General Drakkisath

[Anonymous]

One simple question:

Can you beat him with a group of 5?

Assuming you have shaman, warrior, mage, rogue and a priest in that group, is it possible?

Unfortunately we didnt get that high of level in EU Beta and since we have to wait till friday for retail, my bro and me got into a heated debate on this.

Input?

[alcaras]

No, since you have to fight him+guards at once... and he has a nasty AOE.

He wasn't designed for 5, so don't bother.

[Wyvvy]

nope impossible, you need 2 tanks on the general alone, that leaves the 2 guards without any aggro control.

upper brs is a raid instance designed for raids not 5 man groups.

ask Tivoli.

When you have five ultimate players with like tier 2 epics and entirely uber equipment... maybe! But then why would you want to go against that big old lizard? :/

2 priests, shaman, druid, warrior

2 preists mind control 2 mobs from the last pull and use them as tanks until they die and kill the rest ^^.

[Lykan]

but in that case could you not mind control his 2 guards and use them as tanks untill they die then just finish him by himself, would that not be easier ?

why even make it that hard?

priest, shaman, rogue, warrior, warlock.

the warlock can chain fear both adds for some infinite amount of time. dps is what is needed during the general, the priest can time the spike dmg and use mostly gheal for mana efficiency. shaman is there for back up heals as well.

5 hunters.. Aim shot Feign death.. Every time one hunter gets agro wait until he closes the 47 yard range then BAM fall down ! ... and repeat :) who needs a healer !

Because you have to worry about him immolating someone, and the druid can act as a backup tank if the warrior gets immolated, but hopefully it's the MCed mobs that do and the druid and shaman can DPS and heal.

[crimsonjade]

right immolation is a concern, but more of a concern for the rogues imo, not the warrior. i guess druid for rogue, my real argument was the warlock strat > two MC'ed mobs. warlock can do dps, keep both adds at bay and let the other 4 members of the party do what they normally do.

[Blah]

druid, warlock, rogue, priest, war

War tanks general, druid chain sleeps left guard, lock chain fears right guard.. while the rogue sits in corner and reads a magazine or something, I dont know.

However I believe the only reason you need 2 tanks would be because of his immolate, I have no fire resistance but with a good priest I have no problem compeltely tanking general while the 2 guards are killed, and I can even tank him just fine until I get imolated, the problem in my groups is usually we forget to set someone in specific to grab aggro when I get immolated so I die running around on fire because all the important classes are getting hit now.

Not to say that it could be done with 5 man with a godly tank or anything, I'm doing it with 15 while that happens so the guards die fast, but if it wasn't for the generals immolate I could see no problems with one tank holding him alone.

[RubiksCube]

Can't Immolate be dispelled by a priest? Is it Magic or a Curse?

[crimsonjade]

no immolate is one of those cool spells that cannot be removed from the person by any spell one of us have.

here's a video of a hunter pulling mobs like that :)
