Omg, you guys are back doing Guides! Thank you so much, your guides have been a massive help throughout Cata and MoP (although I was getting used to watching the sexy Aliena guides). Hope you guys keep up the great work, and know that my guild has re-subbed with you guys.
I don't know if you guys know this, but if you fall off a tower, and you don't die, it's no big deal. There is a rope, which can be seen in the bottom of the screen at 5:58 which you can click on at the ground near the building. The rope will take you all the way up again. This little trick I found myself, and it helps you save a few seconds on the fight!
"Leaders of the alliance"... Lor'themar Theron, Sylvanas Windrunner and Aethas Sunreaver, two leaders of the Horde and a Horde-side-influenced mage from Kirin Tor... :((
If you are having trouble with killing the adds, pull them back to the npcs. Archmage Aethas Sunreaver is casting Flamestrike frequently, it deals a hell lot of a dmg. It wasn't mentioned in the video as far as I know. This spell helped us to down the bastard.
Yes, melee are more often than not getting the short end of the stick, so it's silly saying we have to do something when 99% of the time we are always the worse dps choice compared to a ranged class. The issue is that it's insanely hard to design a mechanic that favours melee dps over ranged, because it's simple enough for range to stand up close in melee to circumvent anything that makes being at range an issue.
There's a rope that spawns on the side of the tower facing the road. Right before p2, you can use this rope to go up to hit the boss down - rather than running up the steps.
"Ok the Grunts they are pretty difficult... they will use their axes and attack you... MIND BLOWN. " Goddamit and here I am trying to seriously learn these fights and I lifted a pen to write a note or two... tou'che Fatboss tou'che
As a healer you can pretty much stand by the cannon avoiding the cone all together while aoe or direct single target healing everyone on top of the towers.
Forgot to mention the rope that you can drop off the top of the first tower, preventing you from having to climb all the stairs a second time. Not super critical obviously but it is a time saver.
After Korga's adds have shadowstepped behind someone, you do not want to be standing in front of the adds. A little bit of useful information for those who can't figure out to avoid the big dark scary shadow on the ground...
just a heads up guys the NPC change with the faction, Alliance is Jaina Proudmoure, King Wrynn and another one IDK, Horde is Lor'Themar, Sylvanas and some random blood elf mage guy
lol alli random: Vereesa Windrunner (Ranger General of the Silver Covenan, widow of Rhonin, sister of Sylvanas) horde random: Archmage Aethas Sunreaver (leader of the Sunreavers, member of the Council of Six)
been using your vids for a while to learn the mechs...really helpfull and congrats on the job :) just have one thing to ask, your UI...really simple...and clean...can you tell me the "components" or if it's a UI pack? :)
Please amend this video to note that in the second phase, you can tank Galakras exactly where Jaina/Aethas spawns their AoE, which causes the NPCs to help with the fight. We were having trouble with this guy all night, then we decided to give this a shot and according to WoL the NPCs + Jaina's Blizzard contributed to 20% of our damage. This effectively reduces Gal's health by 20%.
Those are your own HORDE leaders, just the ones furthest away from Orgrimmar. Lor'themar Theron (Blood Elf Regent), Sylvanas Windrunner (Undead Banshee Queen (duh)), and Aethas Sunreaver (Archmage of the Sunreavers (though he seems to have lost his BA armor, so I'm not suprised you didn't recognize him)).
My group keeps wiping at around 25%, with 2 melee it is really hard to keep up damage on the boss as well as keeping the raid safe. The fact that you can't move Galakras over to the NPC's unless you shoot him down there makes it harder to get some help with damage. I think that a nerf on the stacking fire damage pulse may be in order, because towards the end of the fight it starts hitting for almost a quarter of my health and quickly becomes unmanageable for healers to keep up with it.
loved the video, more importantly, loved the UI !! Can Numtaz get in touch with me concerning add ons please ? thanks for a great guide will definitely watch the others.
We didn't worry about the demolishers being down before going into the tower. We just ran straight in there and nuked the shit out of the lieutenant. The stun is annoying but not something that's going to cause wipes unless the lieutenant doesn't die quick enough resulting in possible knockbacks
I have problems to settle on a UI. And when I've finally settled with a UI I go to one of your videos and say "Fuck!" And I go back to wow again and change my UI to Loz's UI directly.. xD
Your Paladin Tank has an add-on that makes the Holy Power appear in the middle of the screen instead of under the character frame up there on the left. Also one (maybe the same) that shows duration left on the Shield of the Righteous under his foot in his UI. I'd really like to know what those are. Anyone out there seeing this and knows the answer, please post a reply with the answer. Thank you. Very much.
I have done this fight as a melee and even though DBM tells you the ball is targetting you, it's not really true, you can just stand still and NOTHING will happen. Try it yourself!
What ilvl do I need for normal raiding? I'm quite new to raiding haven't done normal or heroic raiding ever before, only flex and lfr.. My ilvl is 550 now and flex gets really boring lately..
we'vve been having issues on our 10m normal team with the npcs being brought from 100% to almost nothing instantly, and sometimes our interrupts dont work.
Hey guys, I'm a Hunter just about to go and start doing normals and I need some advice. What ability can I use to stun the Bonecrushers? The only thing I can think of is Scatter Shot but I dont really wanna have to take myself away from the AoE (I'm Survival) to do so. Does Freezing Trap work as well?
DO NOT SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME! the boss just get dazed in the air, get one to shoot and then straight after the other one, we spent a couple of attempts shooting at the same time and then our ground team would die because they would be over run with adds
the trolling about Lorthemar would be more effective if this wasn't MoP. Before this expansion, he was just a name most people barely knew. Blizz actually developed him in Landfall and IoT. It would be funny if the Alliance version had Velen in it. Now that's a racial leader that hasn't done jack since...correction, only did one thing in TBC.

If I had a nickel for every wipe on this boss, I'd be able to buy Blizzard.
how does one be horde without knowing your own faction leaders...
"Leaders of the alliance"... Lor'themar Theron, Sylvanas Windrunner and Aethas Sunreaver, two leaders of the Horde and a Horde-side-influenced mage from Kirin Tor... :((
Hydra up u jelly?
"I don't even know, who gives a shit, they're alliance!" Subbed!
jmhanson02 there were horde npcs not alliance
What I love about this fight, is that it perfectly balances the whole melee vs ranged thing.
If you are having trouble with killing the adds, pull them back to the npcs. Archmage Aethas Sunreaver is casting Flamestrike frequently, it deals a hell lot of a dmg. It wasn't mentioned in the video as far as I know. This spell helped us to down the bastard.
"they'll get there axes and hit you with them.......... fucking mind blown" hahahhahahah XD
If you're talking about the Paladin, Haste reduces Cooldowns of certain attacks and reduces general Global cooldown
Always a pleasure, guys :)
a little tip for the tower group: throw down the rope on the corner, that way, if you fall of(or need to get galakras down) you can get up quickly
I agree, I loved these UI's! It'd be awesome if you guys had a page with a list of addons each person has.

The grunts are really complicated. They'll take their axes and like hit you with them. Fucking mind blown!

I'm not a strong raider but you guys made it sound super easy even though you're experienced made it easy for the simplest thinkers :D

Attempted Gate of Retribution LFR as a tank. North Tower boss gunned me down in a matter of seconds
been using your vids for a while to learn the mechs...really helpfull and congrats on the job :) just have one thing to ask, your UI...really simple...and clean...can you tell me the "components" or if it's a UI pack?
:)
there horde leaders they are sylvanis and lorthamar undead and blood elvis
haha, fatboss are the number one loremasters
What UI is that for healing please? The one that places the nameplates at the center of the screen?
The grunts man.
they take their axes, and hit you with them.
fucking mind blown.

How is your interface named? it looks really nice, and nice guide!
Those are your own HORDE leaders, just the ones furthest away from Orgrimmar.

Hey i love you UI its really clean what do u you use? is there a vid ect? ty for your time
On his channel there is a video on the addons he chooses or something about it. I believe that will help a little.
My group keeps wiping at around 25%, with 2 melee it is really hard to keep up damage on the boss as well as keeping the raid safe. The fact that you can't move Galakras over to the NPC's unless you shoot him down there makes it harder to get some help with damage. I think that a nerf on the stacking fire damage pulse may be in order, because towards the end of the fight it starts hitting for almost a quarter of my health and quickly becomes unmanageable for healers to keep up with it.
"It is very important that you keep your tank as high as possible"
*grabs weed bag*
Are Fatboss back on making raid bosses guides?
There is a rope on the side of the towers, which you can use to get back up there again fast.
you can also tank Galakras iside the flamestrike/blizzard ability
Awesome thanks for this video!
dem grunts aye loz and alex uber hard
Both Grid & Vuhdo can look like that, depending on how you configure them.
What is that healer addon, looks very nice I'd like to try it
loved the video, more importantly, loved the UI !!
Can Numtaz get in touch with me concerning add ons please ?
thanks for a great guide will definitely watch the others.
hate to bring it to you, but if u r playing as horde, the npcs are lor themar teron (leader of the blood elves) and Sylvanas (leader of the undead)
Lady Sylvanas, an alliance leader?
- Fatboss you drunk.
i really enjoy this fight
thanks for another good vid
What's your UI? It looks amazing. :O
We didn't worry about the demolishers being down before going into the tower. We just ran straight in there and nuked the shit out of the lieutenant. The stun is annoying but not something that's going to cause wipes unless the lieutenant doesn't die quick enough resulting in possible knockbacks
The amount of times I've wiped on this boss today, ugh.
you know there is a rope so you can up in the tower faster after you cleared it the first time. You just need to click it the first time you are up
its tthe mage casting flamestrike and it does hella damage to the adds be sure to stack them in it.
I have problems to settle on a UI. And when I've finally settled with a UI I go to one of your videos and say "Fuck!" And I go back to wow again and change my UI to Loz's UI directly.. xD
The big fire scorch on the ground, with everyone standing in it I can assume it doesn't hurt, but does it do any kind of buff?
"And if the alliance leaders DO die, For The Horde and everything but you do kinda need them for the encounter."
LOL.
the alliance of leaders (who have gathered on the solemn occasion of boot-stomping Garrosh)
You know...when you are in herioc mode SoO....seeing this, it's just like....that is so easy, I can't believe we ever struggled on it XD
very helpful thank you
is there any way to get you guys UI? it look really clean and spacious, i want it hahaha
Your Paladin Tank has an add-on that makes the Holy Power appear in the middle of the screen instead of under the character frame up there on the left. Also one (maybe the same) that shows duration left on the Shield of the Righteous under his foot in his UI.
I'd really like to know what those are. Anyone out there seeing this and knows the answer, please post a reply with the answer.
Thank you. Very much.
Please Fatboss, leave those nightmares from ICC out of my dreams :
Hahaha, the grunts! ^^
For someone who actually plays horde, you sure knows your faction leaders!
No.... us?
nice work guys is rly helpfull :) . Stay with the good job
Why did you put down 3 feasts?
I was totally mindblown on the axe guys :P
He moved his Holy Power Bar using MoveAnything and he tracks duration of SotR using TellMeWhen.
I have done this fight as a melee and even though DBM tells you the ball is targetting you, it's not really true, you can just stand still and NOTHING will happen. Try it yourself!
always like ur English accent ''fuuking adds'' hehe Thanks for vids.keep them coming :)
wait when do you send up the groups for the towers?
"keep the tank as high as you possibly can"
What ilvl do I need for normal raiding? I'm quite new to raiding haven't done normal or heroic raiding ever before, only flex and lfr.. My ilvl is 550 now and flex gets really boring lately..
550 is ok
Thumbs up if you kept laughing at Fatboss's reference to the alliance leaders
we'vve been having issues on our 10m normal team with the npcs being brought from 100% to almost nothing instantly, and sometimes our interrupts dont work.
Hey guys, I'm a Hunter just about to go and start doing normals and I need some advice. What ability can I use to stun the Bonecrushers? The only thing I can think of is Scatter Shot but I dont really wanna have to take myself away from the AoE (I'm Survival) to do so. Does Freezing Trap work as well?
scattershot doesnt work, but intimidate and powershot does
I believe he meant alliance as "ally" to horde.
where should melee run when they get too many stacks and how long should they stay out?
THEY ARE HORDE LEADERS!!! Sorry for the rage.
Great guide, but those aren't alliance leaders. They are the Undead and Blood Elf faction leaders for the horde.
What action bar addon is you using?
So is it the exact same for Alliance raids? (except with ACTUAL Alliance leaders)
1 + 1 = 6
"Melee get out of a lot of shit" The hell we do!
So you guys moved to Ragnaros EU? :) I greet you!
DO NOT SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME! the boss just get dazed in the air, get one to shoot and then straight after the other one, we spent a couple of attempts shooting at the same time and then our ground team would die because they would be over run with adds
So how do the Grunts work again? Sounds pretty complicated.
Alliance FTW. But excellent video.
they don't play alliance and usually the alliance side will have different npc's so they just said that for alliance people.
smexy british accents gotta love it, but however what heal addon you using? =)
real shit dude
PLEASE GIVE ME ADDON LIST!!! LOOKS SO NICE :D
What addons are the healers using?
the trolling about Lorthemar would be more effective if this wasn't MoP. Before this expansion, he was just a name most people barely knew. Blizz actually developed him in Landfall and IoT. It would be funny if the Alliance version had Velen in it. Now that's a racial leader that hasn't done jack since...correction, only did one thing in TBC.
what addons are you using ?
I REMEMBER THAT!!!!!
Does the ball target tanks?
what is the addons you use?
The Dark Lady, totally Alliance :3
Can anyone tell me what those raidframes the resto druid at the beginning is using?
