Emeriss the Dragon

Okay..we tried this last night and it did not go so EPIC..in fact we FAILED!

However, since most of us are no stranger to failure and can do research I have found the skinny on our friend Emeriss the Dragon at http://www.wowwiki.com/Emeriss

Basic strategy is such:

1. Pull Emeriss to the raid, then turn her around so she is facing up the ramp. Healing should be on the MT, and everyone should be away from the tail. Ranged should be at a good distance and not clustered so they can avoid the sleep clouds more easily.


2. Have the second tank run in to cover for the MT should he be put to sleep. Neither of them will be able to taunt.


3. After a while, call for the raid to assist. Melee should hit her hind legs (rather than her butt) to avoid getting tailwhipped. Ranged should be spread out at max range.
   Steady dps, have the majority of the healers on the MT; make sure the secondary tank knows what to do if he takes aggro cause the MT got sleeped.


4. At 75%, 50%, 25% health, have melee move further than 100 yards out of range to avoid her AoE DOT. (Have priests move as well, and druids / pallies/ shaman healing MT during this DoT).


5. Be sure you don't get slept during her Corrupted Earth DoT, watch your positioning! Consider putting a healing group on her left, and another on her right, in case this happens.
   When Emeriss performs Corruption of the Earth, she will yell "Taste your world's corruption!". This is the cue for the group to melee and the rest of the group to return to their original positions.


6. Do not die! Use a potion or bandage where possible.


7. Greater Nature Protection Potions seemed to absorb damage from those who died and sprouted mushrooms.


8. Not a vital note for the fight, but the Noxious Breath DoT persists on the MT after Emeriss dies, its rather funny the whole guild celebrating and 5 seconds later the MT falls over dead, just remember to heal him after Emeriss dies.

I think if/when we want to try this again we can do it with 20 people if 10 of them are 80s. We definitely need two tanks. We can bring as many as 40 so there you go :)

Off Topic: I am setting an Ahn Qiraj raid for later this week so people can get mounts. I will place information on the website and send out calendar invite this week.

Thanks,
