I've got the strat down in understanding the fight so as long as everyone in our raid do what they suppose to do and DPS kill the totems fast we should be able to get the boss.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-58787044422421255332008-07-29T12:24:00.000-04:002008-07-29T12:24:00.000-04:00As a Pally offtank here are my thoughts.

Heal yourself to help your healers when he cleaves. During spirit phase auto-attack with SoR and judgement should be enough to keep aggro and open up GCDs for help with flame shock cleansing. Have your dps create and mash a macro /target corrupted. That is the most important thing. Hunter is nice both for tranq shot and aspect of the wildChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829217172998506484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-34889913776554244482008-07-28T19:11:00.000-04:002008-07-28T19:11:00.000-04:00The lynx is just a phase, once the lynx phase is o...The lynx is just a phase, once the lynx phase is over the Bosses hp jumps back up to where ever it was before the phase started. <BR/><BR/>Have all your dpsers make a macro, just like they did for Demon Chains in Kara.<BR/><BR/>/target Corr<BR/>/stopcasting<BR/>/cast super uber dps spell<BR/><BR/>The runs I've been in always stay on the Boss and ignore the Lynx, leaves the OT more time to do other things (ie cleansing), instead of him having to worry about generating super-crazy amounts of threat.<BR/><BR/>Having hunters running NR can help on this guy too, and remember to spread out, it is a chain lightning totem.<BR/><BR/>-<A HREF="http://absitivelyposolutely.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Abs</A>Posolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202867386259213651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-25760703427864954502008-07-28T16:45:00.000-04:002008-07-28T16:45:00.000-04:00If you just Nuke the Boss down in the Shaman Phase...If you just Nuke the Boss down in the Shaman Phase while the Lynx is up and you get the boss down on HP does he change phase then back to Human or does he die then if he goes down before the lynx dies assuming that the lynx is still alive?Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-39000741186677130802008-07-28T15:51:00.000-04:002008-07-28T15:51:00.000-04:00We just keep nuking the boss, OT grabs the Lynx an...We just keep nuking the boss, OT grabs the Lynx and drags him back on top of the MT.<BR/><BR/>This fight's easy if your tanks are geared enough to take the beating, your healers can sustain the silly level of healing and your DPS is disciplined enough to kill the totems quickly. <BR/><BR/>It's a stretch at your gear level, but a doable one.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069725904484579028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-89227318058081891122008-07-28T13:35:00.000-04:002008-07-28T13:35:00.000-04:00I've usually been the OT for this, and, as you not...I've usually been the OT for this, and, as you noted, it's pretty easy to pick up the lynx half of the split with consecrate. This is actually kind of a nifty trick, because the lynx doesn't hit all that hard (and I don't think he crushes, either), so you can just hit consecrate every 8-10 seconds and keep a seal up while you do important stuff.<BR/><BR/>Important stuff:<BR/>- Cleanse Flame Shock. I haven't used a mouseover macro for this in the past, but I'm probably going start, since there's a number of times that it would be handy.<BR/>- Judge Righteousness on the Corrupted Lightning Totem when it spawns. Yes, you'll only do 1k or so of damage, but it's a little extra burst to help your DPS.<BR/><BR/>Your DPS needs to be quick on killing the totems -- everyone should jump on the totem when it spawns, as it will rapidly do more damage than your healers can heal, and also makes people vulnerable to being one-two-shotted in combo with Flame Shock.<BR/><BR/><BR/>During the regular phase, if I'm off-tanking, I judge wisdom and Seal either wisdom or Vengeance, and keep up Holy Shield while standing <B>exactly</B> on top of the MT. If you're maintanking, then you need your OT to stand right on top of you, or you might not end up sharing the Saber Lash. Healers need to keep the OT above 9k at all times, and the MT above 14k if possible. Hunters can tranquilizing shot the boss when he frenzies, and thunderclap/demo shout/demo roar/curse of weakness are handy for reducing his damage output. Of course, Curse of Elements is probably better for your DPS unless you have 2 warlocks.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908845315588176801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-66868816710906903102008-07-28T13:00:00.000-04:002008-07-28T13:00:00.000-04:00Only way Ive ever done it is to Dps boss till spli...Only way Ive ever done it is to Dps boss till split, pick up lynx and continue dps on boss. This fight is about your dps. If the dps does there job and burn down totems fast, the healers dont go oom, with over heals. The macro "/tar corr" is good for targeting totems as soon as they are up. If you notice the rewards for Lynx boss are mostly dps rewards. I really see that as a hint as to who it needs most.The Distracting Shothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17135780937807413738noreply@blogger.com
