Any advice for Matron? We do well till 30% then the ichor ability just one shots our tanks. We don't have much experience, maybe 7 attempts total, but it's the only thing cock blocking us from a win

Natural conversion from chloro's and death resist. How many stacks are you letting her get to?

Can't remember, we've been popping her at 25 each, so I think she's getting close. I've read on doing 35 for the first then 25 after

Try 27-30 stacks with cd rotation on tank, maybe you're short on dps?

We were pulling about 25k raid dps per attempt, so don't think it's that.

Warrior tanks get trucked by Ichor. I've done it a lot of times with a Warrior + Rogue tank. The Warrior tanks it more so in the beginning and the Rogue in the end. Otherwise you'll just need Death Resist and to save some CD's other than Covenant for when it's hitting a Warrior tank. Our Warrior tank used the Max-Mitigation spec and would still get hit for a lot

Well we didn't get a chance to play with Matron since we had to relearn our Zilas strat since the HP nerf actually made that fight more fucking annoying. Our kill last week we had 5-6 magus total. We had wipes yesterday with 2-3 magus walking down at the same fucking time.

How have you tried Matron with a Rogue tank?

I haven't played in a couple weeks since my computer has been broken, but instead of popping the book at the same stack everytime, we took the first one higher than all the others (I want to say somewhere around 30 but its been awhile) so that way when she starts using Revolting Ichor we can stop her around 20 before it gets out of hand. I haven't personally killed her yet but we had gotten her to 2% this way, just had too many melee die to stupid shit.
Also death resist I think makes a big difference, we had 2 warrior tanks and one would get trucked and the other just took the hits like no problem. I think he had significantly more death resist although I don't tank so it may have been the spec he used.
