Ours are managing it better now, though you can see in the vid a fair few of them get pretty low >.< A gulidie made a video that included vent which has one of our healers yelling at everyone not to suck at puddles :P<br /><br />A tick of arcane storm can be pretty brutal, red phase it can definitely lead to a wipe. Even on blue phase it can be bad, we had a few goes where people were one-shot by the deep freeze b/c they had just eaten a tick of arcane storm. need pro interrupts :PFeral Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992474868193996580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-12882364847936034912011-01-28T10:09:53.523-05:002011-01-28T10:09:53.523-05:00We had some decent tries on him, most wipes we had...We had some decent tries on him, most wipes we had was melee dying like flies in the black puddles, i guess they just need to look out for it better.

Our tank in that vid (a pally) was saying it would be easier for a warrior (guessing PH/Shockwave et al), but he handled kiting them well. A big thing seemed to be making sure the ranged were positioned for the Dark Magic phases so that they weren't standing in the OT's kite path (b/c of the sludge puddles on the ground) and also weren't too close to melee, who had to avoid them as well.Feral Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992474868193996580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-65085857809082988042011-01-27T12:03:09.428-05:002011-01-27T12:03:09.428-05:00Thanks for the fast reply, appreciate it.

Thanks, gluck in your attempts!
Engulfing D...@oshin<br />Thanks, gluck in your attempts!<br />Engulfing Darkness is cast throughout the Dark Magic phase caused by Nefarian, basically, it's a 3 second cast-up time (during which the Maloriak tank must be topped off) followed by an 8 second channel which applies the debuff. I'm not certain exactly how many times he uses the ability, but it's throughout the Dark Magic phase and is basically Cast...Channel(debuff applied)...Recast...Channel... repeating. Whomever is healing the tank needs to be prepared to top the tank off in that short window, and damage reduction cooldowns used as needed during the cast.<br /><br />Yes, we had a tank kiting the aberrations approaching the green phase, and we had mages laying down Ring of Frost to help cc them a bit, plus our frost DK hitting them with howling blast to help slow them (frost traps should work too, though they may obscure the dark patches on the ground if you have Projected Textures enabled).Feral Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992474868193996580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-80544624901454788642011-01-27T03:53:16.646-05:002011-01-27T03:53:16.646-05:00Gratz on the kill, we are attempting maloriak toni...Gratz on the kill, we are attempting maloriak tonight. I was wondering how many times he casts engulfing darkness, if it is timer based or how does that ability work?<br />Also is it recommended to have tank kiteing the aberrations before the green phase?<br /><br />Thanks and gz again on the killoshinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-34887054025717133012011-01-26T14:41:57.079-05:002011-01-26T14:41:57.079-05:00@Keef
ohai! thanks :D
Hhm interesting question. Ma...@Keef<br />ohai! thanks :D<br />Hhm interesting question. Maloriak actually isn't too bad, really, the damage can be high at times but if you stay out of the dark patches and control the adds well (through interrupts and slows/kites etc) it's not too bad. I suppose because of those sort of things it's a bit difficult execution-wise.<br /><br />Really all of them are quite tricky due to high execution and spatial awareness requirements. You really can't switch off, if you're slow to react or move or miss an interrupt or stand in the wrong spot... mistakes are usually very harshly punished (though some more than others). <br /><br />I think most difficult and most taxing/stressful so far really is Conclave heroic >.< namely east platform. high damage, high dps requirement, high spatial awareness, and a little bit of RNG luck to make sure you can actually see where Roash is facing his cutter cast (LOLTORNADOS). Definitely the most stressful fight imo! That platform, anyway. I'm not fond of it.<br /><br />We're working on Magmaw heroic atm and it's shaping up to be a ton of damage on the raid and tanks coupled with very quick reaction requirements and again high spatial awareness requirements. Should be another tricky one! The heroics are definitely a step up from the normal modes.Feral Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992474868193996580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-72313958630878713272011-01-26T14:28:29.869-05:002011-01-26T14:28:29.869-05:00Grats on the kill buddy.

Is Maloriak just difficult mechanically, or because the damage output on the raid is so high (the same sort of question applies to all the other fights you've done).Keefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126925282817664517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-91155131176249980422011-01-26T03:40:02.923-05:002011-01-26T03:40:02.923-05:00@Moonra Cheers :D Hehe yeah I need to make a post...@Moonra Cheers :D Hehe yeah I need to make a post on it. I was kind of hoping to wait for the patch, but I should perhaps just post something additional on it now anyway. The rejuv mana cost was at least hotfixed so I'm able to feel that out atm, even w/o the WG/Mastery buffs.<br /><br />@Curtis/Derpdiggler<br />Thanks! I'll check that video out. I likely messed something up while uploading as well, I've uploaded some 1080 vids previously without problem. The entire upload was taking waaaay too long, I definitely think I did something wrong with it.Feral Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992474868193996580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993668487492357247.post-42433913660791087532011-01-26T02:06:11.602-05:002011-01-26T02:06:11.602-05:00Grats on kill.
