Guide to Healing Cata instances through the Random Dungeon Finder Part 1

So, You have lost your mind. You decided you wanted to do Cataclysm instances through the Random Dungeon finder as a healer. My god have mercy on your soul because these bosses won't. Listed below is my guide to healing the random dungeon finder. Lets get started shall we.


Throne of the Tides: Abyssal Maw, Vashj'ir
Level Range: 80-81
Entrance Location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7gAel8cRTs

Bosses: Lady Naz'jar, Commander Ulthok, Erunak Stonespeaker, Ozumat

Lady Naz'jar: This boss is fairly easy. She has two phases. Phase one is a tank and spank. She will randomly cast a blue vortex that your dps will stand in and they will probably die. The vortex throws you up in the air and you take a nice amount of falling damage. As a healer its your job to let the retards who can't avoid these die. Phase two she becomes invulnerable and spawns adds. Your DPS in the group will continue to hit the boss while she is immune to damage while your tank keyboard turns to pick the adds up. As a healer you'll die to the adds while the DPS blame you for dying.  Once you gather your body and get buffed up again you manage to some how down the boss and the mage need rolls on the spirit cloth. You make your way to the next boss.


Commander Ulthok: This boss is a really fun boss. This boss spawns void zones that tick for a huge amount of damage. Your DPS will stand in these and die. These can and will spawn under the tank. If your tank suddenly takes huge amounts of spike damage he's probably standing in one. If your dps manages to live through standing in a void zone RNG will probably play an evil joke on you. This boss always has a squeeze much like Kologarn in Ulduar. It does 5k damage every 4th second for 20 seconds. You can't heal yourself if you happen to be squeezed so make sure you keep yourself topped off. If you manage to make it past this boss I commend you. 

Ernuak Stonespeaker: This boss is actually really fun unless you have bad luck. If you are anything like me then you have terrible luck. This boss starts out as a mind controlled NPC. Phase one is fairly simple, Dps the boss to 50% HP to release him of his mind control squid. Once the Squid has been release he turns into a mindless one. The mindless one will jump on the person with the highest threat. Once he is on the persons head that player must be brought down to 50% HP. That's right payback time for those retards who have no idea how to avoid stuff. The mindless one jumpped on the mage and he decides its a good time type in chat "Lol afk for a bowl" You secretly wish he would choke and die on his "bowl" Repeat the mindcontrol stuff 3-4 times depending on how decent your dps is. While the mage is still afk move on to the next boss.


Ozumat: Oh boy, where do I even start. This fight is a huge cluster fuck for the RDF. You have to defend Neptulon from Ozumat. The fight starts off with swarms of none elite adds. As a healer you'll be doing a lot of tanking in this fight. Hope you are ready for it. As you watch your tank keyboard turn his way around the room you die a little more inside. As the smaller adds die more powerful adds begin to spawn. These adds need to be picked up by the tank. Oh did I mention theres a stacking dot on everyone and the boss now spawns void zones along with adds? Yeah you read that right. The DPS need to focus target the "Mindless Sappers" once they all die phase 3 can begin. Yeah I know asking people to focus fire in the RDF is like asking a mage for a table or a pally for a buff. Its just not going to happen. If you manage to get these guys down you hit phase 3. In phase 3 Neptulon gives everyone a buff 500% Health, Healing and Damage. You must down Ozumat in 60 seconds. Which SHOULD be fairly easy given the buff.  There you have it. That's how to heal ToT via the Random Dungeon finder.

Throne of the suck

Blackrock Caverns: Blackrock Mountain, Searing Gorge

Entrance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTgdmT0WBp4

Level Range: 80-81

Bosses: Rom'ogg Bonecrusher, Corla, Hearld of Twilight,  Beauty, Acendent Lord Obsidius

Rom'ogg Bonecrusher: This boss is easy. He only does two things, but those two thing require DPS to pay attention. *facedesk*  He randomly spawns earth quakes on the ground. DPS will probably stand in these and die. If they manage to avoid these then his next ability will kill you all for sure. Every so often he will pull everyone on top of him and begin casting an AoE spell. To break free of the chains DPS needs to DPS the main chain down. Since this is the RDF you'll probably die to this. If you manage to down the boss without the group falling apart then kudos!

Corla, Hearld of Twilight:  This boss can be done two different ways. The easy way and the still easy way but requires thought process. So, Lets do it the retard friendly way. This boss has 3 adds channeling purple beams. They are harmless until the beams turn them into dragons. They hit the tank really hard when they are in this state but if you focus fire them down you can dps the boss. Yeah, I know asking DPS in the RDF to focus fire is a bad idea but the other option is worse I promise. After the adds are down DPS the boss. Simple as that. 

Karash Steelbender: Haha, this boss has fire which is my personal fave. There is a center pilar of fire that your tank must drag the boss through it. Once your tank drags him into the fire the boss can begin to take damage. However, Once in the fire he starts to do an aoe attack. The longer he's in the fire the more damage he does which will lead to your group wiping. So its up to the tank to drag him into fire hold him there for 3 stacks and then move him out. You repeat this process until the boss is dead. This will be painful on you as a healer. If the tank is horrible he'll end up walking through the fire which will kill him or he will keyboard turn and leave the boss in there too long. Either way prepare for a wipe. 

Beauty: Another boss with fire. This one however will require your DPS to avoid it. This fight is very very very simple. Avoid the fire patches and dps the boss. This boss has 3 little baby corehound adds. All three of these adds can be pulled at the same time. However. try to avoid killing Runty. That will cause the Boss to enrage which if you are in a bad group is going to wipe you. If you manage to down this boss without wiping to fires then congrats! 

Ascendant Lord Obsidius: This boss has two dwarf adds. These adds must be kited. They can be slowed, rooted and frost trapped. They will switch places during the fight and do a soft enrage. You want to continue to kite the unenraged one while killing the enraged one. That's it there is nothing else to the fight.  All you have to do is have DPS kite an add. Easier said then done.

Soon to be your doom.

 Still want to punish yourself some more? Stay Tuned for Part two of my guide. Don't like my sense of humor? Then you must be the dps that dies in the fire every time or the keyboard turning no CD popping tank. If you are these guys then I hate you. I hate you with a burning passion.
