Maloriak and too much dps?

[mekell Profile]

Those of you that have Mal on farm, are you guys encountering the issue we are, which is pushing Mal to 25% so fast that you have to sit around and wait for the 2nd green phase to happen?

I am referring to normal mode. This fight actually seems to be getting harder with more gear. Well, maybe not harder, but more "finiky" if you know what i mean.

My question is, if the above is true, what have you guys found to make this fight less prone to "standing around" waiting on a 2nd green phase? Or just in general, how you guys handle the fight when his health is dropping too fast.

I just realized that this isnt neccessarily a kitty dps question. So if someone needs to move or close this thread, feel free. Sorry about that. Otherwise, input is appreciated.

We have started running into this. We just blitz then wait. Kindof sucks. Last night i was topping meters on my way to a ranked attempt i am sure then we had to call an all DPS stop. I took the time to pool energy and chat in party chat. I was allready at the back door so i dropped 3 mushrooms in prep for the coming AOE section. It isn't ideal i guess but it works. ALso it is a sign we need to move on to HM Mal.

We got the same on HM maloriak

We call for a hard stop to dps at 32%. I suppose we could speed things up by killing more adds in the first green phase and then kiting the remaining ones through the burn phase

Same. We usually spend most of the last red or blue phases just trying to not die before we go crazy on the last green.

We stop at 30%, green is right after and we push from that moment on.

Thanks guys, we are just halting dps too, its just an annoying mechanic that looks pretty much unavoidable.
