Heroic Black Stalker - Underbog

On the 2 bog lords we normally have a hunter pull one, and jump off the edge to the left and keep running, then eventually feign death.

Tricky part is that when the bog lords comes back, he will attackk the healer from beneith.
Even before he starts on the ramp.
When healing I normally bubble myself, will try to do the same on the priest, or will their own bubble be sufficient ?

I've only done him on heroic once and he sucked.

Basically I went all out and just made sure to try and taunt adds or drop a consecration on them, and to bubble the healer if need be.

In the end of the day it was my divine shield, a mana pot and hammer of wrath that won the day.

Biggest thing that helps on this boss is nature resist on everyone else; just getting a hunter with aspect of the wild, or a shaman with a nature resist totem can turn this fight from hellish, to easy-mode.

I know that this probably isn't the best way to do it, but bubbling out of levitate has always worked well for my group (it tends to be the same guys over and over). I fall, BoP the healer and let the hunter's pet get chewed up a little while we DPS him down, and throw out a Righteous Defense when I need to. A bit chaotic, but so far it's panned out well. Obviously having a pet or someone who can offtank for a few seconds helps (or even making sure your rogue/hunter/whomever can live through a hit)

Out of curiosity, why don't people kill the adds? It seems like on a group that isn't overgeared, that would be the better strategy.

We did it last night, and we got him down on the second try. In retrospect, though, it was the adds that were the problem, and we probably could have spared 1 DPS to avoid all those adds running around.

The boss is also pretty weak it makes for a faster fight just to nuke it and let the adds vanish when it dies.
Can also get two sets of adds in quick succession - it's just a waste of time.

Every time we do this boss we just nuke the boss down and ignore the adds. I also find the best way to prevent evades is to tank him right in the center of the room, with your back facing one of the side walls and not the entrance/exit. Although sometimes he does leviate you at his sides, but most of the time he flings you forward/backward of the direction he is facing, so you want to position him so your front and back are facing the side walls. For threat issues I tend to make sure consecrate is always up under his feet, as for a final boss he doesn't really hit that hard, so the DPS can go all out.

As for the 2 bog lords before the first boss, I have always tanked both of them. I AS the skull marked one, and as soon as they walk into my consecrate everyone starts nuking. We've always treat it as a DPS race before the healer runs out of mana spamming max heals. It's just a lot more simpler than having a hunter/mage kite it downstairs with a lot more things to go wrong, unless you have a really undergeared healer.
