After a 2% wipe on a previous evening, tonight we obliterated Chimaeron in the second phase to score <Fidelity> a kill. After an agonising close call watching Chimaeron pick off raiders one by one, it was a delight to see its health at 10% when the first tank fell, and have 7 toons left standing at the end of the fight.
We used a 2 tank strategy, which took some time to perfect as the change in taunt rotation is a significant difference from normal mode. So our two tanks took turns tanking feud immediately after soaking the double attacks, and the raid runs to the other tank’s position for raid healing through the caustic slimes. The catch with this strategy is that the first double attack after every feud is hitting a tank with 4 break stacks, however with some great heals, minor tank cooldowns and good avoidance / mitigation we were able to deal with it pretty well.
We had a cooldown rotation for the toon tanking feud that extended to four feuds. Due the random number of massacres between each feud phase, on our kill we pushed Chimaeron over in the 3rd feud very comfortably.
