There's often a problem when you spawn blisterings at the same time as the bloods, just off tank the bloods until the blisterings are dead, then switch the the bloods. <br /><br />On the 4th platform, you'll need to stack the raid except for the impale tank as close to the maelstrom as you can, and pop half your raid CDs when the bolt hits, pop the other half when the DPS switch to the bolt, because the corruption will do a lot of damage when everyone's lined up. Kill bloods, kill blisterings, profit. You may also want to pop heroism when the 4th platform starts casting cataclysm, to give your healers and edge against the damage.<br /><br />On the last platform, you'll to to make sure your whole raid knows where to find their dream button. He'll spawn three fragments that need to be killed. They'll put a debuff called shrapnel on a player, one for each fragment still alive. Whoever has the debuff needs to treat it like ultraxion's faded light. When the debuff has under 5 seconds left push dream, or they die. You probably won't have the DPS to kill all the fragments before the elementium terrors spawn, but the fragments need to die first, and then the raid can switch to the terrors. The tanks will need to tank them in the swirly nozdormu thing, and roll CDs the whole time they're tanking it. Don't try to AoE them down, focus one, then the other, and have the first tank pull the terror off the second once his stack of tetanus falls off. Then DPS on the head. You should go through two cycles of adds, with the possibility of a third set of fragments. Ignore the third wave, just pop CDs. When DW gets below 5% health, you'll want to start rolling raid CDs to deal with the AoE damage, and the other players should remember to hit dream to limit their damage intake.The Renaissance Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218269024132171600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306443098225235631.post-30202420530081511032012-02-06T10:14:46.760-08:002012-02-06T10:14:46.760-08:00Our issue was we'd get to the 3rd platform, th...Our issue was we'd get to the 3rd platform, then die. I think it was the elementum blast? I am not 100% sure, my head was pounding like a drum and I'd just started a new medication that was making me dizzy.<br /><br />And @Saz. I need to!
