Yes we tried everything we could to do some form of los on nef, and it did help some, but sometimes he would just park it on a melee and obliterate the melee group or something similar. We were not using gspp (though we probably should have been), but looking over the numbers for damage taken last night, it seems like they would be of limited effectiveness. Perhaps if we got a good pull they could have gotten us into p2, but our healers would probably still have been oom. We were having people taking over 10k shadow damage halfway into phase 1.

My guild was progressing on Nefarian the other night, and we were wiping again and again in phase 1 due to shadowbolt volley. The ability just seemed to be acting very wonky and bugged out, and I wanted to know if other guilds who have downed nef could corroborate on whether or not this behavior is normal or not. So basically, we were getting hit with shadowbolt volly way too frequently. He just seemed to spam it constantly the whole phase for the most part, about 4-5 seconds apart. Our healers were going oom from all the aoe healing they had to do, and they all said it felt like healing on vael from how much aoe damage was going out on the raid. He also tended to teleport to one player and just sit on them while casting his volley over and over, so one side of the raid would usually just get screwed over then get overrun while the other would be fine for a little while. All in all, this lead to a giant wipefest where we never really made it out of phase 1 because of the crazy amount of shadow damage.

It looks like you had a stroke while on an overdose of paint thinner dude. Don't go too hard.
