Ah. In the video, it was all fuzzy. Saw the white/grey color and assumed Spriest

Re: World of Warcraft

So I started playing again. Since my old guild (which I loved) is still in tatters, I decided to leave it for a guild that was actually doing 25-man progression. Joined a new guild and we downed heroic beasts last night... I just don't like the environment nearly as much. Everyone starts yelling on vent when anything goes wrong, and I feel like the environment is so hostile all the time.. =\ I miss xeno.

HOLY **** I REMEMBER XENO.

It's so weird remembering Norgannon. I transferred away for Malfurion about a year ago now.

If you feel like changing servers, I'm in a guild with a casual schedule, but incredibly skilled people.

ded anub

rofl your rogue sucks we have the same quality gear and i outdps him by a ton


So we got our first night of solid Anub hardmode attempts in. The main competitor with us for Realm firsts was bragging about 15% after two weeks of attempts - we got him down to 20% after four hours of attempts. The first half of the night was devoted to figuring out Phase 1 and 2, but now we're good on that - the only hurdle we have left to get out of the way is for our healers to get the hang of Phase 3.

I'm confident we'll have it down when we go back on Sunday though.

NO IT WAS I
who topped dps

I hope you're not comparing your dps in a 25 man raid to his dps in a 10 man raid. I believe he only had one or two melee raid buffs. He had to sacrifice a bit of his dps to apply expose armor as well because our warrior wasn't tanking Anub. Most of that raid was set up so that casters had the advantage since we have so many in the raid.

Leeching swarm does 10% of health each second, with a minimum of 250 damage.

Is it just me, or does that mean you can heal through all of phase 3 with just a healing stream totem, vampiric embrace, and a judgement of light on the boss? At the very least it would trivialize healing for one or two groups, making healing the remaining groups and the tanks that much simpler too...

Not to mention using Wound Poison on his dagger to get the 50% healing debuff.

It's 20% in hard mode (30% in 25-man hard mode), but yes, you can heal through phase 3 with just those things. The problem is how low you keep the raid and how quick you are on reactions, as Penetrating Cold will kill two people if you don't get heals on them before the first tick of the debuff takes effect.

This is pretty much how we do it in both 10 and 25 mans. However, for phase3 for 25 man heroic, we have everyone pop a frost protection potion that absorbs 4-6k frost damage. It's gives our healers that extra few seconds for the first few penetrating colds.

No, I'm comparing my DPS in a 10-man raid to his in a 10-man raid. I do about 7k in 25, and about 6k in 10s. He has about the same gear quality as me - I only have one ToC-25 drop so far.

Re: World of Warcraft

Is that with expose armor in your rotation and Wound Poison on? Also, lay off him. =[

Because rogue rotations are difficult amirite?

Re: World of Warcraft

Look, we don't exactly run with the best comps or players. I only ask that our DPSers can all pull over 4k.

There, problem solved.

Edit: I plugged that raidcomp into a raidcomp calculator to show what buffs he was missing.

-Windfury/Icy Talons. No melee haste increase.
-LoTP/Rampage. No melee crit chance inrease.
-Blood Frenzy/Poisoning. No -4% melee damage taken debuff.
-Mangle/Trauma. No bleed damage increase (dunno if he uses bleeds, but it's not there if he does).

That may make some difference. Considering the raid buffs I'm missing are:

-Imp. Scorch. No bonus 5% crit chance.

Yeah. That's a real bummer there. Especially with that guaranteed crit I have.

Well I made a toon on that realm Dev and his name is Baridon.

Re: World of Warcraft

I'm no master of rogues, so do not take what I say with too much seriousness. I don't know how to play one because I have never played one nor have I read about them. I was just defending a guild mate.

Re: World of Warcraft

Don't worry, playing a PvE rogue is about as hard as remembering to breathe.
