[BWD] Maloriak

[Fungi]

Nice vid and explanation of the fight:

[Templaar]

First night of tries: 44% - definitely doable.

Healing note: its the add tank rather than the MT that takes a beating in this fight.

[Fagan]

Done some reading here and there and this should be doable in 25 with a single add tank if we have people to slow/snare the adds, mages frost circle, etc, to take the pressure off the healers. Of course we need a tank without DC/latency issues

Tankadins are well suited to it due to their ranged abilities and WoG self healing.

[Garfunkle]

From a healing perspective the add tank is the one that is taking ridiculous amounts of damage, but not at first. By the time it gets to the 3rd aberration release the tank is taking a lot of sustained damage.

I think that's why a paladin tank would be the preferred tank on it due to the self healing. Eases the pressure of the tank healer.

The video is the same as the one posted earlier in this thread, but thats not the part I want to draw your attention to. Please read the quote underneath the video, its a very well written explaination of the abilities of the boss and adds in the fight and how they should be tackled. It describes a few things that arent immediatley apparent/mentioned in the video.

Maloriak's enrage timer was inconsistent between difficulties and has been updated. It is now 7 minutes for normal difficulty and 12 minutes for Heroic difficulty.

We shouldn't have the problem with enrage now... :)

Nice one ! reaching enrage at below 10% a couple of times last night frustrated me no end...on top of the very bad latency both me and monty were suffering.

Maloriak will no longer be interrupted while casting Release All Minions.

Tanks and H will need to be awake. No more interrupting some of the casts, still, makes my life easier, just need one person to interrupt the arcane storm.

[Syrah]

You understand that is just the last cast at 25% don't you?

Release Aberrations, can still be interrupted. Just checking.
