hey guys, one strat to do this guy, not sure if its on the site, is to take him to the left or right and MT him between the 2 scrap piles. what this does is force the adds to have to come from the other side of the room and is so much easier to control them and dps them down. Just something my guild uses and works very well. Cider, feel free to try it out and put a strat on your page =P
Umm, what about all the adds that come from the side of the room the boss is on? Seems like the scrap bots would practically be on top of the boss when they spawn, unless I'm missing something about your strategy.Quote:

My guild does the same.
I can confirm the fact that if you tank him on the right (or probably the left side too) side of the room when you walk in, between the two scrap piles, you will only get adds from the piles in the far side of the room. This has both been tested in more than once both in 10 and 25-man, and we never got adds except from those two far-side corners. This positioning makes controlling the adds really easy and you can spend a whole lot more time on nuking the heart before you need to switch to clearing the bomb- and scrapbots.Quote:

We did this tonight. Gravity Bombs create void zones and Light bombs create sparks which need to be killed. We got him down in 4 attempts. He isn't bad.Quote:

Have run both 10 and 25 that way 3 or 4 times, and have yet to see an add from the 2 piles we are in between. Also makes it easier to line up the raid in a straight line behind him, gravity bombs run out of the line right, the other bomb runs out left. Easy peasy.
This is indd the easiest way to do it.Quote:

Still puging most as i just made a guild to progress more in ulduar.
Still killed 6 bosses with pug and almost the 7th, wich aint bad.
Ulduar is getting easier if you have all people naxx 25/EoE25 geared. it will be smoot and a fun raid to do :)
This wasn't always true.Quote:

Right now though, it's very easy, on par with or even easier than Thorim and Hodir hard modes.
Has anyone noticed that with the patch they fixed this fight so that you can't tank XT to the side to only get 2 piles of adds?
If also seems like there are a ton more bombs as well, and it really caught us off guard. Took like 5 attempts to reajust our strategy.
Don't get your raid adjusted to cheesing a boss, simple as that. That was an obvious bug and really should not have been used by any one.
I wasn't sure that was unintended functionality. I was just surprised they listed all these changes for Yogg, but there was no mention of this change. It'll sure make burning the heart to start hard mode tougher since all the ranged are dealing with what seems like 4 times the bombs.Quote:

Hi Guys
we are goign back in again tonight on 10 man after a few week break. Is he still bugged ?? do a shit load of adds still come.
The last time we did it, we ended up tanking him in the middle, as the left and right tank between the piles didnt stop adds from coming out of the nearest scrap piles.
DD
the adds seem to be fixed DD but you do need to tank him somewhere safer now cuz you can't bug out the piles like before.
I'm not sure why you think this was "an obvious bug" and "cheesing" the boss. The fact that adds don't come from a pile that the boss happens to be near means there is a proximity check that someone had to code. The only "bug" was apparently that the proximity check was checking for too large a distance and so you could shut down two scrap heaps, however we cannot know that is a bug until Blizzard changes it.Quote:
