Summary:
While a perfect taunt and threat rotation would be ideal, the cause of our failed Immortal run was due to one of two reasons. We could survive with 1 error, but not both.
What really happened?
Who is to blame?
Duvail, Archlight, Tyrani.
Duvail - Should have been meleeing to increase threat. I do not think his add ever melee'd the boss the entire fight. Could have taunted again to ensure aggro focus. His add was released .392 seconds too soon; however this was after the fact of a death in the raid.
Archlight - Should have been meleeing to increase threat. Did start meleeing after her first taunt. Might have been able to taunt 3 seconds earlier. [most of this due to lack of experience; ie first time]
Tyrani - Basically had higher aggro over the Understudy tank/offtank (controlled by Archlight/Duvail) and pulled threat when taunt expired. Tyrani could have been further away to ice block or to watch threat and drop it early.
Notes:
Understudy TAUNT is a melee range only.
Frostitude died second because one of the adds died. A faster Ice Block, threat management, an early taunt, voice comms over vent from healers and Mind Controllers could have helped to prevent this.
Combatlog Evidence:
*I added "#1" to the Understudy.
While a perfect taunt and threat rotation would be ideal, the cause of our failed Immortal run was due to one of two reasons. We could survive with 1 error, but not both.
- Mages pulling threat. Even when taunt expires the boss will still follow normal threat mechanics.
- According to wowhead, the Taunt lasts for 20 seconds AND only has a 10 second cool down. This means that future mind controllers need to spam taunt whenever it's up while bone shield is up. This could ensure the boss sticks to the add tanking.
What really happened?
- Duvail and Archlight picked up their mobs and both used Blood Strike.
- Both did not auto attack/melee the boss.
- 20 seconds later, taunt expired and Tyrani pulled aggro and was 1 shot.
- Duvail released his add.
- The boss came back to Archlight's Understudy and was taunted.
- Archlight did start meleeing the boss with her add.
