Re: Shattered Halls



I think it was Dirk Straube <news01@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> that wrote
something like...

After that we killed O'mrogg (again pretty easy fight) and finally
encountered Kargath Bladefist. We couldn't beat him. Our gear is not
that good, mainly greens and a few blue items, very few epic stuff. Both
Palas were specced for healing (one of them was still level 67), so they
were only healing, not doing damage. The tank went in and the rest of
our group kept standing on the stairs. I took care of the adds (with the
help of the hunter's cat), which worked pretty well. The hunter was
doing damage on the boss, but our healers ran out of mana before we got
him down. Think we had him at 35%, which is not really good. Is there a
better strategy to kill him or do we need to gear up first and come back
later?

Sounds like a lack of dps to me.

Might have been better getting one of the paladins to put on his
solo'ing gear and try and contain the adds while you hit on the boss.
If you got him to 35% with only the tank and the hunter damaging him,
you could have had him killed in the same period of time quite likely
if your rogue had also been attacking him instead of the adds.
Possibly even quicker.
Were you taking many heals while dealing with the adds?
