Heroic Archimonde tips/tricks

[Reinholder]

Anyone able to share some tips/tricks to maximizing dps on heroic archimonde (from a dps perspective). Spec/talents/trinkets/general advice?

Soak fire, chain break, dog circles, pillar aoe= much power. Also I have found I do better with NP on this boss instead of Defile. Not because of the ping pong but because of the adds and having 10-15 stacks of NP jump to them when they come out.

Here is an example https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...pe=damage-done
The dk from DNOgaming is obviously higher ilvl and did 10k more than me.
His defile + frost and blood fever is around 4.3 mil

My NP plus death and decay ( which I should have been using more when adds come out on p2) did around = 3.9mil

Keep in mind he did 10k more than me on boss and he is 9ilvls higher. So it's about right.

Whichever talent you use depends on your style. My main increase that I'm noticing now doing around 70k was literally soaking everything I can.
Pro tip- get 1-2stacks of doom fire THEN pop AMS the ticking damage will generate RP for you. If you pop it before it's weird you will like immune it or something. It doesn't always work for me.
