X Practice Addon
Mythic L'ura Phase 4
Mythic L'ura is a long complex fight where most of your wipes (~60%) occur in Phase 1. Every time that your raid gets past Phase 1, you want to make the best of the pull and it feels real bad to wipe in Phase 4 when you're just so close to killing the boss. The Phase itself is quite simple as there's only a few mechanics:
Stack Up
Move to the sides with Starsplinter
Handling the Animals
Run from the giant Heaven & Hell laser beam.
All of these are simple, but all the mechanics are one-shots. In addition, any person who dies is a significant decrease in damage as just by being alive, each player deals 445k DPS a second passively from the The Last Light crystal.
Staying alive is very important just to deal crystal damage.
Compared to the rest of the encounter, this Phase has the lowest number of the mechanics but a very very few number of guilds actually one-shot the Phase right now, with the average seeming around 6 or 7 pulls.
This is where X Practice can come in to help.
X Practice Addon
You may remember the X Practice Addon from back in Ny'olatha where it had a Xanesh soccer simulator to help people practice. With its most recent update, the addon has been updated to provide a Phase 4 L'ura simulator, where players can practice the phase before they get there.
If you download the addon and type /xp, you can bring up the simulator. This simulation doesn't include any Tank responsibilities, and is mostly for DPS and healers. The simulation has basically identical movement to a real Phase 4 pull meaning that you can practice Starsplinters, dodging Animals and running from Heaven and Hell.
The simulator will let you know if you would have died, or would have caused a death, pausing the game and letting you know what happened. This includes:
Hitting another player with your Starsplinter
Getting hit by another player's Starsplinter
Leaving the safety circle
Getting hit by an animal
If you complete the entire phase, you get a congratulations screen!
If you're getting close to Phase 4, you may want to give this addon a try!
