We used a shaman with the talent that reduces his shock spells to 5 sec Cd. Me (warrior) our mage and our DK covered interrupts to 50%, (i think we had 2). Then the shaman took over when they were coming every 5 secs, once the he got one interrupted it was a matter of he spammed shock every time it was up and it was easy.

We had a resto shaman spec elemental into some talent (reve something) idk it allows him to spam his interrupt every 5 seconds. Once 50% hits if he times it right he can just hit it blind every gcd and interrupt. We also had the dps warrior and the prot warrior do blind interupts in order at around 10 and 5%.

He cannot be silenced

You dont NEED a shaman to do this, but it certainly helps. The group we did it with took a few days to get it done (killed him a few times just as he got it off ).

We took:

Prot warrior
Combat rogue
Unholy DK
Shadow Priest
Resto druid.

Granted we overgeared the encounter a bit, but it wasnt that big a problem.

Our strat/rotation. Shield bashed the first one at last possible second.
DK used mind freeze to stop second cast. Rogue kicked the third. The 4th never made it.

Druid loaded me up with hots, and started nuking after the second transformation attempt. I blew all defensive cooldowns to make sure she didnt have to stop nuking to heal, switched to zerker stance at 20% and spammed the execute button like my life depended on it.

We had a shaman interrupt 1 and 2, 2nd was around 45%, 3rg was interrupted by everyone who could (i think the mage got it - we had a shaman, a mage and myself that could interrupt), we downed him before the next

myself and a buddy have done this like 9 billion times trying to get everyone in the guild a red drake (i think they took the drake reward out once uldar came out tho...i'm not sure)...this is how we did it...when we did this everyone in the party was over 2500 dps easy...myself (fury warr) and the DK were pushing 4k ez....pretty much the same as everyone else:

DK
Fury warr
one other interrupt class (rogue preferably...this can be the tank too, we like using our pally tank)
the other two don't really matter just dps


1) open up your stopwatch (type /stopwatch)

2) have everyone put it where it's easy to click on the "play" button

3) everyone target the boss

4) on "go" everyone watches the bosses target, once the boss picks up the tank you hit "play" on your stopwatch...

5) above 50% he casts every 10 sec. below 50% he casts every 5...so pay attention to the time on the stopwatch when the first interrupt happens...that's gonna be your base point...

6) give out assignments for your interrupts: one at 10 Sec one at 20 Sec (you want him right above 50%...like 51%...when you interrupt the 2nd cast) one at 25 sec...then another at 30 and 35 just in case (can go longer if your dps isn't as big as ours was)

this is how i would set up the assignments:

10 sec: Fury Warr
20 sec: DK
25 Sec: Fury warr
30 Sec: Rogue
35 Sec: DK
40 Sec: Fury Warr
etc....

7) in a perfect world you would hit the interrupt exactly when "your second" ticks on the stopwatch...but we all know lag/latency etc plays a part in it so you may have to adjust a second or two...don't even pay attention to his cast bar after the first cast, all you should see is "interrupted"

8) save CD's till 50% and blow 'em...lust at 50% too if you have it...

Red drakes are still in. Just the plauged/black ones from the raiding achieves are gone.

gotcha...damn i only had a few achievments left before i got the plagued one...<<<lazyyyyyy

[Junkyard]

Source: Omok His casts actually come every five seconds once he finishes the first cast. The casting time of each one is based on his health at the time. Also, casting time debuffs do not affect him at all.

^this
We had an ele shammy doing this since thier cd is 5 seconds once you get it timed right they chain interupts, and he is dead with the achievement without any gimmicks. This was one of the harder 5 man achieves to pick up.

[Dulios]

Source: Elyvern Just got this achievement last weekend and it's still expoitable. Had a hunter kite him up to the entrance and then FD. The boss will transform into a mammoth once and stay that way. While the boss is coming down, make sure no one is in combat, and I taunted him and we killed him off to get the achievement.

Hey i was just wondering if this strategy still works?
Cos i know there was a few other buggy methods for other achievements but blizzard fixed most of emm..

[phaze]

Partial resetting of the boss has been fixed for a while. He just despawns now, rather than running back.

[Rafus]

a good way to interrupt <30% casts is a rogue spamming talented fok. just make sure he saves his adrenaline rush for the final phase so that he can spam it. just remember his cast is on a 5sec cd once he is <50% so count in your head and once you reach "4", spam fok and it should do the job.

[Pyrea]

you cannot let him attempt to cast under 30% health, you cannot react fast enough to stop him, and when he gets below 50k health you cannot wipe the try quick enough to reset him. when I got this achievement I think there was about 0.1 seconds before he would have instant transformed when he died. 30%-0 basically needs to happen in 4 seconds.

[Schwegburt]

Managed to do this a while ago so I figured I'd say one observation from having to go through this miserable experience.

He can sometimes be extremely random w/ his cast intervals. When we killed him we had a good 15 sec where he never casted his Transformation. Complete luck I know but still, better than duffing it and waiting another day.

[Survey_Says]

The most important thing I learned when trying to do this achievement is if you can kill him in under 16 secs there will be no 2nd cast. First cast will come at 10 secs and the 2nd at approximately 16 assuming it takes about 1 second to interrupt the 1st cast.

If you get an earthquake it is important that everyone knows to stop DPS and reset.

We did 5 DPS (Ret pally, DK, Rogue, Ele Shaman, Enh Shaman). Popped bloodlust, drank haste pots, used flasks + fish feast, used all cooldowns, etc. and we one shot it. We were all in 10man raid + badge gear.

[Function]

I question the strictness him transforming every 5 seconds below 50%. When I got the achievement, he had 3 cast attempts. The second one was done just after he did his stomp, and I nailed him with Counterspell. His health was around 43%. His next cast attempt was made when he was around 1%.

Blood DK + Army of the Dead, 2 Hunters, Mage, and Warlock.
First Cast: DK
Second Cast: Mage
Third Cast: N/A

In every attempt for this achievement that I experienced, a party with a legitimate healer and tank has resulted in fails. Once he get gets under 50%, and 2 interrupts are made, I found it ideal to avoid the third one from being cast by killing him.

[Risky]

We killed him before he did the 2nd cast.

Prot Warr, Ele Shm, Rog, Dk, Dk
