The final boss in Ramparts is scheduled for a beat-down.. On Warcraft Episode “Ramparts. Vazruden and Nazan” Mark: Welcome back to On Warcraft on On Networks. I am Mark Major. Arwyn: I am Arwyn Wheats. Mark: And we are going to take you through the last part of the ramparts, part three with Vazruden the dragon rider and Nazou, naza… Arwyn: Nazan. Mark: Nazan. Arwyn: His little friend. Mark: His little ridden friend who he rides on, because he is a rider on the storm. Alright let’s kill some dragons. Arwyn: Alrighty. Mark: Alrighty. Arwyn: I’m ready. Mark: I’m ready, to get through this rampart. Arwyn: Cool, awesome. Well if you are ready then you have probably brought your fire resist gear. And this is the one for it. That’s right because the dragon itself spits fire. Mark: Shocker. Arwyn: Right, so there is a lot of fire damage in this fight. The first thing you need to know heading to him, is and mind you, you already killed the other bosses and trash, if not everything. You have two guys to kill at the beginning of the bridge. And then the next two guys at the bottom of the bridge directly below the dragon and its rider, they start the event. So make sure you know this going in, because otherwise when you start the event it is really a kind of shocker. Mark: That’s right don’t alert the little guys until you are ready to rock. Arwyn: That’s right, it’s the second guys. You can keep them sheathed, spirit regen or do anything else to get your mana and your health back up. And once their dead you have about 1.5 seconds to drink if you haven’t, if you have got someone who maybe killed a sheep to fast or something like that. You have got a really, really short window to drink. Mark: Yeah that’s not a lot of time. Arwyn: Not a lot of time but if your really on the ball you can do it. Mark: I know a guy who can put a pint down in a second so. Arwyn: 1.5 seconds flat? One second flat? Mark: One second flat, just open u the throat and bam down it goes. Arwyn: He could do another half then. Mark: He could. Arwyn: So uh once you are up to full health and mana and everything. This is where you are going to want to engage and the dragon. Now originally you have the dragon and the rider swooping around. He guy who comes down first is the rider. I guess he paratroops off or something. Mark: He jumps off. Arwyn: He just kind of comes down to kill you. I wish it were that combatic. It would really make the instance a lot more interesting. As it I he just kind of comes down and runs to you. Yeah it is not very showy at all, he is not very limber. So you want the tank to taunt him immediately. Because having killed the first two guys, no one is agro the boss yet. He is going to the healer, always. Everyone loves the healer. Who doesn’t? So you want to make sure he taunts off. You want to make sure that while the dragonling is circling around. Mark: Is this a real dragon or just a dragonling? Arwyn: He is a real dragon, he is bonafide, fire spitting, floating in the air, the whole nine yards. But while he is circling around he is spitting fire down on you. While your killing his rider. I guess he likes being ridden. So he is really attached to this guy, he is going to try to protect him. At about 20 percent the dragon will land and he will come try to beat you up himself. Mark: He is done calling in air strikes he is going to make it personal. Arwyn: Right. Now the thing about him, you still need to be killing, what is he, Vazruden? Mark: Vazruden. Arwyn: Vazruden the herald. You need to still kill the guy even while your tank immediately taunts the dragon, because he will go after the healer. Mark: He will rock your world. Arwyn: He likes bar b qued healer and he takes it raw or whatever. So make sure to taught him off your healer or whatever. And kill the guy. Start on the dragon, the dragon breaths fire. Mark: The guy should be pretty much dead. Arwyn: The guy should be that’s the point, if you have done anything in your job right. But if you re coming at a level 56, you might have a tougher time bringing them both down. But still just, you get the job done, so he breaths the fire of cone. The dragon does. Mark: Cone of fire? Arwyn: Fire of cone. Mark: Fire of cone. Wow that’s a new one. Arwyn: It’s kind of funky actually. Yeah he throws cones at you, they are pointy. Cone of fire, are you happy? Cone of fire, which means if you face the dragon stay from you party members, they don’t get hit with your fire. So you have got to have a tank that is kind of on the ball, knows how to position the bosses and things like that. If the tank does get in the fire, he can strafe. You know side to side running, strafing means side to side and shoot. Mark: I know I know that. Arwyn: So he can run out of the way of the fire cone, and he can also run in between the dragons legs to get out of fire. That is the same with other melee. Now if your melee DPS, you should not be in front of the dragon. Mark: No you want to be behind the dragon, away from the action end. Arwyn: Aim for the tail. Aim, well on your point of view I don’t know, but aim for the tail. Mark: That’s a different game. Arwyn: If you are melee just hit him in the butt basically. Everyone else should be ranged and vanishing themselves because especially on a lower level group like 56 going on forward. You are going to make sure that your healers are just healing your tank. It is a tough fight, if you are at that level. Mark: There is lots of hurting going around. Arwyn: Lots of hurting, so again, fire resist gear is going to be helpful. The other thing that is going on while the cone of fire is being spat upon and the guys are moving around. He is still going to be throwing out rings of fire that stick to individuals and it is like napalm. So if you get hit by one of those. It smells like defeat if you stay in it. Mark: Depends on your point of view I guess. Arwyn: Well for the dragon yeah, so run out of those fires and you should be fine. They do a lot of damage tick for tick; just run away have your DPS bandage yourself. If you are the healer obviously heal yourself. But keep your focus mainly on the tank, because they are going to be in a world of pain. Mark: Yes they are a world of pain. Arwyn: Get through the fight, a fiery world of pain. It kind of has a warm burn. It’s nice, it a good hurt. If something happens and you wipe on this fight, you can reset it. There is a big curly horn on the side of the ring. Mark: Ricolla. Arwyn: Right the problem is if you actually succeed, the box drops with the fat loot in it, and someone blows the horn, loot first. Because if that horn gets blown dragon is back in the sky and his box is gone. Mark: And your like what, what, oh oww it burns. Arwyn: So you got to do it again. Aw the pain, aw the atmosphere. So you have to do it again if you do blow the horn. So it’s a failsafe, but if you got four morons in your party, the same guys that forgot to loot the other two bosses. Mark: No well I didn’t, they are running around naked and they are blowing horns and pulling switches. Arwyn: You know the ones. G kick. So once you have got the guy down obviously loot, don’t blow the horn unless you mean it. Right and from there you are golden. This is the last guy. He drops the last quest item that you need, the other two that you have collected. And he also drops a new quest item. Mark: Right to start you off on a new path to glory. Arwyn: That’s right, hats going to lead you straight over to the blood furnace, which is the next instance in this hellfire citadel complex that you have been fighting in. So that is a pretty cool thing. Mark: That is very cool, so to wrap it up. Arwyn: Right o’ what we are going to do is head in there, fire resist gear. Mark: Fire resist that. Arwyn: The dragon is a fire spitter. He is a spitter. Mark: He is a fire starter. So make sure you are resisting that fire, you are staying out of the fire when he doe spit on you. Run away from it. And if you are the tank face him away from your party so you are the only one facing that fire. Let everyone else hit the butt. And then loot the box; it has got your fat loot in it. Don’t blow the horn until you need to. The horn resets. Mark: That is a good life principle I think. Arwyn: Don’t group with morons too. Mark: Alright so you have gone through the ramparts, hit the Omor, hit Gargamel, and hit the dragon rider dude, what comes next? Arwyn: Well with all those quest done you’re going to return back into your little town, which ever which on you are. And this quest is going to send you to the blood furnace. Mark: Awesome! Arwyn: Hellfire part 2. Mark: Hellfire. Arwyn: So another part of the citadel, more loot more xp, more reputation. It’s not easy to get too though. Mark: Yeah it is kind of a pain, you got to go around and over the. Arwyn: Over the river and through the woods, but grandma does not live here. So in the next episode we will tell you how to get to it because it is a little bit convoluted. Mark: So stay tuned for the next episode.
Get through BF in record time and move on to instances that you actually want to run.. On Warcraft Episode “Blood furnace Overview” Mark: Welcome back to On Warcraft on On Networks, I am Mark Majcher. Arwin: I am Arwin Lietz. Mark: And we are going to be taking you through the Blood Furnace forge, furnace. Arwin: Burn that blood. Mark: Burning blood. Arwin: Burn it. Mark: This is another kind of medium sized, three boss instance with a bunch of stuff in it. Arwin: It is longer than the Ramparts, and it is a little bit more of a pain in the ass to get through, but it is all about the warlocks, wet dream! They love it here. And all the warlocks in there for mobs, they love you; they want to be with you so it is a good time. Mark: They love you until it hurts. Arwin: It hurts bad. Mark: Alright, we’re ready to go. Arwin: Let’s go, you have to get their first. Mark: We’ve got to get there, how do we get there? Arwin: Well they could not have made it anymore further away for the horde particularly but also for the alliance is a pretty big pain. You have got to go, if you’re starting at the Ramparts, because you know I get there now. Start at the summoning stone and you’ve got the head across to this tiny little bridge that is heading over to the, kind of like the alliance stronghold. You go across the little dirt path and then head around to the right crossing along the chasm edge. You’ll see a long flight of stairs which suck, because if you fall off of the stairs you have to go back and around and go back up the stairs and then you’ll actually walk along Ramparts, why you do not walk on the Ramparts to get to Ramparts I do not know. It is retarded, but you walk along the Ramparts and it will lead you right into the instance, which is at the top of Hellfire Citadel. You head in there and the same thing with the ramparts, you can go in there really early. It is not worth it though, because this instance is about an hour and ½ to 2 hours, much longer than the 45 minutes of Ramparts. Mark: You really only have to do it wants if you want to. Arwin: Just go in for the quest; just really go in for the quest. And that is a quest that you can pick up that 58. You have to start and do the Ramparts first and then go in and continue Hellfire. It is just a collection quest is pretty easy, just kill a couple of orcs and get; actually I think you get the blood. Mark: Awesome, in the furnace? Arwin: In the furnace that’s right, the crucible as it were. The other thing that you can do is this kind of a exploration quest when you go into the Blood Furnace, you have to go to certain points like the final boss and you’ll find that and no problem there. So… Mark: Let’s get in it. Arwin: We are in. We have figured it out and we have found where it was, the trash in here, there’s going to be some rogues stuffed in here. They’ll just kinda chill out and wait for you, they also respawn so even after you’ve found them and killed them if you inevitably wipe and come back in… Mark: Yep, they will be there waiting for you. Arwin: So don’t run in alone, it is silly. Mark: Keep a buddy. Arwin: Keep a buddy always at least a buddy, a buddy or four. Mark: Maybe five, or four. Arwin: The whole party in their but as I mentioned before it is a lot of warlocks, warlock paradise. This is where they go on spring break I think so when you’re in there killing you want to make sure to line of sight pull them so that they have to run forward and kill you, or try to. Hopefully they don’t. Mark: You do not want them to kill you. Arwin: You do not want them to kill you. Mark: Don’t do that. Arwin: But they fear because they are warlocks, so pull them away from any other mobs that you are fighting, and if they cast Hellfire or anything else like that on you move out of it. Just walk away. You do have some, some summoners; you want to make sure that you kill those guys first because they’ll come after you. So the trash is not too big, not too big of a deal nothing out of the ordinary. If you have a warlock in your party then it is super handy because they… Mark: They grabbed those monsters with their mind and throw them away. Arwin: They can enslave and you can have a monster tank for you to kill other things or whatever else happens. There are lot of fell guards in here and those are the big nasty tin men of the warlock world they’re pretty tough so again it is helpful to have a warlock insight. It is also really handy to have a crowd control in this instance. All three bosses somehow can benefit from, very benefit from the crowd control. So we will talk a little bit more about the bosses in other episodes. Beyond that, aside from nice to have a warlock, nice to have or really nice to have crowd control your typical fine and party is going to get through your just fine. Mark: Yeah, walk on through. Arwin: You just get on through and get your quest done, it is pretty standard and it has got good reputation, better loot than ramparts actually. Mark: But none as efficient time vs. the looting. Arwin: No, not as efficient, but when your grinding up from 61 to 62 this is another place to come. Mark: You’re going to hit it. Arwin: Hit it good. OK one thing to note if you do find yourself in the blood furnace and you want to jack up your experience in your reputation gain. Mark: You can do that. Arwin: You can do that, as you are in the Hellfire Peninsula there are PVP options, this is even on non PVP servers it is kind of cool. You can capture towers and you’ll go back to your town and get tokens or something like that, you will turn them in and they’ll give you different marks that add buff to you. The buff will give you 25% more honor, reputation game, and 5% more experience. Mark: That is good. Arwin: So if you find yourself in instance that frankly is not as efficient as ramparts in the Hellfire area. Mark: Say Blood Furnace? Arwin: I don’t know Blood Furnace? Mark: Blood Furnace right, yeah. Arwin: Use that buff and it will increase your reputation and experience game. Mark: Make it a little smoother for you. Arwin: Always a good thing, grind it on up from 56 to 62. Mark: Cool so let’s stop killing trash and start killing bosses. Arwin: That is right the next thing we are going to talk about is the first boss in the instance which is The Maker. Mark: The Maker. Arwin: He has quite a bit of trash to him, not as much as the Ramparts but we will take you all through that. Mark: But space it all out.
