So my guild is a little stuck on Ko'ragh heroic, and are repeatedly insisting that all ranged should be stacked up together for the whole fight (not counting fire debuffs or soaking/absorbing orbs ). I can see some video guides were they're doing the same... but why?
Exactly what benefit does stacking grant you? As far as I can tell all it actually does is make the fight harder - when you get the Expel: Fire everyone needs to run and spread, on Expel: Frost everyone gets slowed, when he does Trample everyone has to run away, and it leaves a huge obstructing clump of silence zones right in everyone's way.
I'm lost trying to figure out why stacking like that is anything other than harmful.... wouldn't it be better to be loosely spread around the room? It just seems like a huge loss of DPS and needless complication.
And another thing, when Ko'ragh is charging up his shield, all ranged are instructed to focus on adds rather than attacking the boss. Would it not be better to DPS the boss for that short time you can actually damage him, and then kill the adds afterwards?
