Awesome, we're doing much better than the first week already!
need to get my mage a couple more ilvl before saturday~
Also I was wondering for the final boss guy if a DPS warrior gets Branded is it possible we just Leap away from the DPS to clear the branding? Has a max range of 40 yd.

Its much easier to let the mages use their tricks and grab it. The entire key to winning the last fight is people not touching a mine and in P4 if you read that infographic you posted the mines trigger more mines. You also AE people as you run through that barrier he puts out. The fight honestly doesn't even begin until he goes into the air at 25%.

Fk that, I'll just bubble and pop the mines on people and then leave the raid.

No. It has a 200 yd range at zero stacks which is the whole room and it depends on which phase you're on if it's even possible to move away. In the second phase, when you get branded, there's this kind of hard to see brown circle that shows up around you and if you try to run out of that you get instantly teleported back to the middle. The strat is essentially how it was explained last night, the fight was just new for a lot of people and it's hectic at that moment. When you get branded, don't freak out. Let it build in the group you're in (our case in the melee group) up to 6 stacks...then back up a little bit (just a little bit) and a mage will come in and take it. Even in phase 2, where you get teleported, the circle is big enough for you to back away from the group enough for a mage to come find you.
This wasn't getting executed very well last night. And that's ok it was half the raid's first attempt on the guy. We didn't get far enough to see it, but we reach a point where raid damage gets so high that the healers won't be able to manage 6 extra people taking 100k damage because brand wasn't cleared properly.
It's cool though. This was the most difficult part of the fight for me to grasp when we were first learning it. It'll just take a few attempts for everyone.

That's what normally goes down, clear boss 7 minutes 25 seconds and then let melee wipe you.
Brand is what took almost our first night to understand (we liked not watching videos and learning it)

It's also important to note that the brand expiration doesn't do AE damage. I know when I have some debuff on me that requires movement I just kind of default to getting away from people. In this instance, it expires and just deals personal damage, but jumps and then dealsmoredamage to the next person. At 6 stacks it's hitting for probably 100k. If you let that keep going without properly dealing with it, the 9-12 stacks are just going to insta gib anyone they fall on. So it does become a part of the encounter you do have to manage as at the end of the fight you're going to need everyone alive.

One thing that annoys me is in an earlier version, DBM only threw up a range finder for the tank bomb, so I knew if I needed to adjust. Now it also puts the branded guy on there, which is pretty useless and confusing for me. I don't know if there's a way to turn that off.
I never just leave DBM stuff on default.
I do like that they put the adds on the boss frame though. At range the fatass could make targeting the add impossible. I wish tectus had it. Come to think of it, I never looked if he did.... (boss frame is often worthless and thus shoved on the left side of my screen)
What's schedule for imp reps / possible heroic? I guess I'll stop being a jew and gem and enchant those blues and buy some stacks of agi pots. It hurts, man.

Starting once we have the people online so 8-9pm est since there is no rerolled raid tonight? I'm going to pug whatever we don't have. I know some people wanted to come last night but it was our last pull so we'll see what we have. The key really is going to be making sure every dps can maintain 18.5k min for 5 minutes.
Imperator everyone but Fay is on Friday, Seravain can hopefully tank again or Fartbox.
Hist ended up getting his kill in this morning and went with a 4 healer strategy on butcher because of the falling behind starting at 30%. He said all 4 healers went into the transition at 30% with 75 mana and all of their cooldowns which made it an easy win. We had 38 seconds though with 8% left last night with 3 heals and 14 dps.
Basically. It goes red if you're in the danger zone, green when you leave the danger zone.
Where is this? Targeting those damn adds around a fatty was such a pita, I was going to make targeting hotkeys.

Since Brackenspore has eaten 5 of my seals now and not given me shit I crafted a gun (only needed 1 reroll for BiS stats!) and did the first upgrade for it, should have the final upgrade done next week. Noticeable improvement, also managed to grab the trinket from LFR so almost all out of blues. I'll be ready for Imperator and more heroic shit Friday(and Saturday/Sunday/Monday nights as well).
