- 1 Main-tank. Tanking boss.
- 1-2 Add-tank(s). (It’s comfortable when picking up an add when there’s 1 extra tank. Would recommend just 1 Add-tank though. It depends on gear of the Add-tank) Tanking adds.
- 4 healers. 2 on Add-tank and 2 on Main-tank and raid.
- 18-19 Dps. At least 2,500dps.
Before you start you have to decide who heals on what tank(s).
The fight
To start there’s 4 adds on this boss.
The Add-tank going in first right behind him is the main tank and taunting the boss off him as fast as possible. Add-tank need heal in 5sec or he’s dead, unless he’s good geared.
Add-tank going to left and Main-tank going to right.
After that the pull it’s really easy. All dps on boss. After that the boss will do lightning nova, then the dps have to run from the boss. You always gonna take some damage but the more far away you are the less damage you take. Deadly boss mode warns for lightning nova. The tank is standing on the same place in lightning nova.
This is the most important in the whole fight When an add are overcharged all dps on that add. The overcharged is stacking up more and more. When it reach 10 charges you probably going to die. Because the add damage more and more each charge.
When 1 add is dead it’ll spawn an add with the boss. the Add-tank have to taunt it and get aggro.
After this it just go around and around until the boss are dead.
So…
- Pull the boss
- Dps boss
- Watch out for lightning nova
- Kill overcharged add
- Taunt new add
- Do everything again, and again until the boss are dead.
That’s everything, a very easy boss fight! 🙂
Just missed it, thanks!Just missed it, thanks! 😉
I have never done thisI have never done this before but i noticed that you didnt put any amount of DPS under the 25 man thing is that just because its obvious how many there should be?
Melee DPSCouple points. Ranged DPS do not run from lightning nova. They stay and Nuke. Death Knights and Rogues also do not run out once their Anti-Magic Shield and Cloak are off cooldown.
You don’t mention chain lightning. Ranged should use their DBM for the /range command or another addon to warn if anyone is too close. This significantly reduces raid damage.
It is wise to have someone call out 5 sec before an add will be charged via raid warning since many people in a PUG do not have mods that warn them.
Also, if the add reaches 10 stacks you aren’t ‘probably’ going to die. You will die. Its not that each charge adds damage, But at 10 stacks it does a massive AOE that wipes the raid.
Also the pull often gets PUGs in a knot. Its important that the adds tank run in first and aggro everything, then the MT run in behind him and taunt the boss off of him and drag him to the other side.
I actually dont know how youI actually dont know how you play it on your server but we dont “switch side” and the tank dos not run away from lightning nova since it dosnt do high damage if you are proper specc/ geared.
Adding the enrage time in guide.
It should be worth notingIt should be worth noting that the tank also runs away from the Lightning Nova on the back side, switching from side to side. It should also be noted that there is an enrage timer.
