Heroic Madness Question(s)

**Ziggypac** · 2012-02-06, 04:41 PM

We started this fight last week...and I have a few questions about it.

1.)I started using a /target macro to apply a serpent sting to the corrupting parasite...but for some reason it wasnt switching for me

/tar corrupting parasite
/cast serpent sting

Most of the time..my current target is the mutated corruption....and i hit that macro..and nothing happens.

2.) I know that the congealing blood's can, and must be slowed...but can they be stunned or rooted?

Reason I am asking...is the effectiveness or usefullness of Entrapment.

Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

For #1, have you tried just spamming /tar corrupting p? As for #2, they can be slowed, but not rooted, trapped, knock backed, or snared.

Thank you as always Timo

**timoseewho** · 2012-02-06, 10:09 PM

I'm unsure as to why the macro wouldn't work though, just start with the /tar 1-liner and see what happens, best of luck sir.

Anyone finding pets getting mollested by the Paracite explosion?

**Crooklyn** · 2012-02-07, 07:16 PM

yeah my pet was dying on the explosion on platforms 3 and 4 so i had to just start microing it and moving it somewhere else

thank you #based blizzard for the amazing pet aoe damage reduction

Yeah, so i made a point of master's calling it to myself just before each one if i saw it was close (i'll be making a mouseover for it for tomorrow too)

If you check my HC madness video in the other thread you can see that i got parasite first and 1 shot my own pet though

Hopefully they'll hotfix that soon but until then, MC is your friend.

I just move my pet to the other side of the corruption it's attacking. We always put the parasite on the near side of the corruption, I just have my pet on "move to" at the back of the platform so that when it attacks the corruption it comes in on the top side. Done and done.

Some more tips.

If your raid group has all buffs covered...even if not..Bring a full stable of pets. I found that I can dismiss and summon different pets each platform without losing any dps time. Call of the wild for every mutated corruption is awesome.

**Illana** · 2012-02-08, 08:14 PM

/cast [@name of whatever] serpent sting

should work better and won't drop your current target.

**timoseewho** · 2012-02-08, 11:25 PM

Or as the tip I was given by someone, kill the parasite faster so it doesn't explode=P, but yea, Master's Call seems like a quick easy fix.

Also if your pet does die, it will respawn if you switch platforms

Can anyone confirm this?

Dead pets are instantly resurrected on a jump?

**Sascuatch** · 2012-02-09, 03:28 PM

I can confirm that your pet will resurrect when you hop platforms.

I do not know if something specific needs to happen for it to work but multiple times my pet would die on the 3rd or 4th platform and when I would hop the the next platform they would come back at full health.

**eschatological** · 2012-02-09, 09:57 PM

That might be worth leaving the pet dead for a short while, unless it's providing a needed (de)buff, but MC seems to be working fine so far.

**Ziggypac** · 2012-02-10, 02:58 PM

I dont think that I noticed...but I dont think that traps proc spellweave. I was trying to find out last night...but I didnt have the opportunity to keep an eye on it.

We finally killed it though...sooo, gl to everyone else

**aarjun** · 2012-02-10, 03:11 PM

I'm torn between using ExT and BA when the bloods spawn. Anyone know if ExT procs Spellweave? Our tank moves bloods out of trap when parasite spawns, so it doesn't last full duration, but if it procs Spellweave, it would be worth using over BA.

**Herecius** · 2012-02-10, 03:32 PM

ExT procs spellweave, as does snake trap! Use both.

Wow, you guys are getting those Madness kills pretty close after your Spine kills. We only put in 6 hours worth of raiding last week due to the Super Bowl and got our first Spine kill - only did 3 or so attempts on H-Madness before calling it. Any expectations on what type of progress we should see? We're pretty decent, we had a wipe where we had 22k left on the last tendon pre-nerf, and downed it first night post-nerf - should we be looking to kill H-Madness in two days this week if we go 7/8H in our first night?

Raiding Friday/Sat/Sunday sucks for competitive purposes. =/

Madness 10 is hard. Much harder than the current Spine. You wont be killing it in a couple of nights. 25m appears to be a complete joke though.
