The final boss in Ramparts is scheduled for a beat-down.. On Warcraft Episode “Ramparts. Vazruden and Nazan” Mark: Welcome back to On Warcraft on On Networks. I am Mark Major. Arwyn: I am Arwyn Wheats. Mark: And we are going to take you through the last part of the ramparts, part three with Vazruden the dragon rider and Nazou, naza… Arwyn: Nazan. Mark: Nazan. Arwyn: His little friend. Mark: His little ridden friend who he rides on, because he is a rider on the storm. Alright let’s kill some dragons. Arwyn: Alrighty. Mark: Alrighty. Arwyn: I’m ready. Mark: I’m ready, to get through this rampart. Arwyn: Cool, awesome. Well if you are ready then you have probably brought your fire resist gear. And this is the one for it. That’s right because the dragon itself spits fire. Mark: Shocker. Arwyn: Right, so there is a lot of fire damage in this fight. The first thing you need to know heading to him, is and mind you, you already killed the other bosses and trash, if not everything. You have two guys to kill at the beginning of the bridge. And then the next two guys at the bottom of the bridge directly below the dragon and its rider, they start the event. So make sure you know this going in, because otherwise when you start the event it is really a kind of shocker. Mark: That’s right don’t alert the little guys until you are ready to rock. Arwyn: That’s right, it’s the second guys. You can keep them sheathed, spirit regen or do anything else to get your mana and your health back up. And once their dead you have about 1.5 seconds to drink if you haven’t, if you have got someone who maybe killed a sheep to fast or something like that. You have got a really, really short window to drink. Mark: Yeah that’s not a lot of time. Arwyn: Not a lot of time but if your really on the ball you can do it. Mark: I know a guy who can put a pint down in a second so. Arwyn: 1.5 seconds flat? One second flat? Mark: One second flat, just open u the throat and bam down it goes. Arwyn: He could do another half then. Mark: He could. Arwyn: So uh once you are up to full health and mana and everything. This is where you are going to want to engage and the dragon. Now originally you have the dragon and the rider swooping around. He guy who comes down first is the rider. I guess he paratroops off or something. Mark: He jumps off. Arwyn: He just kind of comes down to kill you. I wish it were that combatic. It would really make the instance a lot more interesting. As it I he just kind of comes down and runs to you. Yeah it is not very showy at all, he is not very limber. So you want the tank to taunt him immediately. Because having killed the first two guys, no one is agro the boss yet. He is going to the healer, always. Everyone loves the healer. Who doesn’t? So you want to make sure he taunts off. You want to make sure that while the dragonling is circling around. Mark: Is this a real dragon or just a dragonling? Arwyn: He is a real dragon, he is bonafide, fire spitting, floating in the air, the whole nine yards. But while he is circling around he is spitting fire down on you. While your killing his rider. I guess he likes being ridden. So he is really attached to this guy, he is going to try to protect him. At about 20 percent the dragon will land and he will come try to beat you up himself. Mark: He is done calling in air strikes he is going to make it personal. Arwyn: Right. Now the thing about him, you still need to be killing, what is he, Vazruden? Mark: Vazruden. Arwyn: Vazruden the herald. You need to still kill the guy even while your tank immediately taunts the dragon, because he will go after the healer. Mark: He will rock your world. Arwyn: He likes bar b qued healer and he takes it raw or whatever. So make sure to taught him off your healer or whatever. And kill the guy. Start on the dragon, the dragon breaths fire. Mark: The guy should be pretty much dead. Arwyn: The guy should be that’s the point, if you have done anything in your job right. But if you re coming at a level 56, you might have a tougher time bringing them both down. But still just, you get the job done, so he breaths the fire of cone. The dragon does. Mark: Cone of fire? Arwyn: Fire of cone. Mark: Fire of cone. Wow that’s a new one. Arwyn: It’s kind of funky actually. Yeah he throws cones at you, they are pointy. Cone of fire, are you happy? Cone of fire, which means if you face the dragon stay from you party members, they don’t get hit with your fire. So you have got to have a tank that is kind of on the ball, knows how to position the bosses and things like that. If the tank does get in the fire, he can strafe. You know side to side running, strafing means side to side and shoot. Mark: I know I know that. Arwyn: So he can run out of the way of the fire cone, and he can also run in between the dragons legs to get out of fire. That is the same with other melee. Now if your melee DPS, you should not be in front of the dragon. Mark: No you want to be behind the dragon, away from the action end. Arwyn: Aim for the tail. Aim, well on your point of view I don’t know, but aim for the tail. Mark: That’s a different game. Arwyn: If you are melee just hit him in the butt basically. Everyone else should be ranged and vanishing themselves because especially on a lower level group like 56 going on forward. You are going to make sure that your healers are just healing your tank. It is a tough fight, if you are at that level. Mark: There is lots of hurting going around. Arwyn: Lots of hurting, so again, fire resist gear is going to be helpful. The other thing that is going on while the cone of fire is being spat upon and the guys are moving around. He is still going to be throwing out rings of fire that stick to individuals and it is like napalm. So if you get hit by one of those. It smells like defeat if you stay in it. Mark: Depends on your point of view I guess. Arwyn: Well for the dragon yeah, so run out of those fires and you should be fine. They do a lot of damage tick for tick; just run away have your DPS bandage yourself. If you are the healer obviously heal yourself. But keep your focus mainly on the tank, because they are going to be in a world of pain. Mark: Yes they are a world of pain. Arwyn: Get through the fight, a fiery world of pain. It kind of has a warm burn. It’s nice, it a good hurt. If something happens and you wipe on this fight, you can reset it. There is a big curly horn on the side of the ring. Mark: Ricolla. Arwyn: Right the problem is if you actually succeed, the box drops with the fat loot in it, and someone blows the horn, loot first. Because if that horn gets blown dragon is back in the sky and his box is gone. Mark: And your like what, what, oh oww it burns. Arwyn: So you got to do it again. Aw the pain, aw the atmosphere. So you have to do it again if you do blow the horn. So it’s a failsafe, but if you got four morons in your party, the same guys that forgot to loot the other two bosses. Mark: No well I didn’t, they are running around naked and they are blowing horns and pulling switches. Arwyn: You know the ones. G kick. So once you have got the guy down obviously loot, don’t blow the horn unless you mean it. Right and from there you are golden. This is the last guy. He drops the last quest item that you need, the other two that you have collected. And he also drops a new quest item. Mark: Right to start you off on a new path to glory. Arwyn: That’s right, hats going to lead you straight over to the blood furnace, which is the next instance in this hellfire citadel complex that you have been fighting in. So that is a pretty cool thing. Mark: That is very cool, so to wrap it up. Arwyn: Right o’ what we are going to do is head in there, fire resist gear. Mark: Fire resist that. Arwyn: The dragon is a fire spitter. He is a spitter. Mark: He is a fire starter. So make sure you are resisting that fire, you are staying out of the fire when he doe spit on you. Run away from it. And if you are the tank face him away from your party so you are the only one facing that fire. Let everyone else hit the butt. And then loot the box; it has got your fat loot in it. Don’t blow the horn until you need to. The horn resets. Mark: That is a good life principle I think. Arwyn: Don’t group with morons too. Mark: Alright so you have gone through the ramparts, hit the Omor, hit Gargamel, and hit the dragon rider dude, what comes next? Arwyn: Well with all those quest done you’re going to return back into your little town, which ever which on you are. And this quest is going to send you to the blood furnace. Mark: Awesome! Arwyn: Hellfire part 2. Mark: Hellfire. Arwyn: So another part of the citadel, more loot more xp, more reputation. It’s not easy to get too though. Mark: Yeah it is kind of a pain, you got to go around and over the. Arwyn: Over the river and through the woods, but grandma does not live here. So in the next episode we will tell you how to get to it because it is a little bit convoluted. Mark: So stay tuned for the next episode.
