This isn't really made clear in the dungeon journal, so to clarify on Nozdormu's buff:

-He will cast this twice on the whole raid - once straight after the fourth and once after the fifth hour of twilight. This is for the fifth and sixth minutes of the fight, when Ultraxion is casting arcs once every 2/1 seconds respectively.

-Any attack that would otherwise kill you will instead heal you to full health. This then cancels the buff, so it only works once until he recasts it.

The buff is designed to help with the massive raid damage going out in those last two minutes of the fight. Unless your DPS is very high due to being overgeared for the encounter, you will definitely need to survive the fifth minute, and then healers must keep you up for as long as needed in the sixth minute to kill the boss.

The fight is basically a gear check, both for DPS and for healers. The twilight realm mechanics are pretty straightforward and it's a case of kill him before he kills you. The enrage timer is deceptive - it's unlikely your healers will be able to keep you up for the entirety of the sixth minute, you probably have more like 5 minutes 30 seconds.

(This is for normal difficulty)

Thrall casts Last defender of azeroth on the tank(s), so tanks can, and should, be under CDs 100% of the time. Holy shield and shield block lasts longer than it's CD, and one minute cds have 80% uptime !

Commento di 95504

As you can do this simple calculation, the raid needs approximately 158k+ DPS to beat the hard enrage timer on normal 10 player difficulty.

If you are having trouble on DPS, try 2 heal it. As of Patch day /on live servers/ moderately geared 2 healers had no problem healing the raid.

Also as of Patch day Source of Magic, the blue buff is usable by caster DPS. Tooltip now reads 'Imbues one target with the essence of magic, reducing the mana cost of all spells by 75% and increasing spell haste by 100%.'

BTW you will need to deal with Hour of Twilight 7 times /once per 45 sec/. We tried not to stress the tanks that much so we used the following order to handle them:

1. MM Hunter /Deterrence/ After soaking the 1st cast, immediately hit Readiness.
2. Shadow Priest /Dispersion/
3. Hunter /Deterrence/
4. Tank
5. Tank or Shadow Priest. Depending on the cooldown of Dispersion
6. Hunter /Deterrence/
7. Hunter /Deterrence/ via Readiness.

Planning the 8th Hour of Twilight is practically pointless where Ultraxion will immediately cast Twilight Eruption and wipe your raid.

Heroism/Bloodlust should only be used after 6th or 7th Hour of Twilight primarily help the healers to mitigate the healing intense soft enrage after 4 min 30 sec.

Here are some major tips for all Raids out there with Rogues in group;

- Manto d'Ombra allows you to completely avoid the damage of Ora del Crepuscolo, while still allowing the Rogue using Cloak of Shadows to DPS Ultraxion, and prevent the Aspects from being killed. Ultraxion doesn't care that you can avoid the damage, he just minds himself with the fact that there are live players in the Twilight Realm.

- As an added bonus Finta, combined with Glifo Carbonizzato for maximum efficiency, reduces all damage Ultraxion does in this encounter (aside from his regular melee swings). This means Rogues can, in part, take 50% less damage for a large chunk of this encounter; lots of mana and nerves saved.

- Freiddie: "Cloak of Shadows also prevents the application of the 2min debuff that you get for soaking Hour of Twilight (on heroic)."

Preventing/removing this debuff is no longer possible.

Experiment 12-b, a rare mount, drops from this boss. It's an extremely low drop rate.

Edit: The mount does NOT drop on LFR.

Commento di Kathucka

Just completed this on 10-man normal with a solo tank.

The fight is an intense DPS/gear check with the gear currently available. It would be easy if everyone were fully decked out in Firelands heroic gear (or gear from this raid), but we weren't. The healing gets much more difficult after five minutes, with an AoE every second. You simply can't last long. The best way for us to beat that was to to use seven damage-dealers and win before the incoming raid damage got too intense.

You're supposed to use two tanks. When the current tank gets Fading Light and uses Heroic Will, the other tank is supposed to take over, so that no damage-dealer gets hit by melee. But.... There is another way.

With a single tank, that tank waits until the last possible moment to hit the Heroic Will button. The expiration of Fading Light quickly puts him back into the twilight realm. He then instantly taunts. If he times everything exactly right, he'll survive and will pop out of and into the twilight realm so quickly that Ultraxion will never get off a melee hit. Note that this is extremely risky, as one screw-up will kill a damage-dealer, but it works if the tank never screws up.

Fading Light never hits healers, and never hits the off-tank. It hits the current target and a damage-dealer.

Aside from beating the DPS check, the hardest part about this fight is training everyone when to hit the Heroic Will button for Fading Light. Fading Light has a random duration from 5-10 seconds. Heroic Will has a five-second duration, followed by a five-second cooldown. If you hit it instantly when you get Fading Light, you die, so don't do that. To survive, you have the hit the button when you have five or fewer seconds left of Fading Light. The key is to watch the countdown on the Fading Light debuff and hit the button when you have just one or two seconds left. That way, you survive, and you spend as little time as possible away from dealing damage.

Use raid-wide damage reducers, like Divine Guardian, Aura Mastery, and Anti-Magic Shell. The tank ones have longer durations and shorter cooldowns for this fight. The reduced stress on the healers matters.

The entire raid should be bunched up in front of the boss for AoE heals, bubbles, etc., except when a healer runs off to get a buff.

Will Twilight Eruption hit through Timeloop and instantly wipe the whole raid regardless at the 6 minute timer?

Commento di Superchief

So for 25 man is it about a 30k minimum consistent dps, to beat the enrage?

Per dps member?

Commento di Hanz0

Note that him, unlike other boses with huge hitbox that are static and cannot be moved only turned, cannot be hit from the back regardless of how much your tank faces him away from you. Kinda disappointing for some melees.

Commento di mstieler

Note: Feral Druids are your friend in this fight. A DPS Feral specced into Survival Instincts can start the fight as Bear, get the Last Defender of Azeroth buff, switch to Cat, and proceed to be a soaker for every other Hour of Twilight. The LDoA buff makes SI's CD 1.5 min, and Barkskin 30 sec. HoT hits every 45 sec so:

1. Feral(s)
2. Anyone else
3. Feral(s)
4. Anyone else else
5. Feral(s)
6. Anyone more elser
7. Feral(s)
...etc. etc.

No clue if Blizz is going to fix or be able to fix this (granted, in MoP, with the split Feral/Guardian trees, yes, they'll be able to detect which ferals are tank and which are DPS), but it's pretty frickin' awesome.

/run local b=ExtraActionButton1 b:SetParent(UIParent) b:SetPoint("CENTER",0,-200) b:Show()
However, the button will remain visible after the boss is dead, until you log out or /reloadui.

Just try with
/run local b=ExtraActionButton1 b:SetParent(UIParent) b:SetPoint("CENTER",0,-200) b:Hide()
Works for me :)

Commento di Anarial

If you're a tank you need to be in your tanking presence/stance/form when Thrall does the tank buffs otherwise you will not get Thrall's buff. We discovered this the hard way when our Feral offtank began the fight in Cat form for some additional DPS.

Commento di 326436

We found that if our tanks use their CDs before Thrall casts the buff then they get instantly refreshed

Commento di Mongatsumi

As a Discipline Priest, Blue is probably the best for us. In a 10-man raid, With 100% haste and 75% less mana cost, you can bubble shield like the days of old. Once the raid has weakened soul, just PoH spam 3-4 times and repeat.

Haven't had a chance to test in 25-man, but I'd assume you could just spam your heart out.

Also, Divine Hymn is kinda crazy at this level of haste.

The following power aura will place a fading light timer near your feet so you know when to phase out of the twilight realm.

Version:4.23; icon:Ability_Druid_TwilightsWrath; buffname:Fading Light; x:-397; bufftype:2; owntex:true; timer.h:2.14; timer.enabled:true; timer.y:-92

Commento di Shamalah

A Blood DK can eat every single Hour of Twilight for normal mode Dragon Soul 10 man just fine. Every other one you can pop both AMS and Icebound Fortitude to take essentially no damage (it was never more than 5% of my health with these two). As long as you're near topped off, AMS alone can handle all of the other casts.

And mostly for fun, Last Defender of Azeroth resets the cooldown of every ability it effects when it's first cast on you, and with the short delay before it goes active, you can just pop every single cooldown at the start of teh fight and then have them immediately reset.

Commento di 612548

We actually found this to be (much) easier with 2 (good, 378 geared) healers on 10 man.

Since the duration of the last part (after Ripetizione Temporale), which is arguably the hardest part of the fight, is considerably shorter with an extra dps.

Commento di 626994

A good Sub Rogue ( meaning 3/3 improved feint : 80% AoE reduction reduces HoT to 60k dmg) can eat every hour of twilight. Heck, with (improved) Recuperate they can probably self-heal it too.
We'll have to wait and see how it'll end up being, but i suspect that it'll be like Theralion and valiona heroic : if you have a good sub rogue the fight is extremely simplified.

Commento di Fingertrick

This fight is a DPS gear check and a bit healing check. We just killed this boss on 10-man moments ago with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 damage dealers. The enrage timer was a bit strict but we made it with DPS'ers ranging from 20-30k DPS. Average ilvl of the whole raid was maybe 375.

Our rotation set-up in the Hour of Twilight was:
Fire Mage Cauterizes
Spriest Dispersion w/ glyph
Fire Mage Cauterizes
Spriest Dispersion w/ glyph
etc.. etc..

We had a Restoration shaman picking up all the buffs.
Pretty easy and fun fight once you get the hang of it!

Good luck!

We made several attempts last night using both the 1 tank and 2 tank methods and also 2 heals and 3 heals methods. We have a couple new members in our 10 man team so we had other issues but our best attempts were with 2 tanks and 2 heals. The poster that said the one tank method would allow for the tank to click the button at the last second and get back into taunt was not kidding when he said it had to be flawless. Everytime we tried this the tank was able to time it correct but there is 10 seconds with no theat so he was able to taunt as soon as he came out but after the 3 seconds were up the boss would turn and one-shot a dps. So we stuck with the 2 tank method for a few attempts we wiped due to lack of dps everytime so we went with two heals and we were very close on the last couple attempts for the night. Our best attempt was less then 2mil health so my opinion is if your healers can handle it this seems like a viable strat.

Commento di Baskosvk

Done it this week. This fight has a very easy tactic, so its just test of your DPS. It should be done with 2 tanks and 3 healers, but it seems ours DPS was not high enough for this. So we tried to change numbers of tanks and healers, we tried it with 1 tank and 3 healers, 2 tanks and 2 healers, but it didnt work. So we tried do it on 1 tank and 2 healers, just for fun:) and it worked. Killed in 5 minutes and 10 sec, with average dps about 22-23k (tank had 18k).

But there is a lot of things that can ruin your fight. Tank need to wait on Fading Light to last second, so a little connection problem may kill him, also often happen that some DPS get melee hit from boss as tank loose threath after fading light, if this DPS is some ranged (basicaly anybody who doesnt wear plate) its often instant kill. And as it usually is, when someone die in 10 man its over. But it can be done, so if you have too low DPS for this try it :)

Commento di arkensis

For Damage dealers who are new to this fight, pay close attention to the cast time of Hour of Twilight and to the debuff timer on Fading Light. You will substantially reduce the amount of damage you do in the fight if you use Heroic Will too early.

Heroic Will lasts for 5 seconds, and is instant cast - if you cast it during the last second of the Hour of Twilight cast or of the Fading Light debuff, you'll put yourself out of commission for a much smaller amount of time. Over the course of the fight, this could mean actively causing damage for an additional 30 seconds or more. Since the "enrage timer" is effectively 5:30, 30 seconds is 1/11 of your time in combat - a significant amount of time. Multiply that 30 seconds by 5 or 6 damage dealers, and you might find yourselves able to down Ultraxion.

TL;DR: Using Heroic Will earlier than necessary will cause a huge DPS loss.

Commento di Arothand

Note for tanks that the Mirror of Broken Images apparently does NOT work on Hour of Twilight. Last night on my Warrior I was soaking them and could use Shield Wall on every other HoT due to it's cooldown reduction, but for the second HoT I tried using Shield Block (for the 20% spell damage reduction) and MoBI and still died instantly.

The macro above will not work if you are casting, and it has been the cause for many wipes.

For a more reliable macro:

Commento di Conduras

just killed him for the first time in 10 man , probably the best tank here is DK . You can take all Hour of Twilight easy and u can do 18-20k DPS to help the raid too :) We had another tank but he was helping at Fading Light .

Commento di martanius

This is easy encouter, if you have good heal and DPS and all know what to do.
What you need :

10man NORMAL

3x Heal (if you trust your raiders you can 2 heal it)
2x Tank
5-6x DPS (25-30k minimum)

Stack before boss all time.

Tank:

You can use all your CD's, better to do it at start of fight, one of the aspects give you buff which decrease your spells with maximum of 3min CD by 50%.. So what you need to do is :

- Boss will debuff you with this spell, duration is 5-10 seconds so if you have this debuff use Heroic Will (you will be 5 seconds in normal realm) and debuff MUST expire in normal realm! So activate the Volontà Eroica when will less than 5 seconds remaining (so 1-4 seconds) then use Volontà Eroica .
Ora del Crepuscolo - Boss will sometime cast this spell, so when will three quarters left in boss's cast bar use Volontà Eroica ! (it's for all players, or you die)
Check debuff's of your second tank, so when you see that he/she have debuff TAUNT boss.

Heal:

Use AoE heals and keep tank with the debuff up or atleast at 50% HP before he enter normal realm - or he will die.

Have boss in Focus Target, so you will see if he cast Ora del Crepuscolo, so use Volontà Eroica when will three quarters left in boss's cast bar.

One of the aspects give you buff which increase your healing done by 100%.

DPS:

Show your best DPS all time, but save CD for last phase (10m HP in 10-man mode).

Keep eye on boss's cast bar, Ora del Crepuscolo , activate Volontà Eroica when will three quarters left in boss's cast bar.

10man HEROIC

Read normal tactic first.

Tactic for HC is very similar as normal tactic.
Just all goes very very faster than normal.

What you need ?

2x Heal (or 3x if you want and have very good DPS)
2x Tank (200k+ HP and good Eq)
Rest DPS (30-40k DPS) or atleast some DPSers with this limit.

Tank

Thinks are same as on normal but there are some differences.

1. All goes very faster
2. on it and press Volontà Eroica in time.

Keep in mind that on normal difficuly after expiration of this spell on normal realm you will be returned to twilight realm but after it you will get debuff for 5 sec which increasing your physical damage taken by 100% so wait until other tank get and then TAUNT.

Heal

Be focus and heal targets who have . On HC this debuff take 3 players (tank + 2 players).

Damage

Show your best again and if you have use Volontà Eroica and let expire in normal realm.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leader must split raid to 3 groups and in one groups need to be atleast 2 ppls with some dmg decreasing spells.

Why? This is because of bosses Ora del Crepuscolo hits everyone who is not in normal realm, including aspects! It means that atleast 2 ppls (on 25HC 3 ppls) must stay in twilight realm when boss does Ora del Crepuscolo. So if you are on one of these groups you must stay on twilight realm dont press Volontà Eroica and use your defense spells.

So when boss does 1st Volontà Eroica so first group stay in twilight realm, 2nd Volontà Eroica second group stay in twilight realm (but not same group as in 1st) and when boss cast Ora del Crepuscolo 3rd time so third group stay in twilight realm (but not same group as in first two Ora del Crepuscolo). Then all around.

Sorry for my english :D I think that it isn't very good.

Commento di Euphemia

Well, learn to click that button, please - and time it up nicely so you don't mess up!
Here's us doing the achievement Due minuti a mezzanotte on Ultraxion - there are instructions in the video as well, so it might serve for tips for anyone wanting to get this guy on farm. Mind you, the achievement way of doing it is not optimal. Have as few people eat the Hour of Twilight as you can - as you're less prone to errors that way.

One thing not mentioned in the video, is that we have our tanks taunt off each other as soon as Fading Light is applied on the current tank. That way it works out nicely for the swaps back and forth.

Commento di Mongatsumi

Ultimo Difensore di Azeroth reset's all defensive cooldowns affected by it when it goes out. So burn all your cooldowns in the beginning tanks!

Fellow Goblin Rogues:

If you accidentally hit Rocket Jump while standing near the edge, FEAR NOT - You *can* Killing Spree (while still in range) and you will teleport back on to the platform, avoiding your untimely demise and much embarrassment.

Commento di Moridethenar

Healers may want to know that you are able to use your special ability for this fight (Volontà Eroica) while channeling a Pozione della Concentrazione and you will NOT be interrupted.

In fact you will continue to channel mana regeneration for the duration of Heroic Will, as well as after Heroic Will is removed.

Commento di rilgania

Yet another 10m heroic guide... :)

This is a quick cover of how my raid did the first kill and thought to give a few inputs for those looking for advice. It is by no means supposed to be the "best" way to do it, it merely was the best solution for OUR raid!

Setup
- 2 Tanks (death knight, druid)
- 2 Healers (druid, priest)
- 6 DDs (2 hunter, mage, rogue, warlock, priest)

General
This fight is hardly any different from normal mode and has only a few changes:

You'll need to rotate up to 6 people per Hour of Twilight, 2 each.
The group will most likely not survive the last 30 secs before enrage for long. We used Ancient Hysteria after the 6th hour of twilight because of that.
This is a massive DPS race and HPS check.

Assignements
Healers: druid took red, priest green. The druid would switch to blue once he couldn't sustain the raid with hots any longer (most likely after the 5th hour of twilight).
Hour of twilight:

hunter, hunter
feral druid, shadow priest
rogue, death knight

The mage was backup.

Enjoy! :)

Commento di tadelle

An easy fight , but you have to be careful about boss abilities. Our setup contains a priest and a holy paladin (me) as healers. From a healer POV , you just have to watch 2 things. Ora del Crepuscolo and spawn times of healing buffs (Dono della Vita Essenza dei Sogni Sorgente della Magia).

Most people think , Essenza dei Sogni has the most benefits for a holy paladin but i have to disagree with that. After 4.3 changes and Oggetto - Paladino T13 Sacro 4P Bonus (Splendore Sacro) , Sorgente della Magia has the most benefits for a holy paladin. Because raid damage is high, haste is the best secondary stat , and Holy Radiance is effected with haste.

So , our priest healer gets Dono della Vita , i get Essenza dei Sogni until Sorgente della Magia spawns. My rotation after getting Sorgente della Magia is 3 x Holy Radiance - 1 x Light of Dawn or 1 x Word of Glory.

P.S : After checking "Healing Done" , Holy Radiance covers 55% - 60% of my healing. So Sorgente della Magia is the best choice for a paladin.

More an abomination of dark energy than a dragon, Ultraxion has spent his short life absorbing the essence of captured nether dragons. Ultraxion is the only twilight dragon Deathwing has praised, and his arrogance is overshadowed only by the crackling energies surging through his twisted form. Loyal to his master, Ultraxion swears to bring about the fall of Wyrmrest Temple.

Commento di citrique

Amusingly, this boss is the best training dummy in the game.

Queue Fall of Deathwing with Raid Finder, and you get put in a full 25-man raid group which is most likely going to have all the necessary buffs and debuffs you need for optimal DPS. Various classes such as rogues/fire mages can just eat Hour of Twilight and since there's no fading light debuffs to worry about on Raid Finder difficulty, you can more or less stand there and tunnel DPS into the boss from pull to dead.

There's a few minutes of trash associated with the RP event but since this is the first boss of the latter Dragon Soul segment, there's little wait time involved. You can also use this boss to have DPS races with friends, test out new specs and goofy theories, etc.

Commento di Baskosvk

one tip, its good if you go on 2 tanks, when off tank take dmg equip. I tried it, and it was very good. Let one tank have the boss all time, and off tank only take strikes when main go away when gets Fading Light, so he survive in dmg eqp with no problems. I also stayed on all Hour of Twillight (as prot pala), to gain some vengence :). Done it like that, killed in 4:48 and as a tank a I done 23k dps:)

Commento di 887350

Ysera's Essence of Dreams

does this buff actually duplicate HoTs? for example, if druid's rejuvenation's tick is around 3k, will it heal 340 per tick for every members (10man) present there? so 10 rejuvenations that is present on all 10 members will simply make the ticks to heal 100% more (since there are 1 rejuv present with 9 duplicated rejuv on a single target present)

or is my math wrong?

Commento di crzy123

The essence of dreams will add up all healing done within one second and distribute it evenly over all raid members. Therefore, you are half right. It will theoretically increase throughput by 100% (not guaranteed with overheal), however not through single packets like you had described. This makes the green buff less attractive to disc priests and, to a lesser extent, holy paladins whom both have a significant healing through absorbs which are not accounted for in the green buff. Both of these healers are better served using red/blue due to divine aegis and illuminated healing scaling with healing done (as well as straight holy radiance/PoH spam with blue buff).

Commento di villainae

Alright, I've heard many conflicting answers, but nothing definitive. Can you now backstab/shred ultraxion from the front?

Commento di 930086

A quick note re-feral droods against this boss.

I achieve 21k dps throughout DS except for Ultraxion. As a result I keep taking flak from other players who seem to know my class better than me.

My DPS relies on attacks from behind, my talents,Glyphs and macros are built to suit. Ultraxion is also immune to at least one of my attacks that I know of...Shred. Also my glancing blows % goes higher.

As a result my overall DPS suffers, my finishing moves take longer to stack up and I lose macro time. I could re glyph .... re macro.... re talent......

However thats a lot of messing about for what is an easy boss in LFR. Also the only boss I've fought where I can't achieve my usual DPS.

SO............. Please have patience and don't threaten to kick your feral drood after this boss. His/Her DPS will return to normal after this boss. Ive been threatened like this twice now despite the boss being defeated easily with no deaths. We all bring different strokes to LFR groups so get off those high horses and enjoy :).

Note: Ultraxion is unable to parry but still able to dodge.

Took me a while to find that out from various forums, as I couldn't see any info about this on here.

Commento di Iroared

Since my previous comment misteriously disappeared, I'll post it again.

Certain addons will hide the Heroic Will button - if, after you are pulled into twilight, you don't see the button, here are the three things you can do.

Make the following macro, and drag it on your action bars (or keybind it):
/click ExtraActionButton1
Type the following, or make a macro and click it once:
/run local b=ExtraActionButton1 b:SetParent(UIParent) b:SetPoint("CENTER",0,-200) b:Show()
This will detach the button from its frame to prevent addons from hiding it. The only drawback is that the button will remain visible after the boss is dead and will keep re-appearing until you reload UI.
Go to menu>keybindings, find "Extra Action Button 1" (it comes right after normal action buttons), and assign a key to it.

Commento di 935394

seems also that being in tanking stance (bear form, blood presence, defensive stance and righteous fury on) identify you as a tank and let you get Last Defender of Azeroth.

Commento di 937869

In heroic mode when you are hit by you will also get a debuff called Oscurità Minacciosa which prevents your from eating again until the debuff is gone. The debuff will now also increase physical damage taken by 100%.

If no players are in melee range of Ultraxion he will cast Scarica Crepuscolare on the raid and wipe you. In heroic mode you will also need to leave 2 players out for on 10 man or Ultraxion will cast Eruzione Crepuscolare.

After 5 minutes Nozdormu will buff the raid with Ripetizione Temporale which will help the healers deal with the increased damage from Mostruosità Instabile.

Calamità

Commento di Namnalia

Tactics for 10m heroic:

You'll need 2 Tanks and 2-3 healers (I strongly recommend 2).

Changes from normal mode:

The boss has 85 000 000 HP
Hour of Twilight must hit (at least) two players and deals 300 000 damage
The cast time of Hour of Twilight and the Fading light debuff are shorter
Hour of Twilight leaves a 2-Minute debuff killing you when you take another Hour of Twilight

You'll get Hour of Twilight at 0:45, 1:30, 2:15, 3:00, 3:45, 4:30, 5:15 and 6:00. The last Hour of Twilight is immediately followed by a raid-wiping cast.

So, you'll have to overcome all of these new mechanics, here's how:

To beat the boss before the enrage timer of ~6 minutes, you need 236,1k RDPS. However, this assumes to reach the 6:00-mark alive, which is nearly impossible with 2 healers, so for 2-healer setups the time of the kill should be around 5:20, meaning about 265k RDPS.

With 2 Tanks dealing ~18k, the requirement for a DD is roughly 38.2k DPS for the 2-healer version and 40k for the 3-healer version - as you can easily see, even prolonging the fight by a third healer does not really help the dps-requirements. Healers will be able to DPS within the first minute of the fight, a Discipline Priest can even keep smiting during the second minute. However, seen on the whole fight length, this is hardly worth 10k dps and does not really make or break it in most cases. A lot more important than that are the tank's DPS which will persist throughout the fight. Reaching more than 20k really helps to beat the encounter a lot.

Hour of Twilight has to hit two players (where "hit" just means you have to be in the twilight realm, so Pala bubble is fine) and you can only take every third one. You need a very strong (60% reduce or more) cooldown to survive this (or more than one weaker cooldown, e.g. I was able to take one with glyphed Soul Link, Nether Protection and Pain Suppression as a warlock). As you will need your tank's raid CD in the last minute of the fight, your tank(s) have to go first or at least second. The best classes for this are obviously those that don't take any damage, like Rogues with CloS, Paladins with bubble, Hunters with Deterrence or Shadow Priests with Dispersion. We used, for example:

Warrior Tank with Shield Wall plus Rogue with CloS
Feral Tank with Frenzied Regeneration and Barkskin plus Holy Paladin with bubble
Destruction Warlock with glyphed Soul Link, Nether Protection and Pain Suppression and Firemage (Cauterize)
Warrior Tank with Shield Wall plus Rogue with CloS
Arms Warrior with Shield Wall and Firemage (Cauterize)
Feral Tank with Frenzied Regeneration and Barkskin plus Retribution Paladin with bubble
Warrior Tank with Shield Wall plus Rogue with CloS

This way, you only had to heal one of the players to full HP before Hour of Twilight hit (Rouge, Mage and Paladin will survive anyway) and furthermore, our warrior had his Raid Shield Wall up for Minute 5 (kill was @ 5:24).

Holy Paladins really shine here with Holy Radiance, the second spot is up to you (we took a Discipline priest for Pain Suppression and Smite damage, but it wasn't really needed).

We had some unnecessary wipes to Fading light before we established a "always press before 1s left" rule. You just don't want to lose tries to this, rather die to the enrage timer (which we never even saw). The 10m version is rather easy in my opinion (took us less than 20 tries, a lot less than, for example, Yor'sahj), looking forward to hear complaints from the 25m-raiders!

Have fun!

Solo healed this with extreme ease on 10-Man Normal as a 387 geared Holy Paladin. Boss died after 3 and a half minutes without using Heroism. Stick with the red buff for the whole fight, use a lot of Holy Radiance and mix in a few Holy Shocks for mana efficiency. Obviously stick with Light Of Dawn over Word Of Glory - it transfers to the beacon which will keep the tank alive no problem. Use Divine Plea before you click the button for Hour Of Twilight to minimise the loss of throughput. You should have absolutely no mana issues and your HPS will be more than sufficient to keep the raid topped up most of the time.

I highly recommend this tactic to any groups who might be finding this boss challenging. We will be attempting to solo heal it on Heroic next week as that too is a viable strategy.

Commento di 798034

im sure this has been pointed out before but just so u know
"fading light debuff on players can appear hidden inbetween your own buffs" in some cases or if your ui gets screwed up. be sure to do /reload ui or something similar before attempting ultraxion in order to try to clear it up. also if you have the latest dbm it also counts down when you have fading light on you. hit the button at 3 or 2 seconds to be safe.

oh good atleast this gets downvoted.. thanks for pointing out bad advice.

Commento di 942431

Just letting you guys know since it seems that a lot of you are misinformed and nobody has corrected or said anything, the boss IS shred-able and backstable-able, as well as any other "Must be behind the target" abilities. Blizz changed it to accommodate cats and rogues.

HEROIC 25M ULTRAXION - PART ONE

After downing Ultraxion on 25 Man Heroic, here are some tips I can provide. Some of the below do not apply, as at this point in the expansion (July 2012) the content has been nerfed and most characters have gear that trivializes much of it. That being said, there this useful info you can glean if your guild is having trouble.

Here are the notable changes on 25M heroic:

affects 6 random players (in addition to the current tank for a total of 7 players), up from 3 random players in 25N (Total 4)
, received after being affected by , now acts as a threat wipe and increases physical damage taken by 100% for 5 seconds (in 25N, acts as a threat wipe and prevents additional threat for 5 seconds).
5 players are required to stay in the Twilight Realm for each Ora del Crepuscolo, up from 3 players in 25N
Ora del Crepuscolo has a 3 second cast time, down from 5 seconds in normal mode.
Oscurità Minacciosa affects each player that stays in the twilight realm to soak Ora del Crepuscolo. This debuff lasts two minutes, and during this time any additional Ora del Crepuscolo damage will instantly kill them. This debuff is not present in normal mode.

Now some tips!

We use Brama di Sangue/Distorsione Temporale/Eroismo twice during the fight. On the pull, we have our shaman countdown to bloodlust off the bat; all healers and any dps with an execute mechanic (e.g. warriors, rogues, fire mages) use their Volontà Eroica during the countdown so as to be in the normal realm when it is cast, thus avoiding it. We then pop Brama di Sangue/Distorsione Temporale/Eroismo a second time for the last part of the fight (with 45-60 seconds remaining till enrage) to give the healers an extra boost during the most intense part of the fight, and to give dps a boost during execute.
Traps, such as Trappola Esplosiva or for hunters and Fungo Selvaggio for druids, if placed at the very edge of the platform on top of Wyrmrest Temple before the pull, will damage the boss when triggered during combat.
The raid should be stacked tightly to maximize AoE heals; the stack should be right at the very edge of the platform. While melee can DPS from farther back, a stack that is very close to the boss allows any tentacles procced from Gurthalak, Voce delle Profondità wielders in your raid to be within range of the boss. It is a substantial DPS loss if tentacles spawn too far from the boss and flail around uselessly.
A countdown at the beginning (or alternatively, watching the countdown to combat start timer on DBM or other boss mod) also allows for pre-potting - popping a potion before combat starts such that it starts its 1-minute cooldown before you enter combat, allowing a second potion to be used during the fight. This is also useful for healers that can DPS early in the fight.
Any damage that tanks and healers provide helps immensely. While 15k dps should be easily achievable by any tank, 20-30k can be attained with the use of DPS trinkets and damage cooldowns with or without some re-glyphing/re-gemming/reforging. From a healer perspective, our priest specced Espiazione and was spamming Punizione/Fuoco Sacro, notably in the first 2 minutes of the fight when healing requirements are the lowest, with judicious DoT application throughout. As another example, resto shamans should be sure to use and Totem delle Fiamme, as this damage is not insignificant.
Taunt rotations for tanks are especially important for this fight - particularly towards the end. The reason for this is because acts as a threat wipe; we had each tank, when affected by , calling for a taunt from the second tank right before hitting their Volontà Eroica. This needs to be very precise, as a single melee hit will wipe out a healer. The healers are most at risk because they build up a large amount of healing threat via the various healer buffs. In addition, does not affect healers, so DPS will have recurrent threat wipes through the course of the fight, while healers will not get one.
5 raid members must stay in the twilight realm to soak each Ora del Crepuscolo. In addition, Oscurità Minacciosa prevents a player from soaking another for 2 minutes (essentially the next two Ora del Crepuscolo casts). As such, you need at least 3 groups of 5 players to act as soakers. Ultraxion casts Ora del Crepuscolo 7 times during the fight. With exactly 3 groups of 5 (Groups A, B and C), Group A soaks three (1st, 4th and 7th cast), while Group B (2nd and 5th cast) and C (3rd and 6th cast) soak two each. It is recommended you use your best soakers (i.e. the ones that take little to no damage) in Group A.
10 seconds prior to Ora del Crepuscolo being cast, we have a raid member announce which group is soaking it (i.e. Group A/B/C or 1/2/3 depending on the designation your raid uses) so that the raiders in question are prepared to do so. In addition, disc priests are able to Parola del Potere: Scudo the soaking group, and other healers are able to cast HoTs to bring them to full health. Soakers should click early, if available, to further ensure a top-up before soaking.
External cooldowns from healers are at a premium and should, for the most part, be saved for extreme damage at the end, in particular for tanks. This being said, Spirito Custode and other damage cooldowns can allow anyone to soak in a tight situation. For the most part, soakers must make use of other group damage reduction abilities - Area Antimagia from Unholy DKs and a Warrior's Chiamata a Raccolta are great examples. In addition, our warrior tank would Intervento (with talented) our weakest soaker(s) right before hitting his Volontà Eroica; a paladin's Benedizione del Sacrificio works well for this purpose also.
As mentioned above, Ora del Crepuscolo has a shorter cast time so players must be prepared for this. Casters and healers should watch DBM (or your alternate boss mod) for each Ora del Crepuscolo and time their casts to complete them with time to spare for Volontà Eroica. To increase dps and healing, I recommend throwing in an instant cast of some sort right before using Volontà Eroica, as this ability is not on the GCD and can be cast immediately after any spell.

HEROIC 25M ULTRAXION - PART TWO

Heroic Ultraxion tips continued! See my other post for more.

It is prudent to have a back up soaker or two in case one of your main soakers bites the dust prematurely - communicate to ensure you have the required 5 soakers per Ora del Crepuscolo cast, in order to prevent certain wipes from Eruzione Crepuscolare. Worst case scenario, if there are no backup DPS/heals that can survive Ora del Crepuscolo, have a DPS stay out and sacrifice him/herself to be battle rezzed/reincarnated thereafter. This is preferable to the whole raid wiping.
DPS that are not part of soaking groups (i.e. group A/B/C), if possessing an ability that allows them to survive Ora del Crepuscolo but also allows DPS to continue (such as Manto d'Ombra or Finta for rogues, Scudo Divino or Protezione Divina with Glifo Carbonizzato for paladins, Cauterizzazione for mages) can optionally stay in the twilight realm for one Ora del Crepuscolo every 2 minutes to allowed continued DPS; the benefit gained, however, is minimal and is on the order of 1-2 GCDs per 2 minutes at the cost of additional damage that needs to be healed. When executed properly, raid members will only be out of the twilight realm and unable to DPS for about 1 second when using Volontà Eroica. Also, DPS that remain in the twilight realm (over and above the 5 soakers) will be affected by Oscurità Minacciosa and are thus unable to fill in should a backup soaker be required.
If you can't see your Volontà Eroica button, people recommend keybinding the following macro to "click" your button:
/click ExtraActionButton1
I would in fact recommend that ALL raid members put this macro on your action bar rather than clicking your UI button (whether or not you can see it) - this allows for much quicker reaction times, especially when squeezing an extra attack/heal in before using it. Note that the macro is case sensitive, and that a /stopcasting command is unnecessary - Volontà Eroica will automatically interrupt casts in progress.
If Volontà Eroica (which has a 5 second duration) is used too early (notably when you have more than 5 seconds left on ) spam the button as the cooldown is expiring to immediately put you back out of the twilight realm and avoid impending death. This is even easier to do when using the above keybound macro. In theory, server lag may result in a fraction of a second where you are vulnerable, between Volontà Eroica casts, but in most cases this should not coincide with the fatal damage.
This may seem obvious, but given the rigorous DPS requirements, it is essential that raiders are diligent about using Volontà Eroica for Ora del Crepuscolo and . A single DPS being dead for a short length of time, or even more so a healer, can easily mean a wipe due to hitting the enrage. You will find that the vast majority (80% or more!) of your wipes early on are from people who do not use Volontà Eroica at the right time (or use it when they are supposed to soak an Ora del Crepuscolo), especially since on 25-man Heroic you rely on the perfect execution of 15 separate people for soaking Ora del Crepuscolo, and 7 for each . It is better to err on the side of using Volontà Eroica with 1.5-1 seconds remaining, rather than wait till 0.5-0.1 seconds remain and suffer a death from a random lag spike, finger slip etc. In addition, each raid member killed increases the shared damage from Mostruosità Instabile per raider. 1 raider down means everyone takes 4% more damage; 2 raiders results in 9% more damage per raider, and 3 raiders down means 14% more damage (and so on).
If a death does occur, a prompt Pronto Ritorno/Rianima Alleato//Reincarnazione is essential to minimize lost DPS. Set pre-assigned battle rez orders to minimize wasted CDs and ensure prompt response. Pronto Ritorno with Glifo Carbonizzato shines for obvious reasons. When accepting a battle rez, make sure to accept immediately after you see Mostruosità Instabile arc from the boss, to prevent potential insta-death after standing up; also beware of upcoming Ora del Crepuscolo casts and wait until after, unless you are required to soak it.
has a variable timer, from 2-8 seconds, and tracking it can be quite difficult. As well, in some UI configurations, the debuff is hidden amongst player buffs, making it incredibly hard to see the remaining time on the debuff. DBM has an audible timer that counts down from 5 seconds remaining (or less if the debuff had less than 5 seconds to begin with). The 5 second window is ideal as Volontà Eroica has a 5 second duration, and using it any time after DBM starts the countdown is safe. Many raiders (including myself) find this audible timer to be extremely accurate (results may vary depending on computer performance) and using Volontà Eroica after the 1 second audible alert should work reliably.
In addition (or instead) of the audible timer, the addon Power Auras can be configured to provide a much more visible warning and countdown timer for . The following Power Aura places a large red skull in the upper-middle portion of your screen, with a central countdown timer for time remaining on the debuff. It's certainly hard to miss! Simply open Power Auras configuration (/powa) and click Import, pasting the following string:

Version:4.23; b:0.1804; g:0; icon:Ability_Druid_TwilightsWrath; buffname:Fading Light; bufftype:2; texture:9; size:1.03; y:262; timer.h:2.08; timer.Texture:Monofonto; timer.enabled:true; timer.y:275; timer.x:-9
The last minute of the fight is incredibly intense, with damage going out every second from the boss. The second bloodlust (as mentioned in my other post) for healers certainly helps with this, but in addition raid-wide cooldowns need to be used back-to-back. One of the best by far is Totem del Collegamento Spirituale, which should be saved for the final push.
With a good healer team, personal cooldowns shouldn't be necessary for much of the fight (except for Ora del Crepuscolo of course). During the last 1 minute of the fight, however, all DPS should help with personal and/or raid cooldowns. This includes Tranquillità from DPS druids, Chiamata a Raccolta from warriors, and tank T13 four-set bonuses. Pietra della Salute should also be reserved for this time, preferably once Ripetizione Temporale has been consumed and Totem del Collegamento Spirituale has been used.
You have essentially 6 minutes and 4 seconds to kill Ultraxion; this includes the time during which he casts Eruzione Crepuscolare. After he completes the 5 second cast, this wipes the raid, through any immunities including Blocco di Ghiaccio, Scudo Divino or Volontà Eroica itself. Given the length of the fight, 5-minute damage cooldowns such as for paladins, Avventatezza or Lancio Frantumante for warriors, and with Glifo Carbonizzato can be used twice in this fight, if used on the pull (although using Avventatezza towards the end of the fight is inadvisable).

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the commands to hear this boss's audio files? He has some epic quotes, particularly the one he says when he does Hour of Twilight.

Commento di Thestool

Pro Hunter Tip
get a different pet identical to your pet. What i mean by this is that you get one per pet so before the fight is about to start at about ~5 seconds before he becomes attackable (DBM should have a timer) use call of the wild and then dismiss and summon your pet so you can have 10% more attack power at the begining.

I say 5 seconds because it takes 2 seconds to cast dismiss pet and you cant summon him right after you dismiss, you have to wait a little then it takes 1 second to summon him.

Commento di rzzr

Couple of general tips when doing HC Ultraxion for the first time.

1) Switch it to heroic before clearing the trash otherwise you will have to clear those pesky whelps all over again!

2) The cast for Hour of Twilight is much shorter and will catch you out if you not prepared!

Good luck!

We could use some tips with this on 10 man Heroic. We have been stuck for two weeks on this fight and no matter what we seem to change up we always come up short. Currently we are using a 2 tank/2 heal setup. Both our healers are pushing 35k and even they say they are not having that much of an issue. It may simply be a lack of DPS but their numbers appear pretty good so I am not sure. Our mechanics seem strong, we normally don't lose anyone early or to something simple. I am wondering if anyone has any suggustions about mabey changing the rotation up to possibly push a little extra dps or any suggestions at all to help us over this bump? And also what should the dps numbers be on average for the 6 Dps for this fight?

Here is our setup:

MT= Prot Paladin
OT= Feral Druid
Heals1= Holy Paladin (gets the 1st and then the 3rd crystal)
Heals2= Disc Priest (gets the 2nd crystal)
Dps1= Surv Hunter
Dps2= Feral Druid
Dps3= Fire Mage
Dps4= Ele Shaman (normal 3rd healer)
Dps5= Assn Rogue
Dps6= Ele Shaman

Our Hour of Twilight rotation is:

1st&4th= MT+Dps2 (they would be back up for 7th also)
2nd&5th= OT+Dps5
3rd= Dps1+Heals1
6th= Dps1+Dps3

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Commento di 920002

Here is a quick run down for tanking this fight. I will give you the MT and OT point of view.

MT should attempt to keep agro at all times accept when he gets Fading Light and needs to hit the button. Apon returning to the twilight realm after the button fades he should taunt back. In LFR the MT can eat every Hour of Twilight, in normal mode it depends on the type of tank, if they can eat each one great, if not then the OT needs to swap eating the Hour of Twilight but that is normal not LFR.

OT should only taunt when the MT gets Fading Light, if I am OT I will taunt right away and hold agro until the MT returns to the twilight realm. If the MT fails to taunt when he returns then just watch for your Fading Light debuff to get to about 3 seconds left and hit your button and pray that the other tank taunts or your dps/heals are going to take a beating. Just be ready to taunt back right away if he is not doing his job.

I never rely on the other tank in LFR. The amount of damage done by Hour of Twilight is minimal, even for those tanks that dont have a cooldown for every cast. So I try to keep agro throughout the entire fight other then the minimal time I am out the Twilight Realm for Fading Light. I wait until there is less then 2 seconds left on my debuff to hit my button and then taunt back right away. But if your latency is bad that may be cutting it to close so that is something you will need to test for yourself.

If you have any other questions I will be happy to help.

Paste this into the import/export editbox of a blank icon, and use the dropdown menu to import "From String". This will display an icon showing the time remaining on the other tank's Fading Light, and will disappear when you taunt off them. You'll need to put the other tank on Focus for it to work. Be sure to test it out on LFR first so you don't wipe your raid team with a faulty icon!

As a blood DK with 384 ilvl, I was able to take every single HoT in 10 man without very much effort. Simply pop Anti-Magic Shell, Icebound Fortitude, Vampiric Blood, and Bone Shield and it should only hit you for ~24k. By the time the next HoT rolls around, everything but Icebound should be off CD, it will hit you for more this time, but should be easily soaked up. And by the time of the 3rd, Icebound will be off CD and you can rinse, repeat, and have a dead Ultraxion without having to worry about who will take which HoT.

Commento di 148101

Helpful post for 10 man heroic, I will list the abilities that you can use to soak Hour of twilight, since 2 people have to do it at a time, and you can only take 1 every 2 minutes.

Tank Classes-
DK - Anti Magic Shell, Icebound fortitude
Warrior - Shield Wall + Rallying Cry
Druid - Survival Instincts, Frenzied Regeneration + Barkskin
Paladin - Guardian of the Ancient Kings, Divine Protection + Glyph, Ardent Defender

Dps Classes-
Hunter - Deterrence
Mage - Cauterize
Rogue - Cloak of Shadows, Feint
Priest - Dispersion, Guardian Spirit
Warlock - Metamorphosis + Soul Link + Shadow Ward
Shaman - Shamanistic Rage

Note you can use abilities such as Divine Guardian,Spirit Link Totem, Power Word: Barrier

These are the ones we have been using in our 10 man group, but feel free to post some other combinations. With the 15% nerf it's not too hard anymore to do the required dps with 2 heals and 2 tanks.

10 man Heroic.
This boss requires a lot of dps and the use of your heroism is crucial. We found it easiest to do it at 20 mil but can be most efficient if you pop hero at start as you dont have to think about Fading Light then.
We did it with the setup:
2 healers: Druid and paladin, better combos does exist, this one wasnt very good but worked)

2 tanks: Warrior and Paladin. We found it great to have a paladin who could use the reduced damage taken for all raid members, except the paladin himself, at the end of Ultraxion

6 dps: Any type of dps is fine, as long as they deal the necessary dps which i will continue on below. Though soaking the Hour of Twilights you need a few classes able to do that. We used 3 grps which contained:

Grp1: Our warrior tank (Shield wall) and a rogue (Feint or Cloak of Shadows)
Grp2: Two hunters both used Deterrence
Grp3: Paladin tank and feral druid. Barkskin works fine if you enter bearform first, as i found it hard to stay alive with just barkskin in cat.

On 10 man heroic the health pool of Ultraxion is 72 million (After the nerf ofc). The enrage timer is 6 minutes and if we assume the tanks do 10.000 dps each the equation will look like following:
((72.000.000/6*60)-20.000)/ 6 or 5 depending on your amount of damage dealers that equals = 30.000 with 6 and 36.000 dps with 5.

Commento di Wolvigar

I'd like to point out that, for Unholy Death Knights, using Anti-Magic Shell from the beginning, and then every time it's off of cool-down would be a very good idea. The periodic AoE he does is counted as a magic attack, which you can absorb and turn into runic power, if you're spec'd into Magic Suppression. You'll keep getting full bars of runic power until after Anti-Magic Shell is over, meaning you can continually cast Death Coil for more damage on Ultraxion.

I believe Ultraxion is on the same difficulty of easy as Morchok. Here was my group set up for 10 man heroic with me as their Paladin healer.

Tanks:
Druid
Death Knight

Healers:
Paladin
Shaman

DPS:
Shaman
Rogue
Hunter
Mage
Druid

Assigned to take hits:
Group 1: Paladin, Death Knight
Group 2: Druid(tank), Hunter
Group 3: Rogue, Druid(dps)

A warning for Paladin Healers: If you use your bubble after you've gained a crystal, the crystal effect WILL disappear, as it's a "debuff." I found this out the hard way, and so they put me onto the first Twilight. It took less healing. On the second go around, our Mage would Ice Block through the Twilight. Glyphing for your Divine Protection is very crucial if you're looking to take the Twilight without the bubble, since Twilight is magical and not physical. Since our Shaman and Druid didn't have very good defensive CD's, I used my Hand of Sacrifice on our Druid or our Shaman (depending on which went in) to increase their survivability.

Healing this was a piece of cake, honestly. It's no harder than regular, just more health and having an assignment to groups, and assignments to crystals.

We popped Heroism right at the start, with both our healers phased out (via clicking button) so that the healers would get the Hero towards the end, since we were killing him in under 10 minutes.

For those with important/helpful 4 sets, Shamans, Priests, and Druids:
Save your bonuses, totems and Tranquility for towards the end (unneeded before Ultraxion gets low on health, and unsure if CDs would be up if used beforehand.)

Note: If a 3rd (or more) people stay out for Hour of Twilight, you're toast (dead)!

Soloed as a 541 blood dk in dps gear, pretty easy when you get the timing for Fading Light down, only way to live it and not get ultra to blow up is to hit your button at 0 seconds. Past that it's just a damage race and stay alive challenge, happy hunting!

Commento di Esploratore

Soloed as blood dk in 510 dps gear in patch 5.3, was probably doable with 495 or less, was pretty easy for me, BUT as of 5.4, vengeance has been nerfed, and the requirement became higher.

In 5.4 the least I was able to do it with (without buffs though) was 518 item level with 528 weapon, every minute that passes he deals more damage, so the fight becomes more challenging as it goes on.

It's very important to use AMS on cd, not only because almost all damage is magical on this fight, but also to get runic power with it, which translates into dps with a lot of rune strikes.

Important glyph is regenerative magic, reduces AMS cd by up to 50% depending on the amount absorbed, and in the first part of the fight this will really be useful.

DRW becomes a really strong dps cd with a duration of 24 sec with 45 sec cd, and you should aim to use AMS as much as possible in all moments EXCEPT hour of twilight. yes, the most damaging ability at 85 in groups is now the least problem, you should NEVER use AMS during HoT. Just 1-2 sec after.

If you're undergeared and the fight is taking over 5 mins, you can use the special button to survive the damage until AMS or IBF get ready if they're on cd, it's a strategy.

Record? Main dk with 554 dps gear, 2 mins and 38 kill. Other dks take 4 mins 30-5 mins.

Not sure what is happening but a little bit after his first hour of twilight I am getting insta gibbed.

Could be that I am a monk and somehow that effects fading light but can't say for sure.

Damn, this guy has such a good voice. So perfect timbre...

Soloable by a Disc Priest on 10N difficulty. (My gear is approx. i581-582, however.)

This fight is essentially a DPS check (6-minute enrage timer), but you don't necessarily need BiS gear to beat it as a Disc. To give you an idea, I killed the boss in <4 minutes at my gear level, so there was definitely room to spare. However, this fight definitely gets easier with gear/DPS. Each minute that the fight goes on, Ultraxion's damage ramps up. Preferably you can kill him before the 5-minute mark where the damage starts to get very high (200k+ per second). I presume that glyphing Inner Sanctum reduces this damage by 6%. You could drop Glyph of Penance for this fight if you wanted to because there's really not any running around, but I'd keep Smite for the extra DPS.

It's basically a tank and spank/heal, and the only real trick is to watch your debuffs! When you get the 10-sec Fading Light debuff, hit your Extra Action Button with like ONE second left on Fading Light. The reason why I say ONE second is because you are unable to cast spells/heals while in the Normal realm (so there's no need to hit it too soon). In my experience, he tends to cast Fading Light twice in a row (pay attention!) before giving it 30-40 sec rest.

Good luck on your mount chance. :)

I thought Sindragosa's voice was bad, but at least she was a hilarious kind of bad. Ultraxion's voice simply sounds baaaaaad.

Commento di Grummulthrus

Currently (6.0.2) not soloable on 25, even normal, without very good RNG and very good gear (585+). At 575 I can't even get close with a flask + potion.

Commento di S0L0

Just in case it wasn't apparent for any rogues chasing their fangs, spec in to Shuriken Toss for pre Ultraxion trash. :-)

Commento di Kaiasha

Just a warning, this guy is a bit tough when soloing heroic, you have to burn his 6.6 million HP in a course of a minute, all the while keeping yourself alive. Alternatively you could get a partner.

Commento di WTBaggrodump

I just solo'd this on 10M Heroic as an ilvl 547 Arms Warrior. It was kind of a tight fit (about 5 seconds left), but I managed to pull it off. Big suggestion to any other Warriors who plan to solo this on heroic, make sure you spec into Aria di Sfida, as Ultraxion hits pretty damn hard and you can easily sustain yourself with the leech effect. I was also spec'd into , which I popped before using my Colpo del Colosso/Dardo della Tempesta cast sequence macro to inflict as much damage as I could at regular intervals. I can post the macro incase any other Arms Warriors are interested. Best of luck!

P.S. Make sure to pre-pot and try to pool up some rage near the end so you can quickly finish him off with Esecuzione spam or else you might not make the enrage timer.

Warriors Glifo Carbonizzato helps a ton with the drakes.

Commento di hobbesmarcus

If you are doing this on 25-man do it with at least three players or have kickass dps.

I went in on a poorly-geared 90 rogue (who was going for the legendaries as I imagine many people are) and my friend who was 98 and Ultraxion cast Hour of Twilight. We both used cooldowns and didn't go in to the other realm.

However, if Hour of Twilight does not hit at least three people he will then cast Twilight Eruption which has a five second cast and wipes the raid. We wiped a couple of times, then did better dps and lived.

So if you go with less than three people you have to kill him shortly after he casts Hour of Twilight or else it's game over.

Good luck!

Hunter Solo guide for 25HC (630+ gear)
Go marksman, get a nether ray for heroism.
Talents: Exhiliration, Lone Wolf, Thrill of the hunt, Stampede.
Before pull, pop ancient hysteria with the ray, dismiss him and turn in multistrike buff from LW.
Under 85%, pop rapid fire and spam aimed shot.
When you go below 100k hp, use exhiliration and other healing cooldowns you have (potions etc.)
You need to pull at least 300k dps to avoid twilight eruption but with this talent setup you will not live that long but you don't need to, this you should do a solid 500k+ dps with these talents.

Good luck.

Commento di Seahnjin

This guy is pretty frustrating when you're soloing. The fact that his attack around the one minute mark is an instant kill feels like artificial difficulty. I barely managed to down him in 25-man as a ilvl 619 rogue, but LFR is a no-go, I'm guessing that's because there is no zone-wide debuff decreasing his HP. It's unfortunate because I love the LFR skins of a lot of the weapons there. This plus the overall low drop rate... Ah well. I'll get better gear once I have more time to play.

Commento di squirrely101

Soloable as a ilvl 636 ret pally @100 ----25man

First attempt failed because i didnt know the mechanics and died at twilight
second attempt i downed him as he was casting it. I did have to pop heal a couple times but fairly easy as ret

Commento di Rizzwhit

Important note: attempting to solo this is a DPS race, since at 45 seconds he will automatically cast Hour of Twilight, which will shatter the Aspects' shield and cause him to start casting his raidwipe suicide ability.

Commento di b1sojf91

Zerged Ultraxion down in 35 seconds... 664 ilvl... 532k dps
SV Hunter with pet... popped a draenic agility potion at the beginning... and used my Oralius Whispering Crystal... spammed Explosive and Arcane Shot... didn't bother with Barrage... used Focusing Shot for focus build

Commento di neiljwd

EDIT: For some reason 5.4 and above comments weren't loading for me and this info is just a repeat of above.

If you're trying to solo this guy on 25 man, the reason you may be wiping is Hour of Twilight.

In 10-man difficulty, at least 1 player must remain within the Twilight Realm and take damage from this ability, otherwise the raid will instantly wipe. In 25-man, 3 players must do the same.

So you need to DPS Ultraxion down before he finishes his cast of Hour of Twilight or Twilight Eruption WILL wipe you.

As a Further note, I just did this on my paladin and the fight took 47 seconds, I did 237k DPS, and killed him halfway through Ultraxions cast of Twilight Eruption, so that's literally the barest minimum needed DPS to down this boss on 25man normal.

Commento di SardonicScribe

So um...I just did it on 25 with a meager 604 item level. BM Hunter. Got him down while he was casting. Who knew?

Commento di dustdog

Like many others, I was having trouble soloing Ultraxion on heroic 25, after many wipes with 651 ilvl with him around 15% or less HP I ended up managing with a little bit of extra outside help. Most people have the reusable flask, but there's more power you can give yourself, and no doubt others I've forgotten, but I went with these:

Oralius' Whispering Crystal - Your standard cheapskate reusable flask for WoD
The Protectors of Hyjal - Entering the quest area will spawn NPC's that give you the 5% stats buff
Mecha Blast Rocket - Instant cast consumable item that can be found in blingtron packages or crafted by engineers, also the AH. At 100 this did around 8% damage to Ultraxion on 25H without further damage amplifications for me.

Commento di stym

in 25H mode this is currently a pretty tight DPS race (he will wipe you shortly after the first hour of twilight).

At ilvl 665, Destruction Warlock with 655 weapon and trinkets I wiped on my first try at 1%.
I then used a flask, food and prepot and downed him in 44 seconds.
This is going to be progressively easier during the expansion, and a breeze for everyone after patch 6.2

Commento di huldu

If you're attempting to solo this at 25hc(lvl100), you *need* to be able to do 300k+ dps to kill him before he kills you. It's that simple, no shortcuts.

<edit> The guy above says 350+ but that wasn't the case for me, 300k+ was enough.

Commento di 1482722

I was kinda sweating it before the pull. If your H BRF geared, this fight is very trivial. Setup for single-target dps and burst him down. With Sanctified Wrath and Seraphim, I was pulling over 900k dps. Encounter was over in 19 secs. Thanks all for the read ahead!

Commento di BarlowTheSeeker

I was able to solo him on 25M Heroic as a 100 ilevel 665 Warlock.

And it was close. He almost went boom and killed me. I had some cheap buffs on so, with a good flask and food it would have been less close. Really all the strategy is is to just hammer him down with DPS.

If you are not a DPS class, this is either impossible or very difficult because you cannot survive his ultimate attack.

Commento di Nightpawz

Soloed him on 25H. Died twice before changing talents and buffing up more carefully. Fairly straightforward DPS burn. Pop everything! :)

Commento di RiyanGarrosh

For my fellow 100s looking to solo this....
First of all, you have to speak to Kalecgos at the top of the tower to begin the encounter. This is actually the bit of info I was initially looking for.
Second, kill the drakes flying around the edge during the initial phase to provide enough room to move around and not get killed by the purple-pools-of-death. I'm a rogue, and simply spamming Throw was enough.
Once you kill the adds and actually get to Ultraxion, the adds will NOT respawn.... so if you're having problems, just use whatever CDs and buffs you have available to get through the initial phase and then you can pick up with the boss if you die and have to re-enter the instance.
Third, Ultraxion himself is a very simple tank-and-spank fight. I had him down within a few seconds.
Hope this helps

Warriors: taunting the drakes before ultraxion makes them come down to fight you. Makes it much easier to clear the ramp of all that purple crap without having to spam heroic throw and stormbolt.

Commento di Graxathil

He's now very difficult to solo in 25H. With my 650 shadowpriest, I get him ~~to about 30% (around 50 seconds)~~ pretty low, before he suddenly casts Twilight Eruption for seemingly no reason other than deny me my mount drops. :<

<DBM> Combat against 25 Player - Ultraxion (5%) ended after 59.71 seconds.

Commento di Tassit

Oddly enough, LFR is harder than 25H since the patch.

Commento di HeKol

On an average of 10 runs Ultraxion 25HC rewards 150 gold and 35 silver after vendoring dropped gear.

Commento di Johnsphil

With the stat squish of 8.0.1 is this still solo-able before the one shot mechanic?

Commento di Currently

So, I have been running Dragon Soul for the Blazing Drake mount. Upon starting the Ultraxion fight I killed him IMMEDIATELY as he spawned. This resulted in me not being able to open the chest and get any loot. This is the first time this has ever happened to me, it may just be a one off. Keep this in mind if you're trying for the mount from him. I never got the loot later in the mail, either.

Mostruosità Instabile – La crescente instabilità del crepuscolo genera archi d'energia crepuscolare dalla pelle di Ultraxion. Gli archi infliggono 872 danni da ombra ogni 6 s, divisi tra i personaggi nel Reame del Crepuscolo ed entro 30 m dal bersaglio.
Per ogni minuto in cui Ultraxion è in combattimento, l'intervallo tra gli archi si riduce di 1 s, fino a un massimo di 1 arco ogni secondo. Inoltre, l'instabilità impedisce a Ultraxion di parare gli attacchi.
Mutamento Crepuscolare – All'inizio della battaglia, Ultraxion attira tutti i personaggi con sé nel Reame del Crepuscolo, dove subiscono la pienezza dei suoi potenti attacchi crepuscolari. Il Reame del Crepuscolo fornisce ai personaggi l'abilità Volontà Eroica.
- Volontà Eroica – Volontà Eroica permette al personaggio di resistere alle forze del Crepuscolo. Ciò rimuove il personaggio dal Reame del Crepuscolo per 5 sec, ma gli impedisce di attaccare, lanciare incantesimi o muoversi.
Luce Calante – Ultraxion risucchia la luce dal bersaglio attuale e da un bersaglio casuale, trascinandoli nel Crepuscolo in 5-10 s. Al termine dell'effetto, i personaggi nel Reame del Crepuscolo muoiono all'istante. I personaggi nel reame normale entrano forzatamente nel Reame del Crepuscolo e vengono afflitti da Proiezione nel Crepuscolo.
In modalità Normale da 25 giocatori, Ultraxion risucchia la luce da tre personaggi casuali.
In modalità Eroica da 10 giocatori, Ultraxion risucchia la luce da due personaggi casuali.
In modalità Eroica da 25 giocatori, Ultraxion risucchia la luce da sei personaggi casuali.
In modalità Ricerca delle Incursioni, Ultraxion risucchia la luce solo al bersaglio attuale.
- Proiezione nel Crepuscolo – Gli effetti residui del Crepuscolo causano l'azzeramento della minaccia contro Ultraxion. Inoltre, non si genera minaccia per 5 sec.
  In modalità Eroica, i personaggi subiscono il 100% di danni fisici aggiuntivi per 5 sec, invece di non generare minaccia.
Ora del Crepuscolo – L'Ora del Crepuscolo scocca per i nemici di Ultraxion. I personaggi nel Reame del Crepuscolo subiscono 249 danni da ombra non resistibili. I personaggi nel reame normale entrano nel Reame del Crepuscolo. Se Ora del Crepuscolo non colpisce un personaggio, gli Aspetti subiscono l'attacco. Questo distrugge lo scudo che protegge gli Aspetti e preannuncia la fine della vita su Azeroth.
In modalità Normale da 25 giocatori, se Ora del Crepuscolo colpisce meno di tre personaggi, gli Aspetti subiscono tutti i danni dell'attacco.
In modalità Eroica da 10 giocatori, se Ora del Crepuscolo colpisce meno di due personaggi, gli Aspetti subiscono tutti i danni dell'attacco.
In modalità Eroica da 25 giocatori, se Ora del Crepuscolo colpisce meno di cinque personaggi, gli Aspetti subiscono tutti i danni dell'attacco.
In modalità Ricerca delle Incursioni, gli Aspetti non subiscono mai i danni dell'attacco.
- Oscurità Minacciosa – Quando viene colpita da Ora del Crepuscolo, potenti ondate d'energia crepuscolare attraversano la vittima, rendendola più suscettibile agli effetti dannosi di Ora del Crepuscolo. I personaggi muoiono all'istante se Ora del Crepuscolo infligge loro danni aggiuntivi.
Ora del Crepuscolo – L'Ora del Crepuscolo scocca per i nemici di Ultraxion. I personaggi nel Reame del Crepuscolo subiscono 249 danni da ombra non resistibili. I personaggi nel reame normale entrano nel Reame del Crepuscolo.
Scarica Crepuscolare – Se tutti i personaggi stanno al di fuori della portata dei suoi potenti artigli, Ultraxion rilascia una potente scarica crepuscolare. La scarica infligge 62 danni da ombra non resistibili a tutti i personaggi e aumenta i danni magici subiti del 50% per 6 sec. Si accumula.
Eruzione Crepuscolare – Dopo 6 min, l'instabilità di Ultraxion raggiunge livelli incontenibili ed erompe verso l'esterno in un'esplosione che distrugge tutti i personaggi vicini e Ultraxion stesso.
Se lo scudo che circonda gli Aspetti cede in un momento qualsiasi dell'incontro, Ultraxion innesca immediatamente Eruzione Crepuscolare.
