A little late but would really like some input here. Heroic NH

[slikvik]

We've been stuck at spellblade heroic although we match the gear requirements and would like some insight in how some of the guild players can either better their rotation or possibly change the strategy around. This last week we decided to pug around half the raid to possibly give us the leeway to clear the boss but it proved unsuccessful. Any help is appreciated.

You might want to link a log that has your guildies only in it. Not much point us going "Well, that DH named XYZ is doing this wrong.." and he's not even in your guild.

Dps seems fine. Just got her on farm, and first time we killed her with less dps than you guys.

The way our kill has improved alot lately is that we move a bit less far from each arcane explosion so the adds get stacked, so we just aoed them down asap and thus increased our damage alot.

In frost phase we haved ranged in middle of three targets. Frostys go left, when stack is gone, then they go right of ranged stacking point so they dont get further stacks of frost wich will otherwise make them more vulnerable to dying.

Dunno if this helps but it improved our kills immensly.

Tanks
They fail taunt rotation quite often, thus getting 3 and 4 stacks sometimes, resulting in a death and probably a wipe.
They seem to not understand that the entire fight for them is about mitigating the damage from annihilation. Make them have a full rage bar just before annihilation is cast. This allows them to stack 2 or 3 ironfur during annihilation. When they put another CD on top of that, they barely take any damage (unless they fail stacking).
Your tanks seem to also not know their primary functions. 1st prio is keeping aggro. 2nd prio is not dying. 3rd prio is moving the boss in a way that makes it easier for DPS and healers to do their job and survive. This is especially important in the arcane phase where tanks need to move Spellblade right before and during Annihilation. It appears they run in a random pattern which makes DPS and healers die to Annihilation.

General
Handle frost debuff properly (caused several random deaths for you and at least one wipe)
Place fire detonations properly (caused one wipe for you)
Bloodlust on arcane phase so you dont die to Armageddon (caused 1 wipe). Also you should semi-stack in 2 groups (ranged and melee) and move in such a way that the arcane clouds all land pretty close to each other.
