    Killed with 18 today morning (Remedy, TN. Gear: t1/t2 epics). It is easy, if you know what to do. Only one died on 50%, probably because got disconnected. But yes, random 40 men raid may wipe on this boss very fast, if ppl don't know tactic. Skill and experience > gear.

    Gear: MT must have good NR (>250 unbuffed), shammi and hunter in group for NR buffs. NR gear for melee helps as well, but not necessary.

    Sleep: Spread casters to avoid mass sleep. Melee may spread either (check yourself, how far you may stay from dragon body and still hit him). And don't stay near his tail, you'll be kicked out.

    Stay alive: Yes, stay alive, don't die in any case. Use potions if necessary, don't wait for heal if there is a chance you may die. If you still prefer to be a mushroom, go away from the raid and die there. Someone may ping minimap to show others where is new mushroom appeared. Everyone should be prepared to move away from mushrooms. If necessary, move Emeriss, just be sure whole raid will not get breath. Check that everyone have ~3-5 [Major Healing Potion] before encounter.

    If MT has vicious dot for a long time, be sure you don't overaggro, you may even stop dps at all and wait when debuff will go off. If tank has not enough NR, probably you may use 2 MTs (we are using 1). Desease should be cured asap, person, who got it, should start to move away from other ppl, don't expect it will be cured. NR helps resist desease.

      Technically, you guys were Skill/Tactics = Gear
      since 250 Nature resist is a lot of NR so the 18 that were in that raid are EASILY set for AQ and you were all epic'd out. Just a quick question but did your main tank have TF?  but anyway great job, I've seen many 40-man raids wipe in less than 2 mins....lol especially when i make them wipe(opposite faction of course, I would never make my own raid group wipe)....btw whats your guild called again? and what server? cause that is really cool....first time I've ever heard of that happening with less than 25 people (and to whoever i called stupid about the 15 man, I appologize, I've just never seen it done before and i thought you were exaggerating)

        Realm: Twisting Nether
        Guild: Remedy (merged Heartless and Vendetta)

        Dont remember who tanked it. One warrior in that raid have TF, but i think MT was another one, with better NR gear.

        Group setup was:

        Rogue 4 (21%)
        Hunter 3 (16%)
        Priest 4 (21%)
        Druid 1 (5%)
        Shaman 1 (5%)
        Warlock 1 (5%)
        Mage 1 (5%)
        Warrior 4 (21%)

        19 in raid, one of them, probably warlock, was offline.

        P.S. On our realm some top guilds have agreement and do not attack each other before dragon down.

          The guild that I am in consistantly does this dragon with between 15 and 20 people in the raid.  Our tanks is geared to the teeth with the best NR plate we can find. 

          Most of the damage that the tank takes is from those dots stacking to hell and back.  With 300 buffed Nr (prolly more but thats not the point) we get a maximum of 2 or very rarely 3 of those dots on him. 

          From a priest's point of view I thihnk this boss is easier with fewer people (25 is prolly my favorite) because there are less people to heal, and while it takes longer, people tend to focus more in small groups, and there is just all in all fewer people to make those damn mushrooms. 

          oh yeah, and horde interfearance = the dragon does not die at all.

            Agree, 25 ppl is the best for it. Easier to heal, easier to dps, all ppl focused. Epic geared full raid reach 75/50/25% too fast, and sometimes it is deadly for the raid, because ppl not prepared, dps have no time to move out.
