Heat Exhaustion
Light Ray
The boss is a hard dps race as the damage from burst will be getting more and more the longer the fight lasts. Do it as following:
- tank should never get hit by smash (on challenge mode it is nearly a one hit)
- have the rest of the group stand behind the boss (there is no cleave or anything else), so your healer will have it easier to heal the damage from energize and burst
- use group cooldowns during energize to reduce the damage (which is really adviced as you get three beams in challenge mode!)
- dps hard, harder, hardest

Here's what worked for our group. We weren't all mythic or raid geared doing a WoD normal, we had PuG dps.
1) tank faces boss away from group (near the edge of fighting area)
2) healer and dps get behind the boss *avoiding the big frontal aoe*
3) players get into the beam, which seems to reduce the time it takes for boss to "charge up".This player might take a 50k hit and several 10k ticks, but with self absorbs and heals, should not cause a problem.
After trying this method after a couple attempts, we "almost" had it, except I had a mouse problem and couldn't get into the 4th beam as quick as I would have liked, I died, and we wiped. (ret pally) (could be done by warrior, mage, priest, warlock, rogue, probably hunter, or even hunter pet if "send to" was used. (not sure about the hunter I haven't tried it))Next attempt was successful!
We tried this as a straight, balls out, burst dps on boss fight method, and died horribly. lol.
