Cakebro doesn't change much from Heroic...
The fight is still about eating cake, got to eat the cake, and jumping on exploding robots.
We split the room into 4 quarters and had each group cover a specific area. Exactly what this was supposed to achieve I have no idea, as the cakes didn't get the memo and still appeared wherever they felt like.
This led to a couple of strange wipes as people stuck to their assigned positions while other areas were overflowing with cake.
We ended up splitting into our groups then having to move all over the room to make sure all the cake was eaten, it seemed rather pointless to me.
Anyway, cake issues aside, there is one major change on Mythic difficulty... the addition of a mini-Cakebro!
In what I hope to be a homage to Austin Powers, Trilliax has his own little mini-me!
Mini-Cakebro builds up energy as the fight goes on and, if it reaches full energy, performs one of the big moves of Trilliax himself depending on which phase it is.
One of them can even cast his own mini version of Annihilation!
There is some passive energy gain but it mainly comes from a buff applied to the add. Luckily, this buff can be purged and that was my job (Shamans is useful see, bring them to your raids) so I was fully prepared for this fight.
I didn't need to bother.
The fight played out exactly like Heroic.
Mini-me did kill a couple of people the first time we saw him as the tanks weren't ready to pick him up but, after that, he was completely irrelevant.
I did purge him but I'm not even sure it was necessary as he was being cleaved down so fast he could barely build up any energy anyway. The most one of them managed was around 25%.
It was such an anti-climax, the add barely had any effect on the fight. Maybe it is different if you have no Shaman in your raid to purge (or Priest to dispel... or Mage to Spellsteal...) but it was far too easy to handle.
6 attempts and we were 3/10 Mythic!
That took us to Krosus which is certainly a step up in difficulty!
We didn't get very far but it was enough to resurrect the 54th trait debate all over again.
Oh joy.
