re: Heroic Twin Consorts

As it is very likely that we will be doing this fight relatively soon I feel like now is a good time to post this thread. This fight is supposed to have a fairly tough DPS requirement. However, we do have the gear to down this fight.

Differences from Normal:

Liu'lin Has a new ability in the night phase called Lurkers in the Night

- Spawns adds that are invisible by default that attack random players in the raid. The only way to reveal these adds are by dragging Suen over them when she casts Tears of the Sun, or by surviving until the first Day phase.

Suen has a new ability in the day phase called Nuclear Inferno.

- Casts nuclear inferno that does a large amount of fire damage. The way to deal with this mechanic is by being extremely close to the ice comet. (reduces fire damage taken by 60%).

General Strategy:

The goal of this strategy is to get Suen to the lowest percent possible before the Break of Dusk phase begins to minimize the amount of time we have two bosses up at the same time.

Night Phase:

- On pull DoT classes should apply dots to Suen and The person assigned to constellations should get the Tiger buff which allows us to avoid constellations and save healer mana. As long as the healers can keep up, We should ignore the beasts spawned by liu'lin until the Day phase to maximize DPS. If we find that we can take constellations it might be a better idea to save the tiger buff for phase 2 to decrease the stacks gained by Suen in Day phase to reduce tank damage.

- Whenever Suen casts "Tears of the Sun" ranged should switch and apply all DoTs to her. Suen should be around 90-92% when we go into the day phase.

- At the end of the night phase we should grab the Ox constellation for the 50% extra stam to ease the transition into the Day phase. (Ideally this will be up for the final constellation barrage)

Day Phase:

At the beginning of the day phase we should stack and quickly AoE down the liu'lin adds then spread again. (optionally if hitting the enrage is an issue we can continue to ignore the adds until the first nuclear inferno and then AoE them down to optimize damage as during this ability Suen immunes damage from anything not already on her). Right before the first nuclear inferno the DPS assigned to constellations should pop the serpent constellation for the free healing and healer mana.

After we stabilize, we should use the cranes constellation and pop Heroism immediately after (maybe) in order to push Suen to the lowest percent possible before the Break of dusk phase happens.

The phase is fairly simple for DPS but is very hard for healers.

1. Ice comet spawns
2. Suen casts Nuclear Inferno
3. Raid stacks in puddle behind ice comet
4. Kill Ice Comet with Suen.
5. ???
6. Profit

and repeat.

Break of Dusk phase:

We should pop the Tiger constellation right at the start of the final phase so we can negate the Tidal Force mechanic and then immediately pop cranes. This phase is really similar to normal mode and essentially all we have to do is kill Suen and then deal with Liu'lin by herself. If we're having trouble with staying alive in the final phase we can use the serpent constellation for the free healing and healer mana as well as ox for the 50% extra stam.

If we decide not to use heroism in the Day phase we pop it as soon as cranes constellation is up.

Justification for Heroism in Day phase instead of Dusk phase:

1. Extra tank will be doing damage to Suen instead of tanking Liu'lin
2. DPS won't have to deal with the Tidal Force mechanic and will deal more damage because of less movement.
3. Depending on our DPS we will use a full heroism on Suen instead of just a half to 3/4ths heroism.
4. We wouldn't be able to cast heroism at the start of Dusk phase unless we want to gimp Loucura's damage because he's the most likely to be doing constellations. Rogues also scale extremely well off of heroism.
5. All DPS should be on Suen during day phase and it is less hectic than dusk phase where we could very well call for Loucura to pop ox or serpent.

Overall decrease in the time we have to deal with 2 bosses up at the same time. because of more total damage to Suen during Day phase.

Drawbacks:

Healers don't have access to heroism during the most heal intensive part of the fight.

This video has interesting points to think about, however I think the strategy above is best for our comp. It is, however, a good introduction to the fight and a way to see all the mechanics. He says it is 2 healable and that might be what we end up having to do. They had everyone above 160k DPS and killed the encounter with 1:47 left on the berserk timer. with one less DPS and the current gear that we're in we'd be pushing the enrage timer. When they get to dusk phase they have Liu'lin down to almost no health but Suen still has a really large health pool. This needs to be opposite for us.
