Necrotic wake

Why is this dungeon so freaking hard to time? It seems like it relies on weapons TOO MUCH and in most cases ppl dont even know about weapons or dont even know where to use them, had a situation where a warrior used spear on trash pack during tyrannical… I mean come on, and you better have ppl interrupting and there is for SURE A SHIIT TON OF STUFF to interrupt. You better have spear for that 3rd boss to one phase it and that whole room takes so long and often dps is in “ZUG ZUG MODE” and they act like its bolstering week so they make sure every single mob is under 20-30% and THEN they kill it…
Also that kyrian buff… can you summon that steward while in combat?
And last boss … omg
Id like to hear your experiences and tips with this dungeon tnx.

This is one of the more challenging dungeons imo, although short, it puts pressure on the group to perform properly on both trash and bosses.

Two things I particularly think should be addressed by Blizzard in NW:

  • frost mage AOE legendary (Glacial Fragments) does not work on the platform. It’s an obvious bug, it probably has something to do with elevation because some other stuff doesn’t work properly as well (like Shimmer).
  • 2nd boss is way overtuned on Tyrannical weeks. It’s a pug killer at the moment, the encounter gets unnecessary hard with that affix. It should be reviewed by designers definitely.

Other than that I enjoy the dungeon, doesn’t feel nearly as bad to me like DOS or Plaguefall are.

It’s my least favourite, but I don’t hate it. I call my steward on the last pack before the boss, but does it do any good pointing at the balls and asking people to pick one up? No.

Best actual tips is communicate before the key is dropped, mention weapons etc, mark where they are as you go (anyone can drop raid markers). Pick a route you like, try to stick with it, if bad stuff happens don’t be afraid to modify as you go, but don’t stress about it. If you spend more time arguing than killing then time runs down. Learn the shortcuts, lead by example if necessary.

My best non-tip tip, as with any dungeon, is let the mage pull. It gives me someone to [mentally] shout at and allows me to relax when I’m tanking.

If only you could communicate in groups like you rant here.

“Hey guys, we have a lot of spears and hammers available, what should we use them on!”?

It was fixed a bit when they made his enrage buff go away after 30 seconds. Still a tough fight on Tyrannical weeks I agree

How do you know I dont??? Also If I need to tell you about your kyrian stuff, about weapons on 12 then idk

Well you said people don’t know where they are or how to use them. If you’d communicated, they’d know, right?

I feel like that enrage was the least issue there.

What’s an enrage, Precious?

They need to come prepared for a freaking key my dude and I do tell them which wastes couple of seconds but still , even told that warrior to save spear and he still ends up using it on trash pack… Just cant remember that scene

Never use a weapon on a boss immo always on thrash and maybe 1 spear on 1 boss, the weapons are great on thrash packs, the biggest mistakes people make is some skills needs to be interrupted its mandatory like the drain fluid/necrotic bolt/at 2 nd boss the frostbolt volley from the mages, bosses on tyrannical is just following the same mechanic then without tyrannical but when there is tyrannical then you rlly see that there are still people that dont know what to do.
