Visath the Frightened feedback

[Tysin]

Again, not sure there's a problem with this encounter, but thought I'd start a thread to capture feedback.

Visath the frightened was/is tough because of the adds and the time to catch them before they get to Visath and kill him.
When I did the encounter with 12, I had a warrior and pally - but no clicky AE agro items.

The time to gather the adds before they get to Visath is minimal and with the mem blur, it makes things like rampage or whirlwind not very useful as they didn't refresh fast enough. I think the pally had a similiar problem.

Doing it with T8 agro clickies (technically after you've meant to move on from the encounter) made it doable. Having an SK also made it a lot easier. Given it's place in the tier structure - this was doable but I had a lot of failures. Given that sort of pain, I skipped it once I got a couple of key bits and didn't come back. Again, not sure it's an issue, be interesting to hear if others do the encounter often or not.

No. I did Visath two times, got lucky with the drops that I wanted, and never did it again (I did every other encounter in the zone at least 10 times). IMO this is the hardest encounter in the zone by a large margin.

The orc mother hits really, really hard. Wayyyy harder than anything else in T7 and probably most T8 bosses. It's hard to focus your attention on those mem-wiping adds when your tank's health-bar constantly flirting with death. The fight is a nightmare and I am grateful that two kills was all that was necessary for me to get the drops that I wanted (sword, fang, arms, darter stone, earring).

I solved the mem-wiping adds problem by having four wizards insta-delete them, which eliminates the need to hold aggro.

I may be misremembering/confusing the mother with the father. One or both of them hit pretty hard.

The key is just dps'ing the adds as fast as you can. Keep the tank on Mother and Father.
