I'm gonna have to ask some probably stupid questions because I didn't really understand a lot of that. Better I look dumb now than in the middle of raid, I guess. Let me go over what I think I do understand first.
So, from what I gather, the main difference between the 1 Keeper we've done and the 0 Keeper we're going to be working on is that the adds in P3 don't die. The adds won't go lower than 1% health no matter what we do. They do progressively less damage as their health goes down. However, Yogg likes to heal them.
Yogg casts Shadow Beacon on one of the adds (turning it into a "Marked Immortal Guardian") and then, ten seconds later, casts Empowering Shadows on that same mob. Empowering Shadows is like a mega aura that will heal the fuck out of any other mobs close to the one with the aura. So the plan is to taunt the add after it has Shadow Beacon but before it has Empowering Shadows so that when the aura is pulsing, it's not healing all the other bazillion adds that won't die.
Is that more or less it?
Questions I couldn't find answers to:
- When does he cast Shadow Beacon? From the fact that you've got 3 of us taunting, I would assume it's fairly often. One thing I read seemed to insinuate it was related to the health of the mobs, and another thing I read seemed to say he threw out several at a time on a regular interval.
- Does Empowering Shadows heal the mob it's on?
- How do we know the add that I taunt is not going to rape me? I'm going to be tanking it for 20 seconds or more. If it has low health and low damage output, then it's probably not an issue, but what if one has high health still?
- How am I going to keep it on me? Taunt only lasts so long. Will I need to try to threat it too? Or will we be chain taunting it around between the three of us?
- WTF does this mod do? It looks like it puts marks on any mob that gets Shadow Beacon. So basically, I'll be assigned an icon and will have to find and taunt that mark inside of about 5 seconds or so whenever it pops up. Sounds kinda easy but will be lame when there's 15 mobs all swarming the tank and I have to taunt one specific one.
How much healing you can expect from Jack and I is really dependent on how often we're gonna have to do this search and taunt shit. P3 healing is fairly light though assuming you do it right. We are going to have to go into that phase with virtually no tentacles up. We have not put much emphasis on getting these down in the past but three or more and you're probably looking at a wipe.
