So we had our first look at Colliseum: Beasts last night. As I said earlier it was my first go at Raid Leading (even though I have been Healing Lead for a while it’s still a big step up for me haha)

I wont go through all the abilities but I will talk about how we did it

Phase 1 – Gormak

1. 2 Tanks, 6 Healers should be enough
2. Spread out around the boss prior to the pull
3. Tank in the middle of the colliseum
4. All ranged focus on Snobold Vassal (/target Snobold Vassal is your friend)
5. Tanks switch after every 3rd Impale
6. Dont stand in fire ya nub

Heal Assigns

Boss Tank (will be switching) – Pally 1,Druid 1
Tank Cleanup (after they have switched out) – Priest 1 (then on boss tank)
Melee – Priest 2
Raid – Shammy 1, Druid 2

So basically we have 2 MT healers who will always be on the current tank, as the tank switch is called, the 2 healers will switch with a Third tank healer cleaning up on that tank (while debuff is still active) and then moves back to the new MT.

Phase 2 – Acidmaw & Dreadscale

On the transition from Phase 1 to 2 the tank with the least Impale debuffs will be tanking the ‘Above Ground Boss’ (now known as AGB. I believe for us the starting AGB was Dreadscale every time.

1. Main Tank taunted the AGB while a Ranged Tank (we used a Lock) held aggro on the other boss.
2. Ranged should keep spread out and away from the front of the bosses to avoid issues where Burning Bile victims are blowing each other up.
3. All DPS on AGB!!
4. Main Tank kited the AGB clockwise
5. Paralytic Toxins are called (MT,Ranged,Melee)
6. Burning Biles are called and single person is chosen each time to run to the Toxin victims, DPS being the first choice.
7. Acidmaw must be killed first otherwise their is no way to cleanse the Toxin victims
8. Make sure you set a backup ranged tank (or two)
9. Note that when the bosses switch you can see a cloud of dust, this is where the boss will come back up again.

Ideal Setup

I know I know I’m not gonna win any awards for my picture

A: Above Ground Boss and direction to be faced
B: Below Ground Boss and direction to be faced
C: Kite Path
D: Ranged Location – should be spreadout and move around as the boss is kited.

Healing Assigns

AGB Tank – Pally,Druid 1
Below Ground Tank – Priest 1, Druid 2
Raid – Everyone Else

Phase 3 – Icehowl

1. Tanked in the middle
2. Ranged spread out around boss, preference is to be away from the back of him
3. When he casts Massive Crash he will knock everyone to the wall and then emote that he’s targetting a victim. He will then backup to the opposite side of the Colliseum and everybody should run (with the speed buff no excuses for getting hit really) to the sides.
4. He’s then stunned for 15secs or so, this is when you should be called for Blood Lust as he seems to take extra damage.
5. Hunters assigned to Tranq Shot boss if he enrages.

Healing Assigns

Boss Tank – Pally,Druid 1,Priest 1
Raid – All Else

That’s it for now Enjoy the new content
