I don't remember seeing it used but it could make that tantrum seem like a mere fit.Eleazarjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443708389696417671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150232261958731603.post-24613702673064619442009-04-23T07:28:00.000-07:002009-04-23T07:28:00.000-07:00Apparently, XT-002 heals to full HP after you dest...Apparently, XT-002 heals to full HP after you destroy the heart, so you actually kill the heart when it is first exposed. On the upside, once the heart is done, there are no more adds spawned, so you just kill the remaining adds and then focus on the boss. Gravity bombs will continue to be gravity bombs, but spawn void zones. Light bombs will continue to be light bombs, but spawn lightning sparks that do AOE damage. The boss hits 30% harder and has 40% more HP. Without the adds being spawned, I think we can deal with the extra damage. Hopefully the tantrum isn't increased by 30%...Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419321845413197378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150232261958731603.post-22511775583519171382009-04-23T07:23:00.000-07:002009-04-23T07:23:00.000-07:00According to the patch notes I read, he will not c...According to the patch notes I read, he will not cast gravity bomb or light bomb during a tantrum. However, some people may have left over gravity or light bombs from before he starts the tantrum. I had a light bomb on me when he started and it almost killed me, but luckily I had an ice block to use (best to save ice blocks until they are absolutely necessary rather than using it on the first tantrum to help the healers).<br /><br />But yeah, grouping up would probably help. For the most part, I tried to stay somewhat separated from everyone so I didn't get caught next to a light or gravity bomb. Also, it's much easier for us DPS to run away from the healers than having the healers run away when they are a bomb.<br /><br />On Razorscale, something I learned from <A HREF="http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2009/04/17/healing-ulduar-razorscale/" REL="nofollow">The World of Matticus</A> is that the blue flames are cast on whoever is nearest to him, so I stayed as far away as possible at all times just DPSing the watchmen and sentinels from max distance and I think I had one blue bolt cast on me. Also, I had zoomed my camera way out to better see them coming. I got hit by one during both fights and only for one tick. I think if we go in with two healers next time, we could easily get him to 50% on his second landing, thus getting us the achievement, A Quick Shave. I think we hit 55% last night on her second landing, one more DPS would easily get us to 50.<br /><br />I also think that we could easily take out XT-002 on hard mode. We save the heroism for 25% and destroy the heart during that phase. It will increase his damage and HP and throw some other curves at us, but I think we could easily do it.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419321845413197378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150232261958731603.post-42877170063699092292009-04-23T06:28:00.000-07:002009-04-23T06:28:00.000-07:00This was a really fun night.

It was awesome to see that healing the razorscale fight, even with two healers, is not too horrible as long as people are aware of the flame. The really scary part is the Tantrum on XT-002. I was thinking? Do you think it would be ok to group up together on that phase or are the people who are bombs hazards to the raid at that point? It would make it easy to chain heal for Jizo, I have a glyph that allows me to aoe heal to a degree, and Dylana could wild growth.Eleazarjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443708389696417671noreply@blogger.com
