General Vezax is a pussy

He is. Pussy pussy pussy.

Here's our amazering strat-fu.

Melee and heals bunched up and hit Vezax. All healers were autoattacking the boss for ret pally healing on themselves. This also meant that the green blobs were likely to be hanging around the boss. They were dropped by ranged just outside of melee range, which was totally perfect for everyone involved. We had one downed on the boss, and that caused a wipe!

One healer (our healer lead) went and hung out with the ranged, to cover off when the range ended up OUT of range of the boss. Healer lead kept an eye on everyone's mana and marked up green sludge for range to drop. No one touched green blobs unless the healer RA called it over vent.

Healer allocated to 2 groups for mana regen and took it in turns to mana up.

We had a DK tanking and using CDs to muscle his way through the mini enrages. Healers were extra spammy to cover it off.

Ranged stacked up and stood in the black stuff. Life leechers ran away from the group. EVERYONE ran away when someone was targetted for the shadow crash (as shadow crash hits a spot on the groud where its target was standing, its not a heat seeking missile or living bomb like life leech)

EVERY.SINGLE.FLAMETHING.WAS.INTERRUPTED. => I think this was the most important thing of the entire fight. I think 2 were let through? Maybe? But everything else was covered off. We had the RL (a rogue) call out the interrupt rotation over vent.

What do I think were the most important things in this fight? Judgement of light by a ret pally on the boss is OP (free healing FTW). A DK tank makes this much easier, not movement for a boss always makes the fight easier. 8 healers is handy (our prot pally tank was ninjaed recently from the healer team). Interrupting 90% of the flame things.

All you do, is you take all of the above and do them all at once, and find that rhythm Vezax has a definate rhythm to him, and once your team hits that groove, you will down him. Don't panic, and just keep doing your job.
