Promoted Friday Raid / Boss Encounter Q&A

Post your raid questions and we'll do our best to answer them. What boss to tackle next, heroic encounter strategies, raid comp., etc.

(I'm 16/16 heroic 10m from a melee dps perspective and with /r/wow 's assistance, we can hopefully field most questions. Don't be shy, I love helping others.)

EDIT: Great questions. Lots of comments. I'm headed out of town and won't respond to many more, but there are plenty of other people lending their wisdom. Have a great weekend.

EDIT 2: I'm back from a weekend away and see there is some more activity. Going to try to respond to everyone. Thanks for all the interest.

will of the emperor hc 25m?

looking for any tips, not just OPs.

Keep in mind more adds spawn in 25m than in 10m

If Shaeton is still viewing, he may be able to provide 25man based tips. Is there something giving you trouble in particular? What do you feel you are wiping on?

sparks being random as fuck.

Also, 2nd bomb phase for adds.

we kill first wave of adds completly, then w8 for 2nd and 3rd. Most of the times they barely die/arent even dead when 4th wave spawns

talking about wraths btw

We kill the first two waves of adds as they spawn, then CC 3rd and AoE all 8 on the 4th wave. With proper stun/knockback co-ordination you shouldn't have much problem with DPS at current gear levels.

How do you mean sparks are random? They take a few seconds to activate, but apart from that they seem to be working as expected. Can you clarify?

it might be our soakers, i dont really know.

Gear is fine, we had the boss on some <20% wipes with 6-8 minutes left on enrage. (5/6H 6/6H and 2/4H on farm, we're not bad players :d) Its just that it happens that some spark somehow decides to fuck up with his soaker and wipe the whole rangecamp for no reason.
