morrowgar
gunship
festergut
rotface

those are the easiest 4

next is Healing dragon, blood princes and blood queen

Lady Death, Deathbringer, prof and sind are the hardest 4

with 30% it might be different but that's how they lined up at one point

Ran sunwell last night for shits and since my Shammy never saw the last boss in tbc.

Looks like Operation Gnomeregan (and horde equivalent) is live on US servers (EU tomorrow). Get those feats of strength achieves while you can!

Heh, my guild still doesn't have Festergut even though we have Saurfang and Blood Queen. I don't know why some people have so much trouble with raid awareness.

Holy shit that Troll event was badass. There were at least 200 people there and the boss went down in like 10seconds, not even.

+1 Blizzard

 

[blurredvision]

Yeah, same here with the amount of people, on alliance side. I got there right after the king had already taken off, so I had to wait like 15 minutes for it to restart, and about 100 people showed up by the time it was ready to begin. Then it bugged after the first part because people went too far ahead (somebody said it bugs if anybody goes into gnomeregan before the king), so we waited 10 minutes for it to reset, and then we were looking at a ton of people.

I'd be willing to bet there were 200-300 there. I marked the king with a star and just follwed him. I have no idea what was even going on or what we were supposed to be doing. There were too many people.

How long are these supposed to be live? Another month or two at least until the pre-cata patch? Or just for the next week or two like a short holiday event?

I've not seen any word on how long it is supposed to last.

 

[lupi]

wonder how long it will last.

on the good news front finally got around to starting to sort my chars back to normal and found that the equipped items that were sold and returned came back fully gemmed/chanted

So I took all of the advice you guys gave last week about H-Saurfang and put it into action last night. We were able to get him down on the 3rd try . I rearranged our raid layout a bit so that I could let our usual disc priest move over to her warlock and brought in a pretty damn good holy paladin to replace her. I switched to shadow and two-healed it with the paladin and a tree.

On one beast, it was me, a destro lock, and our bear tank rooting it. On the other was a mage, a demo lock, and the DK tank throwing a few chains on it. We also had a shaman in the middle ready with a knockback if needed and our warrior dps was ready to hamstring if needed. Needless to say, we had it pretty covered. I know that on my side, with the bear throwing 2 or 3 roots on it initially allowed me to get all 3 of my DoTs on it and start mind flay to slow it down. I also shared the recommendation of having a tank taunt back if it got too close to the range, which was only needed a couple of times, but was an awesome tactic. Thanks guys.

My guild is now 6/12H on 10-man. We actually did the first 6 last night and never even turned off hard mode. I feel like we're doing awesome, but I'm worried that I have a false sense of security with my group because of the 30% buff. We'll move into Cata and get our ass handed to us.

what a fcking dickhead

Did the Echo isles event on 2 chars last night, never had to deal with anything like that.... thank god.

Grats on 6/12!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:


And yah - My guild had a similar sense of security at a similar point: Then we decided to work Halion 25 on Heroic... :\





...we don't have that problem any more!! D::whiste: <LMAO>

 

[rivan]

I raided last night for the first time in about 4 months. My guild's expanded quite a bit, picking up the best from the wreckage of another server-top guild that imploded.

They've turned totally pro while I've been away. We did 7/12H 25-man last night in about 3 hours, with me and a couple other irregulars dragging them down. I was sometimes not in the top 10 DPS, when I was previously consistently top 3. They're 10/12H on 25; when I started my hiatus we were just starting hard modes (3/12, I think)

Granted I'm a little rusty, but it sure is nice to be carried a little rather than doing the carrying.

My GM won't do Halion - he hates the time vs reward for the place. I haven't been, but I hear it's a challenge.

Yea halion is pita. We had a warrior tank him in the shadow realm and he would randomly get gibbed. Switched to a DK tank and its much smoother now.

 

[Moonzi]

Yeah any advice with Halion 25H would be appreciated!

We've basically come to the point now where we'll clear 11/12 HM on Tuesday and start working on Halion and LK HM's on Thursday. So this should be the time where people quit till Cataclysm

 

[Anubis]

Halion isn't that hard, just don't stand it shit. don't get hit by lasers (cutters) and MOVE the fuck away when the boss mod tells you to.

It's a bitch to heal though.

 

[Moonzi]

I'm more worried about the adds and extra two cutters, but that seems to be all that's really different, oh and the shadow and fire now show up in both realms (oir has this been changed)

As long as you're executing things properly, the 30% buff isn't exactly necessary.

If you want a good test, see how long it takes you to beat Putricide on heroic. Putricide isn't as hard as Sindragosa or Lich King, but still requires far higher levels of communication when dealing with the plague and passing it to people that aren't debuffed.

Had a lot of problems with H-Princes last night. Our main issue was mis-management of the kinetic bombs, so we definitely need to get better than that, but our Keleseth warlock tank seemed to be having problems grabbing enough orbs to keep from getting one shot at certain points. He claims to have had 3 orbs at one point when he went from 100&#37; to 0% in the blink of an eye. But there were many other times where he lasted quite a while, so I don't know what was happening. That movement debuff is a pain though, but we were managing it well. The best thing about it is that it makes people insanely aware of where they are, because they know they shouldn't be moving lest they kill themselves.

Our best attempt lasted 8 minutes, but we were down a couple of dps and only had them to around 40% before bombs starting hitting the floor and killing us.

It was getting late, so I switched it to normal and headed off to H-BQ. We got her down on the second try, literally killing her the exact moment she enraged. She emoted and died within a second of each. Tried H-Val once but had a player d/c before the second pull and he never came back, so we just 9-manned it on normal.

Any tips on princes or valithria?

That might explain part of his hated - he's a warrior tank. Shrug.

Nothing's ever hard for you or your guildies. Not everyone has the luxury/opportunity/good fortune/whatever to have a guild with 24 other people who are that good at the game.

From what I've seen, it's a lot easier to do your job when everyone else is doing theirs. It's usually when you have to pick up someone else's slack that shit can really start to fall to bits.

 

[Molondo]

Honestly tell him to try a dk tank in the sahdow realm. We figured the reason the tank was getting gibbed (me) is because he parries so much. I pretty much swing something at him every half a second and if he lands a parry right after or during a breath its a high chance 60k HP right there(keep in mind i was almost hard exp capped, 52). At least that is my perception. Dks are just better at it as deseases and rune strike can't get parried -_-

 

[wheresmybacon]

Whose guild has killed Hard Mode 25-man LK? Despite having approximately 50&#37; of our &#8220;normal&#8221; raiding force, we trudge on. Our best attempt is I think around 40%. It&#8217;s horrible. We&#8217;ve had lots of people main-switch and have recruited many more in attempts to shore up our raiding ranks, but I&#8217;m seriously miserable right now. The new people continually fuck up, stepping in shadow traps or doing something else incredibly stupid. I&#8217;m beginning to think this is mental for some people; or it could be that they&#8217;re just in over their heads in terms of skill (or lack thereof).

As a DPS DK who&#8217;s been at this fight for months, I don&#8217;t have any trouble with my role, but it&#8217;s kind of like riding a motorcycle on the street &#8211; it&#8217;s generally not yourself that&#8217;s going to kill you, it&#8217;s the other idiots.

Anyone else still trying HM LK 25? We also don&#8217;t have HM RS 25 done yet&#8230;I&#8217;d much rather be doing that than pounding our collective heads into the wall.

I emailed that yesterday afternoon for no other reason than being bored. That's the only one I've ever emailed, so I'm batting 100&#37;.
