World of Warcraft players, come in!

Cleared 6/8 last night without too much trouble then spent way too long wiping to stupid stuff on spine but had a couple close pulls. Ret burst is soooo good for the burning tendons, I nearly doubled the 2nd place dps a few times.
Our healers are really good at keeping people alive(playing wack-a-mole with grid) but have the worst raid awareness/understanding of the fights that ive ever seen. Took almost two hours for one to understand that you need to get into the little hole to be tied down during barrel roll.

;_; <- mfw my ret pally alt will probably completely demolish my Hunter main once it gets 2pc, and a couple more upgrades. Wings+Guardian+Zeal+4pc+Lust=lolretpallyop
Hunter got 2piece and the double focus is pretty nice, honestly not seeing too much of a dps increase from Firelands gear, could probably work out a better rotation though. Guilds 5/8 in DS right now, got blackhorn to p2 last raid night but one of our healers power went out. Honestly would've wiped anyways since our tanks had the brilliant idea of taking him to the OTHER side of the boat, causing shockwave to 1-hit all 3 ranged right after we got the drake to leave.

[DrRusty]

the ranged can easily move out of shockwave no matter where your tank has him. Plus, he targets someone when he does shockwave. He won't always shockwave the tanks. He could be facing the tanks, then do a 180 and shockwave a melee behind him. It's your DPS's job to look at DBM, realize shockwave is coming (always after his shout) and be ready to move.

Shockwave radius increase the further out right? Seemed like it took up the whole boat if you have him too far back.

[DrRusty]

No idea, but that doesn't really matter. You should be semi close to him knowing that shockwave is coming. Your ranged were obviously too far back that they were unable to move away from shockwave. He only drops his little AoE purple things on the ground close to him, so putting him on one side of the ship allows you more room to move him when part of the ship is taken up by purple clouds.

edit - and I love my Destroyer's End title =D. It's hotness. Hopefully we can get maybe to 2 more heroic bosses down next week.

Yeah, the ability is a cone, so it spreads the further it goes.

From what I read, you want Ranged to be within his interrupt aoe so they can avoid Shockwave. They can deal with the interrupt, but the shockwave just destroys face.

[Ladon]

Well, our tank had him by the door while Goriana was still out so the ranged were dealing with her and since the cone expands there was really no way to avoid it. I guess we could've moved in with every shockwave but it would have been much easier to just tank him at the front.

[CrazyNomad]

the shockwave is the same as the skill cast by Bloodlord Mandokir in zul'gurub, called Devastating Slam.

You just have to watch the cone he makes before he cast shockwave, and move.

Only difference is he casts it way faster than Mandokir lol
You pretty much only have 1-2sec to get out or you doomed.

yeah, but the concept is the same.

Finally killed deathwing last night, took us 10 tries....

The mount dropped, rolled 87, hunter rolled 92.....At least got the sword.

[CrazyNomad]

sp.net hates me.....

Man, a lot of people have been getting the mount to drop on their first kill. My guild unlucky :(

[CrazyNomad]

yeah, i heard about it too.

this comic is hilarious:

[DrRusty]

LOL that's exactly what I did. I put on the noobish looking stuff I could find

[IllegallySane]

Also, I have no idea why I find this hilariously funny.

Hagara’s Frost Shield can no longer be broken by Shattering Throw to avoid her Frozen Tempest phase.

[Ladon]

total wtp.
One shot Blackhorn last night then like 4 shot spine. Our group is so weird when it comes to this crap. -_-

[DrRusty]

new ally vs horde and it's epic

[Dark Link]

I'm liking the new class restrictions Blizz implemented. Hopefully they'll go further with it and do the rest of the LFR gear.

[CrazyNomad]

our first DS heroic kill, had to use 4 healers for that fight..... morchok is so annoying :(
