Pyrique Redwing  

ok solo'd with a 93 rogue and cleric merc. the shadows do not aggro unless you aggro on them. So it's con until you find the raid tagged one, attack it, wait for the switch. Repeat until the riginal shows back up, kill her, loot and proceed to the next mob.

Duo'ed this with a 85 dru and wiz today, took a long time and a lot of waves of re poping mobs, it looked as tho it was bugged but eventualy after like 20 times the name spwaned droped legs and 2 greater runes. Cold nukes work best with cold debuffs.

This is quite the interesting encounter. We defeated her last night on the 3rd of 4th attempt after we figured out the puzzle.


- SPOILER -
-------------------------------------------------

Theory:
The "real" version, which in essence is a fake, is transfering your damage to an invisible Pyrique Redwing. Once you kill the invisible form the real Pyrique Redwing will reappear.

How it's done:
Setup your group in the Tower just before hers. Kill the 4-5 mobs inhabiting the tower and setup camp. Finish any last minute buffs.

The first part is very easy. Have your MA pull her out of her tower. She quads for 900s, nothing else. Healers use quick heals to keep the MA up, as she will despawn after getting her down to 75%.

She will then disappear and 6 shadows of her will spawn back in here tower. Just a side note: dont aggro the shadows until you are ready to begin..5 of them are "fakes" and cast a 1500dmg single target nuke, and they will proceed to nuke anyone who gains aggro during your prep time.

Now you will need 6 tanks for this encounter. Give each tank a shadow to tank, and give each tank a cleric/healer. I recommend putting back up healers on each tank as well (see why later).

As you engage the 6 different shadows 5 of them will hit for 100-200s or less and nuke for 1500. The 6th shadow is the "real" version that hits for 900 damage.

Therefore, as tanks gain aggro, the one who has the "real" version needs to call engage for the rest of the raid and the rest of the raid will /assist said tank..and engage on the "real" version.

All backup healers (Druids) will then switch from healing the other 5 tanks (clerics will remain on their appointed tanks regardless), and will proceed to dps the "real" version. NOTE: IF you are the backup healer and your tank has the "real" version, continue to heal with the appointed cleric, as you dont want the tank to die.

Here comes the confusing part. After hitting on the "real" version for a few seconds all 6 shadows will shimmmer and reappear. This is normal, but it will appear as you arent gaining any ground...read further.

In all actuality you are gaining ground, as the invisible version is being hurt...you just dont know that.

Rinse and repeat: Have the tank that is tanking the "real" version call engage and go from there.

You will do this about 10-20 times, depending on your dps, and eventually the real Pyrique Redwing will reappear at 100%. Healers fast heal the MA and proceed to give her a dirt nap.

I ran into her the other day.... her AE or proc which ever it was..... hits for 1500.... seemed fast to be casted though but not too harsh Melee

We also tried to take her down on the Bristlebane server. Needless to say 3 groups are just not enough. She quads for 900, can be slowed somewhat hehe. AE is 1200. At around 80% she disapears and six shadows of her appear in her room. The shadows themselves do a shadow step or soemthing and after they do that they have full health. So what im thinking is we started out good. We pulled her out of her room and at the end of her hall. When she disapeared all six poped in her room and they dont agro. So im thinking after they appear go in and attack one till you can find one that does not regen health. It has to be a trick where one of the shadows is really her and u have to find it. Im not sure when I will be able to try this method again, but if you can try it please post here. Remember after you pull her to the end of her hall and she disapears, have your tanks move in and go from one shadow to the next till one of them dont shadow step and regen back to full. If on does move to the next and so on. This is just a theory, but it does make since. You may want to have a few clerics and extra healers handy. If you cant criple or get slow to stick you will need to chain heal. Hey if you want, get your chanters to charm the dragorns hehe they make good tanks too!
