Watch this if you want a chuckle or if you need proof that you can indeed get this achievement with this strategy.

I enjoy making humorous movies, and I always hope there's someone out there who likes watching them.

Strategy: Volcano Blows

Overview

Here's what you need to know about the achievement:

* It's not the lava wall, it's the fire meteors that come down from the sky
* It's not a raid achievement, it's an individual achievement
* You do not have to survive the fight, you just have to have tagged Sartharion

Strategy: StratFu: Sarth 3D

Overview

Sartharion with three Drakes up is the "optional difficulty" version of the extremely simple Sartharion fight.

Not only do the drakes add more mobs to the equation (or in some cases, lots of mobs, like Tenebron), they also add in void zones and huge damage multipliers that change Sartharion from a simple "don't stand in the fire" fight into a complex DPS race involving a wide range of abilities and a complex strategy.

Sartharion with three drakes up emphasizes heavy healing and DPS both.

While the fight starts fairly simple for the healers, with just Tenebron up, it quickly heats up in to the heaviest healing load Wrath has seen to date (it's particularly bad on 10-man.) Raid damage is incredibly high once Vesperon, the third drake, lands, and tank healing can only be managed via cooldowns and aggressive tank health top-offs.

The meat of the fight is over if you can get Shadron dead, so DPS must push extremely hard during Tenebron and Shadron. Make sure your raid has all the buffs and debuffs appropriate, and that people are in their highest DPS specs possible.

Sartharion 20-man 3 Drake

There ought to be an achievement for doing Sarth 3-drake with only 20 people...

Bored tonight, waiting for Ulduar, we did 3-drake Sartharion with 20 people, getting "Heroic: The Twilight Zone" and "Heroic: Less is More" at the same time. (okay well technically we all had the Twilight Zone already -- but we did joke about bringing in a random pug just so both his achievements would go off at once.)

It was a lot of fun, and pretty easy with the experience of 25-man and 10-man Sarth with 3 drakes each week. Wiped 3x, once due to a MT death, the other times due to the usual stuff ("Is this a void zone I see before me?")

We went in with 4 healers (two paladins, a druid, and a shaman.) We had a druid tanking Sarth, a DK on adds, and our warrior MT on the drakes.

The WMO report for the curious:

My only comment on the WMO report is: Grrr..... spriests and their mindsear!

Sartharion in 3.0.8: Torment "dancing" no longer works
Add a comment (Comments: 0)

As I suspected, this indeed was considered a bug.

You no longer can cheese Twilight Torment in 3.0.8 by turning on and off attack as the tank, thus avoiding the big breaths.

Back to cooldowns, druid HP gear, and lots of healing!

Everything else on the Sartharion 3D Tutorial and Video still is accurate, however.
