Learning the Ji-Kun fight was a lot of fun, and there is plenty of room to improve on executing the mechanics to really master the fight.
After having a few pulls on the boss, our approach boiled down to using the minimum number of characters to take care of the nests, and getting the most out of the Primal Nutriments buff. We had dual Death Knights and a healer focus completely on nest duty. They devised a system so that they could refresh their Daedalian Wings to consistently fly to nests without running out of charges.
Each of the remaining DPS would jump down to a lower nest in turn, primarily to grab the wings for use back on the main platform. When Ji-Kun cast Feed Young, they would take flight and grab a food globule to prevent it hitting the platform, and to increase their DPS by 100% via Primal Nutriment.
The goal of this strategy is to maximise the DPS on Ji-Kun so that by the time two nests become active at once, you can ignore nests after taking care of the lower nest, and have everyone burn the boss with a couple of Juveniles active. It does require that the DPS on Ji-Kun maximise Primal Nutriment, and wreak havoc on the boss, and that the two DPS on nest duty can clear the upper nests as a duo. Our first kill was 7m22s long, and as Juveniles hatch, it isn’t fair on the healers to ask them to keep everyone up much longer than that. For reference we had Time Warp at 6 minutes in.
We were pretty aggressive at soaking slime at the beginning of the fight, and here what it looked like as the boss went down.
