25 man malygos

[Aterror]

Okay, so our guild has cleared 10 man for a month now really, waiting for 25's to be able to raid and now they are, cleared nax 25, and now we are about to start attempts for 25 man maly.

Before we start wiping, and other than watching the tankspot videos for it, any suggestions, comments, tricks, thoughts on it? You guys are extremely helpful and have given nothing but good information, at least most of you :P, so I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

Ok, the biggest difference between the 25 man and 10 man is the fact he uses arcane breath after every whirl thing he does. Your tank obviously needs to begin by moving him away from where the spark was coming from. The rest of the raid needs to move to where the spark is coming from, putting themselves in between Malygos and said spark. You will undoubtedly wipe because of people losing their bearings coming out of the whirl and getting nuked by the arcane breath. Make it known to your raiders that they need to not fail at telling directions. Marking your tank with a raid mark may help with this. Also, let your healers know the tank will take intense damage coming out of the whirl and needs to be topped/shielded/hotted.

The other phases are pretty much the same but with more damage output.

We use simple ping on the map to point the direction of next spark, everyone runs towards it while MT runs other way.

Mark the tank.
Make sure the tank runs off ASAP when he lands; if he's quick enough, he will avoid a melee swing from Malygos upon landing, really helpful with the incoming breath.
Make sure the tank uses spell reflect each time Malygos starts casting breath(spell reflect works vs. the random missiles). A breath + a following missile can can mean tank death.

Excellent, we had our first attempts yesterday at the end of a long day of raiding and had many of the problems outlined above, thanks for the advice

[Aterror]

Thanks for the advice guys, due to the actual tankspot video, i was pretty confident to the runnign away and going away from firebreath. In our first time gulding it, we got him to 33%, with 2 peeps dying in phase 2. Now the question is this, what dps you think is required to down maly as a raid? Cuz the only thing we battled was the enrage timer, which i know as well lays in part of me and kiting the sparks to the raid (which we did effectively).

How much time until enrage:

a) when you hit phase 2?
b) when you hit phase 3?
