Her...@ Orosei why would you switch to heroism pets? Heroism is a gimmick in this fight. Output DPS matters not much (neither does it matter on Shannox HC, nor much on Halfus HC). Also, if you insist on heroism you have Glotan who provides heroism. He just has to be in range before he pops it, or he runs inbetween the 2 groups. So when you near Furious stage you make sure the heroism buffer is near the rest. We accomplished this by moving the 2 groups more near each other after 2nd black phase.<br /><br />Mumble should be excellent for this fight because it allows easy management of 2 vchat groups. BigWigs also has excellent support for showing or hiding the information you don't need (who cares what Kochrom does when you are assigned on Morchok).<br /><br />Also, Morchok had a few bugs which were recently fixed. For example, the stomp wouldn't always be shared with the nearest soaker, or people who were clearly in range (25 yd) were not sharing dmg. Both are fixed now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-60999960056115918512012-02-03T12:56:32.590+01:002012-02-03T12:56:32.590+01:00"This boss is easier than spine or deathwing ..."This boss is easier than spine or deathwing and very flexiable."<br /><br />Wow!

Remember that buffs and other support is useless without the ability to properly mitigate damage. Mitigating damage by player skills, aka dodging enemy attack, tends to be an element that cannot be measure with the current system. If taken into account the amount of damage a player dodged, then we can create a strong sense of how well a player play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-90611059932685354252012-02-01T22:30:10.341+01:002012-02-01T22:30:10.341+01:00We did something similar, in that we used healers ...We did something similar, in that we used healers with shields to soak the second double-stomp instead of a DPS. This helps in that a sufficiently-armored healer doesn't need a cooldown to survive the double-stomp, and by being the stomp soaker, the healer gets to move less. Other than that, it was the standard strategy.<br /><br />Some other specs that don't need a cooldown to soak the second double-stomp: shadow priest (with Glyph of Inner Fire), subtlety rogue, fire mage, all warlocks.<br /><br />...but really, 22 attempts? It took us two. Five, if you include doing it with a 2/2/6 comp before we switched to 2/4/4. (And two of those healers were offspecs; terribly geared, and with little to no practice healing anything, much less heroic.)Espoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334272684472188651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-28237826293897946892012-02-01T18:55:52.811+01:002012-02-01T18:55:52.811+01:00If you have one, a subtlety rogue with points in e...If you have one, a subtlety rogue with points in enveloping shadows also makes an effective stomp tank.Armondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-60893332827807345832012-02-01T17:41:22.712+01:002012-02-01T17:41:22.712+01:00@Orosei, because the shared health is actually imp...@Orosei, because the shared health is actually implemented with separate health pools which get re-balanced every few seconds (Ryholit shares the same implementation).

The DK should be full health and full-runes and take it without shield mitigation. This allows the DK to do a DS immediately after being hit which nets a huge cure and even bigger shield. This removes any danger from the next melee hit from the boss. Healers basically need to make sure the tank is full only every odd hit, and the DK will self-heald and shield before any even hit.<br /><br />The only danger comes from a very bad streak of hits leaving the DK without runes to land DS, but this is easily handled with the other CDs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-64162768414356082702012-02-01T12:06:48.722+01:002012-02-01T12:06:48.722+01:00Boss and clone has shared health.
