I'll make a call closer to raid time tonight if we'll be canceling or not.  I really hope we don't but if we end up canceling maybe some 10man raids could get formed up to get some kills in.

I got my Wrathion cloak today

Diyana — Fri, 07/19/2013 - 22:38

I got my Wrathion cloak today guys and I'm totally stoked for raid on Monday!!  Whoo!!  So I really hope raid isn't cancelled again...lolz. But I totally understand if not everyone is back in time.  I think I can wait until Wednesday.  :-)  I will need more Vermin's Bite if anyone can make it for me, I would be super appreciative. I have mats on my DK.

I successfully completed the Wrathion fight in BM, go me!

Ghost, if you are still having trouble with the Wrathion quest, let me know and I can tell you what my final and successful strategy was because I know you were wanting to do it in BM as well.

Diyana that would be great, I only had time for a couple of tries before I had to go. I am hoping to get it done this weekend so any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated :-)

Of course!  Happy to help.  I

Of course!  Happy to help.  I needed to try a lot of different things but I finally found the strat that works the best for BM.  The BM strat is all about burning Wrathion down super quickly in the beginning, there's a short period of feigning death and then getting back up and then destroying him.  Here's my final and ultimately successful strat, let me know if you have any questions or trouble.

You will need the following items:

1. Healthstones from a 'lock

2. Raid flask, food of some kind for the well fed buff and pre-pots

3. A good amount of bandages, I had like 10, only used 1 in my final attempt since I had ironed out the strat.

4. The following pets: a spirit beast of some sort for spirit mend, a corehound for heroism, and a snake for the speed buff.

I found Spirit Bond to be useful because it heals you every 2 seconds or so.  So grab some Tomes of the Clear Mind and swap to that if you aren't already using it.  If anyone is available to buff you, have them do so.  Aeolyn buffed me on his Monk and that was very helpful.  For this strat to work it is very important to do as much damage at the beginning as you possibly can.

Eat whatever food you have, flask and then ring the gong and get into position behind Wrathion but don't open fire right away.  Set some traps around him (don't worry, they won't aggro him, they are for the blobs when they appear).  Start by bringing out your snake pet, use snake's speed buff.  Dismiss snake, take out corehound pet and heroism.  Dismiss corehound, take out spirit beast and activate the spirit beast blessing and keep the spirit beast out for the actual fight to make use of spirit mend.  Then pre-pot and open fire on Wrathion and use ALL CDs.  Stay behind him as much as possible to do the most damage, very important if you are doing the burn strat in BM since you do additional damage when you hit him from behind.  Use spirit mend as needed during this part.

When the adds spawn, kite them around and drop additional traps in their path to keep them at bay and move towards the stairs.  If you find them catching up make use of disengage and deterrance.  Make your way up to the balcony as Wrathion gets ready to do his mirror phase and feign death as far out as you can near the railing.  The blobs will get confused and head back down to the area where the fight starts.  Don't worry about your pet, it may die here, that's fine, you will rez it.  Wait as Wrathion does his mirror phase, this gives you time to get healed back up to full: use a bandage, rez pet and use spirit mend, use a 'lock cookie and then blow up Wrathion once he comes up to the balcony after his mirror phase.  Totally do-able in BM if you do a TON of damage at the start and use that balcony to your advantage.  Took me a few tries to perfect it but once I figured out the optimal order to use the pets and which pet to have out in the actual fight I had it done.
                               

Don't forget about the

Don't forget about the Celestial Offering, the thing that you can buy from the August Celestials when you're honored. It gives you a buff depending on which temple you're at.

indeed

but the buff from that temple is +int which is moot for hunters.
