with the resist and an average 10k HP this would be healable

though lets look atit from a reality view.

Most ppl hover around 80% for this fight at best

SO you have 6 second

cut to 5 to account for targeting  

thats 2 maybe 3 casts of CoH with global cooldown 

you have to make up almost 7k dmg overkill before we even talk about survival

average CoH is say  1000 ( from last WWS )  So you would NEED 3 priests just to make sure people lived and that is baring mistakes or non resists or low hp to start (which is fairly common here ) 

So even with 4 CoH priests added that much raid dmg to an already huge dmg fight is something that would really need to be looked at as a last resort for a dps push

there is to much dmg already flying around this damn fight

I'm guessing the entire raid needs Arcane Resist. It's 21K raw damage over 6 seconds to the entire group otherwise.

I've seen this strat on EJ before and it's everyone wearing cloaks and trinkets. Which theoretically averages out to 14.7K raw damage over 6 seconds to the entire group.

---------------------------------------------

The one huge advantage that I can see in this strat, Ewiges - is that there is no lost time for dps.

When encapsulate hits, it forces a whole group to move for ~6-8 seconds.  In that time, as many as 5-6 dps'ers are forcibly moved and must stop attacking while they move.

On average, a group will consist of ~4 dps'ers and they will move for ~7 seconds.  Most of our dps are hitting the 1700 mark for dps, so 1700 dps x 4 dps'ers x 7 seconds = 47,600 damage lost.  Every time a group moves for encapsulate, we lose 47,600 potential damage done - this is about 0.68% of her total health.

Given that we have to deal with anywhere from 4-8 encapsulates in a typical, "to enrage" fight with Felmyst, that means we lose out on 190,400 to 380,800 damage due to moving from Encapsulates - meaning we have to deal 2.5 to 5% more raid-wide damage as a result to make up for that lost damage.

TL;DR version - less moving = more damage, more damage = dead boss.

However, I'm still concerned with the raid healing required by this strat.

Well this is just a quick mock up I drew in MSart, like I said was talking to some guys from destromath during a WSG. This is what I got out of it. I was waiting til either tomorrow or the weekend to bring this up.

Currently we ARE improving on our strat and there is no way either strat should prevent us from killing felmyst. With that said lets keep trying to proove our current strat. If we do get to the point where a majority of the raid feels like we are not improving, this could be an indea in the air.

I believe you were telling me with this layout you do not run when someone in your grp gets incapsulate.  You just heal through it with a total of 3 Coh priest hitting the grp.
