[25N] Warmaster Blackhorn

[fuzzygeek]

We had 7 raiders MIA last night so were somewhat constrained with a shitty makeup. We still managed to kill Blackhorn with 5 healers and a somewhat unorthodox strategy.

Phase 2 of the fight does not start until all the flying drakes are dead. This is key. We had one ranged group working on drakes, but everyone else was focused the elites, who were the primary source of unhealable burst damage. The first add would die before the first Onslaught.

When all six of the Elites were dead we still had two drakes up; this gave the healers some time to regen while ranged and melee finished off the drakes.

If you kill all the drakes before the elites are dead, Blackhorn will come to the boat to kill you and your children.

You are still somewhat time constrained due to the boat taking damage, but with five healers your RDPS should be high enough to compensate. Our boat was typically around 45% when we went into P2.

The difficulty difference in focusing down the elites first was night and day. Once we switched strats it took us two pulls to down it, even with a shit comp with some social raiders taking up slots.
