Q:So what strategy does Stars use in Phase 3?Ī:The strategy we used in Phase 3 was very highly tuned. Phase 3 of +0 combat is different from others.Normally we got a 15 mins Enrage timer, but in +0 Phase 3, the 4th Shadow Beacon is almost the limit of raid, this 180 sec soft enrage time may stop many guilds. We used to take down Yogg-Saron +3 without Thorim at the middle of June, felt that it's easier than pre-nerf Mimiron, this would tell the improvement of gear is very important to Yogg-Saron +0. Improvement of Gearĭamage decrease by 40%, 20% more damage taken, 20% healing reduction and 20% less HP compared to +4 Yogg-Saron, this brings not only DPS pressure, but also tanking problem. So how to separate the monsters is the hardest and most important thing. So if they gain hp from Shadow Beacon, they would bring down tanks extremely quickly and say W~I~P~E to us. The monsters damage is based on hp, 1% is about 2,000, but 100% is around 35,000. The first thing people mentioned is Phase 3 adds can’t be killed without Thorim, and every 45 sec there would be a Shadow Beacon(with Mortal Strike that is 375,000 hp during 20 sec and cumulative). Q: What's the difference among +0,+1,+2,+3,+4 Yogg-Saron? Strategy: Paladin: Healer MVP/Ret dps boss and blessings.ĭruid: Flexible healer/tank. Mage: Remove curse, dps boss, AE on Shadow Beacon.ĭeath Knight: Strongest tank, aoe Ebon Plague. Warrior: Protection/Arms, dps boss, Battle/Command Shout. Maybe you can see a death knight managed to be NO.1, this can't prove anything, the core of dps deck can only be warlocks and rogues. Of course, rogues and warlocks are greatly capable of AE, so they could reach a high dps during this combat. Our rogues say they could manage 9000-10000 dps, but because of restriction of Phase 2 and interruption of Phase 3, we didn't take Honor Among Thieves rogues. We take 5 warlocks with us, actually this number is less than what we thought to be.Īnother class is rogues with Honor Among Thieves, with 2 pieces of T8 significantly reduce energy cost of Fans of Knives and a damage boost against targets less than 35% health. But affliction warlock is a exception.Īnother important reason is that, Phase 3 starts at Yogg-Saron with 30%HP left, affliction warlocks with Death Embrace can obviously reduce Phase 3 combat time with 16000-18000 drain soul per tick.Īlso in Phase 2, spamming dots makes warlocks much more powerful than other classes. Q: Why do we say affliction warlocks are MVPs?Ī: Phase 3 is the most special combat throughout Azeroth, you have to turn back every 11s-19s to avoid Lunatic Gaze so for a normal class maybe you only get 2/3 time to dps. Most Have-To-Face-Yogg classes managed to double their damage, so finally we got this world first kill without an extreme comp. After we killed Mimiron we did a theorycrafting, we thought with 10 warlocks we could bring down Yogg-Saron in 3 mins and reduce Beacons to 3 or less.Īfter trying over and over again, familiarity with this combat and improvement of gear helps to increase dps. Of course there were hotfixes from Blizzard, I'll talk about this later. Q:Is it really "No Patch No Down"?Ī: We got this world first kill last night, so it's not. That's why almost everyone thought even with full lv239 gears, it's still mission impossible. This means, regardless of Shadow Beacon, we aren't able to take down Yogg-Saron within enrage timer. According to several posts from EU/US forums, players thought it needs 6 mins and more to kill Yogg-Saron with the help of one Keeper.Take damage tanks took and Shadow Beacon into consideration, we need 4-5 tanks and 5-6 healers, meanwhile the raid dps will be decreased by 10%. I translated the original Chinese post of their strategy from: Q:Why do people think Yogg-Saron +0 is "No Patch No Down"?Ī: Known to all, the hardest thing of this combat is how to deal with Phase 3, so this post will be mainly focused on Phase 3 strategy.
