Title: Any advice on taking on The MCP? Post by: Mattnaik on December 30, 2012, 03:03:14 pm So I have purchased a couple 4.0 books but would like to be able to acquire my own and save money. I spun up an instance and attempted to take on The MCP. Not sure if I should even be able to beat him with my current group or not but he spanked me around and I wiped within seconds each time. What exactly does he do? It's not a fear its like he pushes my tank off the edge. I tanked him with my warrior and my pally (with fear immune AA) and it did the same thing. It's almost like its casting shadowstep on me repeatedly or something. Not sure how to counter this and before i know it my tank is off the edge of the island.
Current group makeup: War: all T3, 4.0 2h Pally: all T2, 4.0, oracle 50, 3x FS2 Nec: all T2, 4.0 Bard: all T2, 3.5s, 2x NS4, sorc 1 Monk: some T3, 3.5s, 2x NS4, sorc 1 Cleric: all T2, 3.5, Oracle 11 Shaman: some T3, 4.0, kraken Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

But if you normally tank with a warrior, or find that the pally/sk is too squishy, then just make sure that the knight is a close second on the agro chain.
If you normally tank with a warrior, have the Pally pull with cancel magic. Have the pally start with Dread Gaze at least 3 times, and as many clicks of the scepter as you can in that time. Then have warrior move in and take agro. If you do this, when the warrior gets feared (and he will) then the agro will immediately shift to the knight and MCP wont run off. Fight him at spawn point, or nearby in the shallow valley. You may need to occasionally click scepter on knight or hit DG if you have healthy dps. Lastly, if you have a warrior using a few nerd 5's and a decent sorc charm, or a zerker in group with a decent sorc charm, you wont need to kill spawned trash; AE will chew em down. Otherwise kill em as they pop. |
