Forlorn Legacy Presents...XT-002 Deconstructor!
Please watch in HD!
Last night Blizzard had us testing the encounter just beyond Ignis and Razorscale, The XT-002 Deconstructor! The fight is pretty simple, he will cast two abilities on raid members - "Light Bomb" and "Gravity Bomb" both of which will require the person to run away from the raid. Light Bomb will hit everyone for 2500 damage every second, and Gravity Bomb will detonate after 9 seconds, causing ~20k damage. XT-002 will also cast Tympanic Tantrum, an earthquake like effect that deals damage equal to 10% of your health every second for 12 seconds, everyone in the raid will need a heal in order to survive. Every 25%, the XT-002 will spawn three different types of adds - Scrapbots, Boombots and Pummeler. The Pummelers just need to be offtanked, they don't hit very hard, but they do cleave, the Scrapbots will heal the boss if they reach him, and the Boombots...go boom, they explode for ~13k. For 20 seconds, you will be unable to target the XT-002 but instead you can target the "Heart of the Deconstructor" which is related to this encounter's hard mode.
The way I see it, as long as you're geared correctly and can pull it off without having mana issues, there is no downside to spamming the entire fight. You'll top effective healing and overhealing and never go OOM so yeah. It's just the most effective strategy.
