Quote:Any tips out there from those that have worked through beating this encounter on heroic mode?
Having finally put some time in on Yogg25 last night and taken him out, I am turning our raids towards heroic mode ToC25.
After an hour on beasts, I'm honestly not sure we have the DPS for it yet, so DPS benchmarks or tips would be appreciated, as would tips on keeping the 3 tanks alive (lost tanks during phase 1 every pull).
Hard to give advice without specifically knowing where you're having trouble, but it sounds like you're having issues taking out Gormok before the worms come in, and losing tanks. How are you tanking Gormok?
With regards to DPS, the requirement is not as high as it was pre-nerf. You can do just fine with an average of around 5.5k. The key is to practice a lot and get used to the fight, like properly spreading out and moving the minimum distance to keep the max dps time on Gormok.
All that said, if you just got Yogg-25, then you'd be well served with another few weeks of farming normal and maybe putting in some time on some of the easier Ulduar hard modes. The first four bosses of Trial of the Grand Crusader-25 are tuned for guilds between 2/9 and 5/9 Ulduar hard modes, at the very least, which is marginally ahead of where you are now.
