Down Moroes without a Priest

Grats to my guild, Exalted Exiles for downing Moroes this Saturday! As we are a new guild and new to Karazhan, we are still a bit thin when it comes to tanks and healers. We have 3 tanks including myself and one of the tank's main is a hunter that runs with us. We have a primary Pally(Kilena) healer, but have been rotating in Druids and another Pally as the 2nd healer. On Saturday, we had the Pally and a Druid.

We downed Attuneman with 9, picked up a DPS and then downed Maiden on the first try. So off to Moroes.

We have been told that Moroes is impossible to down without either 2 priests, or 3 healers. Well we don't have either and probably won't yet for a while. lol. So here is how we did it.

Group composition: Dwarf Warrior, Druid Tank(Me), Hunter, Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, Warlock, Mage, Pally, Resto Druid

Moroes Adds: Shadow Priest, Holy Pally, Retribution Pally, Prot Warrior

DPS Order: Shadow Priest, Holy Pally, Moroes

Our Strategy

• The dwarf warrior tank (Sythyr) took Moroes


• The two hunters (DubsTwo, Idril) grab the Ret Pally and alternate freeze traps on him. This worked great has he was frozen the whole time.


• Our main rogue (Erikes) jumps the Shadow Priest and keeps her from casting. This is very key as we have tried it without a rogue and she just mana drains the entire group. I don't think she got a spell off.


• The Druid tank picks up the protection warrior, builds a little agro, then drags him around like a pet. Then picks up the holy pally. Got a swipe or two on the priest, but the rest of the group downed her fast.

So basically, the priest and the pally go down fast and then the crowd control becomes easy. The hunters lay traps at a set interval and the prot warrior blunts his sword on my armor. Everyone can focus on Moroes. It worked great. The healers were awesome (Kilena and a druid who's name I forget), zero deaths from the fight.

Don't ever let anyone convince you that you must have X group to take down Y boss. All these encounters are a puzzle that you just need to figure out. It may take 10 or 12 attempts (about what it took us), but if you keep an open mind, talk to each other, and just have fun, you will succeed.
