Just two things that might be worth trying:

- For eagle gauntlet last night we did the OT up front, MT at back. My (MT) pally healer consecrated each time the birds appeared - this worked very well but does require a very-able pally healer - as this adds consecrating, healing themselves as well as healing the MT onto their list of things to do. Good communication between the MT and this same healer - solved many of my problems with getting stunned and therefore not picking up the new adds. I swopped into some block gear with the sporegar shield and a fast throwing weapon which helped a lot.

- For the boss a nice point of reference is to tank him in the center of the square and then have ranged/healers on the edge of square, we collapsed in on the tank (mostly). One lock was SoC'ing the birds with a fury warrior sweeping striking them worked well.

Source: Rak I'm not sure about the Eagle boss's electrical storm being random. When we kill him, we have everyone collapse onto the tank about 5 seconds before he casts the storm. When someone screws up and doesn't get close in time, the storm has always been cast on that person. So maybe it's cast on the person farthest from the boss?

I'm gonna have to agree with this, I kept an eye out and it was always the farthest from the boss.

I also had the impression that the storm is cast in the farthest character.

[Ciderhelm]

Everyone has that impression. That's why the Akil'zon post says that's what happens.

Wonderful guide.

I'm taking my guild in for an attempt tonight. We have Kara on farm but only recently. I'm sorta hoping this wil be a wake up for the people who are grumbling that Kara is a waste of time even though they haven't finished gearing up from it.

Just been reading the Lynx boss and I'm a bit confused. What I understand is that at 75% he spawns the spirit which must be ot'ed and while the spirit is up he doesn't saber lash, so as long as the ot brings the lynx back slowly all should be ok (?).

Now is when I get confused, if you dps the spirit I assume when it gets to low hp it despawns and then you dps boss again until it's at 50% and rinse and repeat. What if you just dps the boss - does that mean you only have one phase 2 or ?

[Bhalor]

Each time Halazzi enters phase 2 he is brought back to full health. Whenever phase 2 ends - either by bringing the lynx spirit or the troll close to 0% - the spirit despawns and Halazzi's health is brought back to 75% after first phase 2, 50% after second phase 2, and 25% after last phase 2, so you have the same amount of phases regardless of the tactics.

Our group prefered to damage the boss, so our lazy DDs didn't have to switch targets and the OT (feral druid in our case) could still damage the boss while just causing enough aggro on the spirit to stay above the healers.

In our first try ever on the PTR we damaged the lynx, but somehow we felt that the troll could be burned down faster.

I think it will be. I think it has been a wake up call to a bunch in my guild who thought we would be able to plow through it with whatever group makeup we could put together. We didn't have issues in Kara with mixing group makeup that much but ZA seems more unforgiving.

Thanks Bhalor that makes more sense. Last question - we're likely to run with druid and warrior tank combination. Originally I was going to put me (warrior) on lynx, but having been reminded he can't crush I'm leaning towards putting druid on the lynx. Also this will free me up a bit to apply demo shout, tclap and commanding shout more easily - not sure if we will have a dps warrior with us.

Any major advantage to having which tank on the boss or the add?

Me too, seems this strategy will give our healers an easier time.
