Hello!
We're slowly progressing on Thok the bloodthirsty, trying to figure out a proper cd rotation for our group composition.
We exist of
Prot pala, brew monk
Resto druid, holy pala, resto shaman
Fire mage
Balance druid
Destro lock
Surv hunter
Fury warr
For the moment we decided to put the Resto druid from 0-10. resto shammy from 10-20 and holy pala from 20-27 ish.
Ofcourse, depending on how it looks damage wise, the holy pala might start using cds around 17 stacks, or the rshammy around 8 stacks or so.
Resto druid uses Nature's vigil and Tree of life to keep the raid up from 0-10, sometimes having to pop a mushroom there aswell.
Resto shammy just rotates his cooldowns for his 10 stacks, not having troubles with that at all.
Holy pally starts around 18 usually, and just spams loose in order to keep us up until around 27ish stacks.
For the kiting phase we open the gate asap, leaving the boss at around 7 stacks of speed before next phase happens.
We open the toxic door first.
In this phase we barely have any cooldowns available anymore.
We've saved both of our tranquilitys for this phase, using one around 3-4 stacks, and the other almost right after, at around 7 stacks.
Ofcourse, whenever a druid is tranqing, we have a BoP from a paladin used on em, to prevent interruption.
Here is usually where things starts to go bad, ending up with either us dying or transitioning happening before or at 10 stacks.
Our current plan is to have the fury warr use both demoralizing and rallying cry as soon as our 2nd tranq ends.
Maybe this would be the time for us to use personal survival cds aswell?
Also, how long should we aim to survive in the 2nd stacking phase? Our best attempt got us to around 15 stacks.
As for the third phase, once ice door is open, our 3 min cds are back and we can pretty much do the rotation we had at pull which should net us atleast around 20-25 stacks in that phase.
I'm also wondering how his HP should look? For example, after the first stacking phase, we get him to around 65% or so, after 2nd he's around 45. How much hp is it required for him to have in order for us to kill him?
Thanks for any help i get!
