when you finish the phase you might find yourself fire capped you'll see the explosions but fires won't appear from those explosions nor will the current fires grow if not continue to control the fires for the next phase as shown here in phase three blue beams will appear where emergency fire bots will spawn these have a deafening siren ability that silences everyone within 15 yards and they have a water spray that hits anyone in its range for 20,000 damage knocks them back 200 yards and puts out any fire in its path any of these that are in danger of being near the raid must be killed immediately one plate DPS such as a death knight is responsible for taunting the bomb bots away from the raid and blowing them up even without a cool-down they should not one shot to play DPS as they hit for about 20k fire damage junk bots are picked up by the assault by tank whenever possible during this all dps is focused on killing the first two assault bots that spawn and assigning someone to loop both cores as the second assault but is about to go down the range tank must move the aerial command unit to a safe spot if necessary when we have two cores we bring him down bloodlust and burn cooldowns when he comes up he'll spawn a bomb bot that must be dragged away from the raid if necessary we quickly move the aerial command unit to another safe spot and he's brought back down again at this point the aerial command unit should be below 15% health and now the range stay on the head to finish it off while the melee clean up the remaining bots when the aerial command unit is about to die the main tank is to taunt the head so it gets aggro at the beginning of phase 4 if we have a hunter tank the add in phase 3 they can then feign death or if we use a warlock they can soul shadow to drop their threat after the taunt during the transition to phase four clean out the remaining bots while controlling the fire plan out in advance where you're going to put them initially in this phase the only extra ability he retains is frost bombs and you must pay attention to those at all times the range groups set back up again and act much like they did in phase two your to keep dpsing and healing while moving the groups to minimize hand pulse damage and avoiding fires Rockets shock blast frost bombs proximity mines and laser barrage this is another burn phase and you'll likely run into the enrage timer on your first kill when it enrages the room self destructs dealing 12000 damage every second only giving a few more seconds on the boss while survival cooldowns are still up overall memory runs hard mode will test your players ability to perform their best while constantly moving there is a high DPS requirement that's very well tuned but more importantly there's a lot to be aware of situational and encounter awareness from all of your Raiders are key to this encounter thanks for watching this movie as always feel free to ask questions or add suggestions either on YouTube or in the strategy thread on tanks pot comm also tanks pot donors can download all of these movies in high definition directly from our servers click the second link in the movie information box to learn more
