Kommentar von Shadowbathed

The first boss in the new Dragon Soul raid. So far on the PTR normal mode seems pretty simple... but heroic mode seems like its going to be a challenge with the whole splitting thing.
Edit: Why the Downrate? I stated that Heroic could be more of a challenge and not a faceroll like Shannox in Firelands.

After a few kills in the Raid finder this boss is pretty easy if you can get your group to follow the basics of the fight. To make the fight easier Raid leader should make 2 macros also one that does a raid warning for orbs and other for people to get behind the rocks. Last you will want to set up a group of 7 people (3 on 10 man)to stack on the orbs.

For the whole fight tanks will get Rüstung zerschmettern and should taunt at 5 stacks then every time it falls off.

Phase One

For make sure to have everyone within 25 yards of the boss unless they are dealing with the orbs. Most of the healers we had felt it was best to put a mark on someones head and stack on them. Also make sure the tanks are closest to the boss.

When the boss cast Resonierender Kristall an orb will swap and will have link lines going to the closest 7 people(3 if doing on 10 man). The color of the link tells you how much damage it will do, Red will kill the person, yellow will do a large amount and blue is easy to survive. Currently there is no warning telling that they spawn so Raid leader will want to use a raid warning to let people know.

Phase Two

Boss will suck everyone under him and cast Schwarzes Blut der Erde. Rocks will shoot up out of the ground around the boss and black ooze will spread all around him. Standing behind the rocks will let you avoid any damage.

Fight will repeat like this till 20% when the boss gains Rasend which will make the boss hit harder but can easily heal through.

From the many test I did in Raid Finder biggest problems that happened were

No one going to the orb and a tank getting linked. this normally killed the tank which is the reason for having a set team to go to the orbs.
People standing at the side of the rocks instead of behind. When this happens it people would die from Schwarzes Blut der Erde.
People spreading out to far and not taking stomp damage.
When boss was low on health ignoring any of the above and dying.

As i said at the start this fight is pretty simple and should be no problem for most groups as long as you can keep people doing their job.

Strat:
#Stack up behind the boss to soak up Stump easily
#3-6 ranged dps/heals asigned to the cristals regardless of whom gets targeted by it they go on it asap
#Everyone targeted by Resonating Crystal (a yellow ray) has to go to the cristal asap
#When the black blood of the earth cristals pop go hide behind them but do NOT touch them.
Note: very careful positioning can allow some ranged dps to continue hitting the boss while "behind" the cristals
#keep hero/lust for the last 20%. Tank(s) should keep at least one decent CD too.

Two tanks: swap tanks once one reach 2-3 crush armor stacks.
Note: One tankable. There's a total of 4 to 5 crush armor debuffs cast between two black blood of the earth which then allows the armor debuff to fall off.

Overall this boss makes Halfus and Shannox seem like highly technical fights.

Kommentar von Anck

Killed on live, 10 man normal mode today, November 30th. Logs indicate the crystals change targets to whichever three players are closest to it. To me, this does not make sense. It makes the encounter considerably easier because you do not need to rely on individual raiders' awareness and reaction to being targeted. Instead you can simply assign three players to sit on every crystal, and ignore the beams completely. They might as well not be there. Is this working as intended?

Kommentar von 248903

Morchok does have an enrage timer, though it's very long for the content level. He enrages around 7 mins 27 seconds (by the DBM timer) and will subsequently one-shot everyone in the party.

Kommentar von Yokozuna

My guild killed Heroic Morchok on 25 man on 12/6/11. The strategy we used:

We split the raid into 2 groups, one group taking the twin at 90% and other group taking Morchok. We split them apart to the left and right of the path, having cleared the adds in that area before pulling. We took Morchok/twin about 5-10 yards into the snow on either side of the path. Morchok group took the first crystal that spawns right as they split at 90% while the other group took the twin away. We had a rogue on each side taking the stomp with the tank, using feint for it. Of course they had to make sure they were closest to the boss at all times. After a crystal spawned on either side, we made sure that noone moved to it until after the next stomp. If you move to it right away, stomp will kill people. Everyone made sure to stay in range of the stomp on their side, ranged and healers too. A designated 7 players on each side were selected to absord the crystal, obviously the rogue and tank were not included. After a crystal spawned and you waited for the next stomp, melee had just barely enough time to reach the crystal before it exploded. For black blood phases the boss is bound to move as the tank had to run out as well behind pillars, so the tank had to drag it back to its original position after each black blood phase. The pillars are not a necessity to hide behind for black blood, you only need to stand where there is no black blood on the ground, which sometimes happened to be in random areas not behind a pillar. Make sure that anyone with personal mitigations are using them for stomps and/or crystal explosions if they are absorbing one. If under 15% and one side's tank dies, the rest of the players (if tank cannot be battle rezzed) will need to spread way out and force the boss to run far to them, and kill only 1 player with each stomp at a time. This gives the other side on the twin time to try and burn down the boss before the boss's twin kills everyone on the other side and comes across the path to kill the rest.

For Death Knights working on this boss on heroic: You can stay in and DPS during Black Blood of the Earth. Allow the debuff to reach 3 stacks, then AMS. With AMS up you will take about 4K/sec damage until the debuff stacks fall off, then will take no damage until AMS drops off, then will reach 3-4 stacks again before it ends. Total damage taken will be about 80K, but well worth it for the ~300-400K damage you can do to the boss during this time while other melee are stuck doing nothing behind the pillars.

Note: Black Blood of the Earth does not have a range limit. Therefore, since both Morchok and Kohcrom are casting it, you need to LOS the other boss you are not DPSing when doing this otherwise you'll rapidly accumulate many stacks and still die.

ed: Whoever downrated this is a tool.

Kommentar von mihalidis

I'm surprised that no-one mentioned this yet, but is read backwards.

EDIT: i mistakenly thought it was a palindrome, but i was informed that that was not correct - its a palindrome if the same word can be read both ways and still be the same.

Reminds me of Loatheb Loatheb (the odd healer fight in Wotlk-Naxx) which is a anagram for "Healbot"

Kommentar von pthor1234

Ranged DPS (and even melee who have ranged abilities like a DK) can still dps during the Black blood of the earth by getting behind a grouping of 2 or more pillars. If you position yourself in the middle of the two pillars, you will have LoS of Morchok.

Kommentar von Ignazio

One of the easiest 10man Heroic - Dragon Soul - Boss.

Tip for Heroic Mode:

*May wanna try with 4 healers. (~~2 to 4 healers, depending on strategy)~~
(two independent groups of 1 tank 2 dps 2 healers and split them, far away from each other)
Considering about 15k dps for each tank, you should have about 22k +- per player with 4 dps, to beat the enrage.

On one side, use a rogue with Feint for the stomp. Its considered an AoE to help the tank get the 2x Damage Stomp.
Be carefull with the tanks, specially after the stomp.

ps: the stomp is physicall dmg and the Crystal, shadow dmg.
_________

Did it with three healers too.
Group 1: 1 tank, 1 healer , 3 dps
Group 2: 1 tank, 2 healers 2 dps. One of these healers must have the other Group1-dps on range... without getting near that stomp.

Strategy Image

An important tip for healers is that mor & kor stomp have 25 yard range... and most spells have 40y.
Also, remember to get between both groups for the BL, or one of them may not get it.

Kommentar von Euphemia

Most should have this guy on farm by now - he is by far the easiest boss in Dragon Soul, and seems easier than Lord Marrowgar was as the entry boss to Icecrown Citadel. Only a few basic abilities that your raiders need to keep track of:

Be closer than 25 yrds to help soak damage from the Stomp
Either the beamed people go to the Resonating Crystals immediately, or you have assigned people deal with this. Whatever works best for your team.
Tanks taunt on 3-4 stacks of Crush Armor, or go 1 tank only.
Hide behind the rock shards when they pop up, to not take damage from Black Bloods of the Earth.

So, in general, setup for normal mode (gear/skill-dependant):
1/2 tanks
2/3 healers
Rest DPS

Pewpew & Loot.

Here's Flaskaholics killing him.

//EDIT:
Here's an explanation of our Heroic Mode kill on this guy.

Kommentar von rilgania

Yet another 10m heroic guide... :)

This is a quick cover of how my raid did the first kill and thought to give a few inputs for those looking for advice. It is by no means supposed to be the "best" way to do it, it merely was the best solution for OUR raid!

Setup
- 2 Tanks (druid, warrior)
- 4 Healers (druid, shaman, 2 priests)
- 4 DDs (2 hunter, mage, rogue)

Normal Phase
This boss is fairly simple. Split in two even groups and tank the bosses ~60-80y apart. Assign a DD or healer to soak the Stomp along the tank; we did it with hunter and rogue and their -20% damage buffs. There are several other possibilities like shadow priest, holy pally, plate DD, whatnot. You could do it with less than 4 healers, but really, that's not necessary. The bosses have little HP and a very forgiving enrage timer (do they have any at all?).
The remaining three people should take the resonating crystal. Move closely until the debuff is blue. The tank can follow, making sure the crystal group is 10-15y away.

Black Blood Phase
The groups can meet in the middle, usually on the path that leads to the tower. Ranged DDs should keep DPSing the boss by finding a good spot while healers can exchange buffs like innervate. Towards the end, try to retake the initial position you had at the beginning of the fight.

Enjoy the easy loot! :)

The most powerful elemental still under Deathwing's sway, Morchok -- once a passive guardian -- is now convinced that his only respite will come with Azeroth's demise. Morchok rages against the foundation of Wyrmrest Temple, Azeroth's last beacon of hope in the Hour of Twilight.

Kommentar von Sergijus

You CAN start Heroic encounter even if not all people from your group completed Der Tod des Zerstörers. Only 4 in our group had it when we did it first time, also Raid Leader didnt complete it.

Kommentar von Alash

A gnarled tree-like dude throwing rocks at a tower while murmuring random gibberish in a slow, deep voice.

This is definitely new.

Kommentar von Fylwind

Stomp, despite the apparent hotfix, will still cause double damage to the player closest to the tank, not the center of Morchok/Kohcrom's hitbox. The double-damage is high enough to one-shot any non-tank without at least a minor cooldown during the sub-20% phase.

Also, on heroic mode, take note which boss spawns the Resonating Crystal (there is a purple projectile animation shooting out of the boss that casts it) and make sure the corresponding raid group soaks that crystal.

Soaking a wrong crystal (dropped by the other boss) usually causes the Stomp and crystal-detonation to line up, causing a potential wipe. If you soak the right crystal, then there is always a ample time between the crystal-detonation and Stomp allowing players to move to the appropriate location.

Kommentar von Hanz0

As a rogue u can just stay and dps through the Black Blood of Earth. Just use 5cp recup right before black blood then feint at 3 stacks then cloak when u get to around 35% hp. Black blood will end with u at around 10-15% hp left with 0 incomming heals from your healers.

Personally I got a discpriest shielding me and i end up at 50% hp after black blood ends. I`ll add that i`m combat not subtlety therefore as subtlety you`ll end up at even higher hp because of the improved feint.

Kommentar von JASP01

Heroic Mode: Aww, kohc!

Kommentar von unr34l

pretty easy boss, almost tank n' spank, no high dps req, most raiding guilds will need to have this boss down if they ever want to take part in ''the hour of twilight'' and want to see death wing down in other things that lfr. only thing to worry about is the black blood of the earth when boss is on low hp players try to stay in to get the kill. but the boss will not die only go to 1% hp and it will first die when the cast is over. so dont stay in the black slim on the ground and get your kill fast before MoP.

Kommentar von 967962

We were doing Glory achievement on heroic yesteday and we came up with quite interesting find too. It was a near-wipe, what's interesting is that only Morchok need to be killed in order to tag the boss as killed. We got our achievement and kill, despite Kochrom still having around 400k HP. He wiped the rest of living members, yet we still got our achi and loot :P Despawned after it.

Kommentar von Thestool

If you are doing heroic and if you are a destruction warlock, you can put Omen der Verwüstung on whichever boss you aren't on at the beginning.

Edit:For MoP reference Omen der Verwüstung used to be "Bane of Havoc" - Banes the target for 5 min, causing 15% of all damage done by the Warlock to other targets to also be dealt to the baned target.
