Share your Wisdom please! 5 man ubrs!

[Def]

Thats right, we are trying to be the first people that we know of to 5man ubrs on nerzuhl, and id REALLY like some tips on how you guys did it (you guys DID do it right? thats what i heard) anyway, tips? suggestions?

help me out! we are well geared, and well trained, but still need tips

havent attemped yet but we are confident

[dNa]

Well you might be able to do beast with 5 ppl but i doubt you can do drakki :?
Let me ask for the sense of it, since there arent any 5man quests inside why should you try to do it with 5 ? Well i guess you a sports man or something ? :P

[deathjester]

let me guess,...
fame, honor, beer and chicks?

[rage]

alls I can say is mind control->shield wall is crucial.

[Wake]

right......

[kernel16]

yes... hmm, why?

Well ok how about 2 rogues, 1 paly 1 priest and 1 war.

Have priest mc a guard in the end to tank general, roket helm stun another, war will be there in case, paly war and rogue on other guard with stun lock help. Then idk try to kill other guard and kill general LMAO???

Dude no point.

[dNa]

I would recommen a rogue and 1-2 mages at least for cc :? Than warrior and priest but no way to kill drakk :x

Maybe rogue warlock mage priest warrior for seduce sheep and sap also you have SS so you can die every 30mins :roll:
You can chainfear 1 of the adds of drakk than(done it before but always 10-15man group :P), kill the other, than maybe the 2nd guard and drakk hisself :P Maybe you kill both guards and die than you can try again with SS (IF the guards dont respawn instantly after fight, i dont know never ripped there yet :p) ..

However good luck and report here, how far you guys come :wink:

I was thinking about the optimal group makeup for 5 man UBRS. Everything up to Drakkisath is doable with numerous class combinations. With this in mind, class choices should be designed for the Drakkisath fight. Even with great players + optimal classes, though, the encounter may well be impossible with 5 experts decked out in epic gear.

Warrior
Priest
Druid
Paladin
Warlock

Theoretical strategy: Warrior on Drakkisath. Paladin on guard. Druid in bear form on guard 2. Paladin can help keep himself healed, warlock can fear the guard on the druid from time to time to allow the druid to switch forms and cast some healing spells. Warlock pet on Drakkisath in case warrior is caught on fire. There will be a lot of juggling for the priest and the druid. Priest DOT's Drakkisath, warlock DOT's Drakkisath, warrior slowly whittles him down.

IMO it sounds vaguely possible. You might want to bring a 6th person to rezz the 5 of you when you die, because it may take a lot of attempts :)

2 priests t o mind control the guys infront of Drak so you can tank the adds of drak, warrior to tank drak, mage to nuke the living snot out of anything, sham or druid for teh big uber xtra healing on the warrior?

[Scorpicore]

mind control has the tendency to break early or before your controlled mob is dead, either way it would now require all of a warriors attention to get the aggro off the priest now...with drakkisath on his back? sounds doable :wink:

[Scorch]

I'd take a Warrior, Warlock, Druid, Shaman, and Priest. Warlock and Druid can handle the 2 adds, everyone else on Drak :)

[Inconsiderable]

First time UBRS we did it with 11 people (actually we got drakki down to 2% then the server went down). First time really means first time for everybody. So I guess with good (!) equip, some skills and balls you can do it with 5.

Warlock for 1 guards.. druid for other is risky but could work, the important part would be to survive conflagrate on the main tank = 3k dmg and 10 sec stun + aggro loss. Even with 3 pets on drakki, it usually hit main or off tank.

[CuriousJorge]

If people have good fire resist, Drakk does considerably less damage. 4 people pick up engi, and you have 1 minute to kill him. I would say a mage would be helpful for CC on those last couple of pulls. Could be rough with 5.

[Def]

let me get this straight, the rumors of nurfed 5manning ubrs arent true? hmm that shakes my faith a bit....is this doable? i mean im still gonna try. here is my team combo so far.

Def-(me) 60 undead priest,
Warath- 60 tauren warrior (very well geared)
Xeni- tauren shaman
Joandrage- 60 undead mage
Dreadnought- 60 undead warlock

also, let me know if you think THIS is viable.....
general battle, i heal, use a pot, continue healing, run out of mana (nearly), mind blast a gaurd, pull aggro, die, spirit of redemption heal the team for 2k, use soul stone, continue healing, at end of battle pull aggro one more time, once im out of mana, spirit of redemption again, shaman takes over healing warath (at this point all thatd be left is right gaurd whod been feared whole time).

[Wake]

Haha I can't let this go on anymore. AFAIK no group from Nurfed, or anywhere, has 5 manned the general encounter. The encounter was just not designed that way.

I think our best is 8.

[Rog]

yes its possible

no i have not done it


if blizzards in house team can beat onxyia with 14 then drak can be done with 5

you just need your tier 3 epic set and your money!!


but seriously why waste all that time trying? you CANT do it

[Myrsnipe]

Blizz inhouse team 14 manned onyxia O_o, just how long did they fight?

[Hiero]

do drakk guards respawn if he loses agro?

if not i think the best way to handle it would be go with a warlock, pull drakk+ both guards to the other side of the room, engage and have warrior tank drakk, everyone else focus on killing the 2 guards before you wipe

in the event you wipe before you can kill drakk, just use soulstone, hopefully you killed at least 1 guard and can now take on drakk solo or with only 1 mob guarding him? kind of zerg tactics but with 5 men, this seems like the only way possible is to somehow fight him solo.

[Soulless]

Guards respawn when you wipe.

Warrior, Pala, Priest, Druid, Mage

Druid sleeps right guard, warrior tanks drak, left guard has to die fast, then right guard then drakk. If Warrior catches fire Pala tanks drakk, heals himself, Priest heals warrior, druid tries to tank 1 guard in bearform.

Dunno about Horde, but maybe this works for alliance.

Sleep on Drak's guards either doesn't work or lasts for ~5 seconds. Can't remember which =) You'll need a warlock for fear, dps and emergency pet tanking; drop the mage :)

[Lord BEEF]

Drakk's guards are susceptible to the goblin rocket helm/horned viking helm knockout effect, which lasts for 30 seconds. Between that, high fire resist, fear rotations and a warlock permanently on one guard I could see it possibly being done.

[Anticluth]

WRANG.

There was a post asking "How did blizzard 20 man onyxia if we can't even 40 man her" (was before nerf to her fireballs)

Enoyix i think came out and clearly stated "Blizzard has never said nor killed onyxia with twenty people" (although you can be a conspiricy theorist and say "well 14 isn't 20" but fuck off) So no.


Anyway, best I've ever done is 8.

And it took a fuckload of patience, I BET I HAD 900APM THAT FIGHT LOL IT WAS GRATE>

Oh the sleep works for sure. But maybe too short, yes :(
