I have been plugging away at this achievement seriously for the last two weeks or so when I am not raiding. Tonight I finished Emerald and Ruby Void; it was a tough battle. If you have heard it is easy, it isn’t and definitely something you want to try in a PuG unless you have people with the patience of saints. It takes coordination and a smidgen of luck but it can be done. The essential setup is Five Amber Drakes; one person charges the channeled ability, button 3, and the other four attack the boss till the 5th person gets ten charges. Then the other four channel and the fifth fires. If this is done correctly then the other four should instantly get 10 charges and they fire, while the fifth channels and it goes back and forth. You will need to spread the Time Stops up a bit we didn’t start using them till about 10-12 seconds into the encounter.
If done correctly you may not even get whelps and push him directly to his Planar Shift phase; simple fly away and once he comes out of it immediately time stop and get your channeling going again while the four others keep shooting. By this point it got a little hairy for us but we didn’t lose anyone till about 13% and we pushed him to his doom. The strategy has a some luck because the whelps don’t have a set time to spawn, but the best way to complete this is to not get whelps if you can help it.
It was a resounding moment of success after about an hour or so of attempts, I made sure to do them wearing my Festive Green Dress and nothing else that could take durability.
Hopefully tomorrow I will complete Make it Count and the the achievement will be done.
