Gothik or Faerlina?

Fury · 08/14/06, 9:46 PM

So what would be easier of the two to attempt after killing Anub/Razu?

Edgewalker · 08/14/06, 9:49 PM

Noth, then Faerlinna/Maexxena. Even if by the grace of god you managed to kill Gothik before the previously mentioned, you would be left with a near impossible final wing boss instead of a trivial one.

Faerlina, Gothik is one of the most difficult encounters in the zone.

Nothing more to see here. Plus you already have all the gear for Faerlina - you got it in MC!

Faerlina is easy with decent epic FR gear and people who can mash cleanse. Make sure to bring at least 15 healers though.

Razu
Anub
Noth
GWF (Bring Greater Fire Protection Potions)

Our guild killed Patchwerk and then Grobbulus first. I think they're easier then the learning we're going through on Heigan. It's fun raiding with white people who can't dance!

thanks =) and sorry if it was a dumb question (which it was), our original roadmap was Razu->Anub->noth->spiderwing->patchwerk etc but someone fed me some bad info. let this thread die >.<

He also has the worst loot in the zone.

Gothik "ive got frost res and crap bracers" the Harvestor or Grand Widow "TF comparable tanking sword" Faerlina.

And yes, anything above this are valid reasons.

Whilst we're on the topic of Naxx difficulty... Is AQ40 gear percieved to be highly recommended for starting in Naxx? My guild is currently farming BWL, although having somewhat difficulty with downing Nef again due to the summer time, when we get a stable amount of players back online we're hoping to tackle some bosses in Naxx and skipping AQ40 altogether, seeing as the gear to be gained in AQ40 is somewhat trivial and less PvE orientated compared to the gear from Naxx.

Razuvious and Anub are far from gear checks.

raz doesn't require anything special except +spell hit on your priests (zg craftable stes)
anub is a fight that could go on forever (which it is most likely to do if he evades at any stage :P) and it pretty simple if everyone focuses

aq40 is 100% worth it.

37 out of 40 people in my current raid are wearing AQ40 gear, at least 1-6 pieces. So yes, it's worth it.

Vetinari · 08/15/06, 5:37 AM

Hell yeah its worth it. My warlock is currently wearing 11 AQ40 pieces, 2 Naxx pieces, 1 MC trinket (no prizes for guessing which one), and 1 BWL trinket.

And 1 green wand. Lunar wand of Shadow Wrath, how I love thee.

While there are (relatively speaking) much fewer healing/tanking upgrades, there is an enormous amount of dps upgrades, for every class, in there.

Besides, you are going to have to cast out the retard net one way or another.

And if you have too much trouble with C'thun/TE, you can go and kill a few of the easier Naxx bosses, for a bit of morale building.
