My guild has been wiping on him for the past 2 weeks, for our 1st night we tried spreading method around him in 180 degree, it did not really work well with massive amts of deaths from airburst n doomfire and our best try got him to like 78% before calling the night off.

That night I skimmed through this entire thread and found the 4 corner strat quite promising for the potential to keep doomfire "ezmode" ie. whole grp just run in n out to avoid fire and get airbursted together. So we end up tryin this 4corner strat for the next 3 nights but we encountered similar issues with MT kept dying when 2grps got cut off by doomfire and another grp got airbursted.

To fix the MT dying issue, we tried many different positioning tweaks on the 4corner strat:

1. Putting a healer between each of the 4 groups
2. Putting 3 groups above boss and spreading 3-4healers below him
3. Tried the strafe around and stay in range method using 4corners so we do not have like too many healers out of range

But ultimately the tweakings were not effective as our MT continued to die and the best try we got him was 15% where I died from fire and chained soul charges to the raid and had another 30% n 40% wipe but basically those are the only attempts that went below 50% out of 100 plus attempts.

My raid is now in a dilema, is there any other way to do this fight in a 4corner strat and reliably down him every week or do we have to totally change strat to the spreading method and go through another series of wipes to get used to spreading. As of my post, my raid is kinda used to clumping and having a cluster leader to shout out move in n out when doomfire comes and we probably gona take abit of tries to get used to spreading n pple being aware of doomfire.

We are really out of ideas atm and would really appreciate some help from pple who hav done him every week using 4corners. How do u assign the healers, which healer gets fearwarded, when should the healers top up their own grp and focus on MT, and how do ur healers coordinate when there are unlucky combos like airburst on 1 MT healer n 2 others being chased by doomfire?

This is the wws for the latest night we spent on him Wow Web Stats
There are 4 MT healers assigned to solely just heal him and 4 healers in each corner and 1 druid near the melee.
After looking through the wws, I realised that the raid healers are not healing enough on our tank, any suggestions to allow the raid healers in the 4 corners to stay in to pop heals on tank when there is a doomfire in their sector and the dpsers etc are running out from the fire? Would clumping the dpsers up in each corner and making their healer stay like 15yards away from them viable?
