Heroic krosus dps check

[Deleted]

So guys, what dps do you need minimum to kill this guy on heroic?
like for a standard 2/3/9 setup for instance.
Wanna know how much we need before even attempting.

Hard enrage is 6 minutes.
Boss has 1.22B health in 14 man (2/3/9).

Assuming 2 tanks, 3 healers = 1 dps, that's 122M dmg per dps over 6 minutes. That's 339K dps per person to meet the enrage on average, or about 3.4M raid dps.

Doesn't really change what DPS you need to kill the boss. Also, ideally, you'd soak all the adds so you wouldn't have to kill them.
That being said, any and all accidental cleave just splats them. They have like 2M Hp in our 30 man heroic split raids.

Should be an EASY check. We were carrying about 4-5 people so we can get more loot this week and killed him easily with 5-6 dead on the third stomp.

The previous boss was a much more substantial dps check for us. Even with everyone alive we killed him less than a second before the second arcane add explosion was about to happen.

Draco is still correct and honestly if you're doing heroic now. Then the fight should fall over so many people are pushing 400 or closer. And movement is like 40 sec total. Move between GCD's

We had no issues with Krosus HC. Only wipes were due to tanks forgetting to move from the bridge collapsing smashes :P
We felt that Tichondrius had higher requirements. Not due to enrage really, but to get the adds down fast enough for healers to keep up mostly (Might have been due to having offspec healers aswell since some couldn't join the raid).

I agree, both tichondrus and elisande felt as harder DPS checks than krosus.

elisande felt like a cakewalk, you get so much free damage from having bloodlust and then haste for your casting speed and CD recharge.

Should be pretty easy, just a bit more than mythic ursoc

It's a pretty easy check. Most guilds will have two issues on him.

1) the Adds hit hard and target the rear person in the pack. So, if three+ are lined up at the back expect someone to get nuked.
2) For some reason it seems to take melee and tanks about 3+ pulls to realize they cannot run at the last moment for the third slam. You will lose melee to stupidity.
