I don't think I explained our tactic properly, we do it the opposite way to this.  We stack the boss, the raid group and the tanks on the side of the room (right against the barriers).  Payers who get wildifre run to the middle of the room to drop it - Not the sides - by doing this all sparks have a clear path to the boss, therefore any player not afflicted with the sparks in this phase never has to move or even think about sparks.  I have tried to do a diagram below using text

  Wildifire    - Middle of the room


Tank  Boss  Raid
_______________ - Room Edge

Don't know if this makes it more clear but we find it works very well for us and greatly simplifies avoiding sparks when the boss uses draw flame.

Maybe this will help show what you are saying.  Because the website I was using does not have support for MSV as of yet, I used Ultraxion's platform as it was the most circular I could find.  Ignore the actual part of the platform we fight Ultraxion on, and only the part with the pillars.

That sounds like an equally viable way of doing things. Thanks for sharing it

Not sure if any one else has problems timing shroud of reversal to get lightning fists. Our group can't seem to get that down. We have P2 down perfect and start P3 with no stacks and handle P3 correctly but our healers are burning their mana and CDs on the epicenters that aren't being interrupted. I am nullifying every other one but eat the others. I'm positive if we get the interupts down we have it. Seeing that we get sub 10% without them. Any tips for timing?

dont use the reversal thing because of timers, watch the animation. A few posts earlier the topic how the abilities are affected by movement and other stuff was discussed.
Best way for us was to just react on the animation which is pretty obvious and take about 2-3 seconds. Let your tank stay directly in front of feng, if he is too far away the effect sometimes runs straight through him and the stun isnt copied.

I'm the one taking the hit and have been stunned quiet often so that part is good. Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to read back through

I am pretty certain you need to cast the shroud on someone other than yourself. For my raid we have both tanks stack that way we dont move him much. When we both get hit I cast the shroud on the other tank. You can also cast it before you get hit but then you risk accidentally copying another spell if fickle feng decides to not cast lightning fists on cool down. Doing it this way we are able to interrupt most epicenters. I hope this helps.

Edit: no reason for this post, mixed up the first page for latest post update.

One of the issues I was having was trying to be the OT, put out a decent amount of damage, and then getting shroud cast on the MT for the lightning fists. If you are having the same issue please use the following macro:


/tar MainTankName
/click ExtraActionButton1

Like everyone else was saying do not watch the timers for him to cast it. The timers are only for when the ability is off cooldown. When you see the animation start (or your boss mods telling you he's casting it) pop the macro.

On heroic, if the adds reach the Siphoning Shield, they heal for 10%, not 5%, according to the in game Dungeon Journal.

Thank you! Fixing it right now

Last night, our reversal tank (myself) was targeted with Arcane Resonance.

I didn't think it was possible.  This is actually a very unfair mechanic, given that I could actually have agro at the time...  I really hope it's just another of his bugs.
