QUOTE(myremi @ May 8 2007, 11:35 AM) yeah, went into heroic BM coz guildies persuade me that they heard from a friend that it's only slightly more difficult than normal BM. hybrid if ur confident... full heal spec if ur not.sets84 : tell me a time when streamyx stops lagging. Qua : yeah, was thinking an offhealer who can still DPS . shadow priest would be nice. but the 2nd healers is full healing spec of hybrid healer? or, hybrid if you lack dps, full heal if you dont lack dps at all. either up to you or the dps'ers... or even the tank if he can: 1) hold enough aggro 2) mitigate enough damage |

QUOTE(Kurei @ May 8 2007, 03:05 PM) dun bring melee dun bring melee dun bring melee. I've done and completed every heroic and i must say the group i alwaz run with, Druid + SP + tank + ele shaman + frost mage is the most versatile. If ele shaman + mage is geared n skilled 3 mobs are already cced effectively with sheep and 2 kited. And of cos SP there being a mana battery. dont see a problem right there so long i have good healers. |

QUOTE(sets84 @ May 8 2007, 04:03 PM) this is the mentality that i always have shun upon... rollin with shamans makes happy melees, true story.before the kara times, when doing 5 man instances before the stealth nerfs and what not, shamans and druids were always taken as "liability" in 5 man runs. the only prefered healers were priests and paladins. now, I have a question... if the shamans and druids are ignored forever, how will they ever be able to gear up and help out in future raids. they may not shine in 5 mans, but they absolutely shine in raids. same goes for a rogue, there are many trivial fights now that gives rogues a disadvantage. however im sure there are bosses that sitll requires rogues, and when ur up to those bosses... how are you gona do it with undergeard rogues that you have neglected? Added on May 8, 2007, 5:30 pm QUOTE(Kurei @ May 8 2007, 03:22 PM) not putting down on melee but just healing me one person is easier than healing an additional person. 2 ppl who can kite n kill their mob by themselves quicker than anything rather than a dps melee class who cant kite (probably can but cant kill it) the choice is pretty obvious. Its doable but reali u wouldnt understand how much simpler n smoother it is w/o a melee. why kite when standing still shooting yields much higher dps?so long ur tanking skills/gear to produce enough aggro/mitigation, tank multiple targets even in hard heroics isnt a big deal. like the slave pens defenders, our tank tanks both of them anyways... sure, they hit me for 8-10k... but on a tank that has decent enough mitigation, and good healers, it doesnt matter. and i can kidneyshot them time to time... and no one have to kite... 1 goes down in mere seconds, and the other one being alone, doesnt pose a threat at all.

QUOTE(Kurei @ May 8 2007, 09:03 PM) If ur dps is nuking a target and cant pull aggro, sry the dps aint good enuf. that is seriously the dumbest shit ive heard for quite some time, seriously take creativity right there.But for eg : Double trinket pull defender, by the time the first defender reach me the one they are on almost dead. which is easier? =p Way more easier than waitin to heal for one and tank. And these are easy heroics. Maybe the harder ones like heroic SL n SH are a much noticable difference. I constantly have to get my guild mates attuned to trial of naaru quests, finding the most ideal setup is crucial to me as it is a tiresome chore to repeatly go in these annoying instances trust me. I nvr have to wait for sap or ask ppl wait awhile for aggro, just sheep n shaman n mage nuke their target along with the sp. i tank the rest n by the time they finish i have complete aggro on the rest for them to nuke. Its just nuke the whole way. SH questline done in 30mins to executioner? Doubt u can do that with a rogue. By no means again i say rogue is not viable, but when u have to the cumbersome duty of alwaz tanking some tedious instances a ranged group is just simply the best. Reach last boss switch ppl out zone in n finish the quest. Again i stress i'm just pointing out on my version of an optimised 5man heroic setup. Rogues are definitely viable and have extreme dps but when compared on efficiency just not as good as ranged. Ya surely but that's only 2 fights and in fact if u replace the rogues with shammies with 5secs shocks (with talents) and double bloodlust i would have just countered your argument. imo if you constantly get aggro pulled, sorry, its YOUR threat sucking or ur partty thinks its cool busting out trinkets and shit before the tank even manage to do shit. and why need to wait for sap? rogues that pure dps dont sap anyways, waste of energy and time. just have the tank to tank that one additional guy and have heals stepped up a lil for just a short while. and wait for dps? not sure what kinda of rogues you party with, but i sure as hell dont wait for dps. if the tank cant keep up to my innate -29% aggro, he prolly shouldnt be tanking in the first place anyways. not sure on your "nuking ur whole way runs", but for my runs, so long i can get a pally or priest(resto shams will do too but its very stressful for them and they usually need to mana potion), that is well geared and have very good mana conservation skills, the whole group never need to drink at all until before bosses or hard pulls, just for the added safety. last mob 5-15ish% already pulling next pull. if the caster dps cant keep up, he'll be left behind, i can pick up the slack anyways while he have to drink. that alone is speed. sure, shadow priest VT is good, but when trash mobs died under 10 sec or so, vt will actually drain more mana than returns, with the exception to the people excluding the shadow priest. not to disagree that they are a liability within a 5man (especially heroics), i personally also think they are. even being a rogue myself. but what your putting out in argument here is flawed at best. try better. sets: ok setup anyways lol... just the fury warrior part. |

QUOTE(Kurei @ May 9 2007, 02:45 AM) Tank n spank? Seriously its BC already. so your trying to say tank n spank dont exist anymore in BC? how bout you be less ignorant and think straight. pretty much minus the technicality here and there for different mobs/boss/encounters, everything is a tank n spank.I MT for my guild with magtheridon kill to our belt. Obviously i can hold my ground as a tank. Seeing that u havent pass kara, well what can i say. And judging from ur gear n gauging what dps u can do with it, i can eat fried rice and tank at the same time. As for running with well geared ppl, http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/?#charac...9;Thos&n=Snakey http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/characte...27Thos&n=Haukun these are the 2 ppl i alwaz blaze thru heroics with. Just had an armory on ya and i can tell ur heroics are painful to run with. And assuming you're not boasting n telling the truth on ur strength of ur dps, imagine how much faster it is for my group to do it consider they can burst dmg like 100000000 times faster than u? lol. But just to reiterate i wasnt reali stressing on this point in the last post but rather how versatile these 2 classes with the ability to kite n an extra sheep where as all u have to offer is an occasional blind and taking dmg. If u wanna diss ppl and sound almighty, at least have first hand experience of what content is like beyond heroic slave pens. Reading forum posts n watching videos are not the way to do it lol. And seriously kara is not that hard, my guild only raid 3 days a week and still able to down mag. Maybe u need to reconsider ur skill lvl. just a suggestion. and if you even think of eating fried rice to tank my aggro, ur gonna lose it, guranteed. whats even dumber, is you bring a mage and shaman that havent even break 800 spell dmg to compare with me... wow? i yield between 700-900 sustained dps depending on how buffed i am... those 700ish spell dmg people at best ill give them 600-800 sustained. sure, they can burst, but burst dmg != pve, thank you. unless all ur fight resolves in waiting for trinket cooldowns and drinking lots. then imho, thats not speed. even worse, the shaman didnt even have totem of wrath and you bring him in the picture for dps comparison... lol... and sorry, i dont just do heroic slave pens, i do it because i havent got my midnight pants. ive done pretty much all heroics except heroic arca/heroic bota/heroic bm iirc. dont see a problem in my runs too so long i run with regulars and we clear those instances very fast too anyways. you too, if you wanna live in ur box and being ignorant of facts, at least realize that when you wanna bring guild progressions into the picture, theres a million guilds out there that is easily over ur head. so your only making yourself look even stupid than you've already are. i personally think that kara isnt hard either. but to have 9 others to share the same vision and dedication? not something you can always take into your hands. furthermore, gruul's and mag isnt a huge leap over what kara already is. hell people that clears gruuls and mag even skip bosses in kara such as aran or nightbane or even netherspite. its just the matter of having the people to do the 25mans, and thats what we dont have, we dont even have a kara group 2 to begin with. so really, do urself and everyone a favor, wear a -50 stupid headgear, and post less stupid post. |

QUOTE(Kurei @ May 9 2007, 10:39 AM) Find a shaman with more spell dmg? Any shaman on this forum in pve gear has close to 800 spell dmg or even close pls speak up. That is rare. And mage is wearing pvp gear? Respecced for pvp? U by just saying that i know u LACK INSIGHT. your the one that link the profile, if anyone's lacking insight, its you for not forseeing this. and that mage in pvp spec? grats on being even clueless for linking that friend of yours then lmao.Added on May 9, 2007, 10:44 am No my healer is a druid. Yes i'm glad finally someone agreed. Healing one person is way simpler than healing 2. The whole idea is to create easeness n simplicity running 5mans. And u get that if u optimise what the other classes can do with their skills n dmg. Y couldnt quazacolt just reply in a frenly manner is beyond me. and sure, dont tank and spank then. go kite bosses or w/e. im sure that really worked out for you as you 2 shot heroic bosses. damn pro right here /lolsarcasmlol and sorry, guild progression when your not at the top of the list doesnt mean shit, everything is been done and strats are all over the net. if you think it does mean anything, good for you, but honestly, you'll just get laughed at when ur trying to bring it into any sort of measurement. whats even worse is claiming people that dont have decent progression or whatever lacks experience is even laughable. if thats the case, then pretty much a HUGE majority of lyn people dont have experience at all? i think not. imho the higher end raiding is not much of a difference in the basic wow game play anyways. with the strats of each fights being different and different mechanic here and there. and wow... when did i EVER said i dun do kara? seriously, quote that shit to me, including date and post url, i REALLY wanna see that. and am i bringing other guilds progression in to the picture? dont think so, i didnt even bring my own guild's progression into the picture. you have 10 people, or 25 people that are good, good for you, you make progression. not everyone can bring together 10/25 good and dedicated people together. until you start forming your own guild, you have no say in this. hell, many people/guilds including some in lyn also face the same problem. so if you really think its you doing it all, think again. and pretty sure i dont go around claiming who kills what. theres someone that does that around this forum but im not naming names. i wont deny im shifting the blame, i really am. but again, until your in charge of guilds and raids, you really have no say in this, thank you. and oh wow you suddenly know how many prot tanks i have... 3 right? ill tell you how many prot tanks we have right now, 1. way to f***ing lose that one. and ill be honest, i dont run all my heroics with my guildies. they either dont show when there isnt raid or they dont go heroics. thats their choice, while i can just pug it up and do it anyways. not really a big deal. if you really want proof that bad, ill just screenshot my dps for you this coming friday. no big deal. after all nothing can deny hard numbers. kidi: not to say that everything has to be tanked and not cc/kite etc. theres always an option and every group has their preference and advantage in certain methods.

QUOTE(tetsu @ May 9 2007, 06:22 PM) somoene figured it out. high dps team right there, but i guess ur on the cc'ing role to ease off the healer...hope it still works after patch - well. most ppl have different opinions about effective heroic instance parties. usually my party consists of warrior, mage, warlock/hunter,holy priest and rogue(me, and i don't share the loots from chests i lockpick /gg). i don't think i'm a mana drain to the healer cos i'm more focused on stun locking than dps. its either i'm assisting the tank or range assist me while my target stay stunned for 10 secs( mutilate rogues generate combopoints fast) and if i get hit, its usually 1 hit KO crit anyway, meaning i don't get heal at all. mage threat> rogue, so if it get released from stunlock, it'll b running towards the mage 20-30 yards away and die before it reaches anyone.(i use crippling poison to play extra safe, but usually i don't) anyway, most parties are still going to bring at least 1 rogue for chest loot and shattered halls locked door b4 the first boss i rkn, cos back in the day i get b****ed at so often cos of having <100 skill in lockpicking and couldn't unlock chests(didn't have the time cos i reached lvl 60 just b4 BC) i usually run with 2 healers to be on the safer side, and less stress for that one healer too anyways. (everyone gotta have some fun right? and thats an interesting point, especially if ur mutilate/assassination, you get QR, and healers LOVES QR lol... renews on me are usually 800-900/tick... and good priests do it for over 1k/tick... really not hard to heal. and the healers get to have their occassion epeen flaring with QR (or lock fel armor anyways) highest heals i got is 999x, almost 10k... from a druid healing touch crit. dont even have that much hp Added on May 9, 2007, 8:43 pm QUOTE(myremi @ May 9 2007, 06:31 PM) an observation from my guildie who was pugging a group through normal SL. might work in heroics. that is like one disgusting male orgy fest... 3 pallys together. 1 tank + 2 healing him. that tank was holding 5-6 mobs at one time. remaining party spots were taking by a rogue + mage. free run.

QUOTE(myremi @ May 10 2007, 07:55 AM) well, still makes it an interesting read. i like hearing of different styles. least they are running instances, better than nothing another i heard was that a mage tanking and a rogue DPSing from behind, running around as well. they were running instances like this in Frostmourne. had problems finding a tank so they did it this way. still 3 pala in a group makes a very gay image in my head This post has been edited by Quazacolt: May 10 2007, 08:52 AM |

(like if situation gets tight, mispulled an add or so... mana going low, definitely need to jack a mana pot) |

QUOTE(Gladys @ May 11 2007, 01:40 PM) im rather jack a mana pot also dun want 2 healer. shamans, boost existing dps, can heal, and mana totem, and can dps themselves. if enh they boost the melee dps by quite a huge ammount, and at the same time also boost tank aggro so it upscales by a long shot. down side is they also take the dmg say a rogue would take.well, dps druid then is different story. tran dono wat skill name n innervate. in 5 man. not 25 man. elem shams are pretty much no different as any caster dps, and they can boost existing caster dps by a huge margin with totem of wrath and wrath of air, at the same time boosting their own dps. paladins... needless to say. at current patch, their heals are so god like they dont even have to drink not even once in the entire instance, even heroics if theres another healer backing him or is main healing.

QUOTE(pr0di9y @ May 11 2007, 09:29 PM) Druids solo healing in heroic mode are still not as good as any other classes, unless you have like around 1.8K +healing. If not don't even bother of doing so, you can main heal if you have someone in the party who's going to cover you if something happens. i had a healing touch on me for 999x The most I'm able to heal thru at this moment on heroic mode are only Blood Furnace. I'm not even a full restoration spec, but getting a fast heal in certainly will help you out on the healing a lot. Start off with Regrowth or Rejuvenation, then spam away your Healing Touch all the way until the mobs died & reapply the healing over time when necessary. Why not use Lifebloom together with the other healing over time? Well at this moment, the healing over time on the spell do not get the benefit from the +healings you have while stacking Lifebloom. It might help a bit, but I found that combination of Regrowth and Rejuvenation before spamming Healing Touch are the best option at this moment. I get reduce time on my casting by 0.5 sec if any of my spells critical with Nature Grace on my current build. Combo with the Scarab of the Infinite Cycle (drop from Black Morass, Aenous - Last Boss) another 0.7 sec reduce if the spell haste proc on the heals. Fastest healing touch I've casted was 1.93 sec. The downside of this build is you don't get to use Swiftmend and you tend to get aggro easily if your Warrior Tank is not Protection Spec. Either way Swiftmend is going to get fixed and down ranking on those Regrowth or Rejuvenation will not get the full benefit from the +healing if Swiftmend is used on it. I have Rank 6, 7, 8 Healing Touch on my action bar when I'm healing at heroics and standard Regrowth Rank 6, 7. Also have your Nature Swiftness + Healing Touch Rank 13 macro so you can instant cast on anyone who is on 20% health points. At this moment I'm trying my best to get my Rank 4 Healing Touch to do a decent 1.4-1.6k heals with critical heals of 1.8-2.0k. But with my current gear I'm still far behind on solo healing thru Heroic instances. Normal shouldn't be a problem for anyone. Just remember the basic style of healing for druids. HoTs before direct heals. This is my style, I don't know about others. Also don't fancy healing in Lolform |

ill post up my 700+ dps in a sec... its on maiden... 3ish minute fight... too bad i could've done at least close to 900... didnt have bloodlust and some cooldowns cuz was used...and i bandaged twice and one i noobed that shit and got repented while bandaging and no consecration to cure me... so 20-30+ sec of no dps.
we wiped on her like 4 times because even with FOUR f***ING HEALERS our mt can still die... apparently they decided its cool to let him die at least 4 times before deciding to keep him alive. and 2 of those wipes i had bloodlust and was charting about 840 to 880 dps. |
