Orcala Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 My cable is out tonight so right now I have no net,phone, or TV. I reported it an hour ago and was told they were already working on it. The whole neighborhood is hosed. Dunno if it'll be back up in time for tonight's raid but Ill log on when I can. Yay for having a tablet with 3g for emergency posting. Now if it could only run wow. Did you forget? The raid tonight has already been cancelled due to Holyssa and Orcala missing. Yeah you can thank us later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It looks like there's a login server issue right now. There are a number of posts popping up on the Blizz forums regarding folks getting a message that the server is busy when they try to log on. I'm currently among 'em.

Kadi Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Wanted to give you all a heads-up that the tornadoes that hit St. Louis on Friday went through about 4 blocks from Anamarie's (and my) house. Trees and power lines were uprooted and broken like twigs, and there was extensive damage to our neighborhood on two sides of us. We are both fine and our home is relatively unscathed (just a few missing shingles, a broken storm door and broken outdoor light fixture), but our power is still out, and I am not sure when it, or our cable (which will probably come back later than the power), will be back up. Chances are, I will have to miss raid on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll have cable back by Thursday. I'll keep you up to date when I get more information. Hope to see you all soon. -Kadi Edited April 25, 2011 by Kadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kailand Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Ok, I got a response from the Al'Akir ticket. We got the Helm of the Forlorn Protector (Warrior, hunter, shaman) and a Cloudburst Ring, which is a str DPS ring. The ring, I'm having sent to Sardaukkar, since it's an upgrade for him regardless of the random enchantment I believe. the tier helm, I'me doing random rolls for the 4 of us: Sardaukkar: 60 Skywatcher: 70 Kailand: 35 Uglutz: 90 Grats Uglutz! Just wanted to add, on tuesday we are going to decide which people want shoulder tokens and helm tokens, as well as who will get them first, just in case we get this situation again. Tuesday we will do BoT-chogal. if we get him down, and there is a decent amount of time left, we will do throne of the four winds. Thursday we will continue on chogal (if we didn't get him down, if we did, BWD, including the big guy at teh end, so do some research) Edited May 6, 2011 by Kailand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calendar Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just a heads up, I have an errand to run tonight so I might show up at the last minute or a few minutes late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascoli Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 As usual, here are some notes about a possible strategy for Nef p3 (for those who are interested): Here's a start for p3 which seems to work very well. There's a threat with details on TankSpot. Instead of tanking Nef on the side, we tank her in the middle and slowly rotate her around while the add tank goes in circles around the edge of the room. Here's a pic of what it looks like: The fire always falls where the adds were and follows the closest person (which should be the OT). Using this strat all the DPS has to worry about is slowly turning with the boss, and the add tank doesn't have to worry about trying to kite around flames without the adds walking in them (which is fairly hard to do). I found a and it looks like this could be executed pretty much indefinitely (assuming I don't mess up the kiting).Anyway, just something to consider.

Calendar Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I support this strategy. Add kiting in P3 is where the difficulty is at. It will be important for us to strategically place them in P1 so that they rise in the right spot for P3. The image is most likely for 25man as I think we could make do with a single healer on the OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hmm. Who was the off tank (ascoli) healer during phase 3? I was hanging out with DPS, switching between Holyssa heals and raid heals. Zuworty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calendar Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hmm. Who was the off tank (ascoli) healer during phase 3? I was hanging out with DPS, switching between Holyssa heals and raid heals. Zuworty? The first time we got to P3 I tried healing him as best I could without moving. However we ran out of room to kite the mobs. The second attempt I dedicated myself to healing him and just did the best I could for the raid. It's going to be a tricky balance because at the start of P3 he doesn't need a lot of heals but as the fight goes on it's starts getting difficult. The range and movement issues are terrible. I think we have two options here: A) Have Uglutz or I heal Ascoli: - Reduces overall raid healing (meaning Kadi would need to pick up some group heals) B) Have Kadi heal Ascoli: - Reduces MT heals (meaning Ugz and I would need to pick up MT heals) - Kadi would need to learn how to move and heal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailand Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Ok, we will try heroic halfus, make sure you read up on it before the raid. Ok, the plan for halfus, we will go with 3 tanks: Holyssa, Ascoli and Orcala. We will have 2 of the tanks swap between tanking Halfus and tanking the Slate Dragon. The other tank will start off tanking the time warden AND the Nether scion. DPS will nuke down the time warden first, and once the time warden is dead, the whelps will be freed. The DPS will nuke down the Nether Scion. when the nether scion is dead, storm rider will be freed, we will stack the drakes ontop of halfus, AOE the crap out of them until the whelps are dead, and then focus on halfus. if one of the other dragons happen to be low we will kill it, otherwise we will leave 2 alive and being tanked, and just nuke halfus, with the tanks swapping halfus according to the MS debuff. Depending what our timing is like, we may kill the other two dragons, as the DPS boost is huge for kill all five dragons (500%).

Martok Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Healing for Nef. Kadi should stick to standing still and spam healing the tank. Zu, either you or me will have to pick Ascoli. I'll go ahead and volunteer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
