T11 is open for soloing, hunters. Mione, the Death Knight who soloed the Lich King has soloed Atramedes on her hunter!
What’s important to know:
- Intervene can negate a Modulation tick entirely and I found the most practical use was right after evey sonic breath since Atramedes casts modulation 100% of the time right after it.
- Deterrence counters Searing Flames and is exactly on the same cooldown as Searing Flames (2 minutes)
- You must not have any DoT on Atramedes during air phase (including Piercing Shots) or the sonic breath won’t stop targeting you. Disengage, wait for a sonar bomb to spawn, feign death, wait a sec or two, and you’re safe. That’s also why I’m not using Serpent Sting (because of chimera refreshing it)Rest is pretty much common sense.
