Baby Faced XT-002 Deconstructor

XT, I swear, has some of the most amusing emotes currently in the game. He(?) also has the emotes which are likely to get the most annoying fast in the game.

So, some tips for getting the kid down.

Shopping List:
1 MT + 2ish MT healers
2 OTs + 1 OT healer
Melee
Ranged
4 Ranged healers (you will need it)

First up is raid distribution.
Deadly boss mods has a thing that you can use which is a range finder. Type /range then drag it where you like it. Right click on it and set the range to 15(ish) yards. This is really important for later.

Tanks and melee
There is no reason why you cant practise hard mode positioning in normal mode XT.  Your MT tanks XT in the middle where he paces to, turn XT to face the stairs (ie away from the raid). Melee stacks in one group, on XT’s left arse cheek. Melee need to make sure their range checker does NOT have the MT on it. Now the mantra to remember is “Light Is Right” so, when melee get searing light, they run off to the right and stand on XT’s right leg, out of range of the MT and other melee.  Keep DPSing, and when searing light finishes, head back to the left leg.  If melee get Gravity Bomb, they charge off to the left and out of range so people don’t get sucked to them.  When it is over, they move back to the left leg.   If the MT gets moved everyone repositions, don’t just mill around like an idiot and wonder why you cant reach the melee anymore or why you are not getting heals.

XT has a massive hit box, take advantage of that.

The melee stay on the boss, then move to the heart, then back on the boss. Rinse repeat. They assist on adds as required.

OTs pick up the big trash guys and tank them “over there”.

Ranged and add control
Ranged and healers stack on a point about 25 yards behind the tank.  Everyone should be in range for the healers, if not then shout out and reposition.  Ranged should be allocated to add spawn points as necessary; do your thing when the adds are out and smash the boss/heart when not. Never under any circumstances, let the little crappy bots get to XT. Get melee on it if you have to, but XT must never heal.

When you cop a debuff as ranged, you do a very similar thing to the melee.  Light is right, so move to the right leg when you get that, and strafe off to the left when you get gravity.  Move back as quickly as you can.

This is probably the most important part of killing XT. If you can afford to ignore adds during this phase, I really recommend you just let the OTs to it. The first heart phase is the most important, there are no adds up and everyone can DPS the heart, except trees. Leave the trees to heal. Pop Heroism, pop all your CDs, get as much DPS on that heart the first time around as you can. If you do enough DPS then smash XT, you will miss a tantrum or several as you will have skipped past it on the health meter. The more tantrums you can miss, the easier it will be on the healers.

That’s it. Not hard really, just a bit punishing on the healers and keeping the adds under control (as usual) is key. Good Luck!
