So ya Ive had this footage for a while along with the rest of naxx but I thought that I would get this out first since a good amount of people are looking for it. Ill try to finish up naxx vids asap but its finals time so…..please bare with me….. All and all this is a pretty fun fight with alot of fun twists in it. If blizz can make more fights like this they might just make this game worth playing….
Tips:
Phase 1:
-forgot to say this in the vid, after you go up for the first time make sure you point him away from the raid since he breaths right away when he lands. We have everyone run south (you can turn in the air during the vortex) and the tank faces south than backs up so that when malygos lands he is pointing north.
Phase 2:
-make sure everyone uses a food buff to get them some more stam, two scions can cast on you at the same time which really hurts. Always keep an eye on your life bar and be ready to pop a health stone and or a pot to stay alive.
-the sooner you can get more scions out of the air the lower the raid damage will be and the easier it will be to heal. You can always float near the ground on the disk if you happen to kill all the scions before the lords (which will more than likely never happen)
Phase 3:
-when it comes time to move for the static field, we ALWAYS move left so that everyone knows which way to go. You can go anyway you want, just make sure EVERYONE goes the same way.
-quick overview of the drakes, they use a energy and combo point system like rogues. You use a low amount of energy to gain combo points then end up using a powerful finisher and alot of energy. A common misconception is that there are “offensive” combo points and “defensive” combo points, and that each of the finishers requires a different type. This is not true. The combo points are linked to your current target when you use an ability that generates points. For example, if you target Malygos and shoot 5 Flame Spikes, you will have 5 combo points on Malygos. This means you can use your Flame Shield ability while you have him targeted. If you change target to yourself, you will have no combo points on yourself and the shield will not fire. Similarly, if you target yourself (or another drake) and cast the heal on it, you can then Flame Shield so long as you have that target targeted.
Drake abilities (in order as they are on the vehicle bar):
-Flame spark (1): 900-1100 fire damge, costs 10 energy and awards 1 combo point
-Engulf in Flames (2): Finishing move that blasts the target for 1500 every 3 seconds. This move stacks as long as you dont let it run out and the more combo points you use the longer it lasts.
-Revivify (3): A 10 second HoT that heals for 500 a second, stacks 5 times, costs 10 energy and awards 1 combo point.
-Life Burst (4): Huge AoE heal over time finisher that heals for more as you use more combo points and also gives you a buff that increases healing by 50% which lasts longer as you use more combo points
-Flame Shield (5): Finishing move that protects your drake reducing all damage taken by 80% lasting longer for each combo point you use
- (6):Increases your drakes flight speed by 500% (note this doesnt cost ANY energy so use this to get away from the static fields)
How to heal:
-for healing in phase 3 all you do is target your self and chain cast revivify (3) till you have 5 combo points then hit life burst (4). Count to 4 then start all over again (ie 3 3 3 3 3 4 [4 second wait] 3 3 3 3 3 4 ect). If you get targeted for Surge of power use whatever combo points you have for Flame shield (5), count to 2 then start healing again. This is all you need to do (pretty simple)
How to DPS:
-dpsing takes a bit more skill and will take a lot of practicing to get used to but without practicing you will wipe since there very little room for error in dpsing.
-to start the phase get to malygos ASAP and get two quick combo points with Flame Spike (1) then use your finisher Engulf in Flames (2) and then go right into your rotation which will be 4 Flame Spikes (1), Engulf in Flames (2), wait 4 seconds than go again (ie 1 1 1 1 2 [4 second wait] 1 1 1 1 2…ect). If you get targeted for Surge of power use whatever combo points you have for Flame shield (5), count to 2 then start dpsing again. This sounds simple but if the Engulf in Flame Debuffs dont get high enough than you wont beat the enrage timer and you will lose. YOU CANNOT LET YOUR DOT FALL OFF! It is a HUGE dps lose if you do. Like I said , PRACTICE ALOT!!!!!
Good luck!
