We're currently 3/13 (halfus, maloriak, chim) and preparing to attempt Magmaw. I've read/watched several strategies for managing this boss and I have a couple questions for those who have some experience with the fight.
Our Setup:
Tanks: warr, DK
DPS: ele shaman, rogue, mage, moonkin, s.priest
Heals: paladin, shaman, druid
We don't have a frost DK dps to kite the adds, but I believe fire mages are capable of kiting them as well - can anyone confirm this? The original plan was to have all but 3 people (1 tank, 1 heal, 1 dps) in melee range so that there are fewer required to dodge pillars. The skeletons will be picked up and positioned in melee range so that dps can cleave them down and aoe heals can help on the offtank. As far as parasites, given that our group is ranged heavy, is it preferable to have all aid in aoeing them down or just let them mage kite them around (if this is even feasible) while keeping all other dps on skeletons/magmaw? Also, do parasite continue to spawn once magmaw has crossed 30%? Any other recommendations or tips would be most appreciated and thanks in advance to all responders.
