Great strategy last night btw, simple and clean!

One thought: might be worth waiting for hero until after first overcharge at Yellow, else you could waste a few good seconds due to stun.

2 FS on yellow (2nd ---> Red)
1 fusion slash on red ------> purple
having used heroism the boss went to intermission while we were on purple which was ideal !
If we were slower on dps it would be 1 FS on purple then centre for a few secs. If we cant get him to intermission by then we wipe and start over. I repeat what I said earlier you do not want to lvl up the red and purple on P2.


From my previous post.
[quote]We tried doing 2 fusion slashes (this leveled each pillar up once through energy and then it levels up again automatically at intermission) on each of the next pillars and I think it was too much for us ? this is when we decided to pop heroism so we didnt add a level to the last 2 pillars[/quote]

Last recap:

for the phase after first intermission:

start on yellow with Hero (stack up on time for 2 Overcharges)
get thrown on 2nd FS to red
get thrown on 1st FS to pink
get thrown on 2nd FS to centre (did we get that far?)

WIN

what do you mean ??! 8-) 8-)

Well, that and people using pots correctly :P

[quote]Phase 2

Tanking at South pillar (Overcharge) we want to overload this pillar so tanks face him towards the West Pillar but tank him in place for a total of 3 Fusion slashes, tanks taunt in rotation to allow debuff to drop off. On the 3rd Fusion slash move him to the West pillar (Bouncy balls). Tank the boss here for a total of 2 Fusion slashes then move to the North pillar for a total of 2 Fusion slashes. If dps cannot manage to get him to 30% before levelling up the North pillar you must move to the center (disconnecting him from the pillar) or wipe and try again.

We want North to be as low as possible for P2Trans[/quote]

Right this bit needs some work !

Where are we at energy wise with the fusion slashes here, I think by the time we had a third fusion slash on yellow he had disconnected from the pillar as it had leveled up twice fully. we need to keep an eye on this, we can let it max out np but we dont want to be caught with our pants down standing by this pillar when he disconnects from it the time taken to get him from here to the next one whilst he is doing the raid wide AoE will just kill us. So we level it up as many times as we can and on the level before he disconnects we move him to the maximum of his range to this pillar in the direction we want to go. the as it goes to max we hot foot it asap with ther boss to the next pillar.

We tried doing 2 fusion slashes (this leveled each pillar up once through energy and then it levels up again automatically at intermission) on each of the next pillars and I think it was too much for us ? this is when we decided to pop heroism so we didnt add a level to the last 2 pillars meaning they were both at level 2 (or is it 3 they are automatically at 1 ? or do they start at 0 ?) plus whatever energy we had stacked on them during phase 2. This seemed to work for us but once again people started dying to mistakes on the intermission. I think we were so surprised to get to that second intermission we all forgot what we were supposed to do lol. Many people forgot to stack which caused people in thier grps and in other quadrants to get hit with the overcharge stun because they werent in the center of thier own quadrant, this ofc meant that people were stunned when the bouncing balls appeared and then we got overwhelmed with adds.

I think with some practice we can get this second intermission phase nailed, then it just remains to be seen if we can burn the boss down in phase 3 without the aid of heroism.

Sounds like a plan Fagan !

Thank you Erian for the info on figures, theres so much info out there and I couldnt determine what was right and what was wrong, wether the energy did actually affect the damage output or if it was only the level. I understand the reasoning for wanting to get static shock out of the picture but it just didnt seem to be working the last few raids where as we had gotten further with the simpler tactic. Static shock using the tactic Fagan has adapted from my suggestion is going to hurt us most on the first intermission where we have grps of 6 sharing the baseline lvl 2 dmg (2mil I think you said ?) on the second intermission it should be a lot easier with more people to stack.

WoWpedia really confused me, this is on their site - [url]http://www.wowpedia.org/Lei_Shen_(tactics)[/url]
[quote] North Conduit: Static Shock — Lei Shen charges the target with static electricity which causes a Static Shock after 8 sec. Static Shock inflicts 1,000,000 Nature damage divided among all players within 8 yards. As the level of the Static Electricity Conduit increases, the number of targets Lei Shen afflicts with Static Shock will also increase.[/quote]
According to other sources it doesnt affect more targets just increases the damage shared.....

It really is going to come down to how fast we can nuke him down to get to the first intermission (avoiding charging up the Static shock) and people doing thier damndest to survive the first intermission where we are taking the most damage from static shock. I cant stress enough how important it is peeps to use your cooldowns correctly, to check the level your health is at when your stacking to help soak a static shock. If you have the ability to top yourself off and absorb/reduce some damage then do it, dont just expect the healers to have everyone instantly topped after each ability has come out.

@ Glad - you'll be there in spirit buddy you know I'll miss your good luck hugs.

Looks promising. Good luck tonight, guys.

Shame that I can't be there tonight.. =(
