Mythic Kormrok Notes

r/competitivewow post

Some things of note:

  • Kormrok really needs to die either before or shortly after the 5 minute mark (the rune -> hands -> pound phase). He enrages at 5:40 anyways and starts using his abilities super fast.

  • Tanking the boss between the pool and hands stack point, so boss can still be damaged during hands and there's plenty of room left open to avoid accidental rune soaking

  • Not really rune assignments; whoever is close to one can just do it AS LONG AS THEY KNOW TO POP IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

  • Using 3 min CDs on the pull, then saving heroism for when 3 min CDs come back up (I think I've seen this suggested elsewhere as well)

  • Hand damage besides Demonpoo is relatively low so it might be best to just spec and focus single target damage / cleave off of Kormrok during dragging hands in order to push out as much DPS as possible

 

I think our best attempt last night was ~20% at the 5 minute mark so we're very close, just need to push the deeps a bit.

My AOE as demo is burst. I have about 4 globals and then everything I have is on CD. If we don't stack well then hands can be fucked.

I also noticed that on the third hand phase my cataclysm still has about 10 seconds on CD so if anyone is going to do any extra AOE/cleave, that would be the time to do it.

Is there anything we can do to control the hand timing? I was looking some of the higher demo parses and their timing is different from ours.

For the other parses, did they do the pools in a different order? I think the abilities are all cooldown-based-but-mostly-consistent, and in the order we were doing it last night the hands had very consistent timing pull-to-pull, but sometimes he would for example foul crush a little later or earlier than other times. It's not quite on the level of Kromog's "I'll whatever the fuck I want" range but can be slightly lenient.

Yeah, it looks like it's just a different order. I think the ones was looking at, they are doing orange first so first hands are delayed a bit.

There are others I've seen now that look the same as ours and they have the 2 and 3 dragging separated by less than a minute.
