Terestian Illhoof

Lots of fun last night. Not downing Illhoof was no big thing, seeing as though we've downed him before and he's optional. But, if we want to try him again, we need to make sure we have every edge we can get. Our latest attempt on Illhoof didn't go so hot (much worse than our failed attempts on our first night) and it seemed like there was a bit of confusion about the fight.

The main confusion seemed to be Kil'rek, and where to focus dps. After the first burn of kil'reck, he'd often be left standing after demon chains were taken care of, and we'd keep dps on illhoof. While this can work, it isn't too efficient and can easily cause oom problems and the lock to get burned down fast due to amplified fire damage.
Kil'reck gets resummoned periodically throughout the fight. If he's up, he should be nuked after demon chains before switching back to illhooh.. here's why:

1. Illhoof takes 25% more damage when kil'reck is down
2. Kil'reck can't amplify the imp fire bolts if he is down (half damage going to the warlock)
3. Kaynark can focus his leet dps on illhoof when kilreck is down and Illhoof is more vulnerable

To simplify the fight, dps should be focused on the highest priority target based on rating. Demon chains are highest priority, kilreck 2nd, and illhoof last. The only exception to this would be if Kil'reck was close to be burned down just before demon chains are going to be summoned, if this is the case, dps should go from kil'reck to illhoof until chains are out, dps chains and then burn out kil'reck. Dps should also wait to pop their damage buff trinkets after kil'reck is downed and dps is being switched to Illhoof, in order to maximize the effect of his 25% debuff.

macros:
to quickly target kil'reck:
/tar Kil'reck

to handle demon chains
/tar demon
/cast (your best burst damage)


shadow protection pots and group shadow protection buffs (if available) will also help to protect against chain damage.
