The assigned tank will announce their status and proceed to dance in and out of the beam (5 seconds in, 5 seconds out). Tanks will stand in Void Zones as their positioning on the beam is too important to risk avoiding them. Blue (DPS) Beam: DPS (except Rogues and Warriors) are assigned to block this beam. Each assigned blocker will announce their status and then will move to stand in the beam. If a Void Zone drops under the bot while the bot is still the assigned blocker, the bot will move along the beam to get out of the Void Zone so that they do not drop the beam. When a blocker reaches 25 stacks of the debuff, they will announce that they are leaving the beam. They will not be called upon to block again before Nether Exhaustion expires. The next eligible bot will simultaneously become the assigned blocker and will take the previous bot's spot to block the beam. If nobody dies, you need only two blue beam blockers per Portal Phase. Green (Healer) Beam: This works the same way as the Blue Beam, except that eligible blockers are healers, Rogues, and DPS Warriors. Healers that are assigned to block will swap in the same way as Blue Beam blockers. If a Rogue or DPS Warrior is the assigned blocker, however, they will stand in the beam for the entire Portal Phase since they do not suffer any adverse effects from the beam. Non-Blockers: They will stay at least 5 yards away from each beam until called to be an assigned blocker. They will also avoid Void Zones. -Tips & Tricks | For the Banish Phase, the only strategy implemented is for bots to avoid residual Void Zones from the Portal Phase. It's up to you whether you want to run away or burn Netherspite. Currently the latter is recommended, as he can be cheesed during the Banish Phase because he fixates on a single player instead of turning and randomly blasting the raid like he is supposed to. - -### Molten Core (FORMAT WIP style 3 - no tables) +### Molten Core +*This raid is completable with IP nerfs. **Lucifron** -* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. * Coded Strategies: None * Tips & Tricks: None +**Magmadar** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Gehennas** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Garr** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Shazzrah** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Baron Geddon** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, with coded strategies and no manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: Yes, Bots have strategy to run away from raid if they get the Living Bomb and will run away from boss during Inferno. +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Sulfuron Harbinger** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, with some degree of manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: Use Skull icon to focus target down individual boss mobs. + +**Golemagg the Incinerator** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, with some degree of manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +**Majordomo Executus** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, with some degree of manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: Use Skull icon to focus target down individual boss mobs. + +**Ragnaros** + +* Defeatable Solo with Bots: Yes, without coded strategies or manual control needed. +* Coded Strategies: None +* Tips & Tricks: None + +### Blackwing Lair +*Note that all Playerbots are automatically granted the Onyxia Scale Cloak buff and will automatically disable suppression devices.
