The Conclave of Winds is the multi-boss first encounter in the Throne of Winds. This encounter is a bit random, and requires clear division of (and execution of) raid duties.
There are three bosses that make up this encounter, each of which resides on their own air platform. The key to success on Conclave is to split up the raid in a manner that plays to the Conclave's weaknesses: the majority of DPS as well as 1 tank and healer will work on Anshal, the second tank and healer, accompanied by one floating dps works on Nezir, while the third healer and a ranged dps will work on Rohash. Periodically, the bosses will transition to an "ultimate" phase. During this period we had all the dps switch to Nezir, while the tank and healer pairs rotated between Nezir and Anshal. The ranged Rohash tank self-healed and stayed with Rohash. To complicate matters, these three bosses must be killed within 1 minute of each other or they respawn at full health, so the raid had to coordinate dps across the encounter in order to ensure a kill.
The randomness of this fight can make it a bit tricky, and the limited value of the loot means that it's only a means to an end, which is getting to Al'Akir, the end boss in the Throne of Winds. This is a great test of raid coordination, and does challenge the raid to be on their toes. Good job on the kill folks.
