You know, after spending weeks in SSC and TK, Kael'thas looks like a fun fight. Did him last night and seriously interesting. Easy raid bosses are boring.
Anyway, just wondering, do you guys have enough time for all your raiders to loot all the legendary weapons? Or only the key people could loot it. We just tried it yesterday and had some problems making sure that people who are critical for tanking the adds, have their weapons first. Seems like a delay in looting it that not sure if within that 1 min, everyone can loot. Or maybe because our AOE wasn't doing enough damage.
Try this. P2 is basically a race against time, and the efficient usage of DPS. I did the number crunching and this is what works for LoTH.
1. Bow dies first to focus fire from all ranged dps (melee dps can start working on other weapons). This gives tanks time to gain solid agro.
2. 1 rogue/enha shammy/dps warrior on Staff for interrupts (the aoe frostbolt hurts). All other melee on Mace for interrupts and dps.
3. Once bow dead, range dps switches to AOE. Have warlocks CoS the weapons. Go all out AOE. Mages AE. Locks SoC. Shammies drop that fire elemental totem. Fury warriors WW. etc etc etc.
4. Once Mace and Staff dead (they will die fast coz very little HP), then switch to single target dps.
Melee -- dps the dagger, then the sword. Range dps -- dps the shield, then help finish off the sword (dagger should be dead by the time the shield goes down).
All players loot their weapons. Then ranged dps focus fire on Axe.
Usually, using this method, P3 starts just about when the Axe is about to die. We have ample time to loot all weapons (about 5-7 seconds time to loot), and another 5 seconds to start moving to positions for p3.
Try to let Thaladred die to the far back of the room as possible, away from Capernian's tanking position. This will also buy you several more seconds.
The way my guild did it was to dps the bow down 1st so that hunters can loot it, the other weapons are tanked together, the exception being the mace which is tanked a bit further away, but in range of aoe. We bring about 6 warlocks, so each one pops a COD on the mace, and the rest of the dps aoe the adds down.
Do not loot weapons before all weapons are down, the exception being hunters
i was having fun dancing ( /dance ) through the trash mobs getting to KT room... i was having fun staring at mr zombie walker n mrs fire starter (at least she's not an eyesore to loot at..lol)... i was having fun interrupting staff/mace from casting n watch fireworks from casters... zomg................i think i've never felt so useless on any BC bosses before KT (aside from 1/2 tries while learning vashj taking down elementals..lol)...
btw, bout the weapons...mebe u can try getting the important ones down first if ur lacking aoe power n let the ppl loot em to prepare themselves for p3 before zerging the other weapons..could try that way...
The only reason why the other guilds diss your guild for using the stump is because they are all too stupid to realise such an easy use of in-game mechanics. They're all haters, imo.
Yay, no more attunement anymore. No need to attune other guildies Kaelthas can go suck balls.
Without downing vashj and kael, i dun think guilds would be able to steamroll the 1st few bosses of bt hyjal. my guild actually learned a lot from both fights, and it really helped with coordination. the trash in BT and hyjal is crazy. and i would say najentus and anatheron>>> leotheras,alar etc.

Blizzard will probably reduce the amount of thrash mobs too! Casuals FTW!

1st~4th boss on hyjal is very easy,those bosses are free loot. Archimonde is harder than illidan if your raid is full of noobs,but then theres an cool exploit make it tank and spank mode(thanks loth,saw it on stage6!rofl),use it while you can.
theres no real hard encounter for bt as well, 1st~3rd is free loot , as for other,although scrub guild will have problem downing them lol,but its still quite easy overall.
The rough ride starts from bloodboil. And farming HoDs on mother sharaz? lol. I do like the attunements being removed. Recruitment is so much easier now. =p
