Howdy, I had a go at normal Chimaeron last night for the first time and had issues on some of the Feuds. I was ok for the Tranquility one, but really struggled to work out a decent rotation…especially when I didnt have ToL.

Was wondering what sequence of spells you might suggest in this case? I am now leaning towards 2 Rejuves whilst I run in, then Swiftmend one of them for Eff, then WG and Rejuv the other 3 in my party. Then Nourish a few times and refresh the Rejuves. I am getting the Holy priest to do Prayer of Healing on the other group, followed by the same on my group. Would you recommend this sort of rotation? Usually it was the 3rd pulse that would kill a person or two.

Thanks so much. I use Power Auras (badly) and now I’m gonna have to find a way to make it work for lifebloom like you have it.

Again thanks for the video, and for the reply I would totally support more narrated videos!

Awesome video, helped me out a lot! But could you tell me what addon you are using to track Lifebloom and Omen of Clarity?

As a resto druid it can also be beneficial to taunt Chimaeron in the 30-25% health range (the same goes for holy pallies). As long as the bot is up and you let your tanks know about it before hand it shouldn’t cause any issues and it lets us (and our low dps output) get aggro on him in p3 before a more important dps spec’ed raid member.

Thanks Deppi! I’m glad it was helpful!

To answer your questions:

1) Omen runs based on your target, since I don’t always have the boss targeted it won’t always show threat. Every time I have the boss (or an add, etc) targeted, it lets me know where threat is on that target. If I target, say, a tank – then omen doesn’t report because there is no raid threat on the tank.

2) That add on in oRA3. It’s a bit dependent on others also running the addon though, I think. It’s a raid requirement for our guild.

3) If you end up with threat on Chim at the end of the fight – cat up, dash and kite him. When he catches you, bear up, barkskin and pray!

Good Luck!

First – THANK-YOU. I imagine it took lots of time and effort to get this together. The commentary was just right for me – the druid stuff without all the stuff you can already learn on Tankspot.
It’s totally timely as we’re about to face 10man normal mode Chimaeron for the firs time tonight (yes, yes, I know, late to the party.)
Questions:
1. As in the previous vid, you don’t always have Omen running. Do you do this to help with lat, or for some other reason?
2. What is that nice addon you have centre left showing time until the big CDs are up?
3. For reasons inexplicable (by me), the bad guys often like me best after the tanks. (Maloriak adds frequently like me better than the OT.) So I’m guessing I’ll be taking the heat early in that last phase. All I can really think to do is run and Fade. Should I cat Dash? Anything else?
Other than that – wow 16K + hps. I’d like to be that strong!
I can’t wait to give it a go now. Thanks again for posting this.
