Hey great Guide! But 1 addition: Warrior and Druid Tanks can use Heroic Jump/Displacer Beast just when the Boss starts casting his Mark of Chaos, making it alot smoother to deal with it in Phase 3.
Hey Loz and Alex. I was hoping if i could ask about your UI. Mainly for the Weak Auras(?) that displays raid CD's being cast, and who by. I've been looking for a string or addon for this kind of thing for ages and not come across one at all. Would it be possible for an updated addon video, seeing as it's changed quite a bit in WoD or a link to the addon/pastebin of the string? Thank you very much :)
Incredible giveway man! *I paid no money for this beautiful ΙΡΗΟΝΕ 6!* Get yours here FAST (just for the USA) - plus.google.com/108514152611148279174/posts/79neZ54FaQR
I totally feel you. That's what pissed me the fuck off about people requiring AOTC. So how the fuck would new people get AOTC? How did THOSE people get AOTC in the first place? FUcking Royal Dickholes
Thank you for the guides on the Highmaul bosses :) I took lots of notes! I am grateful for the detailed mechanical breakdowns, it makes it a lot easier to translate in multiple ways to others. You have saved my group tons of gold and time =-D Keep up the GREAT work!!!!
Quick question, on your branded call outs how are you having it display the yardage that it can travel instead of the amount of stacks it uses? Thanks!
what we noticed in that fight you can make the add that spawns every nw and then not deal his aoe dmg. whenever one of our warriors charge/stunned it it did not tick for the whole stun duration. another thing is warriors can "jump" with that ability i dont recall the name off outside of that cirlec that teleports you back all the time and let the debuff run out. however they need to time this perfectly since they will only get teleported back one they hit the ground they need to be "airborne" when the debuff run out this can take off 1-2 stacks off the debuff. also what we do is interrupt the orge magi adds which will decrease the intake damage by alot in the intermission phase and since you didnt mentione it ... death knight anti magic shell is worth a SHIT TON for the pulses from ko'ragh even in the last phase where it bombs around you(if not hotfixed) although of my yt name i am sincere in what i wrote here! also if you find any speling errors well fu sir im loaded ^^
Thanks Fatboss! We've been struggling on this boss harder than a fat kid running up a hill. We manage to get to the Intermission before P4 easily enough, and then it all goes to hell. I really love the idea of just having 2 hunters deal with the Wrath mechanic, makes it so much easier for the rest. I also like that it seems you don't have to be THAT far away for it, while our hunters were probably 50-60 yards away...
we cleared highmaul normal in 1 night, and after watching all 7 of your videos, we did things so much more clusterfucky and chaotic. still killed them though :) 5/7 hc now and after forcing my guild to watch these videos and adapting to your strategies i think we will breeze through most of it.
Something to note on p3: If you have a warrior tank in your group he can be tanking the boss right before Mark comes out, then Leap away as Mark is being cast. Requires careful timer watching, but if you do this the group can stay positioned like in p1 and p2, with ranged going in a circle, which helps on mines.
Hint: If you have movement abilities such as Heroic Leap, Charge, Roll, Disengage, Blink, etc, you can use them to greatly reduce the amount of damage you take from Force Nova.
Just a little tip, mages can blink their way clear over the force nova without taking any damage at all from it. Very handy if nothing else to take a bit of load off your healers. Do be careful so you don't blink your way into a mine though of course. Edit: Hadn't seen the entire video when I posted this.
Have been having a ton of trouble getting weak auras set up to display the healing and raid cooldowns. I noticed you guys have it set up pretty much exactly the way I am looking to set it up. Mind sharing your string to help a fellow raid leader out :D
You can keep doing the normal p1 p2 strat for p3 if you have a warrior tank, 1 sec before he casts the rooted mark leap out to a safe location from range and as soon as you get it have the other tank taunt the boss, pretty much simple and makes the fight easier.
HM is kind of weak overall IMO. Every fight pre-Margok is simple, glorified 5man mechanics which poses no threat before Mythic, and then Margok is just "throw everything in the bucket and chuck it at them". I'm not impressed with HM at all, mechanics wise or thematics wise. Very lackluster.
Joakim Nielsen Are we doing the same Highmaul? Every fight in there is hard as balls Normal is scaled more like the OLD normal, instead of the old flex Does it get easier on heroic? That's weird if it does
Thanks for the guides, they've been a huge help to me and my guild Just wondering what is the music that is playing right at the end of the video? Thanks
If it isn't too much of a bother, could you tell me what interface/raid addons you're using? It would help a lot, thanks either way, because your videos are SUPER helpful.
No one plays with me. I can't stay in a guild longer than a week before I leave I find Normal and up too hard. I just want to see the fight/story as a Lore and RPer.
The difficulty jump from the first 5/6 to this is mad, but il admit it's a great fight, the Hc version felt like a really close but super satisfying kill
Hi guys! I love your guides. Can you please tell me what is the addon what shows above your caracters head in a "chat bbubble" if you got any debuffs, fixates, sh#t on you?
Hey Fatboss! I would really appriciate if you took you're time to tell me what addon the healer is using at 1:25. The raid group addon. And thank you for you're videos! Helps out alot!
Great guide just like the others! I just want to stress to people you need to nuke the reaver. No joke when they say bloodlust and use all DPS CD's. We struggled with that phase until we decided to not use any DPS CD's for intermission 1 so we would have them at intermission 2. Second time we used that strat we downed the boss. First time we died to panic in p4 with everyone spread out.
What addon is the one Shasco is using to get the debuffs next to his unit frame? It might just be the unit frame addon he's using, but would love to know :)
Hi, I have a question. On P2 to P3 and P3 to P4, the adds that deals aoe damage when it dies, why can't I just get a third tank(has to be monk) and just pull those adds the entire fight? Since you don't need to kill it, means no AOE damage, makes this fight like 10 times easier? Is there a reason why this isn't suggested?
Can you please tell me which addons you use? I see bartender, but that's about the only one I know of. Thank you! The interface is sooo pretty and clean.
My guild is having trouble in the last intermission phase of this fight on heroic. We don't have enough damage to see that the reaver and warmages are down before the boss comes down and spawns another aberration. While dealing with the other adds. It's quite frustrating >=[
Hello fatbossTV we are currently stuck on this boss on HC. what were you average item lvl in the raid grp then you killed the boss? and what setup would be best? 2-7-4 or 2-7-3
hey fatboss my dbm dosen't wanna show the yd left on Branded idk how to fix it becaus im a hunter and im one of the guys that have the duty to bounce it around
Since it's unlikely that FatBoss will ever link their Arcane Wrath/Branded WeakAura strings where ppl might actually see them, here they are copypasta'd from below: P1/2/4: pastebin.com/FjNpWwiW P3: pastebin.com/ThzqfQiA 1thumb up=1prayer.
Ok i see your hunters and other with the Arcane wrath debuff.. and they are saying{ arcane wrath 50y on " player") etc.and it changes on stacks. Is that a weak aura string? If so could u link the string. If not, what are you guys using for this? Thanks again good work
Mythic Guides for Kargath, Twin Ogrons and Brackenspore coming this week. We'll throw in Tectus and Ko'ragh if we have time ;)

Hey great Guide!
But 1 addition: Warrior and Druid Tanks can use Heroic Jump/Displacer Beast just when the Boss starts casting his Mark of Chaos, making it alot smoother to deal with it in Phase 3.
hey fatboss just wondering...what video editing software do you use to give you that really good quality on your videos?
Hey Loz and Alex.
I was hoping if i could ask about your UI. Mainly for the Weak Auras(?) that displays raid CD's being cast, and who by. I've been looking for a string or addon for this kind of thing for ages and not come across one at all. Would it be possible for an updated addon video, seeing as it's changed quite a bit in WoD or a link to the addon/pastebin of the string?

That coin roll tho..

You can't get ahead of the curve without a group. And you can't get a group without ahead of the curve.
This is my life.
***** My guild isn't hc raiding, and I dont have 3 days a week to raid with hc guilds, even if I wanted.
***** The way I have fun is to challenge myself in WoW. I could'nt really do that without this achievement back then.
I totally feel you. That's what pissed me the fuck off about people requiring AOTC. So how the fuck would new people get AOTC? How did THOSE people get AOTC in the first place? FUcking Royal Dickholes
Now that's a Raidboss! Lots of phases, many things, evolving mechanics...AWESOME. Can't wait to get there!
Thank you for the guides on the Highmaul bosses :) I took lots of notes! I am grateful for the detailed mechanical breakdowns, it makes it a lot easier to translate in multiple ways to others. You have saved my group tons of gold and time =-D Keep up the GREAT work!!!!
Quick question, on your branded call outs how are you having it display the yardage that it can travel instead of the amount of stacks it uses?
Thanks!
I love the way you explain mechanics. Sarcy and cheeky, without the assholery.
Thank you for this guide, could not for the life of me find a way to make this boss less chaotic for our guild. This will help
what we noticed in that fight you can make the add that spawns every nw and then not deal his aoe dmg. whenever one of our warriors charge/stunned it it did not tick for the whole stun duration. another thing is warriors can "jump" with that ability i dont recall the name off outside of that cirlec that teleports you back all the time and let the debuff run out. however they need to time this perfectly since they will only get teleported back one they hit the ground they need to be "airborne" when the debuff run out this can take off 1-2 stacks off the debuff. also what we do is interrupt the orge magi adds which will decrease the intake damage by alot in the intermission phase and since you didnt mentione it ... death knight anti magic shell is worth a SHIT TON for the pulses from ko'ragh even in the last phase where it bombs around you(if not hotfixed) although of my yt name i am sincere in what i wrote here!
also if you find any speling errors well fu sir im loaded ^^
The Arcane Wrath ability is absolutely glorious. More original boss abilities please!
Damn, that is the smoothest looking Imperator kill I have seen. Pugs are a complete mess!
Thanks Fatboss! We've been struggling on this boss harder than a fat kid running up a hill. We manage to get to the Intermission before P4 easily enough, and then it all goes to hell. I really love the idea of just having 2 hunters deal with the Wrath mechanic, makes it so much easier for the rest.

This fight looks awesome! crazy programing involved i'm sure! Can't wait to try, Thanks as always for the vids, they are greatly appreciated! :D
Such a cool raid imo, was awesome getting ahead of the curve on this.
great video, really helps to see how the arcane wrath bouncing is handled.
Thanks for the upload, Fatboss, keep up the good work!
This fight sounds so cool, will love trying this out, and thankfully I will now know what to do
we cleared highmaul normal in 1 night, and after watching all 7 of your videos, we did things so much more clusterfucky and chaotic. still killed them though :) 5/7 hc now and after forcing my guild to watch these videos and adapting to your strategies i think we will breeze through most of it.

Thanks for the awesome guides you guys make helps me and my guild out so much:)
Vatti's UI is so clean :O, can't wait for your next stream Alex/Loz
I would love the weakauras from the mage... Great guide guys!
Thankgod for Fatboss! Every other guide out there sends me to sleep...
I've seen some kill videos of the warmages being pulled into the group of anomalies so the group can cleave all the adds.
really nice guide, found you guys accidentaly. Will keep watching! :D

seems like an awesome fight, can't wait to do this on sunday! :D
this fight is spectacular!

Loved the videos. I was wondering, now that you have finished all of the bosses, where do you think Highmaul ranks among other raids?
Almost there:) guild and i are 5/7 this boss looks like a blast!! And that staff is so badass
You can keep doing the normal p1 p2 strat for p3 if you have a warrior tank, 1 sec before he casts the rooted mark leap out to a safe location from range and as soon as you get it have the other tank taunt the boss, pretty much simple and makes the fight easier.
Excellent boss fights in this raid.
This boss is like three times harder than any other boss in the instance, lol.
To be fair, it is the last boss :P
Thank you for the guide. It is very helpful.
This fight is cancer. Everything in Highmaul is so simple and easy and then the Imperator comes around and fucks everything up.
HM is kind of weak overall IMO. Every fight pre-Margok is simple, glorified 5man mechanics which poses no threat before Mythic, and then Margok is just "throw everything in the bucket and chuck it at them". I'm not impressed with HM at all, mechanics wise or thematics wise. Very lackluster.
JapanForSale Sure, you probably got 7/7 mythic worlds first.
That is very true, Japan. I have yet to do Mythic but that seems like a real challenge so i'm excited.
Joakim Nielsen
Are we doing the same Highmaul? Every fight in there is hard as balls
Normal is scaled more like the OLD normal, instead of the old flex
Does it get easier on heroic? That's weird if it does
PrimarchEldarAutarch They're just full of shit or have played since vanilla only taking breaks to shit, eat, and sleep since 2004.
Yo fatboss, Great guide as always, whats the addon called where it /says the yards on arcane wrath? would help if you can tell us, ty.
DBM...
He's not using DBM.... Hes's using Bigwigs and bigwigs doesnt do it
It's a weak aura.

Hope this helps.
Got him down to 10% on pug and no vent. Fun fight, great video.
Thanks for the guides, they've been a huge help to me and my guild
Just wondering what is the music that is playing right at the end of the video?
Thanks
If it isn't too much of a bother, could you tell me what interface/raid addons you're using? It would help a lot, thanks either way, because your videos are SUPER helpful.
can't wait for LFR...
Why LFR? Just go Normal.
Davis Productions Meant to see how much fail there will in that fight. For that regard I can't for LFR either :p
No one plays with me.
I can't stay in a guild longer than a week before I leave
I find Normal and up too hard.
I just want to see the fight/story as a Lore and RPer.
Lousie The Cute I guess I can understand your point.
they will make lfr so easy a caveman can do it
Blizz really was like ' hmm what else can we change to this boss, you know fuck it let's just put it all in'
The difficulty jump from the first 5/6 to this is mad, but il admit it's a great fight, the Hc version felt like a really close but super satisfying kill
FatBoss is the best, thanks for this awesome video, as always. And I miss the guy who says "hellooooooooooooow"..
Does anyone know what the helpful ally buff addon at 14:31 is called, the one in the right-middle of the screen?
Looks like one hell of a fight.
The small anomalies do not explode when stunned it makes the fight much easier :)
I miss hearing your opinion of the fights and some of the humor!
Great video,thanks for that...We will engage him tonight on hc so posted this in our guild forum... :-)
Hi guys! I love your guides. Can you please tell me what is the addon what shows above your caracters head in a "chat bbubble" if you got any debuffs, fixates, sh#t on you?
Any chance for resto druid's interface addons pack (with settings folder) from this movie?
Hi, nice guide!
What's the addon you guys use to announce the yard % for arcane wrath?
Cheers!
watched all the guides very helpful for a tank thank you :)
Everything is "incredibly simple."
Please what is that rouge UI and addons at 9:53....Please reply I need this
How are they showing the range on the currently "Branded" target? This would be very useful since it changes throughout the fight
What boss timer Addon are the Mage useing in the begining? Looks clean
Awesome guide! Whats the name of the background music you guys used??
At 2:23, what ability is the Holy Pala uing there? Is that Light's Hammer that he casts on the ground, the AoE heal?
Yep that's the hammer
Thanks
Hey Fatboss! I would really appriciate if you took you're time to tell me what addon the healer is using at 1:25. The raid group addon. And thank you for you're videos! Helps out alot!
That's VuhDo
Whats that sweet addon that u have for bosses abilities.... looks so nice :)
Hi ! And thanks for your guides.
Which addon your rogue use to get is combo in the "middle" of his screen pls ?
Also which addon which in the lower left corner displaying his cooldowns i believe it was on boss's spells?
Wow whoever the frost mage is, he has a very clean looking UI
what ui does your warrior tank us please looks smooth and clean
Guys, when the buff with yards coming on melee? should u just stand at the boss so it bounce to another melee and at last bounce u have to run out?
Thanks~ good video guide
and what's addon of unit frame they used?
Awesome guide =)
Great guide just like the others! I just want to stress to people you need to nuke the reaver. No joke when they say bloodlust and use all DPS CD's. We struggled with that phase until we decided to not use any DPS CD's for intermission 1 so we would have them at intermission 2. Second time we used that strat we downed the boss. First time we died to panic in p4 with everyone spread out.
What addons is the resto shaman using? It's got a really clean look to it.
What addon is the one Shasco is using to get the debuffs next to his unit frame? It might just be the unit frame addon he's using, but would love to know :)
what is the addon that displays above player head the branded and yards?
Lucky guy there, Staff from the boss on a bonus roll with socket :)
I don't think Fatboss's disengage was ever off cooldown for that fight
What is the addon called the hunters got when they get hit by the dot?
I just did whole highmaul in hc for the part of savage hero achi, but it says I haven't killed him? like wtf blizz?
What's the addon showing you the raid timers? It's so clean I want it.
What add-on does the /s and tell the remaining yards on the de-buff etc?
Hi, I have a question. On P2 to P3 and P3 to P4, the adds that deals aoe damage when it dies, why can't I just get a third tank(has to be monk) and just pull those adds the entire fight? Since you don't need to kill it, means no AOE damage, makes this fight like 10 times easier? Is there a reason why this isn't suggested?
Is there anywhere i can download this guys exact ui? At 1:30
Can you please tell me which addons you use? I see bartender, but that's about the only one I know of. Thank you! The interface is sooo pretty and clean.
Oh I didn't add, the first user interface. The mage.
My guild is having trouble in the last intermission phase of this fight on heroic. We don't have enough damage to see that the reaver and warmages are down before the boss comes down and spawns another aberration. While dealing with the other adds. It's quite frustrating >=[
What is that raid frame addon you are using on druid?
thats just the blizzard one
Rubber Beaver Well how do I make the blizzard raid frame show groups?
Nunu Bot
Esc > Interface > Raid Profiles, look for "Keep Groups Together" near the top.
:) You can jump over his Force nova ability if you time it properly. You won't take any damage if you clear the outer most part of it.
Is it a adon that tell you the distans of the arcane wrath?
What Ui addon do you use on Hunter named Fatboss? Or what addons have you used to setup the ui? Thanks in advance.
Hey Fatboss. What mod is that to the right of your chat box? Shows the boss spells/casttime/cooldown.
What is the recommended damage that a player needs to do on this boss?
Hello fatbossTV we are currently stuck on this boss on HC. what were you average item lvl in the raid grp then you killed the boss? and what setup would be best? 2-7-4 or 2-7-3
What is the string for the announcement of the Destructive Resonance circle? I could google it but i cba :P
these videos helped me alot! thanks!
Arcane wrath spawns on melee, sometimes, at least in my group... Makes it a little more difficult to deal with. especially in phase 2.
hey fatboss my dbm dosen't wanna show the yd left on Branded idk how to fix it becaus im a hunter and im one of the guys that have the duty to bounce it around
I want to make my action bars look like yours. What add on is this? Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere.
10:22 combat rogue using daggers?
Since it's unlikely that FatBoss will ever link their Arcane Wrath/Branded WeakAura strings where ppl might actually see them, here they are copypasta'd from below:
P1/2/4: pastebin.com/FjNpWwiW
P3: pastebin.com/ThzqfQiA
1thumb up=1prayer.
RUclips comments fucked it up a bit. The first string ends at "pastebin.com/FjNpWwiW" not "P3".
What is the name of the UI used from the POV of the hunter?
Does Arcane Wrath only go on ranged/healers? Havn't been able to find any info on that anywhere.
this is the point i regret my decision about rolling healer...
Ok i see your hunters and other with the Arcane wrath debuff.. and they are saying{ arcane wrath 50y on " player") etc.and it changes on stacks. Is that a weak aura string? If so could u link the string. If not, what are you guys using for this? Thanks again good work
FatBoss has linked the strings in the comment thread by EverlastingMG.
