I was pugged in to do Eye of Eternity (Normal) with some friends from another guild since I was not locked this week. Some 10 tries later, the big boy bites the dust.
Some notes on some of the tactics for when we hit it:
Phase 1:
- Tank kept the dragons head away from group. (Positioning on platform was not a big concern)
- Death Knights had a macro to yoink+root the sparks, although I did end up having to root a few.
- After vortex, everyone runs south whilst tank picks up Malygos.
- Everyone always stands in an electric field for damage bonus. If possible, double stack the fields.
- It took on average 3-4 minutes to get him into the air.
- Everyone went all out with the DPS when he took off, taking him to between 40% and 45% before he flies away. (At this point I evocate for phase 2.
Phase 2:
- Stay in bubbles, run to new ones as soon as they appear UNLESS a deep breath is imminent.
- 2 of the disc-folk will land, they’re tanked and spanked.
- 2 best melee take the disks, and go up to attack said disc-folk whilst the ranged attack from afar.
- Each time one dies, it drops a disk – and people hop on and get safely in the air.
- Once all disk-folk are dead, Phase 3 begins.
Phase 3:
- First time was a quick wipe
- Second time we hit the enrage (were missing some DPS from a bad phase 2.)
- Third time we entered the phase with 3min 24 on the clock, and we got him down with about 30s left, and 2 down – so I would hazard a guess that in order to succeed here you need 3 minutes.
- As an aside, people tried to stick together, whilst 2 people healed.
To conclude: It was a very good trip, and gave me a good heads up on the requirements for the fight. I don’t think we have enough DPS that’s willing to attend at present. I am in the top 3 DPS in the guild as far as I am aware, and I was 4th on the damage meters (Highest DPS though, so it’s certainly viable) I can only think of a half a dozen people that would output enough damage for this fight in the guild, although as mentioned – highest DPS doesn’t = top slot on damage meters, its all about up-time... Or something like that!
Overall, it was a fun 2 hours :)
