Hakkar Strats

[Azorc]

Based off some things I read, I think we should try a setup like this next time:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...71659&q=hakkar

In this, the raid is spread out a bit. A mage pulls a son up and sheeps it. At the warning, the son is killed and the raid collapses on it to get poisoned, then immediatly goes back to their positions.

That corrupted blood dot just does too much damage, we're not geared to the point where we can heal through it. On our last wipe, healer mana was below 20% very early in the fight.

Maybe the res sucks in this video but it doesn't look like that mage gets hit with Corrupted blood as often as I was. I got hit by it several times each fight. It hurts a lot. Is it possible to be in a spot where you don't get hit by it? Is it AOE, is it in a specific area, what?

[Aessina]

It's contageous. So if you get hit by it, you can give it to other people too.

[Azorc]

that's why spreading out > clumping up.

[Mudsloth]

I'm not sure this came from corrupted blood but I was getting wacked by some 2k shadowbolt too. I assumed it was the leading of the corrupted blood. That hurt too. :p

Or it could be when we had some dead people and he MC'd a lock.

Several times while I was tanking, regardless of me taunting, he would spin in place and blast someone. I couldn't tell what he was doing really since my camera was being screwed by the altar. I just know that several times he would turn from me, do something nasty, and then commence to beating on me again.

[Kaletah]

finally being able to watch the video - it also seems as if they all move around quite a bit (not just the mage filming) And he did not seem to me to be taking anywhere near the damage I was either. I think spreading ou like phase 2 in Ony might be a good idea.

No reason to taunt hakkar is immune.

This makes it seem pretty straight forward...

Buff up.
* Pre-pull a son up and sheep him.
* Two tanks go in, MT turns him around away from the raid.
* Melee DPS fight him from behind.
* Everyone else spreadout to avoid corrupted blood splash when he spits.
* At 45s call in CTRA have 3rd tank drop back and tank son, everyone collapse except MT & OT, kill it, get poisoned.
* Spread back out.
* Mage wands a son up to platform and sheeps it for next round.
* Hakkar siphons poison.
* Rinse, repeat.

Also, have the mage assigned to mind controlled tank sheeping duty use a macro that targets either tank, sheeps them, then retargets Hakkar with one click
