question on the last boss, partying with a rogue, mage, 2 priest(mostly). and me(prot spec warrior). we got wipe n times and the rogue claiminn that i don do enough dps on the boss. as the rogue will need to take out the mobs and the mage is helping me on the dealing damage on the boss and 2 priest on healing.

well i just wanna ask how could i generate more dps?? i m using a mace(63.5 dps 2.6 sec) and i don change stance around when fighting boss. i just throw sunder amor and devestate, and sheild slam... should i change my gear to those +crit and +att power and lower my hp and amor?? or should i change to fury or arm stance when i was fighting boss?

well thanks a lot after all day of hardwork and when i m return to see my thread there's full of replies... well mostly what you all said is quite through... the mace is lame, also my party members. smile.gif i don have much of a choice of getting party as we are guildies... haha.. the mage is sux at kiting and he only want to focus on the boss and complains that he cannot take hits from the mobs if he attacks... the rogue don have crowd control so it will be a problem when too many mob coming in and the 2 priest are HOLY Specs.. haha... i don have much choice of choosing ppl as i m stayin in the low pop us server and hardly to find ppl running instance when we play...
wanna get a better weapon but mostly i was call up to run instances and less questing... so hard to get a good 1h weapons...

ok first of all the rogue prolly suck, asking a prot tank for more dps is plain dumb, he should be asking for more threat to unleash more dps instead.

for you, a few tip:

when the boss is blade dancing, STAND STILL. hold ur right mouse button to turn and FACE him wherever he is, to reduce the dmg he do to you from blade dancing. once he is done, immediately TAUNT as he does reduce ur aggro by a certain ammount, this is to ensure no aggro loss will happen while boss is blade dancing and say ranged dps class such as mage or healer healing getting aggro. after taunt to put you on to SECOND place of the aggro list, IMMEDIATELY shield slam. of course hopefully by now after first blade dance you have 5 sunders stacked, if not, always remember to get 5 sunders up ASAP and maintain it via devastate, but shield slam is still your most important aggro generation skill, so use it EVERYTIME its cooled, if low rage, save rage for shield slam priority. if got spare rage, just spam ur devastate and if you got more spare rage, toss in hs's (this is only when ur having excess rage because it negates ur normal swing to generate rage)

also dont forget to maintain battleshout 100% as it boosts ur aggro, dmg, and rogue/hunter etc's dmg. by any chance ur rogue or any other melee class or urself going low hp, commanding shout.

to summarize:
sunder armor 5 stacked up asap, and maintained 100%
battleshout maintained 100% (commanding if low hp)
during blade dance, stand still and face ur warrior to the boss to mitigate his blade dancing dmg
after boss blade dance, TAUNT THEN shield slam

for the ranged dps such as mage/hunter:
cc if possible, and focus more dps on boss

rogue:
if possible, let the ranged dps or other classes to handle adds while he 100% non stop focus boss. due to the nature of CP generation, if the rogue have to switch target constantly, his dps will be limited and its not desirable if what you're lacking is dps.

to everyone excluding you:
SPREAD OUT

WHEN BLADE DANCE OCCURS, DO NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR WITH YOUR TEAMMATES, PETS COUNTED, HAVE THE PETS POSITIONED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Something I can add that hasnt been mentioned so far...

1. Adds come every 30 secs. Get a mage to CC one add while he dps. For your next run, try to replace a priest with another dps class, e.g. hunter (ice), lock (CC / Fear), which can assist in CC while dpsing. Warrior can fear if needed.

2. Rogue MIGHT have a point IF this is all you're doing "i just throw sunder amor and devestate, and sheild slam". Where's the heroic strike? smile.gif

hmm i never think of Heroic strike when i m in def mode... it is too slow and i prefer devestate... well maybe i'll put it back to my defence stance action bar

yay... we manage to pawn the last boss down easily after the mage and mob on the adds and me and rogue on boss... and we all dps on the boss when he down to 40% of his health...
