TRUST IN GREMLINS.

Catch up tonight!

A lot of learning last night. Keep it up guys.

Some people missed the main raid this week so we'll be running a catch up raid tonight. Alts welcome within reason.

Simple rules for catch up/alt raiding:
Toons catching up have loot priority. Pending issues clearing a boss alts may be asked to sit or play mains.

Coocoocachoooooo

This Sunday

The raid will start at 7 again.

The fight we are going to do is very complicated and because of that it will be very hard for us being such a large group. Please please please read the below post and watch the video below.

It's understandable that you'll really need to do the fight to get to know what's really going on. However because it'll be frustrating to learn just because of the nature of the fight if you don't bother to do some reading on this one you may be asked to sit it out.

Obviously once we learn the fight these things will be less of an issue. So if you're not willing to do the research yourself we can teach it to you next week (god willing, otherwise the week following).

Again, this isn't as much of us just being assholes as it is us trying to make sure everyone is having fun. If you're a dick and don't try and it means all the other players are having less fun then fuck you. I mean we love you all the same, but seriously you can wait until we know the fight well.

Our plan to win at WoD

The following is a guide to the last boss written by Hanny. Study up nerds.

Detailed Imperator Mar’Gok Guide

General Knowledge:

• 4 Phases to this fight with 2 transitions
• First phase shows abilities
• Second phase is Displacement Phase (movement heavy)
• Third phase is fortification phase (increased health and all adds not able to be CC’ed)
• Fourth phase is Replication Phase (All abilities are either replicated or enhanced to do splash damage)
• 2 transitions at 50% and 25%
• Fight is simple in the first phase, increasingly gains increased damage taken and more environmental issues as fight goes on
• Extremely Cooldown usage and mana consumption is necessary to complete fight for all healers, 2nd transition and Phase 3/4 are 200x more difficult to heal than the first 2 phases and 1st transition

Phase 1 - 100%-75%:

Tanks

• Tank swap on taunt cooldown
• Tank who gets debuff(Mark of Chaos) runs to the empty part of the room(minimum 35 yards from closest player

Melee DPS

• Nothing too much to note, pay attention to when you get the debuff (Arcane Wrath) and run into the range whom you will be transferring it to
• Immediately switch to big add when spawned(stunnable in this phase)

Range DPS

• NEVER run into a mine and run out of mines when spawned(This will most likely cause a raid wipe)
