Yogg'Saron Phase 3 - Ranged DPS never has to turn back

Yeah that's kinda the whole point. Melee can turn around when the beam happens and still do DPS to guardians, but it doesn't work the same way for ranged. If you switch Ranged and melee assignments the ranged can never have to turn their backs which gives the raid effectively 100% DPS time in phase3.

I personally couldn't get this working in my 25m so I just went to my normal spot and we killed him regularly. I turned away as much as possible but the pink beams still hit me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong as far as positioning goes but I didn't have time to test it out extensively (didn't want to die from the adds and look like a noob lol).

Let me know if anyone else gets it working well and I'll give it another shot next week.

killed yoggi 2 days ago and i can say for a fact that i couldnt dps him with the sideways trick. whenever i was in a position to dps i got the gaze. whenever i didnt get the gaze i couldnt dps. i dont know maybe i did something wrong.

this isnt for nuking yogg but rather only for adds..so if like normally its done..ranged nukes yogg this is completely useless.

I believe many guilds stack dot classes on this fight for this very reason. You will have the most uptime on the corruptors/crushers as well as the boss. Since you dont have to face the boss to reapply dots leaving you able to spend most of your time turned around short of using fillers.

No testing needed, this is common sense. But as a DPS, you should NEVER bet focusing only on guardians. You have to be DPSing Yogg every second possible, turn around, and dps guardians for 5 seconds, and then start dpsing Yogg again.

Yogg does not take damage for guardians' deaths.

Well if you're any ranged other than a hunter you can turn and DPS yogg if there's a lul inbetween guardians (but if you're doing hardmode you probably won't have many of those). Mainly this spot is optimized for DPS on guardians though.

Whoops. Well that's no longer a guild anymore anyways

This is partly true, however for hardmode kills you need to have much better optimization on phase3 DPS. Not every ranged will be on guardians 24/7 but there will be people who are on guardians full-time without the +DPS% buffs from the watchers, I can guarantee it (at least in 25man). Also, don't forget about the melee who are turning and DPS'ing yogg inbetween purple -sanity beams.
