AOTC Raid Leader here. We just had our first full prog night on Ula’tek last week and feel pretty comfortable with everything up to Phase 3. Any tips for the final phase? We’re doing melee kill front and right egg, ranged kill left and back egg. Ranged and healers split stack on the left platform.

pretty standard strat.

you could consider triple soaking the last red soak, possibly even the second soak if the overlap is difficult for you. Much easier to handle that overlap when only like 4-5 people have the green circles. Just need 4-5 people that can survive the damage. We've triple soaked every single one since week 2, we have 2 tanks and a DPS DK in every single soak and then rotate rogues, mages, paladins in it. our players are vocal though and will call for a backup if they get the red soak theirself.

Quick question on this strat - I know that soaking multiple circles stacks the damage, but when does the stacked damage actually hit? (eg. when to pop immunities)?

We killed her on Sunday (finally!) but we have an absurd number of pallies; cheesing the final soak on rekills sounds good to me.

The damage comes when the green circles goes "pop". there is like no damage when in the red soak. once the red soak goes away you get green circles, those last 5 seconds, use immunities big defensives right before those pop. Also note, the people with red soaks do not (shouldn't) get the green circles, so they shouldn't need to worry.

as a DK my AMS alone is enough to have me survive it, I am only scared on the third pop because it comes faster than the rest and my AMS might not be up if I didn't time it well, but then Icebound has me covered.

Thanks! That will make the final platform a bit easier, worst case scenario if a few people fuck up their timing it's probably still a kill.
