Raid Boss Damage

[TheGrinnz]

In an effort to find the optimal tanking setup for various fights, this is a list of raid boss fights and a breakdown of the tank and raid damage that occurs in each. I've added 1-2 recommended stats for the tank or raid to focus on for mitigating each fight, of course Endurance is always helpful mitigation for any fight. When Armor is listed, physical damage reduction from talents also helps of course, similarly with resists.

A few abilities such as add attacks or mechanics that do less than 100 damage have been left out so as not to confuse the lists. For the most part the Raid Damage also applies to the tanks, if it is significant tank damage as well it will be included in both lists. Some abilities may be missing due to me not being able to get a parse including them yet.

For brevity I will list the attributes of each ability as the following:
block - Damage is blockable (block, deflect)
avoid - Damage is avoidable (parry, dodge)
mechanic - Damage can be avoided via mechanics

I like what you're doing here and look forward to the other bosses. Maybe you can start by throwing out the most important dangerous abilities. Btw it would probably be useful for people who dont already know the bosses to either add some rough dmg numbers or highlight the important ones (like cascade for Gelidra) in some way. While the importance of resistance/avoidance has clearly decreased, I think this is still pretty cool for min-maxers like me.

I can certainly bold a few of the highest damaging or most threatening attacks, putting down rough numbers could be extremely rough though, since most of it varies significantly based on armor or resist level, as well as slightly between different specs. Also the amount of damage an attack does may be more or less important, depending how frequently it hits or how easy it is to avoid or predict. So that starts getting into more of an actual guide for the encounter. Also I still cannot edit the OP so I'll have to see if I can get a mod to update it.
