Q u o t e:


Oddly enough that's my favorite part of the instance.You don't need a strong healer at all for this fight, it isn't healing intense at all. If people aren't complete idiots, I dps most of the time in this fight on my healers. Need to heal time bomb up, and the tiny amount of damage as people run out of frostbomb, but this fight requires far less healing than almost any other fight in oc.

If you think it requires a strong healer, you're probably pretty bad, and are standing where you shouldn't be, which is what is making it difficult. However, as much as I enjoy this fight, the last boss is reason enough to not go, since I hate the mechanics of the dragons, they are not fun. Especially the green drake, feels too much like a warlock.





Yeah...no.

Move too fast, you over shoot your pillars and either take many thousands of damage hugging a frosted pillar, move too slow and you won't reach it in time. Tank doesn't have the luxury of "not being in the frosty" either. He chain casts pretty much non-stop. Have a melee heavy group and you might as well just forget about it. You'll spend the next 30 minutes "watching" the fight as the tank does 90% of the damage.

And yeah sure you don't need a healer. By the way, the 12k frost bombs once the frost debuff reaches a full stack, and the 3k/second ticks as you're trying to walk out, or the 8k normal melee strikes would like to have a word with you.

You're living in a dream world where your healer has left you completely oblivious to just how bad this fight can be. Congrats on only proving my point. Having a really really strong healer is the only thing that makes this fight easy.

Q u o t e:

Vehicles are lame IMO.

I don't like FL, I don't like jousting, I don't like any of the many vehicle quests, &ct.


I don't mind ground vehicles so much (although, I'd prefer they weren't there), but air vehicles I hate. Malygos I hate a little more than oc, but I hate oc enough to not do it in most cases.

My hatred for malygos has a lot to do with all the bugs, though. Especially the SOR bug that plagued holy priests.

I'm the healer, in all cases. I've never done this as dps or tank, just to be clear. Only as a healer.

This fight is not difficult to heal, at any gear level.

NOT. DIFFICULT. TO. HEAL.

You kite the boss in a circle, the tank takes some damage, dps generally takes minimal damage.

I've healed it as blues, and I've healed it once or twice with decent gear. It's not really any different, it's a situational awareness fight, if you struggle you're bad. The best part of the fight is the retarded people who die while looting the boss when the frost is down. No, i'm not going to heal you through damage you take after the boss is dead.

If you must have an explanation, it is for the hard c sound and noticeability. If you just write OC you want to read it as O-C, which implies an acronym, where there is none. But if you type "occ" you want to read it as "ock", which is the first syllable in Oculus. Of course, you could try just typing "ocu", but that carries an extra syllable over just "occ".

It's not that complicated and really shouldn't be that big of a deal. If it bothers you that much, then just work on your ability to ignore it, because you are going to be confronted with bad/odd spelling your entire life.

Tell me what OC would be an abbrev for, cuz it looks alot like it might be an abbrev for OCULUS!!!!

And supposed healer is what? Paladin? Priest? Shaman? Druid?

You're posting on a warrior that has the main spec of protection telling me how you're the healer and how it's so easy to heal, and I'm saying uh huh sure. I have tanked it, I have healed it (paladin), I've dps'd it. Worst job was healing. Worst possible group comp? All melee. Easiest group? All ranged. This fight swings wildly from nigh unto impossible to a walk in the park based on your group comp and the skill of your healer. That smacks of bad fight mechanics.

OC sounds more like an acronym than an abbreviation is the problem. Name another 2 letter abbreviation in WoW. Most of the 2 letter ones are acronyms.

Are you so stupid you can't read my signature? There's 4 classes there, 2 of them are capable of healing. My guess is it would be one of those two. Specifically, darisarix did it in blues, I don't think mescyn has done it before, but I may very well be mistaken.

It's trivial to heal, even an all-melee group is not particularly difficult, but requires more healing than an all-range group, obviously.

It's not that Oculus is hard, it's just annoying to pug when people don't understand the instance.

Because it takes people outside their comfort zone.
People who fail at Occulous also fail at Malygos. Tru story.




People still run Maly? At least on my server, I haven't seen a run for it in... probably 5 months, since Ulduar came out. You still see LFM for Naxx, OS, Ulduar, ToC, Ony... but Maly's been left in the dust.

I figured that would be the response now. This issue will creep up again after launch though, when people start having new-LFG pug failures from Oculus.

well, lets rule some out instead.

NE = nexus or night elf?
NA= Naxx or Not Applicable
TC= Crusade or Champ?
UT=Keep or Pinnacla?
DE= Deadmines or Disenchant?

I dont think ive ever thought the letter combo OC ever meant anything but oculus. But if ur too dumb to realize this then for your sake we'll call it OCC. Then I'll just let u wipe until u give in to the fact that having a bit of common sense is better than QQing over being "literarilly correct" or whatever ur ped of an english teacher told u as he rubbed your back.

Bornakk called you out.

AND I have healed this place so many times on a paladin and it doesn't matter to me what the group is made up of. I've never lost a melee on that fight yet. Only time people die is if they dont LoS the arcane explosion. Mage lord Urom is cake, and so is the dungeon. It's just that people that are not very well geard or don't like the fights don't go so you usually get a decent group that won't fail.
