Snowy <3 It has indeed been a while! 8-) I didn't expect Ashes to drop so quickly, roughly 30 kills in all - was a clean run too (no resetting or funny business :lol:) Alani is next, after that, I gotta learn how to solo Malygos :D Then...uhm...not sure lol!

Welcome back & huge congrats on Ony, Ashes & Panther (I was lucky with Ony & Ashes - dropped the same month for me with Ashes showing up on my birthday of all days - and Ony being one of my grails, I was a happy girlie to say the least!).

If you were on US I'd offer to help you out with Malygos - but let me see if I can offer some advice, never solo'ed it on a hunter, but I've done it on my DK, Priest & feral druid. Main tips are:

I'm guessing just keeping aggro on your pet & keeping him healed is the main trick I can't help you with, but you want to burst down Malygos as quick as you can first phase - big hint here is when the sparks appear, you want to bring them down on the platform and then stand in them for the DPS buff (plus 50%). If Malygos gets it, then he basically gets that buff and hits a bit harder (again, not sure how that affects your pet).

Once he goes up in the air to fly around, then just kill the guys on the discs, then you fall through the platform and the rotation you must follow is:
1 - 1 - 2 -3 & repeat. Move out of the static things he throws at you, and KEEP. THAT. ROTATION. When you first mount on the dragons, get your 5 stacks of your heal (number 3), then start the rotation. Also - make sure you're not in melee range of him, fly out away from him so he can't melee you in the air - that saves you slapping extra damage.

With that - you'll never go low on health and as soon as he goes up in the air & the disc guys come down, you're basically guaranteed a win if you stick with the 1 - 1 - 2 -3 rotation. You will be waiting around most of the time waiting for enough energy to hit 2, but you need those stacks to stay on the boss to get him down :)

Best of luck with him!

Grats on the mounts! So jealous, wow.

And I solo Maly as a hunter, so here's my advice... First off, growl won't work. Misdirect won't either. Because of the broken pet aggro issue, you may end up facetanking until phase 1 ends. That can hurt a lot. My best advice there is to get a Spirit Beast to heal you, and have some sort of healing ability. Do as much damage as you can to Maly and get that phase over with fast. Personally, I ignore the sparks, but it's probably a good idea to kill them. xD

Once he flies up, you have about ten seconds to nuke the crap out of him before the disk guys come. This can be great, because it lets you really whack at him before the drake phase. Kill the melee disk guys, hop on a disk, and kill the flying disk guys.

When you get on a drake, stack the healing ability to 5 stacks and, as Sophistique said, follow the 1-1-2-3 rotation. Move out of the static, stay out of melee range, and that's that.

Oh, we forgot the final stage!

Loot... Option A) weep silently that no drake is even there... then curse at Malygos & start it all over again next reset.

Or Option B)... weep silently that you have to leave behind yet *another* blue drake (or azure if you are after blue) because the RNG God's are a cruel, cruel temptress that just won't let you have the RIGHT drake drop.

Yep and the nicest bestest social peeps stayed behind luckily! It's just sad that we had the chance to clear some 10 mans (although very slowly!) and some of the team put in a lot of effort to get geared, gemmed, respecc'd and learn new roles...now they feel redundant :(

Blizz must like to treat the girlies on their bdays!! I got the swift Razza (his gifted name from me!) raptor from the old ZG the day before my birthday, and its my birthday on Wednesday! So Ashes dropped 5 days before this time! :D

And thanx so much for the Maly advice! I tried just as MOP hit and struggled with the final phase, but now my dps has doubled I should be ok :) It's the 3rd phase that scares me! XD *memories of wiping there back in Wrath for the weekly raid quest*

Thanx Lupis :) Yeah I take Hope my Karoma everywhere with me <3 He's super awesome and heals me most of the time without me needing to tell him :) The growl thing is annoying, I had the same issue with Ony -.- Misdirection only works for so long too!

This made me LOL so much :lol: The first time will be a bummer, I will refrain from being pissed until it happens a second time :twisted:

Well that's 700 attempts at a skyshard since the last one dropped - with a total of 1360 attempts since I started back at launch :| No tricksters up today so I grinded some troublemakers at Mistfall Village :( Wonder if you gotta have the daily in ur quest log for them to drop or something cos this is getting stupid - was sooooo easy pre 5.2 :(

Sooooo.....flew out to Kun-Lai Summit to check if warbringer was up. He wasn't, but the scout was - free rep yay! Or so I thought, 25% hp gone on mob and 2 alliance show up. Tried spamming emotes at me...then started pulling the surrounding mobs into Hope my tank spec spirit beast. After wiping me, they set about the scout. When I res, they then ditch the scout and pull the newly spawned warbringer. I enjoyed watching them (both raid geared - tank and healer) getting treated like a floor mop, but sadly more of them turned up and got the mob down.

Pissed, I decide to farm my last raptor mini pet on the Isle. Pulling myself from the water onto the beach - I have way too much fun flying over the sea and ditching my mount when I enter the no fly zone - the first baby primal dino charges into me :|

I kill him and loot...

Yay my 1st ever egg!
Wonder what colour it will be! :3
