Heroic KJ Strat

Timings added to give sense of when things happen. Timings given with start of phase in mind. These are general timings as you'll generally need to be prepared a bit before.

Phase 1:

In Phase 1, the mechanics are spread out a bit more so you have time to finish one mechanic and then move to the next.

  1. 0:11s - At 11s, we go out for Armageddon.
  2. 0:21s - Immediately stack back up for Shadow Reflection: Erupting.
  3. 0:57s - Stay stacked up for the Rupturing Singularity in the middle.

If DPS is good, we phase here without dealing with a 2nd Armageddon. Make sure to face your back to your corner of the room to be knocked back into position for an Armageddon immediately in Intermission 1.

Intermission 1 (Around 1:05):

  1. 0:07s (1:12) - Immediately spread out for Bursting Dreadflame and soak Armageddons.
  2. 0:13s (1:18) - As soon as we're done soaking, move toward the middle of the room for Rupturing Singularity. (It'll be in a corner, but you're safe in the very middle.)
  3. 0:30s (1:35) - As soon as we've been knocked back from Singularity, the person with Focused Dreadflame will want to stay in the middle and the rest of the raid can spread in a line to soak.
  4. 0:37s (1:42) - Kil'jaeden will switch to a new corner. If you have a debuff from the previous Armageddon, stay in the middle. If you don't have a debuff, start spreading out for the next Armageddon.
  5. 0:43s (1:48) - People with Armageddon debuffs need to soak Focused Dreadflame. The Focused person should run to the middle of the room. If the Focused person is managing a large Armageddon, will they need soakers or will they immune it all? (Milou: Immune All)
  6. 0:43s (1:48) - As soon as Armageddon has hit, run to the middle of the room to be in place for the next Singularity.
  7. 0:55s (2:00) - Spread out for Bursting.
  8. 1m (2:05) - Intermission 1 ends.

Phase 2 (Around 2:05):

  1. 0:14s (2:19) - Stack in the middle of the room for Shadow Reflection: Erupting.
  2. 0:35s (2:40) - Person with Focused Dreadflame will move to NW corner of room and healers and/or people with the Armageddon Rain debuff can soak it.
  3. 0:51s (2:56)- Spread out for Bursting + Armageddon (P2: 1st).
  4. 1m11s (3:16) - Stack in middle for Rupturing Singularity + Focused Dreadflame combo. (Kill the tank mob while you're there). Focused Dreadflame should run toward Singularity while Healers and people with the debuff spread out toward Singularity.
  5. 1m39s (3:44) - Spread out for Bursting (no Bursting in the middle!!!!!!), then run back in immediately for Singularity in the middle. There is enough time to get back. Please do not keep Bursting in the middle!
  6. 2m6s (4:11) - TIME FOR THE WOMBO COMBO!
    1. Healers and Focused Dreadflame run toward the NW corner to soak.
    2. People with Shadow Reflection debuffs stay on KJ's right foot.
    3. Everyone else spread out for Armageddon (P2: 2nd).
      1. If you're an Immunity Soaker, stay out in Armageddon even if you get the Shadow Reflection debuff.
    4. After Armageddon, everyone stacks in middle to kill off adds ASAP.

Ideally transition immediately here after killing adds and topping off super quickly. If not, we need to:

  1. 2m34s (4:39) - Spread out a bit for Bursting, but don't run too far because you need to deal with Rupturing Singularity in a corner right after. Everyone without Bursting should run as close to Singularity as possible to give Bursting debuffs some room.
  2. 2m42s - (4:47) After Singularity, immediately spread out for Armageddon (P2: 3rd).
  3. Stack in middle and kill the tank add (when and if we transition here, we need to have people topped off before going into Intermission 2. People with Armageddon Rain need to use personal cds. There's a grace period of about 10-15s before the next big ability).

If we didn't transition above, we'd like to transition before the next bit:

  1. 3m - (5:05) Focused Dreadflame should move to Northwest corner and healers and/or people with Rain debuffs should soak it.
  2. 3m13s (5:17) - Spread out for Armageddon (P2: 4th) then run back in to mid for Singularity.
  3. 3m26s (5:31) - Stay spread out after Singularity if you have Bursting. Everyone else runs mid.
  4. Run mid immediately after Bursting and top off everyone ASAP before transition into Intermission 2.

Intermission 2

  • Use personal cds to stay alive at the beginning of this phase. Stay stacked up until the Hunter pings the map. Then run there, grab a buff, and do your thing.
  • Prioritize stuns! Stun all the mobs during their cast. Have a stun, use it!

Phase 3

  1. Stack in middle immediately for Darkness of a Thousand Souls.
  2. Watch for Obelisks!
  3. Orbs will spawn throughout this phase.
    1. We will have a designated Orb runner and back-ups.
    2. Everyone must make sure they run away from the orb so the Orb runner can pick it up. You must also make sure that you are not between the Orb and the rift so the runner has a clear path.
    3. Always be aware of where the Rift is in case you accidentally get targeted by the Orb.
  4. When we run into the Rift for Darkness of a Thousand Souls, be sure to stay near the edge so you can get back out immediately.

I have a rough draft of timings that I need to work out from the start of each phase. I'll post that as soon as I am able. Please let me know if something here doesn't make sense or needs more planning.
