re: Morchok

Morchok is the first boss encounter of the Dragon Soul raid. He acts as a sort of gatekeeper. Defeating him allows players access to the various NPCs in Wyrmrest Temple, as well as to some of the other bosses.


The Crystal Phase
,
lasts approximately 1 minute, is a tank and spank phase during which the raid is faced with two tasks (other than attacking the boss):
- the tanks need to regularly taunt the boss off of each other;
- a few DPS players need to soak the proximity damage done by crystals that the boss summons.
The Black Blood Phase,
lasts approximately 30 seconds, requires your raid to hide behind pillars of stone (created during the encounter) to avoid being hit by the Black Blood flowing out from Morchok.

Abilities:

- Furious: gained by Morchok at 20% health. This is the ideal time to use Heroism/Time Warp. (during a Crysal Phase, not a Black Blood Phase).
- Crush Armor: a stacking debuff applied by Morchok on his tank. The debuff lasts 20 seconds and stacks every 6 seconds, which means that the taunt should occur as soon as a 4th stack is applied on the current tank.
- Stomp: an AoE attack that Morchok casts every 10 to 15 seconds. Stacking behind at melee range is recommended to make make AoE healing more efficient.
- Resonating Crystal: cast by Morchok every 15 seconds, approximately. This ability summons a red crystal that explodes after 12 seconds. (Latest attempts on the PTR indicate that you can't designate players for this, since beams are sticky targeting.)
The Black Blood Phase:
- Earthen Vortex marks the beginning of the Black Blood Phase. All players are pulled towards Morchok and begin to take physical damage equivalent to 5% of their health every second for 5 seconds.
- Falling Fragments: cast immediately after all players have been pulled towards Morchok. This ability is channeled for 5 seconds and creates stone pillars around Morchok. Standing next to the location where a pillar is created deals physical damage.
- Black Blood of the Earth: cast immediately after the channel of Falling Fragments has finished. For 24 seconds, Black Blood will flow outwards from Morchok. Players standing in it will receive a stacking debuff that disappears as soon as they step out of the blood.

I did the LFR to the first 4 bosses and LOL - it was a jape. I know they were supposed to be easier but still


A friend did the 6 bosses on normal (this was on 10 man mind you) and said it was far easier then firelands normal when that came out - he felt it was massively undertuned
Good luck tonight, and I hope there is something left for sunday.
