Megaera

[Alaron]

This topic is for discussing Feral DPS tactics, monk tactics and/or general raid strategies for the Megaera encounter.

Please feel free to post tips, tricks, videos or ask questions. I will do my best to keep the top post updated with information as it arrives.

When discussing, please mention raid size (10/25) and difficulty (normal/heroic).

I'm curious about positioning on this one as well as Tortos - is there a way for us to use Shred on the heads, or do we glyph Tiger's Fury and just suck it up?

No issues to shred.

[Yriss Profile]

u can shred easily at least during "normal phase", but during wild phase (few secounds), perhaps u'll have to mangle a bit, depending on your strat/heals

[Dysheki Profile]

Lots of damage taken in 10 normal. Looks like we'll have to 4 heal it. (and i'll be HotW for the last rampage)

I can second a recommendation for HotW on this fight - the tranq is a big help around the 7th Rampage, and since we switch from head to head relatively rapidly, it's tough to make good use of the DoC rotation.

Also, not using DoC means you can save your Predatory Swiftness procs for just after the Acid Splash pops - as long as you're 20-ish yards away you don't take much damage, and I was seeing the PS-HT topping me most of the way up. It also really helps during the Rampage to be able to pop your PS procs when you need the healing, rather than when it's most effective in the rotation.

I also use Glyph of Shred because there were times, particularly when stacking for Rampage, that positioning for regular shreds wasn't working. In those cases it helped to have a few extra shreds during TF.

Use symbiosis on warlock , so u can switch your dots on the next hydra.

Does this actually work? There's no benefit in multi-dotting heads because they all heal to full after one is killed, and I would expect that you would have difficulties swapping dots after the active target dies, much like Garalon's legs. Do you swap the dots just before the active head dies and have them continue ticking onto the new kill target during the rampage? Unfortunately our warlocks are hot commodities for symbiosis anyway since the boomkins want to take the damage CD for rampages in our group...

[schams Profile]

Reset dots at 10-5% then swap.
moonkins can get cloak

we just started this on 10 normal tonight, but found a strat that allows melee to keep dps'ing during rampage. instead of backing up away from the bosses, just move from one to the other. on 10 normal you can just do red and green heads apparently.

sweetest thing is yes you can shred without being behind them! i was really annoyed there were 2 bosses in a row we can't shred till i found that out.

they had me tranq on 4th rampage, not sure if that's best but seemed to keep us alive for that one. haven't killed it yet, only had a few tries so far, so any more tips would be nice.

btw, what's the best 2nd choice for symbiosis on this (if warlock unavailable)?

[schams Profile]

I would say Pala for personal bubble or on priest (Also an additional Tranq)
