10 Man
Hey guys!!! I know this Saturday is the 4th of July and some of you won't be around. That's perfectly fine of course. But some of us will be around, so the plan is to go if we have enough people. (the thought of a joint run with Grasen's raid if they are 1/2 short like us is an option as well)
We will NOT be running next weekend due to the guild meet up, so if we don't get in on Saturday, we're not seeing yogg for 2 weeks.
Let's try to get some replies up early!!!!!
We run Saturday evenings. Invites start at 5pm Server, and we go until people pass out at their keyboards!!!!
Loot rules are simple...you want it...roll need (main spec, dual spec, off spec). You aren't sure or iffy...roll greed. (All alts roll greed)
Git-R-Done Line up:
2 Tanks
Jayel (Prot/Ret) - OUT
Ensidious (prot wutz dps?) -
3 Healers
Morgyn (holy/disc) - Likely if Friday
Heavenleigh (Resto/Chicken) - Confirmed
Kaluu(Holy/Prot) - Iffy
5 DPS
Zaiyah (Raid Ele/PvP Ele) - Confirmed
Serephdragon (Ret/PvP Ret) - Confirmed
Rhoora (Enh/Resto) - Confirmed
Nettibeb (Fire vending machine) -
Roronek (PewPew) -
I want to do a Naxx tonight after Salmon. I think I've only ran Naxx 10 twice on my druid. My goal is to do as many achievements as possible. I would like this raid to be mains and no alts please. I want it to be fast and be out of there in three hours or less. Let me know if you're interested.
In the event that Kitten Brigade doesn't happen tonite, Lava Crab will be occurring instead.
After a tremendous week of 10man raiding, we have a somewhat more laid-back Lava Crab finisher for this week!

Koralon the Flame Watcher Strategy Guide
saedo — Fri, 06/26/2009 - 12:18
Well not technically a Coliseum boss, but a new Wintergrasp one coming in 3.2.
Abilities:
- Burning Cinder: Inflicts 4388 to 4612 Fire damage to enemies within 4 yards of the Burning Cinder.
- Meteor Fists: Attacks inflict damage split evenly to nearby targets within 10 yards of the primary target. Applies Meteor Fists. Duration: 15 seconds.
- Meteor Fists: Inflicts 125% Fire weapon damage damage split with nearby targets.
- Burning Breath: The Burning Breath inflicts 3900 to 4100 Fire damage to all targets every 1 sec for 3 sec.
- Burning Fury: Increases damage dealt by 5%. Activated when Koralon is engaged and stacks every 20 seconds.
The Fight:
Tank and spank. First, cause of Burning Fury, it's a soft enrage, before fire kills everyone.
There is those Meteor Fists which split damage between all it hits in front of him, so think Mother Shahraz. You'll need multiple tanks to just stand with him to sponge off some of the damage, 2 of them should do.
Third, he'll leave patches of fire. Guess what you're supposed to do when you see them.
Kite him about the room in a circle as things spawn. Lots of raid damage, and a bit of a dps check, so just gear check mostly to kill him.

Just setting up a page for 3.2. Nothing much to see yet. What we know so far:
- New epic 10- and 25-player raid dungeon with five encounters, with each encounter being unlocked one week at a time
- A more intuitive structure for harder encounters. This raid dungeon will have four different versions: 10-player, 25-player, 10-player Heroic, and 25-player Heroic, with each one using a separate lockout.
- Introduction of the Crusaders' Tribute! Each of the Heroic mode instances has a new tribute system that will limit players on the number of attempts they get in the Coliseum each week to present a greater challenge for the most battle-hardened heroes. Additional rewards can be earned depending on the number of attempts left in the tribute run each week when the final boss is defeated.
- New 5-player dungeon with three encounters that will include Champion’s Seals as each one is defeated
- New tier of armor and weapons that are modeled with Alliance- or Horde-specific themes
5 man:
From datamining and speculation from achievements, you're likely gonna be facing some champions of the other faction and Argent Crusade tournament ones, and The Black Knight.
Here's some datamined stuff from Argent Confessor Paletress. The fight apparently has memory spells, which summons bosses from the past into the fight. It is unknown whether it'd simply be a cutscene, or you have to fight a 5 man level 80 version of them. Anyways, here are the datamined memories.

10/25 Man:
Right now there's looking to be 8 bosses in the Coliseum, which includes going under it into some Nerubian caves.
Lightbane and Darkbane is probably the same fight, ala Twin Emps, Eredar Twins type thing.
Also the final boss is looking to be... Anub'Arak.
Not confirmed yet, but could be similar to the frost cryptlords: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/june/anubarak_not_c...
14 - Algalon Strategy Guide
saedo — Fri, 06/26/2009 - 11:12
Note:
You may only fight him one hour per week before he despawns.
Health:
- Heroic: 34.83M
- Normal: 8.37M
- 8 minute Enrage
Abilities:
- Cosmic Smash: Calls an abyssal boulder from the sky, dealing 41,438 to 43,562 Fire damage (53,625 to 56,375 Heroic).
- Black Hole Explosion: 15675 to 17325 Shadow damage inflicted to enemies. Instant (20,475 to 21,525 Heroic)
- Quantum Strike: Strikes at an enemy, inflicting 15675 to 17325 Physical damage. 5 yd range (34,125 to 35,875 Heroic)
- Phase Punch: Massive blow that inflicts 8788 to 10212 damage and slowly fades the target to another plane of existence. 5 yd range
- Big Bang: Inflicts 76,313 to 88,687 Physical damage to nearby enemies. 8 sec cast, 3 sec cooldown (107,250 to 112,750 Heroic)
- Ascend to the Heavens: Inflicts 655,500 to 724,500 Arcane damage to enemies. 2 seconds cast. (Berserk)
The Fight:
Gist of it is a 2 tank fight, with massive raid damage, damage to avoid, and adds to kill at proper times, with a bit of running around, and tank CD management.
Phase 1:
First note, he hits hard, but no frontal damage, so position where ever and DPS away. Have the OT try to keep 2nd on threat, and be ready to taunt. Algalon does a Phase Punch, which stacks, and at 5 he'll basically ignore that tank and go for 2nd on threat. Healers be ready to switch.
Every 25 seconds occasionally do a Cosmic Smash one random player (3 in Heroic), just something to not stand in, fire/void zone/rockets/etc.
15 seconds into the fight he will summon 3 (4 Heroic) Collapsing Stars. On their own, they'll blow up dealing 16K (20K Heroic) to everyone in the raid, each. What the dps (1-2 ranged) have to do is kill them one by one, so they don't all blow up at the same time wiping us. They also have to coordinate with Healers to prepare for that massive spike explosion damage each time. Else it could very well kill the tank. Each one that dies drops a Black Hole.
50 seconds into the fight, he will summon 3 Living Constellations (guessing that's Heroic, and only 2 in Normal). They have threat, do damage, etc. But the trick is, if they cross over a Black Hole, they instantly die, taking the Black Hole out too. So ranged, healers would be best to kite them into one. Or a Death Knight just using Death Grip over one.
Every 90 seconds, Algalon casts Big Bang, raid wiper move. This is where Black Holes come into play again. Everyone but 1 person should click on them and get inside one, preferrably the same one, cause they will phase you out of the fight. 1 person has to stay behind else Algalon will berserk.
Inside the Black Hole, everyone takes 1500 per tick shadow damage, and elite Dark Matter mobs will be around, avoid those if possible until Big Bang is over.
The Big Bang will ignore immunity effects, so for the one person to survive it, a damage reduction CD is needed. After the cast, everyone is kicked out of the Black Hole and threat is reset. So a tank is likely best to stay out so he can pick it up faster, but not neccessary if fast enough.
Repeat til 20%.
Phase 2:
Everything that was around will despawn (adds, holes, etc). Algalon will summon 4 specific Black Holes at each "corner". Every 30 seconds 1 Dark Matter will come out from each and the OT has to pick them all up and tank them in a corner.
It's a DPS race to burn Algalon down before the Dark Matter overwhelms you raid.
It is also recommended to switch tanks at 20% so the one tanking Algalon is fresh from Phase Punches. This gives you maybe a minute to kill Algalon before you're forced to tank swap, which can get messy with all those adds. Kill him before you're forced to try that.
Achievements:
Herald of the Titans: Defeat Algalon the Observer on Normal Difficulty without anyone in the raid wearing any equipment with an item level higher than 232.
Title Reward: Herald of the Titans
Basically beat him without any 25 man Hard Mode loot. Supposed to be the 10 man progression path defeat.
Observed: Defeat Algalon the Observer on Normal Difficulty.
Title Reward: Starcaller / The Astral Walker (Heroic)
Kill him for a title in itself
Supermassive: Defeat Algalon the Observer while closing 3 Black Holes (4 in Heroic) within 10 seconds on Normal Difficulty.
Sounds like fluff to kill him while blowing up Black Holes specifically
He Feeds on Your Tears: Defeat Algalon the Observer without any raid member dying on Normal / Heroic Difficulty.
Raid check, kill him without deaths on the very first pull.
