last boss of AQ20
Thottbot > Comments > NPCs > Ossirian the Unscarred
Xbow of imminent doom is nice rogue loot, and the sand polished hammer is good too if you are a mace loving wierdo. This post is faded because it has a negative score.
Maybe not ur kinda items but that staff can be pretty useful to a druid. maybe not as useful to a druid as to a mage or warlock but still useful.
not to mention that the mace could also be a warrior mace =)
How hard is he, is he equivalent to say, Majordomo or Ragnaros or Hakkar? This post is faded because it has a negative score.
He is very easy once you know the plan. In the area where he is located there are crystal things on the ground. Basically you have someone riding ahead to find the next crystal and you lead ossirian to it, when he arrives you click the crystal and it debuffs him so that his hits arent as powerful. Just keep leading him to the next crystal while dpsing and dotting him and he will go down after a few minutes. If he hits anyone without the debuff he hits so hard that it will kill some classes in 1 hit.
Also make sure to avoid the tornadoes that blow around his area as they can do a fairly high ammount of damage
Here's a vid demonstrating the strategy. Thanks to the Braq-Mortalis guild:
http://wow.filenuts.com/1307.html Personally I have done the fight, and it is kind of a pain for a caster since you can never sit still for more than a few seconds.
he may be somewhat difficult but he is nothing compared to chromaggus. Chromaggus is easy when you've done em alot, Oss is by the far the most fun and difficult fight above all AQ20/ZG/MC fights but not in comparison with bwl, bwls much more fun/challenging with all bosses
the cool thing about this fight is it has so little to do with your gear. once you get the strategy (which may take 15 wipes), its pretty simple. id say you could do this with greens/blues if you could get this far and everyone knew what they were doing
downing this boss had to be the most memorable experience i've ever had on wow. if you hit a tornadoes or your tank dies your pretty much guaranteed to wipe.
u get a rogue to mount around and navigate the crystals via pings and watch for tornadoes and mages decurse/dps and get all the other classes to do they're jobs. always let tanks gain threat for the first 2 crystals before u nuke. the rest is pure luck.
My guild just downed him tonight on our 3rd attempt. The 2nd atempt the healers couldnt get Mt because of the LoS of the pillars.
-We started the fight by a rogue on his epic pulling ossiran to the 1rst crystal. The rogue cont. to ride on his mount searching for where a crystal spawned. He would then ping it on the minimap. -Ossirian is in a 'god'mode, where he hits like a beast +pulling him to a crystal then opening it takes him out of 'god' mode for 45 sec, he will become vulnerable to 1 class of magic, his resistance is reduced by 100% and dmg taken increased by 100% -There will be 2 MTs, they have to be 1rst and 2nd in threat or you will wipe. One Mt will occasionaly become engulfed in a tornado and lose aggro, then thats when the 2nd MT moves in. The MT will bring Ossirian to the next crytal, healers must be on the MTs ass and moving w/ him. -Move Ossirian before the 45 secs is up and you should be fine. The best part of AQ 20 is the mobs in his room, most fun eva. Just pay attention and all should be good
for some reason, ignite seems to go crazy on this guy when he is vulnerable to fire.
CoE was on him, i scorched 5 times to debuff him to fire, and then i poped combustion and the talisman of ephemeral power and pst'd a priest for power infusion... i fireball crit'd for 6200 and ignite hit for 3700 (which wasnt mathematically correct, since ignite is supposed to be 40% total, and only 20% per tick), then i crit'd with my next fireball for 5700, resetting the ignite timer, and ignite hit for 7200, and i was like WTF???!!!! 7200??!! then ignite hit for the second time for 7200 and ossirian is running at me and i wipe the raid... i thought maybe that another mage had also crit'd to make ignite stack... but then i remembered i was the only mage in the group. so, has anyone else noticed ignite hitting for a much higher percentage than normal on him? 31,000 damage in 2 fireballs because of a screwed up ignite. i calculated that instead of 40% over 4 seconds, it was doing 120% for some reason.
Ossirian drops so much stuff... we got the Staff of Ruins, some purple cloth bracers, 4 skill books, an enchant, the Qiraji spiked hilt, Ossi's head and some other purple armor piece.
That's 10 items from one big dumb bird wannabe. Add Comment
