Spirit Kings the short version

[Dorian]

So for those who don't want to wade through the icy-veins guide here's the simple version.

Phase 1 will always be the same.
Merciless Phase
1) Massive Attack: Stack on the Tank
2) Annihilate: Don't stand in Dusty Clouds of Doom. Run through the boss.
3) Flanking Orders: Those statues are not your friends get out the way, see Rule 1

Phases 2-4 will be in a random order so be on your toes.
1) Flanking Orders: Don't need to stack on Tank unless Maddening Shout incoming.

Shadow Phase
1) Charged Shadows: Spread out 8 yards is preferable.
2) Shadow Blast: We all played the Kickaclysm so you know what to do.
3) Undying Shadows: If you are fixated GTFO and do not nuke it till it is reasonably away from raid as it drops a void zone on death. This ability like Flanking Orders will still happen when Shadow Guy dies.

Madness Phase
1) Crazed hurts the Tank. Cowardice hurts you.
2) Crazy Thoughts: If Insanity < 60 KICK IT. If Insanity > 60 DON'T KICK IT.
3) Maddening Shout: Stack on Tank. You can hurt allies so unless you are assigned to AoE just wail on the boss. Those assigned to AoE need to do 40k to everyone in raid. DO NOT USE ABILITIES THAT APPLY DEBUFFS/DOTS. This ability will still happen when Madness Guy dies.

Bow Phase
1) Volley: Three forward cones of arrowey death. Don't stand in it. In fact be behind him.
2) Rain of Arrows: You get rooted by a destructible arrow. Spread out so your friends don't get stuck too. If you friend is stuck kill that arrow.
3) Pillage: Spread out and when he channels GTFO. Getting Pillaged is bad. VERY VERY BAD. And yes this one still happens when Bow Guy dies.

General Rule
Unless phase 1 or incoming Maddening Shout. SPREAD OUT.

We'll need to assign a Maddening Shout breaker, and I may respec into Gorefiend's Grasp which pulls all enemies in 20 yards to me and is on short cooldown when Shout happens so that everyone is in a nice clump. However that does not mean you don't need to run my way it's just there as a buffer. Gonna try it in LFR first before I take it into raid.

I think a Shadow Priest would be good for this, since our aoe hits everybody in range and doesn't leave any effects behind.

Congrats on the spirit kings kill!

Next on the list is elegon? First boss in HoF may be easier depending on dps.
