This thread is sorta aimed at the BT raiding guys who can pwn Gorefiend with their eyes closed.

My guild has downed Teron, but its on and off... I myself haven't done teron since I can't complete the Simulator. Could i get any pointers, once ive frost nova'd, first mob i hit breaks out and wipes the raid. It looks like i'm not fast enough on the tab-target-spiritlance-spam
 
The simulator is harder than the real encounter itself.

As for mastering the encounter, I don't think it will happen. We farm BT every week, and we still have people wiping us on that boss, hell even I am to blame for it from time to time. Sometimes I execute all my ghosts in no time, other times I have one or two slipping into the raid.

The best solution I can offer you, is use mouse over macro's on the ghosts, open up with a chains spell, start nuking the front two ghosts closest to you non stop with ice lance, till the back ones break free. Then start nuking the back ones. I dont bother with the aoe frost spell, since it will break all chained ghosts instantly. Tabbing is not a good idea to use, unless they are in the raid already and you cant see / target them properly between all the chaos. Then there is another macro which is very popular, but I dont use it, it basically targets the ghost closest to you. Key is to monitor your chains spell... if its cooled down, use it. Sometimes you get so obsessed with nuking them down, you tend to forget your chains spell is ready, and thats where it goes wrong. Its the most important thing to keep monitoring.

You are going to HATE bloodboil. I would do Teron 100 times over before I do Bloodboil. I keep wiping the raid on Bloodboil. I pull aggro every bloody week at least 2 /3 times off the tank, I think if the MT gets a form of knockback, his aggro tables reset or something. Its at the point where I use autoshot at that fight, and be contempt with crap dps, and being no 10 on the dps / damage list.

Ty for the reply... On the resets we can get teron down, we're having fun with bloodboil... from videos, it looks like 1 hell of a nightmare for healers
 
Nah, healing bloodboil is not that bad. Although it is a lot easier if you have a CoH priest nearby.

On topic however, Pornolio is 100% right in saying that the sim is more difficult than the real thing. We found that by helping the next ghost once yours are down you are 100% sure to never wipe unless somebody is completely clueless. Porn is also right in saying that the AoE spell is more trouble than its worth. Lance & Nova your way to freedom

So as you get your constructs down move over and start helping the next guy. Also don't panic if you have 1-2 structs in the raid. Once current ghosts kill theirs they can quickly fetch those in the raid. Obviously avoid having them in the raid since the debuff is annoying but still no reason to panic.

Teron however gets my vote for the worst fight in TBC. So boring as a healer!
 
This video helped a lot:

Killed all my constructs 1st time I got the debuff.

On Bloodboil, it is a pretty cool fight for the first 10 wipes. We got him to 7% on our first night of attempts. So here is hoping we kill him this week.
 
if u raid with unshaped its also making the constructs easyer :)

AOE Damge, then AOE Shackle. then Lance Construct #1, Tab,Lance Construct #2, tab, Lance Construct #3, tab.... all the way through
when u get aoe damage or aoe shackle up, use it. rinse and repeat :)

Bloodboil is ..... erm OK! for healing, as long as ur paladins use Holy Light and not there damn flash of LOL! on the Felraged person.

Dont stand near a wall, else u bug the felrage if u get it, as the wall will
not allow u to grow bigger (Glitching/Clipping the enviroment)

BOP or MD tanks that have more than 7-10 armor debuffs.

Click to expand...

Attempted Gorefiend for the first time last night...68% first attempts, Omen was screwing up tho, so it was a wipefest
 
Apparently you need to make sure you have the Threat 2.0 Lib installed with the new Omen.
Just double check that.
 
The trick is to Nova all the ghosts then start a lance rotation on each ghost one at a time, start on ghost number one with one spirit lance, tab to ghost number two and give him one spirit lance, then three then four and then nova again, rinse and repeat and they will all be dead long before they reach the raid.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, i cant access the sim at work :( but will get cracking on it this evening ;)
