Couple things about the putricide Fight.

Corrections first. You mentioned when being targeted by the green ooze that you are unable to cast. This isn’t true. You can still dps or heal while being the target you just can’t move. Additionally warlocks can set a teleport and move to it while targeted by the green ooze, and mages can blink. These don’t remove the snare but can give you extra time to kill the ooze.

The big problem with the flasks on the ground isn’t the damage it does… but the 75% hit chance reduction that he puts on people who get hit by the explosion or walk over the flasks. While tanking putricide you can watch the timer for the flask and move him over to a wall just as he is about to cast the flasks then move back to where you were. This will reduce the chance of a melee getting hit by the flask.

To get out of Tear gas the abilities are Invisibility for mages and vanish for rogues. You have to cast them while he is casting tear gas or in the case of the mage sometimes just before.

If you drag putricide over to the green ooze as it is spawning it lets cleave damage hit both as well as lets the melee switch faster. Otherwise you can tank putricide near the slime pools so the Abom driver can melee putricide while eating slime (they don’t share a cd)

Finally for the Abom driver I usually wait to use the slow effect on the oozes until I see their targeting cast just about to finish which slows them before they move but not too soon that it falls off before the ooze dies.

Good Show guys, as a lot of topics and issues were discussed…
The mobile auction house…isn’t it free, unless you want to actually buy/sell stuff? If that is the case, I think it’s going to get a lot of use, since there are times when I log on just to check my auctions.
I hadn’t planned on rolling new alts, since I’ve still got four sub-lvl 50 alts that I need to take care of, but I might roll a female worgen, my first female character, and my first priest or rouge.
The discussion on bosses in Cataclysm was interesting, and I think there’s a directly link between what is happening with Deathwing’s re-emergence and the stirrings of Azshara. He is probably causing havoc on her realm, as he is on the surface world, so I’m not surprised to see her tied into this expansion. As for the others, it’s hard to believe this game launched so long ago, and has come so far, but it’s smart business for Blizzard to get post vanilla players a chance to experience the older bosses.
Finally, are we ever going to fight Sargeras…I’d have to say no. From the lore, Sargeras is one of the most powerful malevolent being in the universe (if not the most), with power level that comparative makes Lich King look like a level 10 to a Level 80. I think the only force that can take care of Sargeras are the Titans, and they don’t seem to be too keen on handling that issue. As for Future expansions, there are still other worlds to introduce, and I think that’s where the next expansion is going to head towards.
