Its that time again! A new boss that I've hit a wall on. Are you a bad enough dude to save the president's daughter? er Strategist to get me past this hump?
Anywho, I have my tanks set up macro wise take control of an initiate to spam blood strike, and taunt and bone barrier off each other every 20 seconds. Razuvius just seems to out DPS my healing. Anyone got any helpful hints or tiny things I may be missing?
Make sure your casting Bone Barrier before the taunt, not after. And your understudies need to taunt off one another every 15 seconds, not every 20. I think if I were gonna 10 box this fight Id have to manually time this... put blood strike on my dps button, but have two different taunt buttons setup forswapping from one tank to the other... these could also be mapped to update the heal target.

Razuvius down. God damn a lot can go wrong in that fight.
There is almost no luck factor there tbh, you should check if there where no pally shadow aura's or certain totems for shammies up, that can break the mc, nothing else for the rest then running out of range of the mc (for heroic the others should apply for normal as well I think).

I'll remember that the next time I wipe because the controlling orb bugged out and my off tank's POV got stuck on one of the students, but he didn't have control of it.

I'm sure there are bugs but there are also four things that drop MC in 10 man prematurely:
1. using one of your regular abilities. As a multiboxer I tend to spam my F (follow main) and 2 (main dps/tank key) a lot without even thinking about it, and they are "off" my main bar which turns into the possession bar during MCs. If I don't turn the bar that has these other keys to become disabled during possession and I hit them during MC, the MC always breaks. Stuff in Bindpad, Macaroon macros, main key bindings, etc that you click for abilities on alt and is also bound on your tanks will break MC.
2. Going out of range. In 25 man priests the further priests are from their pets the easier it is for MC to break every pulse. In 10 man, I think the distance is calculated from the initial possession point, so moving around too much will break MC.
3. spam clicking the pole in 10 man. Since there is server time involved just click once, if you spam click you MC, unMC instantly and it gets messy. After an MC break wait a second for the server to recognize that you are no longer MCing too, I find if I click instantly after an MC break I almost never get it and it gets messy.
4. I do this on purpose, but doing /dance (and probably other emotes) breaks MC. I will /dance every 40-60 seconds when the other tank picks up Raz, then I wait one second and re-MC.
