We've finished the achievements this expansion and we're just working on consistency for a few of them for stragglers and new folks. De-Illusion on Dance of the Demiurge is giving us some headaches. He likes to eat the baneable add before it even activates to be baned. We've tried a massive burn and he just ate both adds in a 2-3 second timespan. Our successful runs have been mostly down to luck (he eats the non-baneable one first, etc). Any tips for consistently getting this one would be appreciated!
Thats the problem. Theres a few % between adds and scripted event. Slow roll (at least slow down a couple percent before adds), no dots, no swarm, immediately back off once you get the event emote for adds, adds will take a couple ticks to activate then bane them and continue on.
So it's mostly just down to the luck of him not eating the baneable add before it can be baned (as in, before our baners can cast on it without it saying "You cannot cast [blank] spell on this target" or whatever)?
there is a wave of adds that spawn at 11% or so he eats adds <=10. For some reason he will not spawn adds if you hold him at 12% though At least in my Experience
He only eats adds in the last 10% (maybe 8%) so if you stop before then you can get the adds baned then kill him through the last 10% before he summons more. Or at least that was my understanding.
We VERY slowly DPSed him from 12 down to 11, then down to 10. Didn't get adds until 10 and he immediately ate one. Maybe we needed to hold longer at 11? We'll give it another shot next week. Most of us have it already from pure luck runs early on, but a few missed it so trying to get it for them
Offtank every non-baneable add and then pray at the end. You can splash heal the purple one before it activates I think? If you get lucky and are super fast. Unfortunately you might need a great conjunction to get this one, which happens like once every 20 years.
We probably get it about 50% of the time on both main raids and casual raids. Have not concentrated on it since it has been gotten often enough we have not had any real demand to try hard to get it.
A little more detail to enhance Muji's post, as this method is extremely reliable. Once in the final phase of Malt (50->0%) and after killing the ooze that spawns with him (unless you doing Multitudes too) focus all DPS on boss. Adds spawn in 2, and bane the correct one while leaving the other for off tank. Once you push Malt under 11% (target 9-10%), you will have 4 non-bane adds up and he will begin eating them to go back up to 11%. Kepp repeating to take him to 9% and once last one is dead, burn the boss down and you should be able to beat that last spawn from activating.
just to let you guys know how to get it let one of the blob turn into a god get the bosses down to 11% wait for the god to pop a flygirl then burn dps the boss down it will eat the fly girl and heal up to 12% and pop the last set of adds then wait dor them to actibate despan the one and then kill the bosses
