25 HM Domo... Does the no scythe tactic work after nerfs?

[Deleted]

Anyone seen video of 0-0-0-0 done in 25 men hc, or have experience about it? Especially how to do orbs behind tank? Tanking with tank's back against wall, or maybe tank rotating around stacked group with boss as needed to not take orbs? Our guild cant make dps check with 0-7-0-7 tactic, orb phases drop already low raid dps too much.

How does the tank eating a scythe RAISE dps?

Because it gives the raid an extra 7 or 8 seconds stacked up and wailing on the boss before everyone splits.

And it can be just enough to push 2nd orb phase happen after boss dies, or about same time depending raid dps.
When using 0-7-0-7 tactic, 2nd orb phase comes around 8min10sec (25 men, probably bit differs but its around there). Now delay that orb phase half minute by tank soloing one slash during scorpions, and boss can start to die just before or during that 2nd orb phase so less problems with orbs.

Raids having troubles with orb phases could also try to take like 8 cleaves stacked up during one of scorpions phases, this delays orb phase additional minute. Doing this and also tank taking single slashes some times and 2nd orb phase gets pushed to near enrage timer, so raid does not have to deal it. But it also means less damage done during taking cleavs, so hard to say if it helps after all, probaly depends on many things. Like, if doing this first scorpion (easiest to heal but losing trinket etc procs partly), or doing it during seeds (harder heal), and which is bigger dps loss for raid, taking cleaves or orb phase.

Best to ask here I guess, on 10man HC what percentage should we be expecting the orbs to spawn at?

On our attempts (Having got him to 5%, we were slightly low on DPS), First orb phase was nearing right at 50-55%. And we were getting a 2nd Orb phase at around 15-20%. Give or take.
