Karazhan - Opera help!

Recently I�ve been raiding Karazhan with some friends and we came to a standstill at Opera last time.

We got the Romulo and Julianne event and we couldn�t stop Julianne from healing, so in the end we wiped cause our healers suffered from OOM-itis

warrior tank

druid tank

BM hunter

MM hunter

ret paly

fire mage

dps warrior

holy priest

resto shaman

holy priest

Any chance this group can tackle R & J event (Opera) in Karazhan? We can�t sub in some rogues or so to kick Julianne, it�s really this group that has to do it.

H.|||One way it would be doable would be to have a very precise order of interrupts. You do have a fair amount of them available but they are all on different characters.

Other option would be to let the priests handle the healing and get the resto shammy on interrupt duty. 6 sec cd on earthshock is usually more than enough to deal with the heals.|||What kind of kill order do you have on R & J?|||Quote:

Er.......

They have to die together. If one dies without the other, you start again!|||you have 5 people interrupting. 4 if the def tank is better equipped than the bear tank and has to take romeo. Still, usualy you have enugh interrupts with the mage and the dps warrior.

and yes, you have to kill them together. ( within 5 seconds of each other )|||easy way all group on july get warrior to tank and shield bash spells and use mage to spell steal, important to make sure they dont interrupt the same spell. when dead get druid to tank romeo and just dps him down.

now the important part after they both res get mage and warrior tank on july everyone else on romeo till hes 10% set rw macro so all dps stops on romeo and use bear to growl or what ever to keep agro but dont dps him. then all group goes to july kill her asap then all back to romeo his last 10% will drop in 3 or 4 secs and jobs all done. if you still have probs then use dps warrior as well as mage and tank to stick on july as raid gets romeo to 10%.

also get the shammy to use his totem that stops spells from casting that is a great help. you have plenty ways to interrupt the spells with your group and dont need a rogue if you dont have one|||Here it is how you do in my opinion:

- The interruptions you got are Warriors, Mage & Shammy.

- First when Juliana comes ... you all encounter her on left side of the room. As soon as she targets herself, do the interruption and down her.

- Then Romeo comes ... encounter him on right side of room (just becareful, not near the door) and down him.

- Now they both come together which is the hard part. How you do it is ... Main Tank and all others on Romeo. While Off Tank with DPS Warrior should be on Juliana. Your DPS warrior must be comfortable with Pummel and know when to use it. Bring Romeo down to 9-8% health and all move forward to Juliana. Down her as fast as possible. Then go for Romeo. By the time you are done with Juliana, your tank should have got Romeo on 2-3% by then. Remember, they both should be killed with 10 seconds of each other, or else.

Your tank on Romeo + the interrupter on Juliana should both know what they are doing and what they are supposed to do.

At one occasion, my raid was unable to interrupt a heal and Juliana healed herself. On the other hand I was tanking Romeo who was at 2%. So I had to stop attack on him and stand still with my shield blocks on and trinkets when required. If this thing goes wrong ... everything starts all over again.

Don't worry this requires some timing and a few wipes :)|||The above advice is valid. Another way of approaching the third phase (when both are up) is to divide your dps - we would normally put all melee against julianne, and all ranged against Romulo. This is because Romulo is slightly melee-unfriendly, in that he occasionally stabs and poisions people behind him.

In your case I think your group is slightly ranged-heavy, so you might have to adjust the numbers.

However you choose to do it, your goal is to kill them both within a few seconds of each other. If Julianne gets a heal off then it doesn't have to be a disaster - you'll need to shift more dps to the mob that got healed, and hope that your own healers don't OOM from the longer fight :-)|||Stole this from some other place

Eternal Affection - Heals for 46250 to 53750, 2.5 second cast.

Blinding Passion - Deals 1500 holy damage directly, applies a Damage over Time (DoT) for 750 every second for 4 seconds, 2 sec cast. Total damage dealt by this spell is 4500.

Devotion - Self buff that increases the Holy damage dealt by the caster by 50% and casting speed by 50% for 10 sec. Dispellable.

Make sure everyone knows what the heal is called and make sure Devotion is dispelled or stolen by a mage. Devotion+blinding passion will probably kill someone so might as well have the mage on her all the time.|||Don't you have a rogue? We always used a rogue to kick Julienne. That's also nice to split the dps a bit so they both go down at the same time. The other dps can divide their attention a bit while the rogue keeps hitting/kicking Julienne.
