This is our first kill of HEROIC Ultraxion (10-man) as a guild.
Guild: The Machine of Sylvanas-EU (Horde).
Kill date: 27th of December, 2011.
PoV: Zumzar - Fire Mage.
We used 2 tanks, 2 healers and 6 dps for this.
This is a fairly straight forward fight. All it requires is co-ordination on who soaks each Hour of Twilight, and some smart usage of defensive cooldowns. The order of who is soaking each Hour of Twilight will be said on Ventrilo during the fight, but will also be in the raid-chat mid-fight. We choose to use Bloodlust at the end, but I guess it could be just as good to use it in the beginning.
As you can see in the video, we have the raid all stacked for healing, and then just nuking the fuck out of it. Not much to it. Ultraxion is this tier's obligatory dps/hps check.
From a Fire Mage point of view, this is again a fight where we have huge potential, as WoL also backs up. Nevertheless, again, it solely relies on good or bad RNG. With 4pc T13 (as I have), you can get up to 5 (!!) Combustions squeezed in, though I only manage to get 4. Personally, I had a couple of shitty Combustions on this kill, which is the sole reason my dps isn't higher. I was going with a Haste heavy build, as I saw a couple of top parses having high amounts of Haste (2100+) even with 4pc T13. I have since reforged fully back to Crit with at least 1505 Haste, as I was not happy with the result.
As you can see in the video, I was personally responsible for soaking 2x Hour of Twilight. The first I soaked with a Cauterize proc, and popped Mage Ward to absorb some of the fire damage, just prior to HoT hitting me. The 2nd, I Ice Blocked right before the HoT hit me. I had also set up a Power Aura for this fight, so I could see the Binding Light debuff with milliseconds. It really helps if want to push your dps.
Ventrilo: Yes, for the entire fight.
