Building a healing strat for Brutalus
So I’ve hesitated to post this for fear of being wrong and looking like an idiot, but I’ve decided this is part of what I do as a GM and maybe it’ll help someone. Also, after singing to you guys, I can’t really embarrass myself much further.
We finally killed the big blue menace on Tuesday and I’ve spent the past few days building our Brutalus healing strategy. I’ve looked over kill videos, WWS reports, and strategies that include listing of the boss abilities. I know that at my guild’s place in progression I could jack someone else’s strat and do no actual thinking for myself, but my EQ roots make coming up with my own plan a matter of pride. Also no one else knows my healers as well as I do, so I doubt their strats would be as strong as my own for my guild.
So here’s the plan for our guild’s initial Brutalus attack:
1 CoH Priest and 1 Shaman to heal Meteor Slash
1 Pally to heal Burn targets (With help from the meteor slash shaman at the final tick)
1 Holy priest, 1 Disc priest, 1 pally and 1 shaman on the MTs.
The shaman and I are going to spend some quality time together figuring out what rank of Lesser Healing Wave he can cast continuously for 6 minutes (fully raid buffed). In the fight he will stand still and continuously cast Lesser Healing Wave. The holy priest will be casting max rank Greater Heal to land in time with the main hand weapon swing (both 2.5 seconds, coincidence I think not!), and keep renew up and the Disc priest thinks on his feet and will alternate his heals but I anticipate at 4 casts in 15 second average. The pally is a Holy Light spammer.
The heart of this plan is maxing our inspiration/ancestral fortitude uptime to counterbalance Stomp. I’ve done some math with my raid leader and determined that with this configuration we can keep inspiration/ancestral fortitude on our tanks 94% of the time.*
So, that’s my initial healing plan. As my raid leader buddy says, “no good plan survives contact with the enemy.” I’ll check in after our first night’s attempts and let you know what worked and what didn’t work.
*I found that in my scouring of the intarwebz there is no Inspiration/Ancestral Fortitude uptime calculator or formula published so I had to make my own. It’s not perfect but it’s the best estimation I could put together without delving into derivatives. Using the math my raid leader and I put together I will be creating a calculator in the hopes of preventing someone else from having to do all that math.

Hey, grats on Kalec and good luck on Brut–if you’ve got a bitching resto druid, I recommend sticking one of them on burn victims rather than a paladin. It worked really well for us (although I obviously don’t know your raid set up).
June 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 am
Additionally, if you had that one priest spec Disc for this particular fight, you might want to rethink it. A group of pallies with a non-CoH priest can keep up the MT’s if they’re spamming big heals and making sure they’re not all landing at the same time (a sure way to get boned). The priests/shammies are better suited for the raid healing, and as I mentioned earlier, the dr00ds are cool with burn victims (lol tree durid not that kind of HoT!).
Also, it depends on what kinds of tanks you’re using. If you’ve got a bear and a warrior, that’s a pretty good combo for various reasons–but if you’ve got two warriors, they’re going to get destroyed during stomps if they’re not using cooldowns/nightmare seeds/ironshields etc.
Learned all this the hard way (and, you know, taking 20934802938 years to set up pulls).

You might consider using 2 shammie healers hitting the tanks with chain heals. As your 2 soak groups stand in a square around your tanks the chain heals will bounce off your tanks and heal the soak groups :)!

I tried a few different companies when I was looking for an offshore solution for us and uk vpn service. Some were slow, some worled some of the time, and then I tried The IAPS Security Store. I love their service and I’ll never look at another company again.

I have to say IAPS is not a good example of a company in this industry. Their solution has massive issues staying online, their process of informing their customers is basically not to and when you do finally get an answer from their support guys it tends to be curt, condescending and bordering on rude at times.
I tried to cancel my contract with them and they basically told me to **** off and won’t give me a refund.
Plenty of other guys out there providing the same service. Look around is my advice or pray you don’t have an issue that needs their help.

I pray that President Obama devotes more energy to lobbying Congress to provide vital resources to aquire the bullet proof vests our overseas troops need to come home safely

Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means… airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.

I hope for our troops in Afghanistan are given the opportunity complete their mission. Congress has to approve the funding needed to buy the body armor and other supplies required to bring peace to the region.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Wonderful illustrated information. I thank you about that. No doubt it will be very useful for my future projects. Would like to see some other posts on the same subject!

Nice to see that there are blog owners that care about their blogs and not post all kind of useless stuff but rather try to keep it clean and valuable for the sake of their subscribers. You’ve done a great job and i thank you for that and also for not traumatizing me with useless garbage and spam.You know, if you look for new ways to promote and improve you blog, i’ve open myself a corner of cyberspace and i would like to share it with you and your visitors, because it’s a good chance for anyone to learn how they can promote their websites and any online business if they have any for free or very low costs.I’m still getting it done and working on it as we speak, so it’s not as i wish but it’s a work in progress that already has value to it. If you care and wann help maybe you will link to it and why not let your friends know. It will get crazy this month cause i will give away alot of goodies.Visit:
