WoW: BWL - Broodlord Lashlayer

[torpid]

Anyone have good, legit strategies for him? We have a strategy that works with broodlord but I'm a little worried it's an exploit because it makes him easier than any boss since BRD.

post your BWL strats?

what server are you on?

We pull him out of his area and kite him. Lots of others have posted this strat on the WoW forums I guess, and most seem to think it's an exploit.

if it works, do it. If the Devs don't like it, they can change it in a patch... That's how I see it anyway.

We just tanked him in a corner and went at it with the raid standing at distance and away from his frontal AoE .. really easy fight.

Can someone post their Vael strategy? We just took down Razorgore last night. We got Vael down to 19% without having a strategy and attempted him until he despawned. I'm interested in any working pointers you might have.

There isn't really much to vael compared to razor or later bosses. Positioning is somewhat important, but not as much as later fights. Just need to manage aggro very well, rotate tanks in wheno thers die, and make sure you don't blow people up with the bomb. A wipe will still happen occasionally with the right strategy, because sometimes too many of one class get blown up. We had 5 healers blown up to start the fight once. We managed to kill it, somehow. Good druid healing, I guess.

We did positioning in pairs of parties in each of the 4 corners.

So I was like one of the last people alive each attempt. I took a fire pot right when i rezzed and another one during the battle. I went in with 169FR. Hammond the priest in my group died rather fast Smile However I was able to keep my party and my partner party decently healed with just spamming regrowth.


My Tips are:

Bring 20 Fire pots to every serious attempt
Get 100-200 Fire resist
Don't worry about your gear, if you are a rogue with volcanic crap, wear it.
You just need stamina for this fight everything else is provided.
Mana users take off all your mana regen/int gear and replace it with +dmg/healing and stamina gear.
The corner grouping seems to work well.
The tank rotation seems to work well.
However my observation was that I had to move around a lot due to line of sight issues with the pillars and the tank in my party was far away from me.

3mins, every 45sec a warrior dies, so that means 4warriors.
Warriors like cheaney need to just execute their asses off.
The 4 warriors all need to have 200 Fire resist or better.
The rest of the warriors should have higher dps than rogues/hunters/mages/locks.

If we lined groups of 4 parties in the two southern corners. Where the entrance is into his lair. Put on the east corner and one on the west. If someone is going to blow up, say a mana caster or hunter, they walk out the gate. And attack from there.

Your positioning is similar to ours, but we don't spread out among two corners. What's the theory there? If Vael turns, it's wipe city either way.

Don't forget to FR buff everyone in UBRS before you go. Forgot to mention that one.

So you do the 4 corner method with 2 pairs of parties in each corner. Where do you have the bomb person blow up? Inbetween their sister pairs? I was thinking that the bombed person on the south side could just run up the stairs or out the gate. If our tanks have 315FR unbuffed on all of them we should just ubrs buff the rest correct? How do you predict which tank will be next or do you just go with whatever he chooses?

We are doing another go tonight on him and I am trying to work out the bugs in our very first strat.

I'm not sure how much detail I'm allowed to go into, and I don't know all the answers, but we don't have multiple corners. We don't turn him at all. He faces the same way he faces to start the battle. We run towards the stairs up to Vael's right, which is in range of the tanks for healing but out of range for blowing up. Don't forget that when you are burning you have instant cast spells, so healers can spam greater heal 4 or prayer of healing non stop. Helps a lot.

I'm not sure how tank rotations work, but they are decided in advance somehow and there is some tricky positioning going on. I don't really fully know, because I have to face away from the fight to help with my framerate.

FR buff in UBRS is 82 and lasts an hour.

.. is deemed an exploit.

He has an ability that does not allow him to leave his room (Leash) that is not fucntioning properly at this time. Pulling him anywhere outside.. aka Vael's room... is exploiting.

 

[torpid]

Yeah, which goes back to the original question of strategies for him, or more accurately for the 4 billion respawning adds.
