Ok, from that vid I saw few things wrong:

Grasping Hand=Red Rune should NOT target tanks&MDPS

Stone Breath isn't used for 10 seconds at the start of the fight.

 

That's all I saw wrong.

 

And btw ALL timers on this boss are extremely fucking random him on Myth @retail was fucking pain.

 

EDIT: The tactic on this guy is: Stack on one point RDPS&Heals on either right or left this way you spawn the red runes where you want and easier healing (it's a very intensive healing fight)

 

P.S. Alliance pleb! BETRAYER

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedbacks!

At the moment, I've already fixed all reported bugs:

  • Slam has now reduced damage depending on distance between players and Kromog ;
  • Grasping Earth can now be attacked by his own grasped player ;
  • Rune of Crushing Earth now targets ranged players first.

They'll be applied today (~6PM GMT+1 (Paris hour), or less).

And yes, all timers of this fight are completely fucked up. Even Deadly Boss Mods and BigWigs say that in their source code (I'm using these addons to find some timers).

I hope you'll be able to do more tests this morning or this week-end, and I hope you'll enjoy the fight. :)

    So, the first two of them are fixed, and the fix will be applied today. About Rune of Crushing Earth, they do clap, but only 5 seconds after the seconde one spawns.

    Actually, it should be exaclty as described here:

    Rune of Crushing Earth summons two large hands of stone, which will clap together after approximately 25 seconds. Kromog will summon a second set shortly before the clap occurs.

    Well, I have serious doubts about my past fix on Slam.

    Now, since I'm using the coordinates of the boss without his hitbox, I'm taking only 9k damage at maximum melee range... I should be dead instead.

    But if I handle the hitbox like before, at maximum melee range, I'm hit with 510k damage, melee players just have to run few meters back, with only 5 yards backwards, they should take around 160k damage, which is perfectly healable, and it's very easy to run more than 5 yards backwards.

    Here is my test:

    160226034527548773.jpg

    The blue marker is for maximum melee range, green is 5 yards, purple is 10 yards, red 15 yards, yellow 20 yards, with one stack of Warped Armor (which cannot be on melee dps) I have the time to reach the 15 yards point before Slam cast finishes, and I took only 11k damage.

    They say that pretty well on Icy-Veins:

    Finally, the entire raid will take damage from Slam. However, unlike with the other two abilities, players have an active role in dealing with Slam. When Slam is cast, all players should move as far away as possible (within reason) from the boss. Casters and healers will usually be fine if they are at maximum range, but melee players and tanks in particular will have to make an effort to run away from the boss.

    So I guess the hitbox on this spell is not really a problem. I'll handle it as before. ;)

     

    Well, anyway, I'll add a few more fixes today:

    • Add almost Kromog's spells into Avoidance management, they're mostly AoE spells ;
    • Now Kromog will select a new target if his current target is out of his melee range, and than other players can be targeted ;
    • Thundering Blows will now be casted directly after Rune of Grasping Earth (broken with previous fixes).

    Maybe more will come too.

    Hello Shampoo.

    From the video that I've seen from Insomnio I have to tell you about few things:

    The grasping hands (yellow runes) should despawn if they don't have a player in them.

    Slam should NOT kill MDPS do not have to move anywhere they just have to spank the boss without worrying about Slam

    Proof of Slam DMG in Mythic (it's the same in every mode)

    At the moment, the runes are scripted this way:

    • Kromog begins to channel Rune of Grapsing Earth ;
    • Every 0,4 second, Kromog activates 4 random non activated runes (there are 35 runes) ;
    • Each targeted rune begins his activation process, which is 5 seconds log ;
    • One second after activation, the rune will select the nearest player in a 4 yards radius :
      • If found, player is grabbed ;
      • If not found, rune is destroyed.

    It looks like that the rune don't found a player even if you stay on it. Maybe visual effect it's not matching with the rune so that's can be the reason why the rune don't get activated.

    Maybe I destroy the rune too soon, maybe the rune doesn't have the right time to select a player properly. I'll try to delay that auto-destruction.
