Maloriak Hardmode 10 Man - Red Phase -

[Deleted]

hi there,

we progressed some hours on this encounter and got some srs problems in the red phase. we play with a holypaladin, a holypriest and a resto druid for the healer setup. we have no clue about the timing of the breath because every timer seems to be broken, so we cant time our raidcooldowns that good. when the addtank and the person with the debuff are outside the group, we pop like 10 % ... and a single arcane storm tick kills us. we tried the guardian spirit on the tank of maloriak but when the breath only hits him, he dies and we dont know why.
u guys got some advises for us? :/

let the priest go disc, power word barrier, update bigwigs/dbm because timers are fine then, and use aura mastery on 2nd breath, some personal cd's(divine protection, ams, whatever).

Couple comments on this.
1) A single arcane storm tick should never happen. It's easy enough to interrupt it before it even hits the raid.. it's extremely important that this not even tick once.
2) Your tank should never tank a full breath by himself. I'm assuming that's what you meant by breath only hitting him. Raid needs to be stacked on the tank to split the damage and the boss needs to be facing away from the add tank and / or the add tank should never be in a position to be hit by the breath w/ the raid. Also, your tank should have the baradin's hold trinket for this fight (and several others). http://www.wowhead.com/item=62471

Group up except add´s tank .Turn boss against right or left wall from entrance pov (=avoid scorch blast hitting add´s tank).
If someone gets a dot ,dont run to sides ,run behind whole raid (to be in breath´s cone).
Scorching blast deals 1000000 to 1250000 Fire damage splited among all targets in a cone (which is equal to 112k -139k per person (w/o resists) for 9 targets in cone ) so if u have hunter,unholy dk,lock - turn all possible pets on passive and stack them on raid ,if u have mage - save mirrors for both red phases. This massively reduces the value of incoming dmg per person and makes red phase very smooth and easy to survive.

The reason your tank dies with GS is that they redid it in 4.0.6 - Your priest should keep up to date with patch notes.
I'm not really sure pets/mirrors counts in for the targets that takes damage, either, considering Chimaerons Caustic Slime was changed not to affect pets, either, and its basically the same mechanic. But if you have a Hpala, a prot pala, and a disc priest you could rotate DG/PW:B/Aura mastery and it should be good. Not sure which tanks you roll with, tho.

Power word barrier makes this fight so easy!

I'm not really sure pets/mirrors counts in for the targets that takes damage, either, c.

it works perfectly fine . With am/pw:b/bubling raid gets almost "none " dmg .

Just have your priest go disc, raid cooldowns aren't even really needed. I used PW:B just to cover the chance that arcane storm would go through after a breath.

Just make sure your priest is swapping inner will / fire for the mana reduction.

EDIT: And as others said, if arcane storm goes off even once during the fight, your raid has messed up. (Although usually recoverable)

Yep, it's very recoverable, except in red phase, but even in red it doesnt have to be a wipe. With strong raid cooldowns and healthstones, people still shouldnt die from 1 tick + breath. Have a druid sitting ready with tranquility if it happens again.
