Supremus Bug for pally?

[nicolax]

It is because the pally should be Mting

And Supremus is doing that as a punishment .,.

Srsly pally tank Supremus = easy mode

i fully agree with that, pally mt = win

anyway, don't try to walk backwards to tank him at the starting point or somewhere else at every phase 1, once you move out of melee range, he starts hitting / hateful striking the ot and melee dps.

once we understood that, we just tanked him where he happened to be at every phase 1 and no problem.

Tonight myself and the warrior OT got melee'd during the kite phase which we never noticed before.

That happens if he targets you. I usually follow him during kite phase, if i get targetted i just regularly tank him for those few seconds

We have had enough weird issues with melee getting killed on this fight that we run 3 or 4 people in tank gear. It's not like the enrage timer is an issue. We treat the fight like VR and everyone with hp's stands on top of each other and spams for threat. (Yes I stand in the fire for mana all the time)

So we are in BT, we get to Sup.....

So i have the second highest hp, so I am absorbing the lash's while a warrior Mt'd. I by far have more hp then the 3rd person, but no matter what Supremes Refused to hit me. And eventually i leave the raid cause its pointless to stay there and be ineffective cause he refuses to hit me.


Has anyone seen this before?

For us, we don't send melee into hateful range until the OT ate at least 1 hateful. After that, they're free to open up.

One odd note from a particularly messy kill last night: if there's one one person in melee range (i.e. the tank) it appears that Supremus doesn't hateful strike at all....not that I think people should bother taking no melee DPS for him

That's no been our experience with big dude. If no one other than main tank in range, he will do his normal melee plus hateful on the maintank.

Nevermind, looks like you're right....it's just that the Hateful Strike was only hitting for 7k on our bear tank and got dodged a lot as well

He wasn't gazing us...

[Jikozani]

Had this problem as well a couple of times, where I was the melee with the highest hp yet he ignored me, but I believe it was more of a positioning bug than anything else. Running circles around him seemed to solve it.

[Afraithe]

Had this problem sometimes, and sometimes not, kinda weird.

Might be cause you are not topped of fast enough, if he HS you, gets a parry and HS again, you might not be highest HP (your around 10k and the melee is around 10-11k).

[sanctifico]

We make melee, declick, fort + kings and if needed remove a low stat item (neck/ring/ranged). Means theres a 3-4k buffer on the offtank, and he gets spammed with fol anyway

[Questioner]

I've had this happen almost every other week. We put three tanks on him just to make sure our melee dps doesn't take hatefuls, and yet some weeks he just refuses to hit either of the tanks with hateful strike.

[fuzzygeek]

I go in with the bear OT and we both generate threat on him; once the bear takes a HS the rest of melee moves in. I remember having issues with Patchwerk back in the day if melee moved in too quickly and displaced the HS tank on the threat list.

Our kill this week featured a phase 1 where Supremus seemed to randomly cycle through all three tanks: we'd get a hateful strike, then he'd melee us for 2-3 seconds, hateful strike the next tank, melee him for 2-3 seconds, rotate to the third tank, etc. We weren't really sure who the MT was the whole time, ended up just calling damage on and rolling with weird damage on all three of us. If hateful strike adds a decent amount of threat, it may have just been that all three of us were fairly close on threat, and the threat boost from hateful pushed us over the 110% mark.

Also, I've been told that throwing rose petals from the Valentine's Day event on Supremus is worth a laugh, and felt I should share that.

I noticed this strange behavior as well on this week's attempt although it didn't kick in until the last phase when we were burning him down.
