WoW Inn - Arena calculator

We decided with some guildies, to start gathering badge of justices for the upcoming patch. We found Mechanar as the fastest way to gather them, besides Slave Pens.

Our setup was:

• Protection Paladin (t4 lvl)
• Shadow Priest (t4-t5 lvl)
• Shadow Priest (unknown gear)
• Elemental Shaman (t4/badges)
• Holy Paladin (Vengeful gear/t5) <— me

As we have a protection Paladin we mostly don’t need CC in heroics. He has great buffs for an aoe tank, Blessing of Light, Blessing of Kings and Fortitude. Almost 17.000 health with good mitigation. 2 Shadow priests help with their healing and the mana regeneration they offer minimize the time we need rest. Elemental shaman except from his nice burst damage, the 100 spell damage buff, he uses heroisms at the bosses fights.

We ‘re going first to kill Gatewatcher Gyro-Kill to obtain Jagged Blue Crystal. It’s a really easy fight, simple tank and spank. Then we’re heading to the first Boss avoiding a 5-man pack before the stairs. Before the boss it has 3 packs with demons who they do a lot of aoe damage. It’s very hard to avoid a death here. The good point is that even the holy paladin can solo kill them with his anti-demon spells.

You’re tanking Mechano-Lord Capacitus near the stairs. His abilities are:

• Head Crack: Stamina decreased by 200, hits the current aggro target only.
• Nether Bomb: Spawns a small bomb that flies around. 1500-3000 AE Arcane Damage when it detonates. Spawns constantly throughout the encounter.
• Reflective Damage Shield: (Red glow) - Inflicts 950 damage on melee attackers when struck. Normal mode only.
• Reflective Magic Shield: (Green glow) - 100% chance to reflect spells to the caster. Normal mode only.
• Polarity Shift: Instead of the Reflective Shields, Capacitus periodically buffs the party with a charge. Every 45-60 seconds, party members randomly get Positive Charge or a Negative Charge. Players with identical charges grouped together increase damage by 100% per charge. Players with opposite charges cause 2000 damage per tick to those nearby. Heroic Mode Only.
• Enrage: If not killed in 3 minutes, Capacitus enrages causing a severe damage increase. Heroic Mode Only.

I found best way to kill this boss is to tank it near the stairs. Dps and Healer are standing on the stairs. When someone has Positive Pollarity goes right, when someone has Negative Pollarity goes left. So you’ll avoid much damage and you’ll do healer’s job much easier.

When it’s killed, head to Gatewatcher Iron-Hand, to get the second key, Jagged Red Crystal. It’s a simple tank and spank boss again with the only difference that melee have to go away from him when he becomes red. Combine the keys and you get your 2nd badge

Use the elevator and clear the room of Nethermancer Sepethrea. He summons 3 fire elementals. Fire Resistance aura does help. Your tank have to move all the time, to avoid Elementals. Same tactic for the rest party. 3rd badge ^^

Head to the corridor, it looks empty but it isn’t. Since you have 2 shadow priests you’ll possibly don’t need rest until the boss fight, but if you want to choose the safer way, when you kill each pack, you can go to the elevator and get to the down floor. You’ll be out of combat, and you’ll have enough time to drink and cc the pack after this. Repeat it as many times you want until all packs are dead.

Finally the last boss. It’s Pathaleon the Calculator. He summons 3 arcane elementals, shadow priests have to fear them and get focus on the boss. Arcane resistance is helpful but you don’t need it if you have a decent group.

2000 Sha’tar Reputation, 4 Badge of Justice, 5 Large Prismatic Shard, 1 Void Crystal and 1 Primal Nether in 40 minutes worth the time your group spent. Also don’t forget you get Scryers/Aldors Rep returning Mask of Sargeras, Sunfury Signet, Fel Armaments and Arcane Tomes. I would put the whole loot list, but it will make the post almost unreadable, so i will include only the epic ones.
