FOR CLARIFICATION ON OREGORGER - all we need to know

Phase 1
Oregorger will target random ranged player and shoot an Acid Torrent in their direction.
First player this projectile passes through will take extremely heavy Physical damage.
All other players the projectile passes through will take smaller amount of Nature damage.

Nature damage portion reduced dependent upon first target's total damage reduction, including CDs and armor.
Current off-tank should stand between the boss and the ranged players, and soak the Acid Torrent projectile.

Soaking Acid Torrent leaves a 20-second debuff that increases damage of further Acid Torrents; tanks should swap roles after each Torrent.

Melee DPS don't stand near off-tank, to avoid taking any Acid Torrent damage.
Ranged DPS and healers stay stacked up so off-tank can easily intercept the Acid Torrent.


Explosive Shard is thrown at melee. Impact knocks nearby players back, and 3 seconds later the Shard explodes and deals moderate damage to any players within 3 yards, stunning them. Melee should be slightly spread out to avoid initial hit, and move from nearby Explosive Shards.


Phase 2
At end of each roll path, Oregorger will cause Earthshaking Collision, dealing raid-wide damage.
Due to Hunger Drive, each subsequent Earthshaking Collision will deal more damage, so damage is heavier at the end of the phase.

Good find. I also read something like that from the wowhead guide today and wanted to come say that in here.

It's great that they explain the mechanic better there. The tooltip was a bit confusing. Now with the right mechanic. Positioning should be something like:

Code: Select all

(MT = Main Tank, OT = Off-tank, M = Melee, B = Boss. R = Ranged / Healers)

MT
B     OT    R
M

and after moving more than a little (flipped 90 degrees, or 1.57 radians):

   M  B  MT

      OT

      R


1. Boss will always target a ranged player. If melee is between the line of any ranged/healer they are at risk of taking a hit. Same goes for ranged, don't leave the stack if there's a risk of you getting a melee in the path.
2. Tanks swap positions and taunt when Off-tank has caught a blast. The one who is tanking the boss will be the one that has recently got shot.
3. If the ranged group has to move to a better position, do it after the acid has been cast. Tanks and melee will have to re-position themselves accordingly, so that ranged group is on the side of the boss again.

Fatboss takes this time a bit longer to get the videos up it seems.

I used this here for Oregorger this eve:
