Zul'Aman Bear Mount guide

[Odear]

Hey, many people have been trying to get the Amani War Bear from the Zul'Aman timed event. Hopefully, these tips will help those people out and allow them to make it to the fourth timer. I did not write all of these tips.



Bear Mount Tips -

- Go Eagle -> Bear -> DragonHawk -> Lynx

- On Eagle boss: Turn ON your ambient sound and turn OFF your game sound effects and music. Listen for the "raining sound", colapse onto the tank when you hear the rain coming. BossMod timers seem to be very unreliable.

- On Bear trash, you can have your Druid use Soothe Beast on the first 2 bears and sneak by them.

- On DragonHawk trash: Shadowpriest MCing the flame casters is good, or have the Mage just spam polymorph on them. Also, have the mage spellsteal their haste buff.

- On DragonHawk trash: You can skip 2 patrols, if needed.

- On DragonHawk trash: Everyone should assist in looking out for roaming scouts. Have your Warrior count down his charge/intercept, followed immediately by a Druid root and ranged DPS.

- On DragonHawk boss: If you have a Prot Pally, you can hatch entire sides of eggs at a time and AOE them quickly.

- On DragonHawk boss: If you do NOT have a Prot Pally, it is preferred to only hatch 1/2 of the eggs on each side at a time. Have your DPS start burning the DragonHawks as soon as they start hatching.

- On Lynx trash: You can skip 2 patrols, but it can be faster to kill the croc patrol if he's in a bad position.

- On Lynx boss: Have your DPS make macros to target the totems. " /target Corrupted "

- On Lynx boss: Have your off-tank make a macro to target the Spirit of the Lynx and taunt quickly. " /target Spirit of the Lynx "

- On Lynx boss: Do not switch DPS to the Spirit of the Lynx, stay on the boss. Raid de-bebuffs (Curse of Shadows, Shadow Vulnerability, Imp Scorch, etc.) are already applied to the boss, so make use.

- Everyone flask, food buff, weapon oils, etc...before the event starts. Every little bit helps and makes the run go faster/smoother.

- Tanks should have macros/addons that mark targets quickly at the press of a button.

- After each boss kill, everyone (especially tanks and healers) need to mount up quickly and start setting up the next pull. Don't wait for the entire raid to show up, as soon as you have enough tanks/healers/dps to clear the amount of trash...go ahead and pull.

- Establish loot rules so you don't waste time. We loot our badges then mount to the next pull, greed for DE, need if you want it, pass if you don't. Once you're finished or the time ran out you can go open the cages and get timed loots. Before the run starts, discussing potential loot and who it will go to can prevent arguments/discussions that can waste time.

- Your group should probably consist of people in t5 or better gear. Most bear mount groups run with 2 healers, since the extra dps is nice for beating the timer.

- Drink whenever you can! Even a couple ticks of water can save time.

- Druid offtanks are especially helpful in ZA because they can dps decently while fighting bosses.




Here is a very helpful video of the Adelante guild on Arthas doing a successful bear mount run. They mention some helpful tips and show how it should be done.
