Put your fast attacking players permanently on ice tomb duty -- you don't get Chilled to the Bone from attacking them. Phase three isn't exactly a race.

This is interesting, because after I got combat rezzed with my Moonkin in our twinkraid, I did not get any unchained magic debuff.

I wonder if you can have your dps feral pop to caster form to eat an unchained magic then go back to cat to dps.
The same way, can your resto druid avoid it if you want them to be able to keep raid healing, by being in cat form when the debuffs go out.

Looking at our 10man logs, it does seem a bit strange. Out of 100ish casts on healers over the night, our Disc Priest got it 9 times while our Resto Druid got it 48 times. I don't know how much data you'd need to prove it isn't random, but we did feel like it was hitting our Resto Druid unusually often.

The strat with Healers behind Block still healing tanks sounds interesting. Someone got a video for the Iceblock Position?

What you basically want to do is something like this:



We didn't do this in either kill but it does work for ever other ice block.

A shadowpriest that is running glyph of dispersion can basically ignore Unchained Magic completely. Let it stack as high as you want and before letting the stacked debuff expire, pop dispersion. I let my Instability debuff stack to 30+ multiple times during the course of our pulls in 25man.

It takes a bit of timing, but any shadow priest can trivialize the feedback from casting spells.

Are people leaving the tanks in to take Blistering Cold, in order to keep Sindragosa stationary for the fight? I recognize that in terms of actual damage done, it's on par with a single Frost Breath, but the difference is that for Frost Breaths, healers are already standing still and have heals prepped, whereas after Blistering Cold, the healers will still be running back into position for a few seconds. Last night we were having our tank running out for them to eliminate any risk dying to subsequent melee damage, which was working fine for phase 1, but Sindragosa moving around every time was making proper Ice Tomb positioning very difficult.

We've been allowing the tanks to take the Blistering Cold hit. It's really not that bad, and like you say, keeping her as stationary as possible does have value. That said, after the majority of blistering cold casts she decides to walk forward 5-10 yards for whatever reason and step on the tank's face. Normally it isn't too bad, I just back up a bit and keep going, but there were times when she moved enough to stand on top of me and ended up spinning around trying to target me. I've tried standing farther into her hit box to begin with as well as farther away from her, but so far nothing has consistently stopped her from doing it. There have definitely been times where she hasn't repositioned, which indicates either there is (hopefully) some magic correct distance where she won't do it, or possibly it's just random. I just haven't been able to repeat the event with any consistency.

Something to add to this. On our first clear we killed the 2 handler packs, one dragon then explained the fight in detail before killing the second dragon.

On respawns we managed to kill the first dragon using the slow whittle him down method (since we killed the handlers too soon) and Sindragosa spawned IMMEDIATELY (since the second dragon hadn't respawned). During the next few attempts the second dragon DID respawn but Sindragosa stayed spawned as well. The second dragon did not add when we continued to pull Sindragosa though.

Basically its just if you happen to kill one dragon with the other one not spawned yet, be ready for Sindragosa to spawn and agro immediately.

Preventing this behavior is as simple as stepping forward a bit during the cast and then alternating your forward and backward keys (as in running forward and backwards repeatedly). This has had a 100% success rate for me. Keep doing this for about a second after the cast has finished.
