Lord Rhy Tips

[Maximus4004]

Hey guys,

My guild is currently working on Lord R and I'm looking for helpful suggestions we've seen the fight a few times, but was wondering everyone else's approach. Who do you put on the legs, and how many dps do you put on legs? We are 1 tanking the fight so we have more dps than a normal encounter what would you suggest also how do you coordinate your group and move around with everything going on?

Thanks,

Max

Or, you can not be a jerk and help the guy out.

Rhylolith is not so much a dps race as it is a survival race. Keep the second tank to have the adds taken care of. Most of your deaths initially will be from fire lines and sparks. Keep them in check and your ranged dps (not all) should be on them. We use 6 dps on legs and i call out switches. You never really need to straighten out (meaning having separate teams per leg) because you really just want him spinning. Stay on right leg to start, have him spin around. When you see an active volcano a distance down the stretch, switch to opposite leg before the full turn around in order to slow his turn. You'll learn to gauge the speed at which he turns and from then it gets easier.

It is a "you have to see it to know it" kinda fight.

Good luck!

I'm glad you wasted your 20th post on trying to troll opposed to helping.

Direams thanks should we have all dps switch to legs when adds are in check, I feel like there's a lot of standing around right now.

We're one tanking the fight as well. It is crucial that the DPS attacking the legs are able to make logical decisions on their own. Missing an active volcano by a little bit because one of your DPS cannot think for themselves is very bad and in most cases unforgiving, specially if you are new to the fight and have multiple volcano active at the same time.

In my raids, in case of such issue we have the entire raid switch to the boss and turn him right there. Making a big circle around often times causes a stack of 6-10 debuffs, depending on how fast your DPS can turn him without the help of the raid. Do not be afraid to call on the raid for quick turns on Ryolith.

I normally use 3 on the legs since my raid can handle the adds fine. In my experience warriors do good on the legs. They are normally doing 150% damage of the feral druid I put on the legs.

P.S. Lava Flow, Lava Flow, Lava Flow. Why do you get hit by something so easily avoided?

[Shawaam]

Apart from having some melee assigned for stearing and coordination of him, have the ranged dps split up in two groups. One only deals with fragments and one only deals with sparks. This usually is enough DPS for the adds, and it also leaves half your ranged group to DPS the boss for some time.

[Maximus4004]

Do volcano's despawn after p2 starts?

[TunderingAeacus]

They do. But I believe the Lava Flow still happens. Besides even if they didn't, It would not matter, phase 2 is kill or be killed.

[junialum]

Lava flow still happens in P2, just step out of it.

The key to this fight is to assign a leader (driver if you may) that will call out which legs to focus on and to restrict that to 3 melee dps. Ranged shld not touch the legs unless an emergency occurs. If that happens range must be told which leg to attack.

Keep Rhyo centered as far as u can (small circle) so he's near to any volcano. Allow him to wander too far out and you'd be running like nuts trying to get him to the volcano that spawned on the other end of the fight zone.

Its not trolling to point out that you creating this thread is directly against the forum rules guidelines here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/faq.php?faq=forumrules#faq_forumrules_guidelines

I didn't even use the search function, I just glanced at the first 3 pages in this forum and counted 4 threads on normal mode Rhyolith. You'd think someone with 100+ posts would be a little more familiar with how to use forums.

Check my posts if you want to, I didn't troll you.
Just saying you would waste less of YOUR time just trying to search for older posts, filled with pertinent answers.

Every raid has a different composition and may require different tips to succeed. Don't be an ass and think for once.

If I was breaking the rules I'm sure a mod can come in and explain to me what I was doing wrong opposed to normal posters, however that is yet to be seen, therefore I'm not breaking any rules. My questions are directly relative to dps on legs/type of dps on legs/ and coordination. If you felt the need to help better answer my question you could have just helped opposed to chastising players which take the same if not more amounts of your time. Anyways back on topic...

Here's our wow logs from last night on Rhyolith we got pretty close to phase 2 a couple of times, but coudln't quit push him(just to many volcano's) my next question is what are we doing wrong, also would it be feasible to just switch all dps to lord R and tank the adds at a certain % to attempt to push him to p2 and make the 1st phase shorter? Thanks to all who include useful information in my posts

<3 Max

If your add DPS are standing around, you have too many DPS assigned to adds in the first place. We single tank as well, so we end up with 4 dps (our 3 melee and 1 ranged) on legs and then our Mage and Warlock take care of adds. The two of them clean up one group of adds just about the time the next spawns, so they never really have significant downtime.

The key for us was just getting the "driving" done correctly and everyone listening to the driver. As for the driver, that person has to not only be able to see where the active volcanoes are spawning (so they can't be playing on a 12" screen!), but also has to anticipate where the next active will be so they don't end up sending Ryolith off in the completely wrong direction and wasting time.

As someone else already said, as long as everyone does their jobs, this is just a survival fight. Avoid as much of the avoidable damage as you can to help out the healers and you'll be able to run him around for a while.

There is no reason to restrict your leg DPS. In fact, the more leg DPS you have, the quicker the fight, so I'm not sure why anyone would advocate limiting your leg DPSers. Get as much DPS on those legs as you can afford without falling behind on adds.

Perhaps you are a little confused: Not getting caught or not being punished is not the same as not breaking the rules. And when you do break those rules, and someone points out that you did, calling them a troll and bringing up their post count just makes you look silly. Yes, I mildly chastised you for that because you were being an ass.

Do you know why its a bad idea to create the 28th thread on the same subject in the same forum? From a forum moderation perspective sure its just a little more clutter but its not the end of the world. But the person that it hurts the most is YOU. People get tired of responding to yet another thread on the exact same subject asking the same questions so they will stop wasting their time on it. They won't bother to read your thread or give you advice. But if you read the other threads on the subject its likely you would be able to find the answers to some of your questions because many people have the same problems, and for those questions or problems you don't see answers to then posting in those threads is more likely to get you answered because people are already reading and responding to them. Particularly since your initial post was incredibly basic and asking for general help that is absolutely found in other threads.

You are asking for people to take the time and effort to help you and answer your questions but creating a thread that already has multiple threads on the forum is asking for people to repeat themselves and waste their time. Maybe if you were more considerate of our time we'd be more considerate of your questions.

For your information I browsed the 3 pages of topics and 8 or 9 of those topics note that MAJORITY of them were discussing the heroic mode version of the fight(which we are not discussing here). Also that none of those said topics answered or even asked the questions I have asked in here most questions are relative to steering issue's. Which I found ZERO answers to what I asked. Also there is the capability to REPORT posts, if you feel I was in the wrong than do it so that the mods can remove these so called cluttered topics that I seemingly in your mind have created. Many people HAVE posted helpful information therefore your thoughts of people not caring about my questions is incorrect.

How long is it taking you to push into P2? After a period of time (I think its 7 mins on normal but I could be mistaken) he will start gaining stacks of a buff called "Superheated" which increases his damage. After that 7 minute mark he will continue to gain more and more stacks which is basically the soft enrage on the boss. If you are getting crushed by that first stomp then you are probably taking too long to get to P2 and he has stacks of superheated when you get there so you will want to look at how you are dps'ing during P1 and ways that you can push P2 faster, whether that is more people spending time on the legs versus AoE'ing or something else.

You also need to make sure that you stack together quickly and try not to push into P2 right after a concussive stomp because that's a lot of work for your healers to heal and that first P2 stomp comes quickly. What healing CDs do you have in your group? Do you have a CD rotation set-up to mitigate the damage of stomps and heal people up in between?

I never said no one cared or would answer your questions. But if you think people don't tune out and ignore threads with questions that have been answered ten times in the last week then you are crazy. Every single question you asked in your first post could be found in other threads in this forum. Specific questions about logs or the fight could have been posted in those threads. To sum it up: You posted a generic thread on a subject covered in multiple other threads. You call someone a troll who points this out. You look silly. You ignore things like logic and reason, instead relying on fallacies like "someone else responded so you must be wrong nyah nyah nyah".

I haven't reported you, nor will I; I responded because you were being an ass to the guy who pointed out there were better ways to find the answers you wanted, and because its better for everyone if you actually learn to use forums correctly. But since that seems unlikely let me help forestall your next thread when you finally do get this fight down: On Alystrazor you will want people to pick up the feathers and fly in the air. They even help people who stay on the ground! You're welcome.
