Highmaul - Brackenspore - Infesting Spores a little bit easier

[Agapyr]

Hi @all,

most of the following should be considered common sense among raiders, but I will post it nevertheless

Brackenspore casts regularly Infesting Spores, placing a stacking debuff on the entire raid. This debuff stacks up to 10 every second dealing an increasing amount of damage to every player.

Common tactic uses healing shrooms to counter the damage while also utilizing raid and personal cooldowns. But several classes have abilities that enable them to drop the stacks completely.

Priest - Spectral *****
Hunter - Feign Death / Deterrence (this will not immediately reset your stacks, you have to wait for the debuff to run out)
Mage - Greater Invisibility / Ice Block
Rogue - Cloak of Shadows / Vanish (Feint can be used to reduce remaining damage)
Paladin - Bubble (Hand of Purity reduces damage by 80%, might be most useful on tanks with high stacks)
DK - AMS (this will not immediately reset your stacks, you have to wait for the debuff to run out, will also generate runic power)

To get the highest damage reduction you should use the abilities at about 5 stacks. Deterrence and AMS let you drop the stacks by preventing any further stacks of being applied.

Theory...not tested yet, but it might be possible that Shadowmeld and some items may work, as long as you are able to drop combat with those. But this needs further clarification.

There are still enough things that can kill you, like waves and explosions. But this will maybe make it little bit easier for you healers. It is still strongly adviced to utilise beneficial shrooms. Have fun

if your going into mythic infesting spore is probs easiest to manage among healers.

usually alot of guilds have issues with the adds and not doing soaking the thing they shoot out.

You are correct. During mythic progression you usually demand a lot from your healers. Most of the time you just replace healers with DDs to meet enrage timers.

But as this site is not only dedicated to progression raiders, this might help some raids if they are struggling to keep the raid alive. If you consider this useless, I won't force you to use it. But at least I put you in a position where you can decide to reduce the main source of incoming damage in this encounter by a quite huge amount.

yeh thats fine, hopefully it helps some as im currently 6/7 mythic.

Thank you for this, our hunters taking half of the other players dmg now, that helps a lot for them also with flamethrower.
