IIDX GOOOOLD
My guild is working on hardmode General atm, I don't know how to feel about this encounter. We've only popped the animus twice, and the first time I was nearly oom. We still need to work out the tough parts I guess
gonk General hardmode is really a pain, I could do the run back in my sleep by now. I think we used a 7 healer set up, with all the healers stacking intellect. We had 2 disc priests using only penance (cheapest spell for most healing) during P1. We had a druid only using heals when he procced omen of clarity, all the healers were in melee range. All other healers waited until P2 to begin healing.
P2 consisted of 2 holy paladins, me and another, popping beacon on one of the tanks and then healing via stop casting holy lights. Raid was handled by 3 healers during P3, a Ret paladin kept JoL up at all times. Me and the other holy paladin healed basically till we went oom near the end of P2. P3 was handled by the two priests again, they did nothing P2.
Range have to never get hit by shadow crash, searing flames can never be allowed through (used alternating rogues for this) and life leach targets have to get out ASAP, we sent them to the back while crash dodging went to the sides. If General doesn't get below 20% before P2, you probably won't have enough mana left.
Fel Mana pots worked when we did the kill, gain mana over time and take a 25 SP negative for 15 minutes. Me and the other holy paladin had 30k mana for this fight, as did our resto shaman.
P.S. This was 25 man version.
