heroic maloriak 10m

[Lirik]

we have been doing heroic maloriak and we decided to stick with the strat where we release 9 abbs after dark phase. Every set, our warrior dps taunts when and the ranged and dps kill it which, in a perfect situation, I would have 6 on me when green phase hits. Currently, the way we release it or time our interrupts is like this:

interrupt release abb if one is casted during dark phase
Interrupt first cast during red phase
let second one in red phase go
let first one in blue phase go
let second one in blue phase go

green phase...

is this the best way to do it?

if blue phase is first instead of red, let the first 2 in blue go, interrupt the first one in red, let the second one go...


This may sound complicated but is this the best way to go about releasing them?

Release 3 before the dark phase so you can aoe them down with the Vile Swills instead?

Either way... You didn't exactly point out the problem you're having.

We've found its much easier to release 3 before the dark phase and AoE them down with the swills. It really makes the fight pretty simple and keeps you from having to worry about your add tank really at all.

[fews]

yes what other people are saying release three with dark phase. once we started doing this we stopped losing our tank (one misstep and hell be one-shot by nine adds)

Its rng whether or not he will release abberations before the dark phase (I've heard waiting on CoT or a cast speed slow til after its cast helps, but it still isnt 100%).. you should aim for 3 adds up in dark and cleave/aoe dmg them (their buff doesnt increase swill damage), if he doesnt realease 3 before dark phase begins you should probably let the next cast go off & have a melee (ret, dk, etc) taunt one add off the ot and single target it without the dmg debuff... if your dps is up to par you should likely have to slow or stop dps before the second green phase so killing 2-3 adds and allowing 9 to get off before first green isnt hurting your dps really, it will make healing the OT alot easier and you can easily allow 3 adds to spawn during the 2nd green before 2nd dark phase pops... just make sure you are taking care of the adds during first green so the ot/mt dont get instagibbed when green drops off

Best strat is to release 3 adds before the black phase. Then you tank has an easy job and does not die

If Maloriak doesn't cast adds before black phase your kiter has to be carefull, but it's also possible to kite 9 Adds. I do that as a prot warrior with piercing howl specced. The last 3 Adds should spawn about 10 seconds before green phase. Then it's possible that a melee dps takes one or two adds to the boss when he jumps into the green phase.

This is the best way. However it's annoying to reset the boss if he doesn't release any adds before first black phase.

Yep. We had to reset him 3 or 4 times last night before we got our kill lol.

[Xcuse]

Letting 3 release before the black phase is a tip stated in almost every topic about Maloriak 10h, so I didn't quite grasp your question @OP, sorry

And yea it's a bit annoying having to reset the boss, but at least you CAN reset him - Just wait those 15(?) Seconds before he starts the black phase with your cooldowns so you can just wait for him to respawm and then pull again instead of waiting for cooldowns.

We gave this about 3 tries before the end of raid last night and will come back Sunday for a full night on him. We currently are doing what most people out-lined here, and that's try release 3 adds before dark vial is thrown.

I just have an extra question to ask; When soaking the flame breath, the person with the flames debuff still moves out right or are they needed to soak it, there would be a total of 8 soakers otherwise, is that enough? (offtank will be kiting adds + debuff person consuming flames?) ?

[Impurath]

The person with the consuming flames debuff does not soak the flame breath or he will get oneshot.

Cheers buddy.
