Well, that didn't end up sized correctly. Meh!

It's color-coded. The big black circle is the final boss in Stormstout Brewery.

Red circle is Mehguy

Gold circle is Elapsed

Green circle is Aeolyn

Blue circle is Foresight

Brown circle is Eli--I can't spell that name off the top of my head, I'm tired.

This fight is a straight up DPS race; complicated by the adds (marked as squares) that get spawned in.

The orange adds near Aeolyn and Elapsed are the first to join combat, followed later by the purple ones behind Foresight and Mehguy.

In Heroic mode; it is feasible to simply murder them. In CMs they have waaaaay too much health for that to be a good idea. All these adds do is channel a beam at the boss (shown as lines in my amazing mock-up). Each beam in contact with the boss will heal him for 1% of his total health per second. And it's A TON of health.

The solution is to simply obstruct the beams by standing in them. This is a very simple mechanic that gets complicated by 2 issues.

1) He will spawn more adds the longer the fight goes on, eventually rendering the fight impossible due to the lack of bodies to intercept all the beams. This can be overcome by using DPS pots and zerging him down in 60-70 seconds. Also, things like pets can be used to block beams. Hunter pets are bad for this as they need to be in melee range and sort of have a mind of their own for positioning. However, Foresight's water elemental can attack at ranged and can be used to block a beam if absolutely necessary.

2) He has a move that makes 2 brew waves sweep across the ground. If you get hit; they stun you for 5+ seconds -- which means a nasty DPS loss. On Heroic the solution is to jump over the waves; here...that becomes a gamble. The beam targetting is very fickle and jumping runs the risk of the beam losing you and hitting the boss for a few seconds. The best solution I've found is to simply eat the waves and pop Everyman For Himself / Beastial Wrath / Iceblock / anything to prevent or undo the stun once both waves have safely passed.

He should only live long enough to use his brew wave move two times. Maybe only once if DPS is pristine.

With proper positioning, enough damage, and a bit of luck; we should get this.
