Hey guys!
I´m raiding in a small 10-man guild and we are having some issues on cho'gall. hope you could throw in some thoughts and ideas to help me.
So, we´ve been wiping on cho gall for almost 3 weeks now. (2 days per week á 5 hours raiding guild) We basically tried out every possible tactic for him that is out there (or at least it feels so).
-we 2-man healed him with max dps possible.
-we 3-man healed him with max dps possible.
-we positioned the puddles in different locations.
-we tried max add-control possible
Right now were down to 2-man healing with max dps possible.
We are interrupting the worshipping people asap (sometimes we get 2 stacks on cho. once or twice 3 stacks. but about 70% of the time we have no stacks on him)
We are miminizing the fails on the corruption crashes (sometimes 1 or 2 people get hit by one. but i don´t think that this makes the difference)
We kill the adds on top of the stairs (tanking cho'gall in the middle of the room). Range dps burn down the little adds, so nobody ever gets hit by them (so no curruption stacking there)
In phase 2 tentacles have first dps priority and then cho'gall. we´re interrupting the tentacles.
Our Raid Setup:
Feral tank druid
Protection Warrior
Retoration Shaman
Holy Paladin
Enhancement Shaman
Unholy Deathknight
Survival Hunter
Balance Druid
Fire Mage
Detruction Warlock
(when 3-man healing we use a holy priest instead of the destro lock)
so basically our problem is... well I don´t know where the problem is. our raid collapses almost every time at about 10% due to healers beeing oom. but we already optimized ouer mana cd´s rotations (mana tide totem / rejuvination / divine plea).
when we 3-heal the encounter we die due to too much adds overwhelming the range dps.
we meet the dps requirement (we have top dps enhancer 17k and unholy 15k. the range dps pull about 12k average dps due to target switching and bombing the adds)
unless we are doing something mandatory wrong, I don´t know where the mistakes are. so I´m asking you guys
hope you can help.
(btw. we only have 9/12 on farm basically one-shotting every boss. never tried alakir. nefarian melted faces and only cho gall seems good to get the 4 set bonus for people)
thanks
