Hey all! We just killed Mythic Krosus and are heading to Spellblade next. Though slightly harder than Botanist, after Krosus we are looking for a "master one phase at a time" progression rather than "wipe in last phase repeatedly" style of Botanist... plus tier
So, looking for any tips or helpful kill videos / strats to speed up our learning curve.
Tanking on stairs leading to Elisande/Krosus.
Tanks - Bear and Warrior
Will have bear take frost add/warrior boss, warrior fire add/bear boss, and rotate every phase after that.
Plan on tanking boss on one side of stairs and add on the flower bed on other side (I heard this forces easy add pathing during its spin in frost phase). Besides of course arcane add - tank will solo first slash then stack on boss facing the raid (not facing the other tank).
Healers - Hpally, Mistweaver, Hpriest, Resto Druid, Resto Sham.
Hpally on tanks, mistweaver+druid+hpriest on mark of frost, and shaman raid healing.
For cooldowns, was thinking revival and hymn during frost animate. Sac during fire animate. And Tranq, Spirit link, and tide during arcane detonate.
For mark of frost, planning what seems like usual strat. First two random go left. 2 planned partners join them and pass marks between these two groups. 2 random replicates go right, again with planned partners to bounce to (with backups ready). 4-10-13-10-10-10-10 on left, 5-10-10-10-10-10 on right. For the "assigned" players, we are going to shoot for two mages left, two spriests right (forces two of the detonates on spriests who can disperse during that high damage).
Then for frost detonate, they will move to assigned square in mid to drop the 4 pools.
Fire phase just seems like loose spread, don't move with searing brand (let others dodge it), and be careful to not overlap adds.
Arcane phase we'll stack after orbs go out and then make a U shape around the stairs to drop adds.
Is there anything major wrong with this plan, or anything you found that made the fight easier? Anything at all is much appreciated - like when high damage points are for personals/health pots, or when to save dps cooldowns for... or any helpful weak auras / addons.
