Chimaeron Tactics
This is a two phase fight. Phase 1 consists of timing, particularly on the side of your healers. There is an NPC that will allow the raid to live through Chimaerons attacks that would normally kill them outright. For the buff to work correctly all raid members need to be above 10k hp at all times, when an attack is received that would kill that raid member their health is reduced to 1hp rather than dying. Your healers will need to bring those members back to at least 10k hp or more for the buff to be effective again for the next attack. Raid members need to be aware of this and be ready to use healthstones, health pots or any other abilities and consumables that will help raise their health if they think the heal will not land in time.
At periodic times during the encounter Chimaerons heads will start to argue, it's at this point that the NPC's buff to stop you getting killed will not be active. During this part of the encounter all raid members need to stack together as they will still be taking damage from the Caustic Slime, this damage is 300k split between the number of enemies within 6 yards, so stacking on top of each other is a must to stop insta death. If you execute this part correctly the Bile-o-tron will come back online and again your healers can raise the raid members to 10k + hp to stop insta gib.
At 20% the whole raid receives a debuff called Mortality, that will reduce all healing by 99%, at this point EVERY raid member must nuke the living hell out of the boss as it's a race to see who dies first.
Good luck out there and check back often for updates,
