16 Prot Paladins Vs. Jaina Normal

Recommended Posts

RxUB4XB.jpg
 

Jaina hasn't even been a boss for more than a week yet and the shenanigans kills have already started! Rextroy and as many Protection Paladins as he could find have ventured into Dazar'alor and of the 30 that started the trek, only 16 remained in the end to face down lady Proudmoore. With an average ilevel of 385, they actually took a fair amount of time (15-ish wipes) to take her down/force her to bail.

This fight was a real pain, especially the last phase. Probably took us about 15 wipes or more. We started off as 30 protection paladins, but people left and we ended up with a solid group of 16 people. The more paladins you have, the more your healing will be. But it is also harder to coordinate everyone. We also had an average of 385 ilvl. Fun thing is, this boss doesn't appear to have any real "berserk" or atleast it is a really long timer. We had some attempts that were 22 minutes long.

Tactics: Phase 1 (0:00) This phase is really chill when you get the hang of it. Make sure you use your ballista to quickly get rid of the Kul'tiran boats. And drop your chilling stacks by walking into fire. Also don't forget to throw the bombardments overboard. The NPCs that spawn here isnt an issue for a full tank group, so we pretty much ignored them.

Phase 2 (4:08) At 60% health, you get into phase 2. Make sure you avoid all the frozen orb or you get stunned. And rush to find Jaina. You have to move out of your raid group and drop the arcane bombardments on the munition so the ice shatters. This causes you to be able to kill them for your group. Make sure you stay in the fire that spawns as long as possible to delay the time until you get frozen solid. Also make sure you avoid Glacial Ray at all cost, it truely hurts!

Phase 3 (8:05) At 30% health, you get into phase 3. Save your CDs and hero for this phase, you need to burn down the wall and free Nathanos quickly before the ice reaches you. The water elemental aint too bad, just make sure you avoid standing near allies if you get the Heart of Frost debuff!

Phase 4 (9:25) The last phase is definitely the hardest. You got no good way to get rid of the chilling debuff here, aswell as her images will keep spawning fairly often. Our strat here was to make sure we had Divine Shield ready as a panic button for ourselves, aswell as Spellwarding to delay the application of the Ice Block. Our prio target was Ice Block - Image - Jaina. We stacked up to maximize cleave damage. The most dangerous time was when both Jaina and her prismatic images would use Glacial Ray at the same time and at the location we had a bunch of people stacked up frozen. This would lead to a wipe a fair amount of times.

Stacking up also let us easily free eachother by cleave, but as stated it did have some risks of a lot of people being slain by AOE effects. You could also have a strat of splitting up more and leting the Ice Block duration fall off (and keep the ones inside Ice Block healed up).

It was overall a really interesting boss and really pleasant that it didn't have any hard enrage timer. Might not been possible if that was the case!

Probably the engineering gizmo added in 8.1. I think they used to have it in earlier expansions as well, but was absent recently.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
