This thread isn't intentend to be a place to argue about which guild's strategy is better, which is why I am moving your post. Since the person you are responding to has killed Heroic Rhyolith, and you seem to have only 1 kill of normal mode, then I find it odd that you are trying to argue that he is using an invalid tactic. As for it being "fun ... but unnecessary for killing the boss" I have it on good authority that damage done to the feet is shared to the body. So the faster the shield is down the faster into phase 2.

However, looking at logs seems to show that he takes combustion damage via impact spread without the shield mitigation.
The Spark of Rhyo is a great one to nuke (if you tank him with 12 yds of the legs) - build up a big ignite - then combust and spread. It's possible to have both legs ticking for 25k (normal) and 50k (crit) even early in the encounter with a large shield up.
Logs below to show his combustion ticks from a 3 min attempt from just 1 fire mage in raid:
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis - left foot
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis - right foot |
This might be right but is it really helpfull or worth it for your raid to mess up the steering of the boss by applying unexpected damage? Damage on the feet is exclusive task of the meeles as i know. Its not that dramatically but can be compared to nuking Arcanotron shield for stealing the buff. Fun for the mage but unnecessary for killing the boss.
