Nidhogg, Destroyer of PUGs

It's times like this I wish I took raiding more seriously and had a reliable static.

Who else wasn't expecting this guy to be so mechanic intensive?

I suppose it doesn't help that he's a little bugged with his raid buster wiping the party sometimes, even if the adds all die before he speaks and everyone stacks.

I beat it with my third party once I finally had good healers.

extreme mode? didnt try yet.

All those poor puppies!

That fight is not fun when your co healer is busy tanking the floor 99% of the time.

[Rita1989]

It mostly just dodging and having competent healers.

Beat it with 1 party and 4 wipes! Went in with pre-made of 7 and pick up WHM from DF. All I have to say is intensive fight especially that Arkh Mourn needs a lot of people to stack @.@ Such a fitting end to the Grand Finale.

Ah, if you mean normal mode, some tips:

Phase1:
Nothing you need to know here.

Phase2:
Face the thunder dot add away(the snake) and kill it last (since the thunder aoe will wipe party and you dont want to take agro from tank)

Phase 3:
AOE Circles stack them on middle then dodge to the right side
Mirages, simply go to middle of a side on the edge.
Fire orbs (they hit everything on horizontal and vertical)
After damage share run away until the red light stops following you

Thats pretty much all you need to in order to do normal mode. At very least I did it fine on df at second try with no problems.

4 wipe in my first attempt and someone try to kick the other healer. I do not know they also tried kick me, but I leave and ate penalty. I do not be competent for that, I think going to wait nerf or to have more iLvl.

I understand the mechanics. I've gotten to the 20% hp phase like 4 times now, but the problem I'm experiencing is it takes so many deaths for a new party to get there that people get frustrated and start abandoning, meaning you start over with another group of people who don't know the fight at all.

Also what seems to be wiping the party is the add phase because even if I tell DPS to kill the shadow dragon first and to watch out for its charge attack, they stand in front of it while dpsing the other adds.

People just don't like to listen.

On the bright side I have learned that hallowed ground works against that rampage attack he does when the arrows spam on you.
