I just wanted to say thanks a ton for this guide. My Resto Shaman finally hit 70 after this latest 3.0 patch, so Kara has been significantly nerfed(sadly), but that doesn’t mean we still won’t wipe if I(one of two healers) don’t know what I’m doing!

I gotta say my raid used the door strat for a long time. The problem with it is you end up with folks not used to needing spatial or situational awareness and not used to heal and DPS on the run.

You really need these traits for later encounters and so I think its worth doing it the hard way just for that alone.

I don’t recall ever having had any trouble with Prince, but then again… is it considered an exploit to have all healers and ranged DPS stand just inside the door? The infernals can’t land there…

@Brent – excellent point. You also may have a designated “range” person – a priest or hunter or druid – that marks how far away 30 yards is to avoid getting shadow nova’d

@Jager – Prince gets better as your raid learns to move. Yes, you can still get gibbed, but as you get used to working as a group, your tank gets used to moving proactively (rather than reactively), your DPS/Healing group gets used to moving proactively, and you get more DPS (since the faster you kill him, the fewer elementals you have to deal with).

So yeah – Prince is a *beast* to learn, and sometimes you still get crap luck on the infernals, but the idea behind this fight (much like learning Vael) is that you overcome the luck aspect – at least most of the time.

Still sucks though.

Prince is the sux. Of all the fights in Kara this one pisses me off the most. One night you can be up there and never see an infernal anywhere near you the whole fight the other time an infernal drops where you are every freaking time. I am all for luck in the game, but this game of chance just really btohers me. If I wasn’t such a badge whore I would refuse to do tis fight ever again.
