Phase 1:

Stay at least 5 yards apart.
Shock Blast: Tank run out when casts and Charge when there's less then a second left. All melee out.
Proximity Mines: Melee try to avoid them. Always watch for an opening when they land and move there.
Napalm Shell: Target can't avoid, so must be healed through initial damage and the DoT. Stay spread out or will hit more.
Plasma Blast: Very high damage to Tank. CD rotation recommended.

Phase 2:

DPS race.
Heat Wave: Just heal through it.
Rapid Burst: His main attack. During transition, spread out in a circle with healers distributed.
Spinning Up/Laser Barrage: Just like Lurker's Spout. He will spin in a clockwise direction for about 120 degrees. Move behind him when he is spinning up.
Targetting circle for Rockets: If you see one on the ground, get the hell out of it. It WILL kill you. (AKA Red Circle of Death) Melee call it out.

Phase 3:

One tank stand under Aerial unit, taunt bombs as they land and eat the explosions.
Warlock tank the head with High agro attacks(searing pain / life drain). 9k damage every 3-4 seconds
Ignore the Magnetic Cores.
Adds -
Assault Bots: Can be tanked in 10-man, need to be kited/slowed/stunned/snared/rooted in 25-man. Dispel the root on the tanks ASAP
Bomb Bots: Tank under aerial unit just eat them.
Junk bots: They will just die....
Melee on the Adds, ranged on the boss.

Kill all adds before Phase 4

Phase 4:
This is all 3 first phases together.
Targetting circle for Rockets: If you see one on the ground, get the hell out of it. It WILL kill you.

Tank circle strafe during Laser barrage. Tap strafe, since fast movement can cause him to flip out.
Head needs to be tanked by Warlock
Bottom needs to be tanked by a tank.
Middle has no agro.
All three section start at 50% health and need to die within seconds of each other.
You have: Proximity Mines, Shock Blast, Spinning Up/Laser Barrage, Plasma ball, and a new Rapid Burst called Hand Pulse.

You need to angle your camera up enough to see which way the middle is facing. When he does "Spinning Up", make sure you move from in front of him. (The MIDDLE section, not the bottom)

We'll get each part down to 5-10% health, then burn all 3 together.

Does it hurt more than C'thun's laser?

Bumpage since he's on our radar.

I've found it's a better strat for phase two to have the healers distributed through each group and place each group standing in their own spot with all its members stacked on top of each other.

That way to help those few ppl every raid has who can't move out of the fire on time from being killed by the missile....raid leader calls out Group 1 or Group 2 (or group whatever number gets the red rune under them) move.

Of course, after the laser barrage when everybody needs to run to avoid being hit, groups will need to get back in their positions. Phase 2 is the best phase for Bloodlust, as this is the phase where the most casualties will occur.

The group I ran this with did it that way for two reasons. 1- I already mentioned about random ppl being targeted by the missile and not moving. 2 - It's a lot easier to heal your own group when your taking the regular damage from his gun rather than going all out trying to heal yourself and anyone else who may be in range.

Agreed. or if not stacked on top of each other, at least in range of PoH, CoH, CH, WG, etc.

The above strat is basically unaltered from before...well since 4/27... I hadn't even see the fight yet.


Mimi has too much going on to 'get it' without wiping at least a few times.
