You are correct, the damage is insane. However, your cooldowns are best served rotated for every stomp. I believe our tanks use a trinket/nightmare seed rotation, and then go for last stand if a healer gets burned or some other unseen circumstance happens. Stomp can be crazy and make your heart skip from time to time, but you definitely don't need all of those cooldowns to survive it reliably. Our tanks give us about a 5 second heads-up on the stomp timer, when this happens the 3 MT healers finish their current cast and start to spam their max rank until the tank is stable/stomp over. The varying levels of haste/pushback/new casts/etc allow the heals to stream it at a good rate.

If you are still having some issues, tell one of your hunters to go tame a bird with screech, it helped us quite a bit. The only part of the stomp that worries me anymore is the first hit, if you have the tank topped going in and good heals landing just after, the rest of it is cake to heal.

Hello, EJs.
My guild has been trying Brutallus recently and yesterday was the first day we lived till enrage more than once.
I wanted to ask for some comments on our wws of this fight. We can analyze it ourselves, but i want to listen to people, who have killed him already.
Just a quick look at your enrage-only attempts shows that all of your dpsers simply aren't using full consumables. All of your physical DPS should be using [Elixir of Demonslaying] (remember you need to refresh it partway through the fight), and your casting DPS should be hitting [Destruction Potion]. There are attempts where 1 caster is using 1 Destro Potion over the course of almost 6.5 minutes. If logistically possible, adding a shaman to throw your melee group an extra heroism would help as well.

Lastly, on some of those attempts I'm seeing burn deaths. Those usually result in the loss of a few hundred thousand damage if that person can't be recovered.
