Some really good tries last night, particularly the third, which lasted 5m39s. We wiped at the end because the raid was taking 150000 damage per second from eruption. People take too much damage from eruption when there are too many volcanos which haven't been stomped.

There is a really super thread about stomping volcano priority on the us forums. I'd encourage anyone who may be assigned to drive the big guy to read it. Some good ideas here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2743687884

About the dot on players created by volcanos: 'It is ok to have 4-8 stacks on most the players, that is still survivable. It is when everyone nears 12-16 stacks the stomps and subsequent volcanoes do much more damage.'

We're getting sometimes 20 stacks on people, it's just not healable.

20 stacks is surely ouch. I also think that overall we dont do too much wrong anymore. The preventable error however is still the lavastreams, altough that is also better then in the past.

So, logically, if we are not doing it mostly ok, and the adds are going down, then it must have to do something with the volcanos. Any other conclusion could have been that we are too long in first phase of too less dps on the legs. However, i cant see to have much less dps on the adds, they are already on the edge of going down in time. What likely still can, and has to be improved is that all ranged dps are attacking the legs when they have time, because that is quite sure needed.

So, that steering and deactivating the volcanos is the keypoint currently that still lets us wipe, at least so it looks to me.
