[Trick] Mimiron - Phase 3 Bomb Bots

[Tengu]

Note: Requires 1 Hunter & 2 Mages

In phase 3 on Mimiron there are bomb bots that goes after a target and when they reach it they hit for 25K and everyone in a 5 yard radius. Want to remove that damage from the raid? Easy, here's what you do.

Your duty as hunter is to dps the head, you have your pet on defensive. Every time he spawns a bomb bot you quickly target the bomb when it's falling to the ground (I recommend having enemy HP bars visible for easier targeting here) and send your pet on it. Now, here's the trick. You will have 2 mages doing a frost nova rotation when it lands. One frost nova per bomb bot, the cooldown is too long to only have 1 mage (Not sure if Icy Floes reduces cooldown enough if you only have 1 frost mage). Why the Frost Nova you ask? Well, what happens when a mob is in a frost nova? He targets the nearest enemy, which in this case is your pet. And BOOOM, it explodes just seconds after it spawned, far away from any raid member. With 75% avoidance, your pet survives and everyone's happy.

When it's exploded, your pet goes back to standing below the head since it's on defensive, just waiting for the next bomb bot to spawn. Wash, rince and repeat.

Or you get a warrior, DK, paladin or feral druid to taunt and eat it away from raid?

Seriously way to much work OP. Have any high health class sit there and eat them.

Just have a dk chain them and a ranged kill it, nobody has to eat it at all :x

/tar bomb bot
/cast chains of ice

Why not put a boomkin on rooting the bombs and have the warlock tank use Fel hunter because of the magical resistance making the felhunter to take NO Damage what so ever...
Thats what we are doing.

grill, sounds about the same as my tactic, but with different classes. Unfortunately we don't have any boomkins =( But using a Fel Hunter means less dps for the warlock, while a hunter can use his dps pet.

Viper, that would involve having to spend dps time on them.

skiier and pietje, not much work at all. I have less than a second downtime from the retargeting, and I could use a macro to make it 0 seconds downtime. The mages only waste a gcd, they don't have to retarget or anything, just need to be a bit alert. And a player you'll have to cast direct heal(s) on afterwards. Pets don't need that. Get plenty enough HP back anyhow.

Also, a bonus to my tactic, it's a third of an achievement to not have any bomb bot hit a player. Pets don't count as players. =)

We just camp a DK underneath to quickly kill them, bomb hits him for 20k or so, he has 28k life. 1 Rejuv and he's good to go again.
