Firelands Trash Farming - Mage Guide

[nickelswim123]

why do you need shannox dead?

[musical1artist]

Is there a suggested minimum ilvl? Cause u said almost any 85mage can do it, and I was wondering if like, below 350 is still good enough, can u even enter the instance with that? Did blizz make an ilvl lockout? Im 345, is that ok enough? Just take longer?

[Fullmasta]

@musical1artist

Any ilvl would have been fine, as it would only take longer and all the snaring would remain the same.

The instance has been fixed now so that all these mobs move faster and are not slowable, specifically to prevent solo trash farming. :(

[fifi0204]

kann essein das das ganricht mehr machbar ist weil die mobs viel zu schnelol laufen also ich konnte nicht vor denen weglaufen

[1xristos1]

You need to farm this in 25man Raid their are not epic loots in 10man version. Check wowhead

[jmzfrostmane]

@1xristos1

lol its alot of epic drops at 10man :P

[namelesss7]

hmmm i think im doing it kinda wrong.

turtles are np but the scorpions get to me just after the pull so all i can do is cast living bomb on the big one and blast wave in the center.

they seem burning, but they are still much faster than me so i get killed instantly...

can u help pls? and link ur build?

[Fullmasta]

@namelesss7

Sorry to say but they recently buffed the movement speed of most mobs in the zone to stop exactly this. :( Scorps included.

[C0Jproductions]

What do you mean strafe key?:p bit noobish sorry;D

[C0Jproductions]

How do you run like you always do and cast Blast Wave?

I dont get it and can't do i, i am pressing A + Right mousekey can when i need to place blast wave i need to stop or walk backwards to cast it?!?! please help

[Fullmasta]

@C0Jproductions

Notsureifseriousbut use a strafe key instead of doing it like that if you need to.

[hatafritjof]

Can you do a simple video of showing how you get in to the trash?

[carljr82]

Hey guy thanks for the video! I was trying this as arcane and had less spectacular results, after seein your vid and tweaking my offspec, and wiping a few times, I'm doin the kinda pulls I dreamed of. Thanks so much! Great video and very informative! A+++

[markons82]

Managed to kite them, but many times they get me, need to practice.Im getting getter at this, killed them 15x times ( havent got a single epic ). and i noticed something strange, it takes me 5-7min to kill them and bu the time i kill last small add ( i use invisibility when i have only big one left ) , 2 first scorpions i killed are gone ( bodies )... :(

[Fullmasta]

@markons82

It's okay if something despawns - if they do that means they didn't have epics on them. They will stay forever if there's a "real" item on them.

[ShinTy73r]

Are you able to get epics from all of these mobs or is it from only the bigger scorpion and the turtles?

[Fullmasta]

@ShinTy73r

All mobs, though they've nerf'd all trash drop rates now.

[MiniDemon333]

i have tried about 50 times and every time i die, i cant seem to keep them far enough away.

[MiniDemon333]

@MiniDemon333 ilvl367 ms arcane so i made up a fire spec and even got lavawalker for extra run speed but they were always to close.

[Fullmasta]

@MiniDemon333

Do you have imp blink and blink glyphed in your spec? Have blastwave glyphed? If you have all of that and are trying to copy what I'm doing then your only issue is you're making your kiting circle too small. You need to go in larger arcs. If they're ever getting too close and both CDs are used, just turn and run away from them in a strait line. Having run speed to boots will help you if you're having issues as well.

[markons82]

I play as moonkin but i also have 5 other lvl85 that i dont play that much.So my question might be stupid for some but here it goes. Can you please tell me if there is some special rotation?What do u use and when? It will help me a lot:) Thanks

Btw nice video. thumbs up

[Fullmasta]

@markons82

As a moonkin? It would be some combination of speccing into the +30% movement speed for cat, multi-dotting and swapping into cat, getting distance, dotting, cat etc.

What other 85s do you have? If one of them is a shammy with any sort of resto or ele gear it's the best class to do this with by far. You spec it elemental, get all the Pyro lord packs up into one group, keep flame shocking multidot, fire nova on CD, ghost wolf when they get close, etc; it's the quickest clear of all.

[markons82]

@Fullmasta

you miss understood :) I can solo them as moonkin, its not that hard, lots on kiting, placing shoorom in from of you, typhoone to knock them back, change to cat and run if they get closer, but it takes too long :) I was asking as a fire mage :) I dont know right combination. When i cast what, when i place bomb and on who and stuff like that :)

And i have lock, warrior and dk ( + mage and druid )

[Fullmasta]

@markons82

Ah, I see. You pull with pyro, then run away, always spamming scorch waiting for a pyro/impact proc. Just LB your main target and impact will proc eventually, spread it like that. If your main target gets alot lower then the others just swap to a different one. (Scorpions move slower when injured, making it annoying to kite when two halves move at different speeds). Use a combust when you've had a few crits in a row and impact is up. Very simple.

[markons82]

@Fullmasta

thanks a lot :) I was wondering why some scorpions lag behind :) Was getting me out of combat every single time ;) Will try it now,when i get home :) Again, thanks for help and fast answer.

[xXCobalt]

how long does it take for the trash to respawn?

[Fullmasta]

@xXCobalt

It doesn't need to. You just zone out, reset all instances, and zone back in.

[xXCobalt]

@Fullmasta how do you reset the instance? sorry ><

[Fullmasta]

@xXCobalt

Right click your character frame and hit "reset all instances".

[xXCobalt]

@Fullmasta alright, cool. thanks man

[bpmill7]

FUCK THE ROCKY TERRAIN



[jakjak090]

Thanks alot for this. Going to try it out now with a friend.

[Ta1337o]

Hey mate, thanks for teaching me this. Had a stroke of luck earlier today, in 1 hour I found 3 items worth around 60k together. How much have you earned through this, and how rich are you atm? :)

[Outcast6661]

Why does Shannox need to be dead?

[Fullmasta]

@Outcast6661

Alot of trash is tied to him. Otherwise there's molten lords and Ancient Core Hounds all over and in your way.

[Ta1337o]

Thanks for the response. Been having fun with this. About 25-30 runs done, found a semi-shitty tank ring and nothing else so far, so my luck has to be turning soon! :D

[Ta1337o]

How long does a pack usually take you? I usually need to kill them one at a time while kiting, can't get enough AoE damage around to damage them in a balanced manner. Is this normal? :)

[Fullmasta]

@Ta1337o

About 5 minutes a pack using 2 combustions. It is a little slow going, but just keep LB up on at least 3 and swap to the higher targets for scorch when you current is noticeably lower while hoping for pyro procs. It's faster overall then killing them one by one.

[ihack3dyourmom]

thanks for the video, learned a lot

[xGmart]

awesome vid

-Tunechi

[TheRevolutionPlayer]

Oh my.... 18k crit aoe? Oh well... So today i've tried to farm scorpions but i can't do them because they reach me easily. I don't know what to do!

[Tibzqt1]

@TheRevolutionPlayer You need to put more room in between you and the scorpions, also use blastwave and blink in a rotation like he mentions.

[TheRevolutionPlayer]

@Tibzqt1 I made it! XD thank's very much!
