Was quite a fun fight ...

Nice guide to "live" boss encounter and some nice comments to boot.

It was abit of a pain to be the flame thrower dude along side feez, but it was only us who could do it really....

From what i can see it is ALL fight we must run around toasting the moss :(. Helping out with dps when we can, we do get a damage buff from using it but sometimes running in range to dps the boss for 3-4 secs then running back out was a bit of a mare. Also as stated on the above vid and in the guide ive posted it grows quicker the more there is so the priority over EVERYTHING is just to burn moss. Other wise the gun overheats and its a 10 sec cooldown, then the gun has to actually reduce its heat enough so you dont overheat almost immediately...so really if you overheat you cant use the gun for 14-15 secs...lots of moss...wipe!
Looks like its best dare i say it for a dotter or an insane burst dps range to be on the guns as we can throw the odd dots on the adds around and if close enough dps the boss for 2-3 secs tops.
As we can be away from the group we will need to use personal CD's to try and limit some of the damage we take and also if we could get a couple hots when the healers see us running off and then we wont have to run as much for healing mushrooms etc.

This will cause another issue....2 dps not really doing dps :P We definitely need 2 more range i'd say. They can take the pea shooters out without melee having to run around...Val did a great job on these and dps was great but imagine what he could do on the boss and big add with cleave, with out having to jump out to take out the pea shooters..

Overall i found it a really fun fight and with abit of tweaking we will have it in 1st few pulls i reckon.

Snipits found

Tanks @90 deg to each other to avoid breath
Flame people (/click ExtraActionButton1) dont let it over heat (may be possible for a healer to take 1 flamethrower)
Pop green mushroom before the aoe and let it die after the cast (dont waste mana keeping it alive) Use raid cd if we dont have a green for infectious spaws
Pop Blue Mushroom asap (blue has prio over green) keep up as long as possible for dps buff
