10-man Ulduar - XT-002 Deconstructor
XT-002 Deconstructor is the last boss for the seige section in Ulduar. After you kill him, the antechamber section opens up.
Since we were still learning the fights, we took three main healers, one who could DPS with an offspec if needed.
Our Healing Assignments
2 x Priests on raid healing, 1 x Paladin on MT & OT healing with a beacon between them.
Abilities to Watch Out For
The tympanic tantrum that XT does is the make or break point for the raid and healers. It deals 120% damage of everyone’s maximum health which means you need to heal everyone in the raid for at least 20% of their maximum health just so they can survive it. More if you want them to have more than 1 hit point left when the tantrum ends.
The thing is, more often than not there’s one person in the raid who’s also getting light bombed at the same time. Light bomb deals 2750 damage per second for 9 seconds to the target and those within 10 yards around them.
So…
Healing Tips
- Work out before the fight, which party your raid healers will be healing during the tympanic tantrum
- Have the MT/OT healer continue to heal the tanks through the tantrum and spot heal the person with the light bomb
- Priests should use Prayer of Mending just before the tantrum happens
- Cast your biggest raid/party heal (priests: Prayer of Healing) on your assigned party as soon as the tantrum starts
- Use quicker heals such as flash heal on others who may not have been in range of the party heals
Notes
I just wanted to point out that it’s completely possible for two discipline priests to ‘raid’ heal through this fight. Both our priests were discipline for this fight when we downed him. Penance is simply just an awesome emergency heal, plus two prayer of mendings bouncing around helped and we were also able to sheild so many more targets at a time which reduces the overall damage intake.
