I was wondering what colors yall get assigned to on Durumu. I always get assigned red. I always try to mistweave, but end up fistweaving due to all the movement. Also would like to say fistweaving is a lot more viable then what people realize, just has to be done right (ie using mana tea ocd, not wasting muscle memory, chi wave ocd, RnM ocd, and expel harm ocd). Can add ALOT of dps. I've bursted 120K with lust, but not fully buffed.

Yea, I always do red, but for the most part on that fight I Mistweave and just spam uplifts.

Hello, new to these forums and hoping to contribute a bit :)

 

My build's a 10 man raiding guild and we're currently working our way through heroic. Here''s my comments on a few of the HC fights:

 

Jin'rokh

 

I've found Zen Sphere, Xuen and Diffuse Magic most useful.

 

Zen Sphere I try to keep up all the time, I like to put it on a player who can't gimp the Ionization so when they're dispelled it immediately explodes. It's also useful in the Lightning Storm if you're having trouble avoiding the storm.

 

Xuen is wonderful for the Lightning Storm as people get rather spread making the other two talents in this tier inefficient. If you have your Jade Serpent Totem up in the center of the room and then pop Xuen as lightning storm begins. The spot healing he causes is really nice for healing during this phase. He's only up for every other one so I rotate between Revival and Xuen for the Lightning Storms.

 

And of course Diffuse Magic is great for Ionization, dispelling it and reducing the damage. Just make sure you're out of the water first because it doesn't reduce damage for everyone. Getting out of the water doesn't really cause us issues anyway as we can roll out > diffuse magic > roll in.

 

Have as many ReMs up as you can going into Lightning Storm and try and pool max chi entering it. I find it hard to stand still and heal whilst avoiding the Lightning Strikes so I having 4 chi and Chi Brew lets me have at least 4 Uplifts whilst being mobile.

 

Glyph Zen Med for Lightning Storm. You can then easily survive a lightning storm as you can dodge and when you fail to dodge take 90% less damage. When I started I rotated between Zen Med and Diffuse Magic for Lightning storms.

 

Don't stand around doing nothing. I found that there's not a need for constant healing so during the calm periods during the puddle I'd fistweave. If you kill him faster you don't have to worry about as many lightning storms!

 

Ji-Kun

 

I'm normally the nest healer so all of this is from that perspective.

 

Useful Talents: Xuen, Chi Wave, Diffuse Magic and Tiger's Lust

 

Firstweave, fistweave, fistweave. Your BK cleave is great for killing the guardian and an egg at the same time. Xuen on top of that can help you demolish a nest, just be prepared for the Quills, although my Rogue and Warlock who come to my nexts with me are generally able to survive a quills with minimal healing. I cannot however. Also it seems sporadic as to whether you can heal someone who's being carried to the top. Our rogue generally jumps off and gets carried to the top so he can have an extra feather charge for the Feed Young buff and I always panic trying to heal him but don't worry too much, he'll get low but he should survive.

 

Chi wave is purely for more dps.

 

If you REALLY need to you can soak the green pools with your Diffuse Magic. I'd advice against it though as if you get a Caw when you're low from soaking a couple you'll probably die.

 

Tiger's Lust is great for the Down Draft. They cancel each other out so you run on the spot. It lasts a couple seconds less than the Down Draft so let yourself get pushed  away from the center a bit then pop Tiger's Lust and moonwalk till it's over :)

 

Iron Qon

 

This fight is SO fun to heal!

 

Useful Talents: Xuen, Zen Sphere, Diffuse Magic or Dampen Harm, Celerity

 

Xuen is great for nearly every phase and helps with a bit of extra DPS.

Zen Sphere on the melee group taking the brunt of the Unleash Flames. It regularly explodes for me which is great.

Diffuse Magic for if you accidentally take a Burning Cinders.

Dampen Harm if you're struggling to survive the later Unleash Flames.

 

On the Wind Storm, wait a couple seconds then Roll > Roll > Roll towards 1 o'clock. The tornado paths aren't random and this always gets me out safely and quickly. If you're using a Demonic Gateway remember you still need a clear path. It's not a teleport.

 

I normally Fistweave the lightning phase. The damage output is low and it just speeds the fight up a bit.  Just make sure you don't have Arcing Lighting on you when you go into melee otherwise our raid leader will probably yell at you.

 

Going into the last phase where all 3 dogs are up, use Xuen to kill them faster and help with the healing. Then I just use TFT on CD. Once the 3 dogs are down it's generally a kill for us.

 

Hope this'll help someone :)
