Hello there guys,
I'm wondering whether anybody could help me. I'm part of the Guild ION on Al'akir and we are struggling to finish off Protectors. I will start of with what we are currently doing and then go into changes I've already thought about. At the moment we are running the following composition;
Tank - Druid, Blood DK
Healers - Resto Druid, Resto Shaman, Holy Pala
DPS - Hunter, Mage, Frost DK, Ele Shaman and Ret Paladin.
Currently, we are bloodlusting at the start of the fight and trying to stack all three of the bosses up as much as possible we tend to get Sun and He down to around 85% ish by the time Rook desperate measures phase kicks in. During Rook's DM, we have our He tank run to Sorrow whilst picking up Gloom and the other tank picks up Misery and stacks them up with Rook. For our Ranged we have an interupt sequence and also a marker on the floor to help with the Inferno blast, if it's on my I tend to Feign Death around 2 seconds away from the cast completion. We will just continue to AoE until the adds are down, being careful not to bring Sun into her next phase until they're dead.
During the next Sun phase, we do the usual strategy and group the raid up taking care of poisons on the floor, ranged will focus on the spawn's and the melee will focus on AoE'ing the small adds within the orb.
Once this is down, we then take HE into his next phase and we pop a few personals for Anguish to die as quickly as possible, we put the mark on the Frost DK until the damage gets to much, then on the mage for Iceblock and then me for two detterrences and usually by then it's dead, if not, I put it on our Holy Pala for bubble which usually works okay if it gets to that stage.
By the time we finish this phase, we are able to go back to Rook and he is around 42% Health so it's a quick burn to the next phase and then we just repeat the above again. By the time we get through He's last phase again we have roughly one minute left, give or take 5 seconds to DPS the bosses and by the time we hit enrage, Rook and Sun are on around 8% and He is on about 18-20% Health.
So as you can see, we are clearly doing something wrong as I've seen guilds with similar and worse DPS downing them. One possible solution is to bring a warlock and swap out the Retridin as Warlocks are just crazy on this fight. I know a lot of people are doing them in the order Rook > He > Sun. Is there any particular reason for this as we feel it's better to keep Sun in the middle for our Healers and Calamity.
If you go to WoL and go on Al'akir - ION and look at try 14 on the 30th October, you'll be able to see the particular try I'm talking about. We've had a few similar but they weren't logged so I can't provide you with anything there. I would love to provide the link, but it's blocked as I'm at work.
If anybody could help me out with this? I'd be greatly appreciative!
