Looking for some answers so thought I'd post here to check. smile.gif

For Attumen the Huntsman, there seems to be 2 strategy on most sites. Which one would be the easiest to follow if wearing non-heroic gear?

1. When Midnight is 30%, DPS Attumen. Longer tanking on Midnite but when he mounts up, his health is lower so cleaving is less.

2. Just DPS Midnite only. Attumen is tank to one side. However, longer session to take down Attumen so cleaving will happen more often.

Also, for the AOE curse that Attumen casts, does he cast it while mounted or only when he's standing?

We also do the 2nd strat - focusing on Midnight then Attunmen.

Additional tips that can help...

1. Attunmen can be disarmed, greatly reducing his damage. In our guild's case, our MT is a feral druid and OT is prot warr. So our OT actually tanks Attunmen.

2. Cleaves are now frontal only, so rogues got some love there.

3. Aoe curses shouldnt be an issue if your raid's mages are alert.


Added on April 17, 2007, 8:16 ambtw, we use wowwiki.com for the boss strats, its quite good - you might wanna check it out (or get your Raid Leader to check it out).

saingau : Thx for the tip. Actually, with Wowwiki.com, it speaks about strat #1 as well as strat #2 so that's the bit that got confusing. Coupled with the fact that in WoW Raids and Dungeons forum, a lot of posts were suggesting to use strat #1. From what I gathered from the raid leaders anyway. But looking at youtube movies on the fight, most ppl use strat#2 instead.

Anyway, it was our first run last nite (with no priests either ><) and we got him down to about 5% when we wiped. The fight was taking too long on strat #1 so healers and mages (12K-13K mana) OOM very fast.

Yeah, true although it's massive forum digging. Their Raid content section looks like it's for loot tables only. I haven't been there in awhile because I got tired of reading up info that was outdated (i.e. BC beta).

For a first run I think thats good. Strats-wise, I'd suggest you guys try out which one works best, and stick to it. Like in our case, we find that we function better by focusing on one target, then move on. Just remind the tank (if he's warr) to disarm the joker when he/she can - you'll know he's disarmed when he does a yell along the lines of "weapons are of no use to me" or something.

Btw, I hope you like Moroes, his voice is funny, bordering on annoying smile.gif

xiaosin : went oom because DPS too spread out I think when we switch targets. also, think it was from healing other raid members other than the tank who were taking damage. It wasn't the random charge but something else, some were just an AOE damage? in WoWwiki.com, it's mentioned that Midnite will sometimes bucked.

although, can't wait for the patch to come out now. Pots and flasks are starting to look cheaper and I do mean seriously damn cheap. http://worldofraids.free.fr/2.1.0/BT/potions-vendor.jpg

hopefully, there's no limit of the amount of potions and pots that one can buy. although the Sarge's Bullet is hilarious : more pew pew, less QQ.

Thanks saingau. Yeah, it's just taking a bit of getting used to. Hmm....say to disarm him while he mounted, can any other warrior do it too if they are not holding aggro? Silly question I know. >< Not familiar with warrior moves.

Yeap, any warrior can disarm him. If that warr has some talents in imp disarm (prot tree), the duration of disarm is longer.

Btw, bout your last posting (above quote), the only thing I can think of is the shadow cleave.

1. Are the range players standing too close?
2. Are the melee standing behind (so they dont get cleaved)?

These Qs might help.

SPLOITS WITH FLASKS KEKEKEKEKKEKE

seriously though, melees WILL take shadow cleaves even when ur on his ass (coming from a rogue kek, we do et from behind)

its just shadow cleave, have the rogues to evasion/clos

can reduce 1-2 of those dmg, or anticipate when its coming, sprint out sprint back. or just have them bandage self. lotsa options in your hands.

if you cleared up to chess after curator it's advisable to just do a few attempts at prince. once respawn sets in just do aran if you want. aran is harder than prince btw.

tips for aran:

know what to do for each of his abilities.
flame wreathe = don't move
arcane explosion = run out asap
blizzard = look where he does a single frostbolt before his blizzard and run to the opposite side and then follow on the edge of the blizzard.

other than that kick/pummel his frostbolt and fireball. do not interrupt his arcane missiles or he would run around and that could screw up healers etc if he gets near and gets silenced.

healers need to heal people who are getting arcane missiles fast coz its the main source of death, just assist aran whenever he starts casting it.

at 40% he will summon 4 water elemental adds. banish/fear them and keep dps'ing aran. if aran's mana gets low he will aoe sheep and pyro for 7.5k. just heal up afterwards and go on as usual

My casual guild is a bit undergeared and me being the world's most unlucky and undergeared main tank. However we managed to take down the prince before taking down aran.

You definitely need to be quicker in taking down the trash mobs linked to Aran and before the Prince although admittedly i tend to pull quickly, as long as healers have mana (doesn't have to be full) - I'm on the next pull already.

I've always hated the LOS wall bug as it's too luck dependant. Infernal between caster group and tank? GG. We only learned to do the encounter properly recently by using the whole area to kill him. It's a bit like the last boss in AQ20 where the dps has to move and the tank has to move to a better spot.

Also, greater stoneshield pots are your tank's best friend if you're undergeared.

Edit: They're changing the encounter so that the doors close when you engage the prince in the next patch so you'll have to learn to do it properly.

clearing to prince sucks, but at least try him whenever you cleared up to chess since it is only 3 pulls to prince so don't miss the chance to have a few attempts.

For healers having trouble with Aran, use the Focus Macro. Makes life much much much esier.

eg..once u see aran start to channel his AM, your healers just spam the focus macro. Im MH for the raid, and i find Aran less stressful then Curator/opera

TBC has a new function called focus. This allows you to set a particular target (hostile or non-hostile) to be your "focus", allowing you to reference back to your focus at any time.

For example, if i set Aran as my focus, i can use macros like /target focus, and it will automatically target Aran.

Certain UI frame addons (like x-perl) will also show display a separate unit frame for your focus target, allowing u to monitor the focus' health, mana and spellcast bar.

Simple tutorial on using focus
-----------------
Setting your focus

Press Escape. Under Key Bindings -> targetting functions, you will find two options near the bottom of the section. They are "focus target" and "target focus".

Bind a key to "focus target". From now on, anytime u choose a target and press the key, that target becomes your focus

----------------
Using your focus

I hope you know how to create a macro....

Let's say I want to heal my focus target, who happens to be the MT.
First, i must set the MT as my focus.
Then i create the following macro:
/target focus
/cast Greater Heal(Rank 8)



If I want to heal my focus' target (e.g. Aran is my focus and he's blasting Eliv with arcane missiles)
First, I set Aran as my focus
Then macro:
/target focustarget
/cast Flash Heal

------------
Where is this useful?

Bosses which randomly target ppl that require quick healer reaction (Aran, Dorothee, Julianne, BBW)
Fights where you are targetting someone but need to keep constant cc on another mob (Moroes shackle, succubus seduce, polymorph)

Moroes :

1. How long are your typical fights guys?

2. If the garrote get onto a player that doesn't have stoneform, pally's bubble, mage iceblock or pally cannot cast bubble, how then? Looks like massive healing. I heard some groups just let the wipe happen when the non-plate healers gets it and that they rather run back to try again. Does Ironshield help in this situation or will it always be 1K damage ever 3 sec?

1. 5-7 minutes i think

2. garrote is a dot that ignores armor so it doesnt matter if you're cloth or plate. we usually tell the people get garroted stand near the mt and hope that moreos will re-garrote them again. and tell your tanks to spam demo shout it will force moroes to come out

moroes vanish is not affected by demo shout or any aoes, he will only be out once the garrote lands.

the same goes for renataki from ZG.

Quaza is right on this - only appears after garotte.

However we have been lucky before where the garotte doesnt land on the person.... so its like a free round! smile.gif

Anyone experienced that before?

u can break his vanish wif demo shout otherwise i cant find any other explanation for it. In spamming demo shout practically every moroes fight, half those vanishes ended wif no garrotes. If its not the demo shout breaking it then i have no idea what is.

Tips for Garrotes

1. Paladin Blessing of protection will remove it. Save it for healers
2. dun bother healing locks with garote, get them to drain life
3. SS a player with garrote...get him to use up all his mana/rage then die and resurrect at 50% hp/mana

When we were first learning the Moroes fight, we once killed him with 6 garotes up...massive healing needed...i used 4 major mana pots and every single on of my cooldowns 3-4 times

garrote can miss and there are times he just prolly dont feel like it? could also result from say a hunter fd, and he was targeting the hunter.

it is pretty much confirmed from nearly all strat guides that his vanish will not be broken

when going in to meet moroes, do you reckon that having 3 healer spec classes is an overkill i.e. DPS will drop substantially?

3 healers is pretty much what you need for all the encounters in kara. dps shouldn't be gimped with 3 healers. standard grouping for all the encounters should be MT,OT, 3 healers and the rest DPS.

thanks wikzs. most guides online are talking about 2 healers max.

with moroes, we had him at about 50% but it was rough going becoz ran out of mana from healing. plus, the hard hits which is nothing unusual.

try to burn cooldowns at the start so that the adds die faster. the mana consumption for moroes is heavy at first coz of the 4 adds then it gets slow once adds are down and handled. it gets heavy again after awhile coz people needs to be healed from garrote damage

3 full healers is overdoing it abit. 2 healers + 1 hybrid is best. 3 healers means less stress for your healers, but the boss fights tend to be longer cos u only have 5 dps, then u run into oom problems

the combo that works best for my guild

1MT
1 hybrid (OT/healer)- Druid or pally
1 hybrid (healer/dps) - shadow priest
2 healer
5 DPS

For moroes, 2 healers is fine, then u can burn him down fast. If your 2 healer is a priest and paladin, even better...priest shackle 1 add, paladin fear/OT another

challenge for us is how to make sure we can bring our resto druids in. it looks like :

1 holy pally (main healing)
1 resto druid (main healing)
1 shadow priest (hybrid)

with holy priest, then druid is the hybrid of either feral or balance?

Blessing or protection (if you have pallies) or heal through it. Ppl should be prepared to pot, do watever it takes to stay alive... smile.gif

for our guild we have zero shadow priests, dps was never a concern for our guild (at least at the moment) thus the mana battery ultility from a shadow priest, and their dps is not needed. healing power on the other hand is what we actually need as our best healer is a shaman and after all, he is a shaman. they just cant heal as effecient as pallies or having the vast healing powers of a holy priest. but still we're doing pretty decent.

Moroes fight :

How to make sure the shackle doesn't break from mobs inherent resistance? No one is hitting it but the shackle from our Holy Priest has a tendency to break. She's shackling the warrior where he usually shield bashes the priest. Ending up with a longer time to whack for him to finish bashing her. Sigh.

longer shackle / MC depends on their hit rating.

i reshackle every 5 -8 sec. nvr break if u're shacking the 'priest' .. basically mending @ warr renew shackle flash heal..yada yada..

nvr break n nvr stop reshackle.. the wipe nvr cause by garrote but the shackle.

praying hard helps, what you could do though to help reduce the risk from priest dying etc, is shackling every 5-10 sec, and if resist/early breaks, have a mage in between the priest and shackle guy to frost nova, to buy time for priest.

make sure your priests have thier shackle target set as thier "Focus" and ensure they reshackle every 5-8 second

also, sometimes its not them breaking, but another add dispeling the shackle

get all casters/healers to stand togther, have hunter set ice trap infront of that group...so if a ad breaks free..hits the trap. Get mage to stand in front and be on the ball...add breaks free....quickly frost nova and the whole caster group moves back, hunter resets trap in front of mob

another way...get the pally to fear the add..when it breaks free..will go back to pally...got plate so can tank him a while and refear

good post!

and as said above, the add dispeling (cleansing) is the holy paladin... lady something. she will be wearing in cloth, but make no mistake, its a pally. and she will also occassionaly greater blessing everyone, so make sure you dispel/purge/spellsteal etc on all 4 adds/moroes. (she does it the moment the fight starts too)

Thanks guys. Hmm... we had no pallies, 1 hunter, 1 holy priest, 1 shadow priest. So looks like have to stand near the hunter where the 2nd ice-trap will be.

We had both the holy pally, holy priest and ret pally. Plus one of the warriors.

We cleared all 4 adds twice. It was the garrote that got us in the end. 1/2 of us were new to the fight. The other half had down him down to 4K HP but there was a pally present as well as holy priest + shadow priest + hunter (loads of CC). Last nite's run, the lowest we got Moroes down to was 40% HP.

That's your problem right there. You don't need to kill all 4 adds. If you only take down 2 adds and keep the remaining 2 adds shackled, that's more than enough dps for the last 40%.

clarify a little on ur post, to my understanding, if you kill all 4 add, ur most likely to wipe from intense garrote healing (even BOP cant help you much as you'll only bop 1-2 times max per moroes fight)

jwrx : spot on on 10 people working together. we do notice it does take awhile for the members to get used to doing 10-man.

kidi : ah. then i'm assuming that the last 2 adds that are to be kept shackled at all times would be at least one warrior and one more whoever it is that is left there (presumably the holy priest or holy pally)? with the adds spawn, is it possible to get 2 priest + 2 pally or is it a mix of priest + pally + warrior combo at all times?

qua : yep. guess so. sad.gif but no pally with us that night (he log on late). unless i put out my max regrowth, that may help a bit. but only for a short while.

xiao : only dwarf was the OT. sad.gif and he almost never got garroted.

gladys : wanna share your fight strategies or fight scenarios? tongue.gif Think the guys also cannot help you if you don't describe how the fight goes on.

It's totally random and any combo is possible.

Regarding garrotes - lots of things can happen as to who gets it. Pallies can divine shield and blessing of protection (save it for your healers). If the tank gets it - np he's being healed anyway. Mages can iceblock. If a caster is low on mana, might be a good idea to just let him die and combat res/use soulstone. It's yet another dps race because you only get so many tries before he garrotes the whole raid. That's why it's important to shift focus from the adds asap.

priest to shackle + heal.

no big different , anyhow also a CC n a healer there.


unless u gonna tell me no healer hunter trap n bandage pot . i'll lolololol till forgot the pain of aran wiped.

mimi.. im not as good as others here,but from my understanding, it's a hard time ur raid givng to the holy priest, bcoz shackle needed to reshack every 5-8 sec n he need to heal as well as the shadow priest. unless u're damm geared or damm rich. either way to works.. icon_rolleyes.gif

mimi.. im not as good as others here,but from my understanding, it's a hard time ur raid givng to the holy priest, bcoz shackle needed to reshack every 5-8 sec n he need to heal as well as the shadow priest.  unless u're damm geared or damm rich. either way to works..   icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah, the repair bills are pricey, i'd think. but sometimes, feel so geram when we can't even do much. like with attumen, still need to go a few times before downing him. bleargh.

if u wipe at attumen its normally 2 reasons only

1- Dps need to l2p and not aggro

2- MT needs to thundeclap and pull attumen immidiatly when he spawns

cos besides that...healers just need to spam on OT/MT, Dps just needs to nuke attumen...no moving around...no debuffs....no poisons...no aoe

Reason 2. Even when we swap MT/OT roles, they seem to have problems picking up Attumen. OT is on the horse. MT is in front of the casters to pick up Attumen.

Does Attumen spawn next to the horse or near the wagon?

MT1 tried to pick up Attumen when he spawned with thunderclasp but couldn't seem to. We switched to misdirect Attumen to him and it was better. Then found out that Sunder Armor doesn't work well so had to switch to Shield Bash / Slam.

Another time was phase 2. 2 tanks had problems picking up Attumen when he mounted up. After mounting up, someone gets charged until the warrior can pick him up. We put Misdirect and stood in front of the casters.

It only happened at these 2 occasions. Any other occasion, the tanks can hold aggro.

The problem is with the tanks. They are just not picking up fast enough. Some tips here...

1. Attunmen spawns next to the horse on the left (assuming you are tanking horse where it is)
2. He spawns when horse is 95%.
3. Since tank's TC failed... remind him he has demo shout to draw agro.
4. Phase 2... get MT to position where horse/attunmen mounts up, OT inbetween the raid and attunmen.

That should work. Good luck

also...pls make sure your tanks

are not:
- Turning with A and D keys...i have seen tanks do this...its OMGFPL2P
- using mouse clicks to activate skills/actions

are:
binding all thier skills to keys like f,g,z,x,c,1,2,3,4


If u still having problems....get a paladin to OT....paladins are great OT in kara because of Consecrate

And if your tanks cant handle attumen....u will never get pass the Opera trash.... 2 pairs of skeletal Ushers, Ushers are a true test of wether your tanks are capable of doing Kara

Atumen = Gear check
Moroes = dps check
Maiden = healer check
Usher = tank check
curator = endurance check
Aran = Stupidity check(if u have dumb raiders...u dun pass Aran)

Kara is unlike any lvl 60 raid...last time...u can afford to be nice...player X not very good..but nvm...he my good friend...we take him along for MC...player Y is a sucky healer ..but who cares...we got 15 other priest in the MC raid

in kara....even 1 idiot....will wipe your raid...cant be nice anymore..either u L2P....or u dun come kara....

when my guild first started kara..i still try to be nice and include everyone...but after freaking 8 wipes in a row on moroes due to lack of dps/healing...we got tough..only dedicated players who put in the time and effort...got to raid kara....now, in 1 nite we can get to Aran

my raid requirements

dps class
burst dps (5sec) 650+dps
sustained dps (5min) 600+dps

healer
min 1000+ heal
7k hp/7kmp for cloth healer
9k hp/ 9k mp for plate healer

when everyone meets the requitement..it makes the kara run SOOOO much esier

mmm very good checklist biggrin.gif

oh oh and i pass ur dps checklist too...

~800-1.2k burst...
700-900 sustained of over 5min
\o/

our tanks getting love too for tonight... bout damn time >.>
so many raids and zero tanking gear

=edit=
oh yea, i should perhaps copy down ur post and nazi reign my raid harder too... cuz running kara with prot pallies and shit makes me wanna gouge my eyes off and squish it in front of my monitor...

gonna really require people to spec like real raiders instead of play like some buncha clowns.

myremi: tip on grabbing attument early. tc as everyone mentioned at first, then have the tank to spam his shieldslam button AND HS button as he is moving to attument (if he still didnt have aggro), once either one of it lands, it should be on the tank.

also tank midnight as further back to the stables wall as possible, so it gives your raid more time for attumen incase the tank still isnt on the ball on grabbing it.

If i may disagree, curator is definitely a dps check fight and not endurance.

Aran, Prince, Netherspite and Nightbane are all fights that require good team communication. Sorta like teach u to coordinate n communicate properly to get u rdy for 25mans.

Skeleton ushers are actually very easy to deal with. Both tanks have to ensure that they're 1st on the aggro list for the main target, and 2nd on the aggro list for their secondary target which can be accomplished by tab targetting to sunder etc. Otherwise a healer will get it when one of the tanks is frozen. Just make sure that no one starts dps until the tanks have been frozen once. Cleaving and thunderclapping alone won't ensure that the ushers stay on you.

Just sharing my experiences I guess.

... it's not that fun tbh. When the connection is good i can easily do my job with a yellow bar. It's just that the connection has been nightmarish after 1am for me last few weeks. But what to do when you're needed by the guild?

It helps that you know what to do at each encounter and it certainly helps that my guildies understand my situation and trust me to lead the group, make the pulls and tank. Still, going through the trauma of disconnecting at around 15% on curator and relogging at 5% to still find him there is not an experience i would like to wish on anyone.

of course you can disagree smile.gif this is my opinion mar...anyway...for healers its a endurance fight, cos normally its about a 8-9 min fight....which means even a holy pally will be running low on mana....mana conservation is key.

but i agree dps is important...curator is a burst dps check...cant get addds down fast enuff...too much dmg on raid=healers oom= wipe

with good tanks its a piece of cake, we run tru new recruits on ushers....a good player will get it after 1-2 wipes, maybe losing some healers along the way. a bad player...after 4-5wipes....still cannot get it one....thats when we kick

anyway, we paladins now, much esier, just holy wrath and consecrate...no issue of losing aggro

remi,

btw...its just a guide.....cos certain classes like afflic lock...will have lower burst..but much higher sustained....so cant use it as a unmovable target. but it lets your raiders know where they stand....and what they should be aiming for.

but 6.8- 7k hp is about the minimum for any class, otherwise u get 1-shotted in later fights

alot of players dun understand that you dont GEAR UP in Kara....u must be geared up BEFORE u enter kara. Get all your hear in heroics and quest b4 entering.

while i fully agree with jwrx, it isnt really has to be that extreme to be fully decked out in heroics/5man dungeon sets etc etc.

but of course, the more the better, it will only help and reduces the difficulty on the encounters.

for kara entry, id say +1k heal with ~9-10k mana pool for priests or 1.1-1.2k +heal and 9-11k mana for druids depending on specs. (tree = more heals, feral heart hybrids = more mana pool)

Honestly, I usually sit out until I get the healing and the gear. Just filling in the spots when healer is not around. I can tell you I'm also devious. Sometimes there is no arguing with people so I'd rather they go into Kara and get wiped. It helps to take down their confidence a bit so that they become more focus on gameplay.

The other thing is that we have an unusual mix of people who have raide before and who haven't. Also, the team composition changes a fair bit so it does take awhile. Then again we don't raid every night and only do 3 out of 7 days so the wipes are expected.

But yeah, I agree with you on your observation. Some folks are in denial that they're gear is already good enough for Kara and then say they only wanna do Heroics with certain guildies. Sigh. It's hard to tell them that one doesn't get better by hitting the limit. It's more of knowing that you're never going to get better until you chase for it.

for kara entry, id say +1k heal with ~9-10k mana pool for priests or 1.1-1.2k +heal and 9-11k mana for druids depending on specs. (tree = more heals, feral heart hybrids = more mana pool)
*
yep. the funny thing about druids is that they have one of the lower stamina gear available to them out of all the healers methinks.

but the bigger problem would be the 3 raid nites raiding. doubt if kara would be that fast to learn.

Just because you're undergeared doesn't mean you can't hit above your weight. Ya you have to know what your limits are but also how far you can push them with the willingness to farm for consumables, buffs and enchants.

I was having a chat over teamspeak last night about the fact that some people were using cheap gems and enchants. An undergeared tank kills groups.. So just because I put in the effort to get the best enchants/gems doesn't mean everyone else doesn't have to. After nearly 2 months of Kz still no tier 2 for me sad.gif which means I still consider myself undergeared. It's still an effort so i'm buffed up to the hilt with pots etc. With the effort i've put in I really expect everyone else to do the same as well.

actually...yea, the other healers started kara with the stats that Qua posted, but I ended up shouldering most of the healing burden later on in kara, end of the day, the better geared u are, the esier the fights, my guild entred kara so geared that, most of us didnt get real upgrades till Curator onwards

3 nites of raiding is enough...my team raids 3 nites a week

1 st week - 1 nite on attumen, 2 nites on moroes
2 nd week - 1 nite on attumen, 1 nite moroes, 1 nite opera
3rd week - 1 nite attumen/morores, 2 nites opera
4th week - 1 nite attumen/moroes/opera, 2 nites curator

something like that lar...cant really remember....Aran ...took whole week to master.

team b, raids 4 nites a week, they already down prince, 1 boss ahead of my team

Honestly, I usually sit out until I get the healing and the gear. Just filling in the spots when healer is not around. I can tell you I'm also devious. Sometimes there is no arguing with people so I'd rather they go into Kara and get wiped. It helps to take down their confidence a bit so that they become more focus on gameplay.

The other thing is that we have an unusual mix of people who have raide before and who haven't. Also, the team composition changes a fair bit so it does take awhile. Then again we don't raid every night and only do 3 out of 7 days so the wipes are expected.

But yeah, I agree with you on your observation. Some folks are in denial that they're gear is already good enough for Kara and then say they only wanna do Heroics with certain guildies. Sigh. It's hard to tell them that one doesn't get better by hitting the limit. It's more of knowing that you're never going to get better until you chase for it.

nah druids actually more stam in their healing gear than say priest... but shaman/paladins especially paladins have more tongue.gif

most prolly due to the fact that shamans and paladins dont have their points distributed to spirit.

and we dont raid that hardcore either, we used to do kara 2 days per week (fri and sat)
but since atm we're getting more and more serious on kara, and there is the demand by the majority of raiders to raid more, AND that we are REALLY lagging behind the general raiders of our realm in terms of progression, (kara is pretty much the thing of the past as people are pushing SSC/The eye) we're finally pushing out 4 days per week raids from friday to monday, really makes a big difference in terms of progressing/learning encounters.

at the end of the day, its up to your guild/raid to see how much effort they want to put in (eg: how many days/week to raid, flasking up the entire raid/partial raid/certain people, potion buffing raid to the max, individual members self gearing from say heroics/5mans etc etc), and of course, the more is put in, the more/faster you get in return, only logical.

My guild is still pretty casual, although technically we only raid 3 days a week atm, 2 days on kara and 1 learnin day at gruul's, we still have surprise learning days... pain in the ass but you have to if you want any kind of progress.

QUOTE(tetsu @ Apr 30 2007, 12:42 PM)

I try to grab the attention of 2 of the adds at least, because they tend to like focus firing on my healers. The other 2 are banished/feared. I'm sure a lot of other people just fear them or something but i prefer to do it this way as less things tend to go wrong if their attention is focused on me. I'm still dual wielding in dps gear while tanking them though so i can go back to aran for some execute pew pew.

Which is what we used to do before when we couldn't kill aran. Like last night, somehow we weren't gelling together for the aran fight so we went straight to chess and prince. We came back to aran after killing prince so we wouldn't have to go back there tonight and got him down.

Then the officers got itchy and decided to go for nightbane+illhoof tonight.. no holiday for me cry.gif

Actually, I<3 my team mates, we're not nihilum but we have a good laugh on TS, and they don't slack. And they do focus so in all fairness can't say they're slacking, (it doesn't help that i chain pull though lol) . was just questioning some of thier enchants and gem choices.

and Tier 2>all kk? Wrath PWNS JOO!

And even if you're a proud prot warrior pleaselah on Aran don't put on a shield and try dps kk? Pew pew gear all the way. Sheild bash lol, pummel ftw!

well theres a lot of definition in what slacking could mean in WoW, it could be what you said, going cheap enchants/gems, for example smile.gif

and of course, casual guilds/raids (like mine, semi casual/hardcore) has its benefits, people tend to be more friendly with each other, bonds are much tighter, and of course with such, it will also result in less loot drama. (as a guild leader, its a huge bonus lol)

and farks t2 lol... sharkfin helm warriors lloololololololol I PITY JOO

heroic epics and kara epics, minimal blues. thats my opinion though, cant verify or be certain about this as we only have 10+ constant raiders, definately not enough to try out gruul's.

our raid 2 is starting up very soon, maybe in about 1-2 weeks time, just waiting for the 2nd team members to ding or gear up.

what you prolly didnt come to realize is that, consumables you have to keep taking it... while gear is permanent. and what about consumables AND good gear? wouldnt that make it much easier?

overrated? perhaps.

just a safety buffer more than a requirement? maybe.

but one thing's for sure, it doesnt hurt to be more well geared, and if anything, it greatly reduces the difficulty of any encounters.

what im saying is theres no point not attempting fights on the basis of being 'undergeared' because consumables will be able to make up for it

On a side note, for others, will Blizz ever allow Priest Shadow Protection buff and Pally Shadow Protection Aura to stack?

Question for you more experienced raiders out there:

How long does it normally take for you guys to clear kara, ie taking the compulsory bosses.. Attumen, Meroes, Maiden, Opera, Curator, Shade and Prince. I was pushing with chainpulling yesterday and we managed to reach prince in about 4.5 hours. What I want to know is, how much harder can I push my group so that I don't end up going to bed at 6am and feeling zombified for the rest of the day. I'm sure it can be done faster as it used to take us 2 days (just last week kekbur) to clear to Prince which didn't leave us much learning time to try for Netherspite, Nightbane and Ilhoof.

on a normal day
4 hours, if all goes well
that includes taking our time to slowly pull and not pushing it

but these days we usually clear upto curator and then go on to nightbane on the first day

we leave the chess and prince for the next day cos prince is the one with the loots most ppl want. and with that we usually set a rule that if nobody is willing to go and practise on the remaining bosses we wont goto prince. aran is not a sure down for us due to random factors and the fact that nobody wants to practise on the boss. we havent got our asses to even practise on netherspite yet. illhoof is another luck factor, if your tank gets sacced then its usually pretty tough on your party. then again i hardly raid these days, i dont really know what the guild is up to

4~5 hours full clear , prob about 45 mins or so less w/o the optional bosses
could be less if we didnt have to keep reshuffling grps to accomodate for the newer ppl
i read that forte and most other top guilds do full clears in 3 1/2 hrs

well you dont really need to kill attumen actually. or maiden. Basically if pple dont need stuff from them anymore u can do Moroes, Opera, curator, Prince. leaving nightbane + netherspite the next day. Illhoof is also optional once your feral druid gets the staff, pally gets the bp and resto druid gets the healing belt.

My guild starts with moroes, maiden, curator, aran on one day and the next day it's chess, prince, nightbane. We skip netherspite altogether because it's a pita. :S we plan to skip maiden soon and aran once i get my shoulders~

Typically we start at 8.45-9pm and end at 12.30am. I think as a whole it's best to learn new encounters at the beginning of the raid, so if lets say we reach a new boss at the end of the raid we'll just go in and wipe to see how the boss is like. Always better to attempt seriously when everyone's fresh~

yeap, imo aran is only important for the nightbane summoning thingy
if you got that done i dont really see much of a point to go back in there and fight him. illhoof is only about the staff, im playing a pally and i cbf to get the plate from him. my ideal run would be attumen, moroes, opera, curator, chess, prince, bed . save nightbane for another day for the ppl who needs to attune to ssc.

By full clear do you include Netherspite, Nightbane and Ilhoof Heemee?

We had 2 wipes on bosses ie R&J and Aran and 2-3 wipes/near wipes due to me overpulling. So I know we can improve our time by reducing our mortality rate.

My worry about clearing to Prince was that people wouldn't be motivated to try out the 3 bosses above once we've cleared the instance to Prince.

Well, we're not an epixxed out guild yet so we're not disenchanting everything in Karazhan just yet. So every boss has something that everyone needs.

Taking down Aran is good for the portal to his library that's why I prefer taking him down :/

yeap but if your group can do prince easily then its just the extra mile to prince and you are calling off the group for kara. but if you want to try netherspite and illhoof, then again it's a good choice. but i really dont like the aran fight due to its randomness, just the other day we wiped on hunter snakes activating flame wreath. and pally bubble/rogue clos still isn't fixed yet.

Prince is not exactly farm for us, we try to do him the proper way using the whole playing area and sometimes the randomness of the infernals just pwns us especially at the last 30%. If you use the whole field rather than the entrance you can't res so a wipe usually involves a long run for us.

i'd say it'll take my group at least 5 hours to clear everything but we never tried (stop raid after curator most of the time).and usually its just Attumen, Moroes, Maiden, Opera, Curator, Prince and now Nightbane. sometimes aran, sometimes illihoof.

i think i'm gonna stop going to karazhan and join when there's not enough ppl lol, so other rogues get to go prince more often. sick of the thrash/waiting for ppl(who are always waiting for summons) and i got all the loots i need( not interested in t4 glove/malchazeen/chess event shoulders anymore, gladiator dagger next week). cool.gif

Last nite, started at 915, took 2.5 hours to clear attumen,moroes,R+J,Curator then we tried Nightbane for first time....he is a BIG SCARY SOB....love the graphic when he comes flying in low.

Back in SW by 12AM...

We finally got Ilhoof down yesterday, not a fun fight. It just takes so long doing the same thing over and over again. Had a few goes on netherspite, people are still unsure of the concept behind him but that looks to be a much more fun encounter.

Nightbane, is impossible for me with the current lag... can't stance dance after spotting the ground tremor quickly enough sad.gif. Will have to try timing the fears and offtanking him.

Doesn't matter when you have 1.4k ms and the fear is a 2sec cast. Ground is more reliable for me at least imo, i notice it earlier then the cast bar. Very sure i could do it with under 1k ms, just about.

the hard part is only the first time he fears on every phase 1 since its random.

if you have all the time to wait for him to fear without doing anything that effects global cooldown it should not be hard, but the world is not perfect.

if you are an undead, man its easy as hell, wotf first fear, then you can time the other fears. Get tremor ready too just incase.

most of the time if you are feared, some healer is going to die

Well, dealing with fear is one of the first things you learn as a MT, from Magmadar to Onyxia to Nefarian. You just need to spot the visual cues for the incoming fears, and if you can't do that, anticipate the fear. With my current lag it just means i can't deal with the fears with visual cues but instead anticipate the fears by stop watching the fears. Sigh... wtb dwarf/draenei priest.. sadly they all seem to have vanished in tbc.

if u have the casting bar on enemy potrait, i'm pretty the visual graphics n casting bar will be displayed coresponding with ur lag and wouldnt a casting bar be so much more simpler to deal with.

First of all because of where you're standing you only tend to see the feet. Which means the enemy cast bar is often out of LOS as in too far to the top. The portrait bars are also at the top of the screen whereas my action bars are at the bottom. And i tend to look at the bottom of the screen for my action bars because of watching global cooldowns. So i'm more likely to be slow on picking up on the portrait cast bar which is at the top.

The whole screen shakes when they cast fear, and is really more obvious imo. Try it the next time, it really works.

I suppose a solution would be to either sit further away from the monitor which is impossible due to not having long enough arms or to move the portrait down to the bottom of the screen which really doesn't look that pleasing from an aesthetic point of view.

only encounter to have any need of resistance is curator...but thats only when ur really lacking on heals. at the same time if you put on resist gears, you lack dps and it'll make curator fight much longer than what it already is.

for us, we have one of our warlock putting on 100++ arcane resist and tank hateful bolt. with his siphon life and life drain he barely need any heals at all. and now that we got a paladin, we have him to toss him a holy light or flash every now and then.

bring some resistance pots for curator, aran and illihoof if u want to play it really safe.

i use to think curator was a dps fight until my group downed him in a little more than 9 minutes( 2 times the usual fight duration). we were never in trouble of getting wiped(everyone survived) but it was just long cos we had an affliction warlock and shadow priest(both casuals with greens+blues) and i had to chase the adds down instead of staying on the boss. rclxub.gif

how long do ppl usually take to down prince?

never noticed in the past, but it took 5 mins and 50 secs(from DBM) today with regular pots only + 4 healers( 2 pally 1 priest 1 shaman).

and now there's drama in my guild between the other 2 kara groups. QQ! rclxub.gif

Heading to Opera, the Skeletal Urshers hit very hard and difficult to hold aggro. Any tips? Our guildies are comprised of ppl from various guilds so each one had a different strat. One was to have everyone in a box formation except for the tanks who are in the middle.

We also tried Misdirecting one mob to the tank but the OT who wasn't on TS picked it up instead. Aiyo. sad.gif

Can't wait until 2.1.0 when they can be shackled.

BTW, tried Romulous and Julianne. Didn't get through it but it definitely looks interesting. As does all 3 of the Opera Events.

Hmm dunno if this is the right place to ask but I'm trying to figure out best config for netherspite and rotations for eating the zomglaserzpewpew. We normally try to roll with the following

1 Prot warrior
1 Prot Pally/off healer (if not available we use a dps warrior for OT purposes)
1 holy priest
2 Full time healers (druid/pala/priest)
1 Shadow mana battery
4 DPS slots (random - usually mage for water! and whoever i feel needs the gearing most. For learning days i take the more experienced ones though. Mixture melee/range)

The few times that we have been there have been total chaos. I'm saying to the rest of my team that it's good practice for the cubes on magtheridon and that we should take him down since Netherspite's the only thing we haven't cleared in Karazhan.

This dragon reali is free loot once u got the rotation down. Easier than aran and doesnt need some luck factor in prince. Just some coordination n u'll see how easy this guy is.

tip -
alwaz use a healer who can HoT on green beam like in ur case druid n priest to alt take the green beam.
SP alwaz takes one full blue beam rotation. U'll be suprise at the hp/mana returns he provides. Just make sure u heal him on the run back up to the ramp.

Hmm the shadowpriest eating the full blue beam sounds interesting. but if netherburn is ticking at 1200 every 5 secs won't he get 2 shotted when after 60 secs it deals +480% damage esp if unlucky with the breath on transition to phase 2? I imagine a warlock in the blue beam would require very little healing as well due to life drain + siphon life?

We're thinking of dpsing in the room as well during the breath stage though due to the fact that the door will be closed in the next patch. Dunno, how that'll work, guess we'll see when we get there again later this week.

No he wont die as long ur healers are watching out. Then normally we'll have a rogue take half of it on the next phase followed with any other dps class. On another note, hydross down! =p

yea no point using Hot, your raid shouldnt be taking dmg anyway, they need to pot/hs/bandage, your healers should only be focus healing aran targets.

use a priest in FR gear to soak elemental bolts, or position your priests at the elemental spawn points(they always spawn same place) and fear as soon as they appear

Then, my uni class starts in the afternoon 2pm.
So i had to leave house to go to uni n pass up some stupid assignment.

Then, i got sms from my guildie when im in class.
They downed Prince on 4th attempt.
Sunfury bow dropped n theres no hunter(me) in raid doh.gif

I feel like killing someone now. ARGHHH!!

Morning raids FTL!

700-900 on average.

Hm....there reali isnt much of a that tanks can do differently in terms of the casting rotation. But what reali helps in the beginning is at the start of the pull getting all other warriors to help sunder in beginning to get the 5 sunders up and make sure they are doing the debuff slots. That way u get to spam devastate alot faster n dun waste 1sec gcd on debuffing like demo shout / TC.

The best way to start off imo is to bloodrage (imp wif talent), shield block, white hit, shield slam and revenge will be ur next cast due to pre-cast shield block. That way u start off with ur max threat spell followed by 2nd highest.

We seldom encounter this problem anymore. When it does, just have your hunter pull a mob near the prince. This should make the prince back to normal. If your hunter can't last long enough, have your warr tank it. Hope this help.

Because even though you cannot aggro the prince, he will still patrolling around. So when your hunter manage to lure the mobs to the balcony, ask the tanker to tank that mobs and follow where the prince patrol. Follow next to the prince will do the job.
