Malygos down

Nice 10-man ad-hoc run at Malygos tonight; after much tenacity, a very nice kill - pic below:

Phase 1 and 2 were easy; we were getting to phase 3 with >4mins left with no problem with 3 healers in group, which is plenty of time to kill Maly in phase 3. Our only prob was handling the drakes. We had about 5 rubbish attempts, and two 'improving' at phase 3 while we worked stuff out which is often not mentioned in tactics, or not highlighted, and got it all clear. Then we all understood and nailed it easily with no deaths :) Nice tenacity, patience and focus, big grates to all.

Tactic Info regarding phase 3 for future ref:

1. dps mostly just hit '1' over and over until 5 combo points, then '2' to add debuff to boss. This stacks, so try and get next on him asap before they expire.

2. keep moving right, staying out of the static cloud, but keeping grouped up so you benefit from the aoe heals that the healers are doing.

3. when malygos 'looks at you' you must use your shield ('5') BUT NOTE that if you move once the shield is on you, you lose the shield and take massive dmg, so DONT MOVE until he finishes casting on you.

4. if you get TOO CLOSE or TOO FAR from Malygos, he does constant high dmg on you and kills you, so stay at mid-range.

I think most people know points 1 and 2 above, but 3 and 4 were not properly understood and we had to work it out the hard way; once we understood those, we nuked him easily with all surviving, and killed him on the next attempt, so hopefully the above is clear enough to help others understand ready for our next 25-man visit.

Cheers for now, and grats again to the team for the kill tonight, nice work guys,

As.

Grats on killing Malygos!

Tactics wise you might want to consider using a different strategy, especially for 25 mans, to make fase 3 alot easier.

We assign 4 people as healers in 25 mans (2 healers in 10 man) and all they do is build 5 combopoints with the HoT's on themselves, press the AoE heal and start all over again. The AoE heal instantly heals everyone thats close enough for 25% of their healthpoints, so with 4 healers it's 100% of everyone's healthpoints every so many seconds as it takes to build the combo points. It's certainly more then enough to survive his Surge of Power, even multiple in a row.

All other people only do dps and nothing else. Don't bother with shields as getting most in your group to do that at the right time will take an immense ammount of wipes before everyone gets the hang of that. Those doing dps also shouldn't build 5 combo points but a maximum of 3 and then use the 'Engulf in flames' finisher and once you get the hang of the fight 2 combo points is even enough. All the extra combopoints do is make the stack of dot's last longer. 5 stacks means that the dot lasts for 22 seconds. But the goal of fase 3 is to stack as many of the dots as possible, so using the finisher after 3 combo points means you stack more dots faster, so he goes down faster. 3 combo points dots gives you more then enough time to start a new stack of 3 combo points and use the finisher again even if you have to move from the static energy that damages you (make sure everyone moves in the same direction when this is on you btw, either left or right, but always have everyone moving in the same direction). Two combopoints also still gives you enough time to re-apply your dot before the stack runs out, but that takes more practise as you need to keep using that while you move from the static, so 3 is a bit safer.

The goal for everyone should be to have a stack of 20 dots up on Malygos when he dies and never ever let your stack wear out as then you have to start all over building that stack and dps is too low

If you do it this way all you need to worry about is to keep everyone grouped up, both horizontaly and vertically (to have the AoE heals hit everyone). Have one of the dps that understands the fight (range etc) mark themselves with a raid mark and have everyone always fly on top of the mark.
