Now the story of a party group who kill everything and the three people who had no choice but to keep them all from evolving. It's Arrested Development.

Thrall: You know, Garrosh, you might want to start acting like the Warchief. You're beginning to alienate some of the members of the Horde.
Garrosh: Yeah, like the Warchief has to worry about alienating the members of the Horde.
Narrator: In fact, Garrosh had started to alienate some of the members of the Horde.

Garrosh: The worst that could happen is that I could spill Volatile Rum all over this 3,000g crafted epic. Come on!

Garrosh: Yeah, the guy wearing the 4,000g crafted epic is buying a bag from the guy who doesn't make that in four dailies. Come on!

Garrosh: Yeah, like I'm going to take a whiz through this 5,000g crafted epic. Come on!

The problem is that halfway through a Fox will spawn and abruptly end the encounter.

pretty difficult achievement, what you have to do is let zealots evolve 1 by 1 and burn them down as fast as you can (before they destroy your tank).

If your mana regen/patience are large enough to wait for tank and dps cooldowns between each zealot kill it might help.

Comment by skribs

Is this for having all 3 up at once or just for letting them all evolve throughout the fight? From the posts on the encounter, letting them all evolve is the strategy, so it looks like you simply do the fight on H and you get the achieve?

This achievement will require a little coordination amongst your group and a little bit of luck. Think of this fight as a Netherspite encounter from Karazhan. As the beam channels onto a target, they quickly build up stacks of a debuff. After ~20 seconds, the beam target will reach 100 stacks and evolve into a massive Dragonkin and become mind controlled by the boss. Normally this fight is done without letting a single Zealot evolve, but this achievement requires you to allow all 3 to evolve before defeating Corla.

However, having more than one Dragonkin up at any time will most likely lead to your group wiping.

To prevent multiple Evolved Dragonkin from spawning all at once, you need to have TWO group members intercept the pink/purple beam and allow the debuff to stack on themselves. These two group members should step out of the stream when they reach ~75 stacks and let the Zealot absorb the beams until your debuff falls off. When the debuff wears off, step back into the beam to prevent the Zealot from evolving too early. Repeat this and allow only one Dragonkin to evolve at a time.

When a Dragonkin spawns, he will IMMEDIATELY Shadow Strike the first person on his aggro table - usually a healer. The Shadow Strike will blink the Dragonkin towards the target, dealing massive damage which can one shot their targets. THIS MUST BE INTERRUPTED THE MOMENT THE DRAGONKIN SPAWNS. The Evolved Dragonkin will also randomly stun a member of your group, so anyone who is 'beam tanking' needs to be mindful of the stuns and not wait until the last moment before stepping out. Kill all three Evolved Dragonkin and then the boss. Good luck!

There are Twilight Zealots around in the trash pack, that cast Arcane stuff. Those will give a buff that grants massive haste and spell power, so if you got a mage, prepare, get a trash pack, try to get the buff and then reg to full -> pull boss. This will give you a benefit for at least the first two adds which comes in pretty handy. Oh and Moonkin for Mana @Healer is optimal :)

This achievement may involve some light treason.

The general idea behind this tactic is to let one of the zealots transform at the time.

Get 2 dps (preferably 1 ranged to speed things up) to stand in the right (or left) and middle beam and do rotation you would do normally on the boss.

The left (or right) add should be uninterrupted from the start so that it will pop after about 15-20 seconds. Depending on your tank the leftover dps should interrupt the zealot the moment he releases so that he cant cast his shadow strike. Your should taunt a couple of seconds before the zealots release so that the interrupt wont get hit in the face for 300k damage. If your tank happens to be a Paladin he can avenging shield the add right after it releases to interrupt it.

The boss + zealot should be tank near the middle beam if you happen to have a melee dps in it, so that you don't lose dps time on either the boss or the zealot. Interrupt EVERYTHING on both the boss and the add. When the add goes down see if your healer has mana. If (s)he does not, you can wait for the healer to regenerate mana! When your healer feels comfortable again with enough mana, unleash the second add, this can be either the ranged of the melee one, whichever you prefer. Again burn down this add interrupting everything you can. The last add is the same the previous two, wait for your healer to have enough mana again and break it, kill add and kill the boss!

Grats on your achievement!

Some tips:
Tanks should use 3 minute cooldowns on the first add to minimize damage, this will save the healer mana and with the wait time between the adds you can wait for these cooldowns to go off cooldown.
Do NOT rush it, take your time! You should rather wait 2 minutes for your healer to regen than wipe and take another 10 to get back to where you were.
If you fail to interrupt the boss her fear and it targets one of the people in the beam, make sure someone takes over ASAP. But this is common sense for the normal boss aswell.

Hey guys, just did a video of this achievement that include an explanation of mechanics and our basic strategy if you want to check it out!

Comment by Warria

Break the first add straight away. Interrupt all of its casts. The damage the tank will be taking is high but it is also predictable. Don't be holding cooldowns back. Once the first add dies, heal everyone back to full and take a second for mana and cooldowns if necessary.

Continue this for each add, breaking one add at a time and healing everyone back to full after each add before breaking another. If necessary, simply hold off on releasing an add in order to gain mana and have cooldowns up.

There isn't any need to go fast. The boss doesn't have an enrage timer. Feel free to take as long as you need in between adds.

An easy achievement after a new strat I developed.

Setup we used:
Feral DPS (Speced Bear) - Me
Prot Warrior
Resto Shaman
Destruction Warlock
Ret Pally

Edit: (v4.3) Off tanks for Corla can be anything from a hunter pet to a rogue. Interrupts keep fears off the healer, so whoever is tanking should be able to. No dedicated tank needed! Shes a pushover.

Begin by clearing adds past the boss down to the next boss. When you get to the ramp going down, clear the next dragonkin pat.

Now begin by setting up your OT, in this scenario it was me the feral druid, by standing half way to the ramp that leads to next boss. Youll be somewhat near a broken cart and a tent. Have your healer stand between you and the zealots. You should be farther than 40 yards from the zealots but not out of range of heals.

Now that you have your positions set up. Have your dps and MT decide who's going to block the two beams. Set up someone to be on backup as well in case of fears. (Which should be interrupted by the OT anyways)

Have the OT pull the boss back to the position, away from the adds. Now when one evolves, they wont get the 100% haste aura she gives within 40 yards.

Tanks wont get crushed, and healers wont go oom. Relax between add kills in case you need to get mana.

Hard achievement made lulzy.

TL;DR --- 2 Tanks Separate the boss from adds by more than 40 yards to negate her haste aura.

Has anyone in this party ever even seen a chicken?

Comment by 185649

We did not have an off tank
She has an aura:
Aura of Acceleration

So we decided to have a warlock kite her around the room and jump off the ledge up top. The lock had her teleport at the top of that ledge...and I think you can figure out the rest....same strat ALMOST worked with our hutner but was tricky...

fairly easy achieve just get her away from adds, pop cds if she is near adds, and INTERUPT THE ADDS!

Comment by angelblack

With some good gear you won't need an off-tank or a kiter.
Just have your tank use his 3-min CDs on the first add, have him use a lesser CD on 2nd add (with a CD from the healer) and his 3-min CD again on 3rd add. Pause between adds as necessary to regain mana / CD time.

The Gravity Strike ability that the adds use has roughly a 10 second cooldown so if you time your defensive ability well enough, you can reduce 2 of them to great effect.

edit: Tanks, remove your stam trinkets if you're doing this achievement, it's a useless burden on your healer. The add's main attack does 60% of your current HP so if you have 1m hp, the attack will do 600k. It's better to sit a bit lower so you can be easily topped off and have more avoidance from other trinkets.

sounds like a job for Red!

Comment by prettyboy1

Just so no one can say it was stated here, the Zealots are the ones that must evolve for this achievement, NOT THE PLAYERS.

Just tried to do this one, would of had it if a shammy knew how to understand what they read.

This achievement could be worth 0 points and I'd still want to get it, because I loved that TV show so much.

Comment by ironskillet

I was told in vent to start Dps'ing Corla down, and I responded,"Her?" I gave myself a good giggle, then got the Achievement. Amazing.
