Hi,

We managed to kill Druushk few days ago and now we are on Nexona and I got the OT duty on Scale ( epix x 2 ). From first few pulls, I think they cast elemental group stifle on the OT group, as well as some type of memwipe where they run to another person in the raid. I am just wondering if it is possible for only one Paladin to handle those x2 adds? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just amends and DPS. Not really any tricks other than standard mob memwipe techniques. Never an issue unless there are 2-3.

The adds have some sort of bull shit where you can tab target them. So this is one of the few fights you will want to use a target macro.

When the spawn the shiny run towards it bow AA it. Move to get range, use Verdict while pullin it back to the adds area. Hit Holy Ground, cast Circle of Conviction followed by Holy Strike followed by Break Will. Then you can move on to Refusal/Smite etc. Rinse repeat with Sigil and Consecration.

The time you have consecration goin your aggro won be on lock down like when you have Sigil or Holy Ground up. Use Resuce if you have to or if you have a Coercer in your group cycle Thought Snap in there as well. Other then that just have a good ranged dps Amends person so they dont have to run all over the place tryin to hit the mob.

Make a target macro /target a glimmer this will pick up adds 95% of the time, you may need to keep clicking it though.

depending on where your guild tanks the mob, you may consider running down towards the adds and hitting them with an arrow. i usually use a bow like longarm for this because of its massive range. hitting the add will cause it to speed up, meaning you have more time to dps on that specific add.

when the adds get to the designated tank spot, immediately lay into it with your fast cast, high dps CAs and spells, taunts and later on all of your big still.

i usually hit holy ground whenever its up to ensure that adds wont run away, if they try, use a quick casting spell like judgement to pick it up again.

also, save rescue incase the adds memwipe to someone mezzing the adds. other than that, make sure the raid controls their agro on memwipes, have a high DPS raid setup and 2 healers good enough to keep you up and you should be GTG.

Holding aggro should be a cinch with a dirge's hate buff and a good amends target. It will memblur but that's what Holy Ground, Sigil of Heroism, Heroic Dash, and Rescue are for. Use Rescue for "o'shit it's after a MT healer". Holy ground is short duration so don't use it blindly. Using Sigil a few seconds into the fight or at the very beginning is usually good enough to help you retain aggro well on the memblur.

Use master strikes and consecration where possible, and ask for j-cap often. Save divine aura for those moments where you end up with 2 adds to help the healers out and allow them to continue their own DPS. I personally try to save consecration and master strike for these moments to help burn through those moments faster and catch up. When your raid's DPS is good, it won't happen much if at all, but it does tend to happen some due to the mechanics of the fight.

Also, this is one of those encounters where, when your gear is good and you have good healer(s), you should be able to go 2-hander and offensive stance on this fight to help with DPS, just be prepared to hot-swap sword and board during oh shit moments.

I wouldnt use Holy Ground and then blast those PB Aoes if you are in range of Nexona...


Just Saying

Sounds like someone speaking from experience. ;) You also have to be attentive of whether Holy Ground is still up after dropping a glimmer before you start pew-pewing her with arrows.

It's cool, I made the same mistake our first night against her but I think mine was with me shooting her with arrows between adds and forgetting that Holy Ground was still active. :P
