We tend to run with 6 healers for this fight. I have my raid frames set to show who has unchained magic so I know which healers are out of action. It usually seems to be half of them! A slight benefit from the debuff means mana isn’t an issue for the fight, you end up standing there regenerating so much of the time.

I like the idea of using flares to mark spots. Though for some reason people are in the habit of following whoever gets marked!

The server and several peoples connections were against us last night on her. One blistering cold and the server hiccuped and we found the entire raid halfway up the stairs, dead.

Battle res can be fun, I cast it in an air phase, when I wasn’t standing behind the ice. The target accepted, and instantly died again as her attack hit the ground! It always cracks me up when I lose someone to a battle res related death. I think we managed 4 deaths of a single person one night in a single attempt on Putricide.

Beru: I always raid with a second druid – he covers groups 5-3, I cover groups 1-3 (melee – since I have Revitalize). It works well. Plus with the tanks taking such huge damage, a faster ticking rejuv is very good. Not to mention the bigger damage in P3 – helps to heal people up faster. Perhaps if I was running solo I would swap RR out, but otherwise it works excellently.

Again – backlash has never been a problem for me, I tend to be able to back off without too many problems, even in P3, so I don’t really worry about being able to do more while I have unchained magic.

We generally take 7 healers, I think.

Draik: playing with a constant 500ms makes Barkskin extremely useful Certainly you don’t need to spec Imp Barkskin if you don’t want to, but I find it very handy for a number of fights, so if I can fit it into my spec, I do.

Plus, shifting to travel form = no heals while I run. If I Barkskin, I can forget about Blistering Cold (whether I get hit or not) and continue to heal people as I run away. I’d rather take the hit and continue to heal.. than go travel and not heal people on the way out.

Personal preference I suppose – but I think that it’s more important to be able to hit Barkskin and keep healing, especially if someone else accidentally takes a hit, and I can Swiftmend them on the run.

Naturally this can help with the air phases too if you find yourself stranded away from the iceblocks – although clearly this is only gonna occur if you’re really not paying attention.

Anyhoo, good stuff.

I do have one comment/question re: RR for this fight.

I’m not entirely certain that the fight mechanics favor a shorter rejuv if you are assigned to raid healing. Even though the RR will heal up the damage quickly, I think that the longer ticking rejuv should be more valuable given the unchained magic effect, as it would mean that you can keep more rejuvs ticking w/o having to stack up as much backlash on yourself. It also means that the rejuvs that you had going before you get unchained magic will last further into your unchained magic debuff, meaning that you will get more effective healing done while debuffed, no?

I’m not against RR, just curious about its use here, as it seems counter-intuitive for me!

How many healers did you use for the fight?
