Elegon 25 (5th boss of Mogushan Vaults)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C58sYUh9swM

Trial and Error, US Draenor, 25 man Normal mode second kill. Frost Mage perspective.

A lot of things went wrong here, but we killed it anyway. Our intention was to build up 10 stacks of the debuff on the boss, but we only managed 8 instead. The kill would have otherwise been cleaner.

Music used in this video:
1. Scarlet Tempest (Ys Origin)
2. My Lord, Our Brave (Ys Origin)

Will of the Emperor 25 (Final boss of Mogushan Vaults)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1Ik-X054Lw

Trial and Error, US Draenor, 25 man Normal mode first kill. Frost Mage perspective.

The fight requires certain people to do certain things. For those looking for how to do an Opportunistic Strike, I suggest you look elsewhere.

In the case of the Emperor's Rages, keeping them in the 'middle lane' was important to bringing them down. The ones that ran after the Emperor's Strength tanks needed to be controlled; Polymorph was useful in getting them to attack something else.

Music used in this video:
1. The Merciless Savior (Sora no Kiseki the 2nd)
2. Silver Will (Sora no Kiseki the 2nd)


Imperial Vizier Zor'lok 25 (1st boss of Heart of Fear)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXsuMvye60

Trial and Error, US Draenor, 25 man Normal mode second kill. Frost Mage perspective.

This guy is Bullet Hell in raid form.

Music used in this video:
1. Return (Radiant Silvergun)
2. Space Battle Ship 130 33Ki (Radiant Silvergun)

Blade Lord Ta'yak (2nd boss in Heart of Fear)

http://youtu.be/5bvwb0u7WF8

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

"This is the technique of a Blade Lord!"

The kill comes after numerous 5% wipes while under-manning the guy.


Music Used:
1. Stopper (Dragon Slayer II The Legend of Heroes)
2. Battle against the Emperor (Dragon Slayer II The Legend of Heroes)

Garalon 25 man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLYRNDg6k1E

Trial and Error, US Draenor, third kill, Fire Mage POV

Forgot to record the first and second kills. Tried something different this go... and Rune of Power is not that great if you need to move. I usually run this with Incanter's Ward which seems to work just as well without the silliness of moving Runes of Power so much.

The kiting here is pretty much half dps, with the other half consisting of the two tanks and three healers as a sort of compromise to wanting to put in more DPS into Garalon. Of course, going by how this pull went it may as well be like the first kill.


Music Used:
1. Gust of Wind (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)
2. Morning After the Storm (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)

Last two parts of the Dominance Offensive storyline.

The Purge of Dalaran
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ6z6nTCV7w

The second-to-last Horde event of the Dominance Offensive quest line.

Jaina, now leader of the Kirin Tor, has decided she had enough with the Sunreavers and now marches the streets of Dalaran imprisoning any Sunreaver she comes across while her goon squad, the Silver Covenant, take a more active role by robbing civilians and killing anyone who resists. Meanwhile Aethas Sunreaver, the leader of the Sunreavers, is held prisoner, while all means for the Sunreavers to escape Dalaran are cut off. It is now up to Grand Magister Rommath and the champion of the Horde to rescue Aethas Sunreaver and save as many people as possible.

Special Guest Appearance by Lor'themar Theron and a bench that meets an untimely end.

Breath of Darkest Shadow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKUUqp_eEG8

The grand finale event of the Dominance Offensive culminating with Garrosh ringing the Divine Bell... and proving once again he's a clueless moron as his champion gets attacked by orcs-turned-sha. All the while he's making a silly rant and ringing a bell while his men are dying around him.

Wind Lord Mel'jarak (4th boss of Heart of Fear)
http://youtu.be/CFUzdVCo1vE

Trial and Error, US Draenor, second kill, Fire Mage POV

This is an older video that I never got around to uploading.


Music Used:
1. Crater (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)
2. Black Wind (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)

Protectors of the Endless (1st boss of Terrace of Endless Spring)
http://youtu.be/_a5B0cWdbfs

Trial and Error, US Draenor, second kill, Frost Mage POV

Elite mode requires killing Protector Kaolan last; he has more HP than the other Protectors and he drops damage zones that remain for the entire fight. Overall, though, the Elite mode is not too difficult.


Music Used:
1. Sanctuary (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)
2. Prelude to Truth (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)
3. Harlequin's Temptation (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)

Tsulong (2nd boss of Terrace of Endless Spring)
http://youtu.be/lzoM2I10dk0

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Tried to do something a little different with the music in this video. Yes, he dropped two Sha-touched weapons; you aren't seeing things.


Music Used:
1. Hope for the Hopeless (Ys SEVEN)
2. Mother Earth Altago (Ys SEVEN)

Lei Shi (3rd boss of Terrace of Endless Spring)
http://youtu.be/s6CbX5GV3xg

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Lei Shi isn't all that difficult; the only real trouble came from the Corrupted Water Elementals. Keeping those under control is key to winning the fight-- as you can see, our strategy relied on CC'ing everything.

As DPS wasn't an issue, we went with three tanks.


Music Used:
1. Snow on the Great Bridge (Sorcerian Super Arrange III)
2. Ninja Mansion (Sorcerian Super Arrange III)

Amber-Shaper Un'sok
http://youtu.be/dnU2AYEkMmY

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

At first we were trying to do this with the perma-construct method, but it turned out our damage output was too high to keep things under control. Note also we fail at maintaining a running stack on the Amber Monstrosity, which only served to extend Phase 2 longer than it should have.

This kill was supposed to happen a month ago before Xmas break. Instead he got killed in 10 man version over the break (along with the Empress).


Music Used:
1. Searing Struggle (Ys The Oath in Felghana Super Arrange)
2. Chop!! (Ys III Perfect Collection)

Sha of Fear
http://youtu.be/eWo2NIa9TBw

Trial and Error, US Draenor, second kill, Frost Mage POV

Nothing like having another long fight where you do the same thing for nearly 15 minutes.

The first kill was actually recorded, but half of the video got munched, so it's not being posted.


Music Used:
1. Termination (Ys Origin)
2. Ancient Disputation (Ys SEVEN)
3. Final Decisive Battle (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)

Grand Empress Shek'zeer (AKA Rita Repulsa)

http://youtu.be/8kvGQ8oNS-M

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

This is the last Normal mode kill for our 25 raid. Manipulating the disruption fields prior to the Phase 2 transition became more difficult with a higher group DPS.


Music Used:
1. False God of Causality (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)
2. Foliage Ocean in Celceta (Ys Foliage Ocean in Celceta)

Throne of Thunder, the new 5.2 raid zone; 12 bosses in total

Jin'Rokh the Breaker (1st boss)

http://youtu.be/UBLsMXANjaI

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Everyone probably knows by now how much of a pushover this guy is.


Music Used:
1. Mighty Obstacle ~ Wind of Zemeth (Ys The Song of Zemeth Instrumental)


Horridon (2nd boss)

http://youtu.be/hz7h63XC1D0

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Everyone's favorite brick wall.

For the four doors it's imperative that your raid identify which adds to prioritize; this will differ depending on your raid's makeup and needs. For the Farraki door it's the Wastewalkers; the Gurubashi door the Venom Priests (and their copies when they make them); the Drakkari door the Warlords; the Amani door the Flame Casters. Since the Drakkari Warlords have 30 million HP we used our Bloodlust there to get one of them down before the Dinomancer jumped down.

The last minute of the fight wasn't planned.


Music Used:
1. Anger and Grudge (Dynasty Warriors 6 Special)
2. Eastern Wind (Warriors Orochi 3)
3. Teary Edge (Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends)

Council of Elders

One of them is Priestess Mar'li, who used to be in Zul'Gurub. She doesn't turn into a spider in this one, though.

http://youtu.be/t9vjS2HCNUA

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Sul is by far the most dangerous of the four council members; beating him down quickly made the rest of the fight go smoothly.

The Loa adds can be slowed and stunned.


Music Used:
1. Field of Gale (Ys Ancient and Modern Times)
2. Ice Ridge of Noltia (Ys Ancient and Modern Times)


Tortos the giant turtle

http://youtu.be/ksmgb0hAgcE

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

As a bonus, this is from the shell kicker's POV. I made a macro that goes along the lines of:

/tar Whirl Turtle
/click ExtraActionButton1

It does not matter where your camera is directed at; what DOES matter is the angle between you and the direction you want to kick at. It is deceptively easy to do, but it is also just as easy to miss, so this can take some practice (even in the video I completely missed the bats on one shell-- expect this to happen a lot while learning). The absolute worst places to kick a shell from are the walls (this can mess up your aim bad) and at the opposite end of the room from Tortos (the distance is too far).

As a note, you CAN still kick shells if another turtle knocks you into the air.

The key to the fight is to avoid the falling rocks and destroying the cave bats before the Quake Stomp occurs (which gives any remaining bats the opportunity to gib the tank).


Music Used:
1. Chill (Dr. Mario Online)
2. Castle/Boss Battle (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
3. Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)

Megaera the Hydra

http://youtu.be/vcg0PZLFVaY

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Like the Lernean Hydra of the Heracles legend, once you cut off one head, two more grow in its place.

Just watching their heads bob like that reminded me of the Hydra from Warriors Orochi 3, hence the choice in the theme.


Music Used:
1. The First End (Warriors Orochi 3)
2. Theme of Orochi ~ Rebirth Mix (Warriors Orochi 3)


Ji-Kun the big mama bird

http://youtu.be/_aXideK9Pgg

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Four groups of four people handle ten nests with hungry birds. News at 11.

My group drew the short straw and therefore is only assigned to two nests. Unfortunately they both happen to be the farthest distance from the platform, so a slowfall or movement speed buff was necessary to jump onto the lower platform or escape the upper platform (anything less and you won't make the jump). On the other hand that same group gets two extra feather usages to catch the damage buff, while all the other groups only get one shot per feather (and that's in spite of the fact I actually missed it twice this go).


Music Used:
1. Beat of Destruction (Ys The Oath in Felghana JDK Special)

Durumu the Forgotten
http://youtu.be/XOYKFwa-oR8

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

If you look at him it looks like he's wearing a headset, jamming to whatever tune he's listening to.

The biggest problem with this fight is the maze; the best way we determined to survive it is to find the opening behind the group when the walls start forming. From there you can get through the rest of it safely. That is to say, one must move backward in order to move forward.


Music Used:
1. Black Ark Unveiled (Ys The Ark of Napishtim Original Soundtrack)
2. The Depth Napishtim (Ys The Ark of Napishtim Original Soundtrack)

Primordius, the most boring boss since Patchwerk

http://youtu.be/wk4kIK5ZujE

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

The Achievement for Primordius is essentially zerging the boss and ignoring the mutation mechanic. Turns out you don't need anything super in order to do it.

On the other hand it's the most boring way to do it, too.


Music Used:
1. Defend! And Escape! (Ys The Ark of Napishtim Original Soundtrack)

Dark Animus

http://youtu.be/xpkZwWNsmZg

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

The entire fight is essentially how you deal with the small Animus golems. Once you deal with them in a very controlled manner the fight is very short.

Iron Qon
http://youtu.be/3cUH6bt8cZ0

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Don't pursue Iron Qon.

If you go by what Blizzard says this boss is inspired from the warlord Lu Bu, of the Three Kingdoms period in China. He's likely more famous in the west for his appearance in Dynasty Warriors.


Music Used:
1. Theme of Lu Bu FIRE MIX (Dynasty Warriors 4)
2. Theme of Lu Bu PRIME MIX (Dynasty Warriors 6)
3. Theme of Lu Bu DW-SW MIX (Warriors Orochi)

Twin Consorts
http://youtu.be/xJSMwy9Sy8U

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

This fight is extremely easy after all the nonsense Iron Qon put us through; they died within five pulls. It works almost exactly like the LFR version, except you need to use the Celestial power-ups in a certain way in order to alleviate the damage being done to the raid.

For Tidal Force we determined that the Tiger buff is best for the first one, while the Serpent buff was used for the second one (it's really between that and the Ox, but the healers were in favor of getting a mana boost during that time instead).

Our Constellation artist had plenty of practice on the symbols during LFR; they work the exact same way.


Music Used:
1. An Assault (Ys SEVEN)
2. Scias (Ys SEVEN)

Lei shen (final boss of Throne of Thunder)

http://youtu.be/9WE-76p-YK4

Trial and Error, US Draenor, first kill, Frost Mage POV

Started with the Diffusion Chain conduit, then did the Static Shock conduit in Phase 2.

The fight is not very gear-dependent, but it certainly does help. Once you have the mechanics down everything can fall into place easier.

Music Used:
1. Termination (Ys Origin)
2. Termination (Falcom Boss Zanmai)
