Working on learning/teaching that fight at present, I very much object to the depiction of 'relatively simple'. In some ways, that fight is actually harder than LK:

1) When all three healers get slimes.

2) When the 'stand in the circle' boss is adjacent to the 'spread out' boss.

3) Slime on a tank

4) Etc

The synergy between the two bosses up that are up is just plain evil in certain combinations. With LK the fight always, always, always goes the same way. The phases are clear with complex but unchanging instructions for everyone in the raid. Never once did he start dropping defiles in Phase 1, or go back to diseases during Phase 3. Omnotron does.

It's a Cata thing, and I get that, but that fight needs some cleanup. The could AT A MINIMUM set the order of the bosses on normal mode to something fixed, preferably with the two nastiest never up at the same time.

Until they do, we'll just grind Valor until we outgear it. But it sucks.

Is this a joke post? Omnotron is one of the easiest bosses in Cata if your group has the coordination. This fight is hardly a gear check and even pugs in my realm consistently one shot this boss. As long as everyone is doing what they are supposed to do this fight should be easy. If you can't beat Omnotron, you probably won't come close to beating Maloriak, Atramedes and Chimaeron. Halfus Wyrmbreaker is harder than this fight if I'm completely honest with you

@Sky

Relative difficulty is irrelevant. It's still 'harder' than LK. The end.
