I’ve recently started collecting mog from wod, and I thought that Killrogg’s mythic staff drop would look pretty well with Black Rock Foundry’s mythic warlock set, however, the hellfire assault boss is extremely hard to solo since once one cannon dies you lose, and as a warlock you don’t really have that much mobility to keep both safe.
I think it’d be nice if you could complete it with one cannon alive or maybe their hp scaled to your level. It doesn’t really annoy me missing out on that one staff specifically, but other players who want to farm the raid’s mogs are going to have a hard time too if it isn’t tweaked.
The point was doing it solo though, and even with burning rush, demonic circle and gateway I get short of saving the cannon. I guess I’ll try asking someone to help, but the raid came two expansions ago, I don’t see what’s wrong in making it easier to farm legacy raid mogs.
You are gonna hate me for saying this. But they already changed it and quite some time ago as well. The cannons used to die within few seconds of mobs/vehicles getting to them. Now I can just let something wail at the cannons for a solid 10 seconds and they have barely lost 20% of their hp.
It’s already easily soloable. Just kill one side, use the ammunition to get to the other side faster. And repeat. And repeat. Did it on a Paladin, as Warlock it should not be a problem at all.
Well 1st boss is soloable but you have to run left and right like a headless chicken in panic.
The most funny part is, you will bring a friend to help along the first boss but gorefiend is soloable and NOT doable by 2 people since he pulls both on his belly and resets.
Its do-able, but very hard for some classes, especially caster classes. The examples you gaved above (the classes with wich you can solo easy) are all classes with almost in-existent cast time (all have a lot of instant skills).
On the other hand, caster classes with cast time skills, like shamans, have difficulties to solo the first boss. I tried several times and gaved up. Untill i cast one chain lightning it takes 1,6 sec. In that time thoose mobs hit the cannon and take 5% hp. And repeating this several times, multiplied with the war machines…its nearly impossible. Even though i one-shot the mobs, still isnt enough.
I dont say its impossible for casters, i say is nearly impossible or very,very hard.
Alright, I managed to complete it by changing to affliction (because instant casts that aggro mobs for the voidwalker to clean up and deal a lot of damage) and moving around non stop. It’s doable, but still pretty hard and annoying for a raid that’s legacy.
Shaman can go enhancement. Warlock has pet and can cover both sides at once. Mage has double blink, instant spells. You can do it with every single class easily.
Are you some sort of smart### that finds solutions for everything? If yes, why didnt you mentioned any caster class in this quote:
Instead of using 2 paladins, you could use one of your caster class alt ( i presume you have at least one).
Please dont come and contradict us, who already tested and experienced it. As i said above, its very hard, but do-able if you have pacience and will. But in any case, is not :
I am sure that you already tested and when you realised how hard it is, you changed the class.
I am what they call, mount farmer. I didnt mention any caster class because those 5 are my only 120 lvl chars. I used to farm with casters before BFA squish.
Ok, just for you i went with my lock, it was harder cuz its 110 lvl and siege vehicles don’t die quickly, but still doable. Would be walk in a park with 120.
Tbh I have a easier time as elemental while doing it on my shaman, since all that’s needed are a frostshock and most mobs in every pack rush straight for me. Not to mention that chain lightning picks up those splitted packs easier.
But well had to do it today just to try it again so I didn’t remember it poorly. Been a bit occupied with Insane title farming since guilds been on a smal break.
Sure we speak about mythic version? Maby normal or HC is easier, but mythic is harder.
And again, i said harder, not impossible. But in any case is not “walk in the park” .
Edit: i cant see on the phone the screenshots. When i get home, i watch on PC.
Edit2: Ok saw the screens. Gz. You prooved your point with warlock, because of pet.
I tried with my shamy and failed 4 times. I ddnt cared too much , so i didnt focus to try harder. I didnt used the frost-shock “tactic” . I used chain+ shock+lighting(during storm). I was one-shoting mobs, but they still managed to kill the cannons.
I will try the frost shock strategy.
But anyway, i consider the first boss still hard to do it solo with a elemental. I also saw that other caster classes complain about the first boss. So its not only my issue, its a general issue among casters.
