‘What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus?’ – Julianne

 

This is part 4.3 of my Resto-Shaman guides to Karazhan. This we focus on one of the more unique encounters in karazhan, the Opera .  The Opera event is a random encounter that can be one of three options, The Big Bad Wolf, The Wizard of Oz or Romeo and Juliet.  Each fight is unique and will test your raid’s ability to handle a particular raiding skill (Tank n’ Spank, Crowd Control, Raid Coordination).  Lest focus on the last of the three, the raid coordinating Romulo and Julianne.

 

One thing to note during this fight is that you will first fight Julianne, the Romulo spawns on her death.  Once Romulo is dead they wll both respawn and will need to be killed with in 10 sec of each other.

Boss: Romulo & Julianne (Phase 3)

During this portion of the fight you will need to be very attentive.  Normally, the raid will focus on Julianne while the off tank hold Romulo.  Once Julianne is down to 10-15% the raid moves on the Romulo.  Your main job will to heal both the raid and help interup Julianne’s Eternal Affection (Heal) so when Romulo is down to 15% the raid brings both of them together to kill each of them withing the 10 second timer.  Normally for this fight, Blood Lust is not needed.
