HEROIC Hagara the Stormbinder - DEFEATED 04/03/12

[Azunai]

4 minutes of active time on the boss... Consider Yor'sahj has 80something million HP and we do that in 10 minutes, of which we spend maybe 2 minutes on ooze killing. We also have 1 more DPS on this one. It'll be tight, but it adds up

[hubbah]

hagara is not hitteble for 50% of the time as well

[Azunai]

Aye but the enrage is longer than 4 minutes

[microid]

hagaras enrage timer on hardmode is 10mins and 8min on normal. hp 52m i migth be wrong as usual but dont think the dps is a problem in this encounter.

RGT will be looking at this fight this week, so make sure you are up to speed for it please!

[microid]

this boss whit the 5% nerf should have 49,6M hp which is less than normal mode ultraxion and we killed him in 3m 38s. so less than 4min active time on boss and hes dead. enrage timer is 10m. so we have 6m to do the rest.

electricity phase is heavy healing my opinion everyone who can heal will stack in middle and heal. 4 runners whit def cooldowns 2 left and right.

ice phase. those evil ice blocks got more health than wotlk raid bosses. about 10m combined health. no idea what to whit them. most videos shows that peeps are nuking them down one by one. they go in middle when ever an icewall is nearby then back to nuking the ice.

i would say we need 3 healers on this one. and tessy to taunt the boss in rapid attack thingy.

Bump for Tuesday night, we'll be learning this fight before clearing the rest of the instance.

Only problem with that though is with people with dots/bleeds having to re-apply them every time she comes out of one of the phases so the DPS won't be as constant as Ultraxion.

Thread notes that you can dispell inside the bubble to avoid the ice patches.   The theory being that healing up one person is easier than having to heal up the whole raid due to AOE!

"Pets can chain so if you have pet classes they can take up people's spots and have more sitting middle, not taking any damage. "

Nature resistance is important!!  Check range!
Off-specs can assist on healing during lighting phase

Aim for 10 seconds max in Lightning phase

Damn it, does this mean I have to actually do something this fight

[Azunai]

Nice to know you're admitting to being my pet then :-D

I've also seen video's where they're using 4 people to chain the whole thing (2 left, 2 right), rather than using 2 people for each quarter (8 in total). But not sure if we'll manage healing wise.

[hubbah]

well we can try with the pet, me and Jes both on a side and ill take torg and Jes takes whitey ( so thats 6 inc pets   )

[TeaLeaf]

To determine whether you will get an Ice Phase or a Lightning Phase first, simply look at the visual effect on Hagara's weapon before the pull (it will either be a frost effect or a lightning effect).

You learn something every day!

[TeaLeaf]

Grounding Totem is not consumed by Ice Lance but it is consumed by Shattered Ice. So it may be a good idea to have a Shaman in the same group as the tank or the melee DPS designated to take damage from Shattered Ice, and let this Shaman drop Grounding Totem as soon as Ice Lance begins.

More goodness.

Ill try to make some http://www.wowhead.com/item=29530 tonight. Should help us out at the electric phase.
