Proving Yourself: Silver Damage (Level 90)

Proving Ground basic roles:

• 
  
• Your gear is scaled down to ilvl463,
• 
  
• Set bonuses are disabled,
• 
  
• The special effect parts of the legendary meta gems are disabled,
• 
  
• Flasks and food buffs are allowed,
• 
  
• Potions are disabled,
• 
  
• Profession goodies such as [spell=126734] or [spell=54861] are allowed.
• 
  

In the damage-dealer challenge line you can expect dealing damage and crowd-controlling enemies with interrupts / fears / stuns / silences / whatever CC you have. The DD part is about to beating the encounters in time rather than mastering your survival abilities -- therefore you take absolutely ZERO damage across the DPS challenges.

The SILVER DPS Challenge is a 8-round trial with 2 brand new mob types in addition to the Bronze line-up:

1. 
   
2. Amber-Weavers: Conjure an [spell=142191] that slowly follows you for 10 sec. The globule stuns anything in contact so make sure it stuns a mob instead of you.
3. 
   
4. Mystics: Healer units with very high heath-pools. Cast [spell=142238] frequently on themselves or their allies that needs to be interrupted.
5.

Silver difficulty is all about to timing short cooldowns along with some basic movement, interrupting and kiting. If you're getting in trouble with the timer, try out a different method a different kill order or even save some cooldowns for the hardest waves.

Destro Warlock strategy for Draenor Silver proving grounds.
I'm a mediocre warlock at best and I was having extreme issues with Phase 8 in silver. Somewhere I saw a post about someone using fear which I always forget about. Using Fear at the beginning of the last phase made it stupid easy! I can't emphasize enough how important placement is at the beginning of each phase so you are not wasting time running to where you need to be.
When phase 8 begins you'll want to make sure you place yourself in front of the slayer. The mystic will be in the center and an amber-weaver to his left and right. You'll be using the slayer as a shield for amber globules as you Focus the mystic down and then each amber-weaver one at a time. The slayer will die last.
When the phase begins all you have to do is place the slayer between yourself and either one of the amber-weavers. Then quickly fear the weaver closest to you. Do not damage him and he's not an issue for 20 seconds. While you interrupt and Burn down the mystic, the slayer will eat the globules. Once the Mystic is dead, fear one of the amber-weavers again and use the slayer to keep taking the globules. Once the first Amber-weaver is Dead switch to the feared amber-weaver and place the slayer between you to eat the globules as you safely finish him off. Then burn the slayer and you're done.

In the 6.0.3 edition, : Silver Damage (Level 90), the gear is not scaled down from what I can tell. but it is still difficult. Wave #5 is currently giving me trouble. I could use an extra 2 or 3 seconds. The previous waves I complete with typically 9-11 seconds to spare.
