How to perform better on Deathwing hc ?

[Lucifr]

Hey Guys,

last night i killed with my guild spine hm. so we're now in front of deathwing himself. we had enaugh time to start our first 5 trys on the boss. we performed not that bad and are now on the 4th platform with nozdormu. but i worry about my dmg. cause all of the time im just around 65k to 67k dps. i try to focus alot on the corruption so i cast less multi dot on the tentacle and just dots on the parasite. of course also mindspike on the bolt. we bombt the blood infront of the corruption. i damaged the blood with multi doting vt und spamming mindsear.

any ideas whats wrong, in my opinion its the blood bombing etc

I haven't done the encounter on HM, but the best advice I can give is patience. As you get more comfortable in the HM version your ability to squeeze higher numbers out of the encounter will increase. You have two casters in front of you with the legendary staff and a rogue on the way to getting his legendary, getting 250 AGI for free on his 2/2 weapon bonus. Its tough to compete with that.

SPELLWEAVE. Your issue is Spellweave procs. Shadow Word: Pain is your friend. Keep it on the bloods AT ALL TIMES. When they all come out, you'll have to tab-dot them with SW:P.
For the single blood that stays up all other times, I made/used this macro:

Code: Select all

/target regenerative blood
/cast shadow word: pain
/targetlasttarget

Bind it to something that's easy to hit. I have a Razer Naga mouse, so one click and this macro switched to the target, dotted it, and switched back to my last target. I can not stress to you enough how important it is to keep SW:P on every blood in sight.

For AOE'ing the bloods, make a macro to target the tank who picks those up.

You should probably make a macro for Bolt too. Sometimes targeting it can be touch and go, so better safe than sorry. I used this macro for mine:

Code: Select all

/target Corrupting Parasite
/target Elementium Bolt

They're never up at the same time so you can use the same macro for both if you need to.

Don't mind sear the fragments on the 5th platform. I multi-dot them and always start on the back ones first. You'll use the same Mind Sear macro on this platform too.

Hope this helps.

This is also called whoring the meters......................

This sounds accurate.

Dotting them before the AOE to kill them is a good idea, dotting them at ALL TIMES is just so you see big numbers. The damage done will be worthless though.

No, this is called doing it right. It may not be what top guilds like Method do since you have a billion staves, but other guilds who need to meet the DPS check on corruptions/parasites do this.

Additionally, a quote from Blood Legions strategy guide. For each platform: "-Tank picks up Regenerative Blood and pulls them near the Mutated Corruption for Spellweave Cleave."

I still argue that it is poor advice because you mention nothing about the timing.

If you're doing it right away and sw:pain has a chance to fall off before it's pulled on top of the Mutated Corruption, then it's padding. If the dots stay on when AOE is called for, then it's good...

Anyone that's got any experience on this fight, which the OP clearly has, should know the timing by now as it's a relatively easy thing to pick up. I'm not here to provide strategy guides on this fight, therefore, timing wasn't part of the conversation.

The timing doesnt matter at all. You pretty much want dots up all the time you can because spellweave is an aoe effect, so its single target dps increase to dot the bloods, I normally dot with VT tho. But regardless its single target dps increase to dot. When your guild doesnt have that great of gear, or staves you should be multi-dotting the bloods. The timing means nothing at all.

@Drye

Do you do more DPS on the Corruption if you DoT up the Bloods?
