Kaz'rogal Down
This week is Mount Hyjal Week in our guild, Unorthodox. We are dedicating ourselves to getting to and killing Archimonde. After the reset yesterday morning we marched in there last night and took down Rage, Anetheron, and then finally Kaz'rogal.
We had a clean one-shot on Rage, followed by a wipe in Anetheron then a kill and then off to the horde camp. We saw Kaz on Monday as well, but I was tanking in Finn so I didn't get to experience the unique boss fight from a mana-user's perspective. Tonight I did get to face him on Stoney.
If you haven't faced Kaz, here's his gimmick: Mark of Kaz'rogal. It drains 3000 mana and then if you dont have any mana to drain, it turns you into a bomb. I must admit I was a bit off my game last night and I wasn't prepared for the fight. However, here are the tactics I did use:
1) Only dropped 2 totems: WF for my all-melee group and Mana Spring (duh)
2) Stopped shocking, need to conserve mana
3) Kept up Water Shield - his War Stomp procs 1 consumption so thankfully I was eating those water globules quickly.
4) And of course Shamanistic Rage and Mana Pots.
I still ran out of mana with about 15% health left on him so I think I could have played my cards better. My strategy was to wait until my mana pool was about 50-60% then pop Sham Rage. That turned out to be too late. At that point I was marked again and was losing mana faster than I could gain it. In the end I was too low on mana to risk being in melee range so I ran out and away from everyone, then my Sham Rage CD was done but I couldn't get back in melee range in time so I just had to sit outside away from everyone and blow up.
Next time I will pop Sham Rage earlier in the fight, maybe around 75% and as I'm marked. Then I will pot at my first opportunity. Hopefully between totem and Water shield I will be able to keep up for 2 more minutes, then drop Heroism when the Sham Rage CD is up again.
Either way, we're on our way to Azgalor who drops the Bow Stitched Leggings and the token for the T6 gloves! I'll probably let someone else get the gloves, but I want those legs!
