DarthMat Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) at first, I thought my group just had really good dps..... but I heard others are managing it now too lol.. myself and a few friends have been killing malgus before the 3rd solo fight even starts. is this just normal for people now? I've done this twice in the last week. This fight wasn't that difficult to begin with. The only reason I can see a nerf in this fp is because it was a pain sometimes pulling malgus to the edge.

This is quite normal, it has been this way for a while, people just overgear the instance now. You can actually kill him with only 1 solo fight if you have good geared DPS.

Never_Hesitate Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We can kill Malgus in 30s. Just let the tank stand on one side of the hole, the dps'/heal on the very edge of the other side and wait for Malgus' first jump ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but this has nothing to do with DPS, just exploiting the mechanics of the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMat Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 we actually tried that trick the other day and it didn't work. placement might have been bad idk. I haven't seen a successful attempt yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it quite doable when the last duel is with a good geared DPS and Malgus is slightly above 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATAMIANM Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I was in a group a while back and this trick definitely worked. The tank went to the upper right corner, the rest of us stayed on the opposite corner (with entrance to back of us). It took a couple of minutes but Malgus indeed jumped to his death.

mikebevo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah the trick requires the entire group to be in the correct place (or get lucky), personally on dps he is so easy now I prefer to just kill him and as a healer I am never comfortable with the tank out of my range. It is more of a headache to me to get people in the right place and having them stay there until the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyfanatic Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I tanked HM this week and to my suprise we downed him right before we needed to move him. That has never happened before, and yes we were a bit over geared- Campaign/Hazmaat. Did they change the fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadecounty Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I tanked HM this week and to my suprise we downed him right before we needed to move him. That has never happened before, and yes we were a bit over geared- Campaign/Hazmaat. Did they change the fight? No, the way the fight works, he will call someone out to duel every so often. During the time before the duel but after you've been warned the duel is coming, and during the duel itself, he can be killed by being brought to 0 HP. During the time just after a duel, but before he has called someone else out for a duel, if he's brought to 10% HP or lower he will become invincible and have to be knocked off. Easy trick to ensure you kill him without having to knock him off, bring him to 11% HP and stop DPS until he calls someone out for a duel, then burn him.

Given these flashpoints are designed for people in Tionese/Columni gear it doesn't surprise me people are blowing through them wearing Black Hole / Dread Guard Gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniz Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 first time our guild group killed him with out pushing him off was late last summer. bh gear has made the end game much simpler for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinSpaghetti Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 first time our guild group killed him with out pushing him off was late last summer. bh gear has made the end game much simpler for many. I downed him on my sent in a PuG before the push off stage months ago, I don't think they've changed anything just most are now going above the DPS threshold for that fight. They should add some bonus loot to his body if you can DPS him before he becomes invulnerable, like a new pet or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
