Twin Valkyrs Alternative Tactics
Twin Valkyrs Alternative Tactics
WotLK Guides - Trial of the Crusader - Strategy Guides
Ok folks i've come up with an alternative strategy to the one the team posted on http://www.crusaderscoliseum.com, So much to the annoyance of a couple of our raiders, last night I set our 10 man team up against the Twin Valkyrs with a new tactic to really hammer out the idea of a different strategy. I wont say i'm 100% certain this hasnt been done or isnt documented because i'm not that far up my own backside to think i'm some kind of genious but i do think it's worth pursuing and i think it fit our team dynamic better. This strategy if executed correctly will also reduce our kill time and offer us a better chance to gain the "Salt and Pepper" achievement.
Boss: Twin Valkyrs
Location: Trial of the Crusader
At the pull:
Tanks: Tanks will need to generate a lot of aggro at the start of the event as we are going for a speed kill. It's recommended that they get the aura that is the oppsite color of the boss they will be tanking to increase their damage.
DPS: All dps will start on one color, we have all our dps start with a White Aura and start hitting Darkbane as hard as they can as soon as the tank has stablised aggro.
Healers: As the dps will all be on one color orbs the healers are used to "eat up" the opposite color, essentially all our healers start on the Dark Aura and eat the dark orbs so they dont get to inflict raid damage.
Positioning: Because all the dps are sat on the White Aura we have both bosses tanked side by side next to one of the Dark Portals, depending on the ability that is being cast everyone will either need to swap aura, stay the same or just the dps will need to swap. This used to a be a problem when their ability "Strength of the Twins" was based on them being withiin a 60 yard range of each other but this is no longer the case, what you find with this ability is that it is now on the twin that does not have the shield when the other one is casting Twins Pact, make sure your healers are aware of this as the other tank will need a few extra heals.
ONCE ALL YOUR RAID HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF THEIR AURA HAVE BOTH BOSSES MOVED TO A PORTAL THAT IS AGAIN THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ALL NOW HAVE IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT COLOR SWITCH ABILITY
At this point the tank can also grab a color change if they need to go back to the same color as they boss for threat generation.
We use an anti-clockwise direction starting in the top left corner from where the entrance is and only move to the next one after a Vortex has forced all members to change color.
