Holy ground give crap damage lar. Easy to heal thru.
With range dps running in and out when hit by repentence losing a lot of dps which cause the fight to go longer than needed. hence healer need to heal more since the fight is longer. no?

Healing and Dispelling Holy Fire is more critical in maiden fight.

Seriously King, how many time have you "attemped" on Maiden ??

I'm not an expert, but basically Maiden have four abilities.
1. Holy ground - strikes anyone that is in melee range, but the damage is crap. easily heal thru. No problem for healer.

2. Holy Wrath - deal massive damage if people are near one another. But normally it won't be more than 3 people in melee range (including tank) therefore it won't be an issue. Four also workable if they are perfectly spread out. tried that b4.

3. Holy Fire - Single target direct spell that applies DOT that deal over 1000 damage per tick. Normally cast upon those outside of her holy aura which means range dpsers and healers will get it.

4. Repentance - caused 8~10s stun upon every members of the raid. Periodic damage can break it, which mean melee class within the holy ground will have no problem breaking it. range dps like a hunter have to run into the holy ground to break it.

Since you said that melee class will cause the healer having a hard time. So tell me, which is easier for healer to deal. melee class that gets holy ground with crap damage or range dps(in this case hunter) that get holy fire ?? hack, even if the damage is equally same between holy ground and holy fire, it is healer job to heal the raid lar. what else can they do ??

And who is the one that have to waste time keep running in and out when hit by repentance and who is the one can continue hitting on maiden without having to move an inch? And they can't even use their pet in this fight assuming there are 3~4 melee class within the holy gorund. So what kind of dps will the hunter produce in this maiden fight?

And, by having a hunter running in and out of holy ground when they are hit with repentance, might increased the chances of chain holy wrath, no??

She will cast Holy Fire no matter if u are all-melee (except healer) or all ranged (excep tank) or a combination of both.
Your question sounds as if by having meleers, she will stop using Holy Fire. This is not true bcos healers will still be outside of aoe and hence "somebody" will
get the Holy Fire. Someone has to dispell it. It's inevitable. But having meleers take damage in the aoe is extra job for healer, no?

No i did not said it will stop using holy fire if you have meleers. read again bro. lazy to repeat what i said above.

QUOTE(King83)
I have no idea why a hunter can't use pets becos my hunter knowledge is 0.

Ahh... finally something i agreed with what you said....

QUOTE(King83)
Repentence has a longer cooldown than the chain.
Running in once in a while is STILL better than getting chained constantly if were in melee group.

Still there a slight chance that it might happen right? And it bloody wasted dps running in and out.
Again, with 3 meleer who know what they are doing will not be getting chained constantly. Even 4 meleers will not cause it if they are perfectly spread out. How is it u will be getting chained constantly then? Are you stupid or something ??

No, that is exactly what u're saying....
YOU read ur own sentence, not me.
No. i said Holy fire normally targeted at the person closest to her BUT OUTSIDE Her HOLY AURA. which mean, melee that are close to her (INSIDE HER HOLY AURA) would not be targeted. Hence Ranged DPSers will be the one have to eat the bloody Holy fire zhit. understand ??


Did u really attempted Maiden before??? most of my run i don't even have to move much. maybe move forward and backward a bit. that is because healer hit by repetence, the tank move a bit so the holy ground will hit the healer therefore break the repetence on the healer. that it.
If the tanker does not move, i don't have to move at all.

I seriously never seen chained wrath happen before in all my run, maybe next time i should purposely run close to the tanker for the sake of wanting to see it happen. tongue.gif

and not getting chained with 4 meleers is bull crap.
You don't stand the same spot the whole time. lotsa running to healers to break stun etc...

What ? Your tanker (or is it you) have to run all over to break healers repentance?? and are healers standing at the wall is that your tanker have to run around?? lol
Your paladin don't know how to dispell it meh ? other healer that cannot dispell, don't know how to run in holy ground like your hunter meh? before repentance up, your taanker is not HOT up meh?

AGAIN, you're arguing for the sake of arguing.... you don't even know what u're talking about.

too many "meh"
So this is your arguement ?? lol.
lame...

The problem is that even if we share our experience, you deny it based on your experience. But the question now is there's a lot of us in higher end instances compared to you, so whose experience does it count?

My last advice to you is this Kings83 : you don't have to like the person giving the help, you just have to be polite.

No more posts from me whenever you say or ask for something. Too much coaching or tip-giving even for me.
Guess myremi are right....

ur melee dps? dude, try this 1 hand playing:

1) get a gaming grade mouse with additional programmable buttons.
2) program all your nessesary dps buttons and macros
3) position yourself to maiden's ass
4) use only your mouse, and the other hand KFC/McD/Pizza w/e.
5) profit.
lol... just bought gaming mouse during PC fair. brows.gif

Means if no ranged, Maiden won't cast holy fire amirite?
[sarcasm]not even to healers. Or ur healer stand inside aoe wan? that's why she no cast?[/sarcasm]
edited to include sarcasm tags cos some ppl just don't get it
doh.gif
lol... are you still a bloody kid that play WOW? how old are you by the way ?

Well, i never try kara raid with 10 melee char. therefore i really do not know whether maiden will cast holy fire or not.
But by all means, you can go ahead and try it out. but bear in mind, most probably you raid will wipe even before she cast holy fire.
hack...i don't think you all even get pass trash mobs in kara. laugh.gif

You are creating a scenario that won't be happening in a million years to argue your point. hah..

Can i borrow your statment below and point it at you ??

12. if no melee, 7 hunters outside aoe no take extra damage, 7 hunters can shoot non stop except for during repentance, 2 healers can concentrate heal tank only, 2 healers can HoT tank even during repentance = tank won't die = ??? = profit !!
but of cos a raid with 7 hunters, 2 healers & 1 tank is stupid, but for argument's sake... i am only letting u know ranged > melee in this match.
Swap out two hunters for one shaman and fury warrior.
tank front, shaman left back, fury warrior right back... no chain wrath.
Shaman grounding totem can absorb some holy fires. fury totem up, greatly increase both shaman and fury warrior dps.
Fury warrior make sure thunderclap, DShout and CShout up.
all of these help hearlers job right? agreed???

Hunters cannot send in their pets to help dps because will caused chain wrath. so hunters dps will greatly reduced.
while with two melee class there, they can still continues dps even when repentance up.
And i think both melee dps will out perform the two hunters that are being swap out. hack, maybe even out perform 3 hunters dps combined for this fight.

Time reduced to kill Maiden, healers require to perform less healing too.
