Hey! Glad to hear that you found the video useful! The game definitely feels very complicated at the start, but everyone always gets better with practice, so keep it up and I'm sure that you'll do great and beat this boss in no time. =) Here's a list of all of the relevant addons that I'm using: Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) (Shows timers for Boss mechanics and plays audio warnings) - You will need both the base Addon as well as the Cataclym Mod: Main Addon: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/deadly-boss-mods-dbm-dungeons Cata Mod: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/deadly-boss-mods-cataclysm-mods Details!

I hope that helps! And more videos will be coming soon =)
It depends on if you can afford it or not, but I would say that it is worth it. It is better than every other 359 Trinket, so you'll only replace it when you get 2 372 ilvl Trinkets from the Heroic Raids.
Yeah, this is Sigs from Reignited haha - I'm guessing based on your name that you're Huck, good to hear from you again man =) I've been done with retail for a while but I've been having fun on Cata too!
@@huckit1243 I feel ya, mythic raiding is such a big commitment - I'm enjoying being much more casual nowadays and just playing when I feel like it. Plus we'll always have stuff like this to prove that we were once hardcore gamers lol: czcams.com/video/NZyheFVbqoQ/video.html
We've tried to get this guy down in the current and last weeks reset with my guild but we simply can't do it... Off tank dies to ads mostly or we get too much ground fire and die 😂
Yeah, he is definitely a step up in difficulty over the other bosses and can be a huge pain - Are you doing it on 10-man or 25-man? We did on 25-man this week and used a 3rd Tank to help corral the adds to keep the fire off of the raid and it helped a ton. I'm not sure if that's worth doing in 10-man though since there's less adds and it might not be worth dropping a DPS. The main thing with the fire is just positioning, the fireballs always get launched at the adds so the adds need to be away from the group, ideally on the outer ring, and the Tank has to move them quickly before the fireball lands and the ground-fire spawns so that they don't regain energy and get more damage / movement stacks. We used Hunter Misdirects to help get them out, and also asked people to not use AoE / Earth Elemental / Army of the Dead etc. so that the adds went straight to the Tank - we also tried to let the adds die near the edge of the ring in P1 instead of the in middle of the room so that they didn't spawn right under the boss, which can lead to fire in the raid stack. And then we just rotate the boss as the adds get kited around so that they don't get hit with the Boss' Breath and so that the fire doesn't catch up with the Raid. It also helped a lot to use a Druid tank with the Infected Claws slow Talent (or whatever it's called), otherwise assigning a Frost DK with the Chillblains Talent or a Hunter Trap rotation for slows helps a ton to allow the Tank to kite without getting smacked too hard. I hope that you guys are able to get him down soon!

How good is the trinket Darkmoon volcano? Is worth buying?
It depends on if you can afford it or not, but I would say that it is worth it. It is better than every other 359 Trinket, so you'll only replace it when you get 2 372 ilvl Trinkets from the Heroic Raids.
Definitely going to keep some of these tactics for our 10 man run, and pushing to stay Fire Mage lol
Heck yeah, best of luck! =)
Love the content, you should make a video on what gems,enchants and stats you wanna push for like 15% Haste and 30% crit
Thanks so much!
I was actually thinking of make a quick Mage guide for this tier, so hopefully I can upload that soon =)
yooooo your name and picture are familiar. Is this Sigs from Reignited? Been having fun on Cata and it's cool to see you playing
Yeah, this is Sigs from Reignited haha - I'm guessing based on your name that you're Huck, good to hear from you again man =)

@@SigsPlays yeah nice to see ya still playing a version of wow. I play retail on and off, but I don't mythic raid anymore

@@SigsPlays we only do 10 mans in our guild
@@WoWfAnLoL50 I see, yeah, it's much harder to control the adds in 10m without a 3rd tank, I hope that you guys are able to get it this week tho! =)
