Note to MT, take warbringer to charge back into the boss so that he does not move around too much when you pull out during overload - otherwise the mines don't stack neatly on top of one another and may get too close to ranged/healers.
-----------------------------------
Go in with a very conservative healing lineup on learning attempts.
3 Holy Paladins - maybe overkill, but pallies bring alot of raid dmg mitigation and having 3 will allow us to fully freedom the hunter tank during phase 3. Put up Fire Resistance Aura.
2 Resto Shamans - chain heals on their groups during phase 2
2-3 Holy Priests - prayer of healing on their groups during phase 2
0-1 Resto Druid - wildgrowth on the melee group + innervate and combat rez
1 MT
1 Hunter Tank
1 Gennocide Tank
1 DK Tank
------------------------
1 Tank
8 healers
16 DPS
phase 1
Tank CD Rotation for Plasma Blast: last stand, shield wall, shield block, guardian spirit
SAVE DIVINE SACRIFICE FOR PHASE 2
If melee are failing at avoiding overload + landmines try the following ideas:
1. rogue can disarm the mines
2. if center positioning doesn't work try tanking off to the side
3. To avoid double coverage of landmines around melee, the tank tanks to the far 4 o'clock position, raid stays near center on other half of the circle. When Melee pulls out during overload they run to the center of the room, however, the tank repositions at the 1 o'clock position, clear of the first wave of land mines. Melee gets back in once the Leviathan tank runs over to the tank in the new position.
phase 2
Groups 3 4 5 will be all healer + ranged groups, they distribute themselves evenly throughout their allotted third of the room. Thin, single file circle close to the center of the room and the boss. Keep the dark avenues cleared so that melee can position themselves on them, this should keep the aoe off the casters when mimiron focuses on the melee.
We will use the following pally cooldowns during this phase in this order:
aura mastery chosin
divine sac chosin
aura mastery nobkin
divine sac nobkin
aura mastery rhonus
divine sac rhonus
Start off with aura masteries first since they provide less protection, and when things start getting really rough the divine sac should give enough breathing room for the healers to top everyone off. Pallies call it out when your rotation is done so that the next one in line can start using theirs. (aura mastery + fire resistance aura + mark of the wild should temporarily grant the raid 314 resistance)
EVERYONE! NEEDS TO AVOID ROCKET STRIKES DURING THIS PHASE! DO NOT TUNNEL VISION!
phase 3
hunter on assault bots - only snares! DO NOT ROOT THE ASSAULT BOT EVER! If you do, the melee will start getting 1 pumped (combat mechanics 101, rooted mobs that cannot melee their primary aggro targets will hit next highest aggro target in melee.). Kite tank the assault bots, these need to go down immediately!
Once the assault bot dies, all dps switch to the command center - one of the designated melee need to loot the magnetic core and use it directly underneath the command center.
Lukelee tanks junk bots, don't dps junk bots, keep all dps on assault bots, at the end of phase 3, we aoe down all the junk bots
Dk on bombs, taunt and root bombs - position yourself directly underneath the boss as that is where these bomb bots spawn. Wear DPS gear, but tank in frost presence, blow cooldowns. These bombots explode for around 25k. You will use a stam flask. If problems keeping up the DK tank, choose the DK that has some pvp gear for extra stam.
Gennocide tanks the Command Center - head.
phase 4
Spinning Up, Laser Barrage
DO NOT DIE IF YOU ARE THE INITIAL TARGET DURING LASER BARRAGE, IF YOU DIE HE GOES CRAZY SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER LASER BARRAGE TARGET AND EVERYONE DIES! DO NOT FEIGN, VANISH, INVIS, OR ICE BLOCK IF YOU ARE THE TARGET OF LASER BARRAGE!
If dps is low, there is a point in time where overload and laser barrage will happen at the same time.
This means the tank has to eat both. Tank needs to save last stand+shield wall+shield block+guardian spirit for this occasion!
During this phase there are 2 tanks - Gennocide and Lukelee, Gennocide tanks the head, Lukelee tanks the base.
All ranged DPS sit on head.
All melee DPS sit on base.
Once your target reaches 10%, switch to DPSing the center.
Once all 3 pieces are below 10%, we will blow lust and down all three pieces. It is important that we save blood lust for the close of phase 4 because all 3 pieces need to be killed within 10 seconds of one another. The blood lust will let is cover any incongruencies between the DPS on the three seperate pieces.
Aura mastery and divine sacrifice should be back up, we will use them during this phase, same rotation as from phase 2.
We will use the following positioning scheme.
If the raid is positioned well, the tank should never have to adjust for laser barrage, since the laser barrage will only turn maximum 180 degrees. A set up where the tank doesn't have to move is ideal because mimiron is extremely twitchy. If the tank accidentally walks too close into his hit box, or too far from his hit box while rotating through the laser barrage, it twitch turn the entire boss in a completely different direction - this can often one shot the entire raid as the laser barrage will start spinning out of control.
Tank positions at the 3 o'clock location or 9 o'clock position. The entire raid positions between the 4 and 6 o'clock positions, or 10 and 2 o'clock positions.
The general rule here is: always have the tank on your right, never ever should the tank ever be on your left side. Nor should you be ever on the opposite side of the tank. If the tank is at the 3 o'clock position, you should never be further than the 8 o'clock position. If the tank is at the 9 o'clock position, you should never be further than the 2 o'clock position.
We will handle this over vent by telling the raid to position either on the south side or the north side. While the tank is at the 3 o'clock position, everyone position in the south side. Never near the tank, never directly opposite the tank. While the tank is at the 9 o'clock position, everyone position in the north side. Never near the tank, never directly opposite the tank.
If you are standing on the wrong side, you will get the tank gibbed by laser barrage.
Once Laser Barrage starts, everyone start rotating clock wise.
Once Laser Barrage is over, the tank will reposition himself to the opposite side. This way, the tank will never have to move during laser barrage.
Spread out! Pay Attention to DBM - Mimiron rocket strikes during this phase! Do not get hit by rocket strikes! It is an instant gib. It targets 2 people.
Melee, do not ever stand in the MT position, there is only a 2 in 25 chance that the tank can be the target of the rocket strike as long as you do not stand anywhere near the tank.
The downside to this positioning is that more people will be hit by the hand pulse - less risk to the tank, but more risk to the dps and healers. However, we are going into phase 4 with 3 sacrifices and 3 aura masteries. This gives us a combined 60 seconds of very high aoe dmg mitigation on the raid. Hopefully by the time the 60 seconds are up, we are ready to blow blood lust and down him altogether.
DO NOT TUNNEL VISION!
STAY ALERT!
DO NOT DIE TO OVERLOADS, ROCKET STRIKES, OR LASER BARRAGES!
-----------------
alternative #2, if phase 4 is far too chaotic to use this positioning scheme, have everyone just go back to their original places in the south / near the big red button. Basic idea - raid always on the left hand side of the tank and never directly opposite of him.
alternative #3, if even this doesn't work. We take two tanks. The OT positions himself directly opposite the MT but a bit counterclockwise, when spinning up is being cast, he immediately taunts off the MT allowing the MT to run around Voltron. MT then acts as the OT, positions himself to taunt off the OT on the next laser barrage.
alternative #4, just suck it up - switch to walk and slowly turn with the barrage and hope he doesn't go crazy.
Watch this one also in addition to the stratfu movie, shows how much communication is needed on this fight.
