Re: [Raiding] DragonSoul Raid Progression Thread (4.3)

sounds like now is the time to start WoL parses. I'd love to start seeing some.

Same here... best was 8%.............. we hit hard enrage (people blowing up and then the self destruct)

Any healers out there.. how did you do the buffs? We did holy & disc on red. Druid and pally on green and 2 x Shammy on blue, best we could come up with.

Here's the final bullet,
to put our love to death.

Went 5/8 for the first night and ran out of time...all were 1 shots except for ultraxion he was 4 shot. Our strat for the healer buffs was
druid - red, shaman - green, disc priest - blue

I know meters don't mean much but each of the healers were throwing out around the 30k hps mark. My guild found this more of a can dps/tank click the button at the correct time than can the healers keep people alive fight.

Once we got the timing on the clicking the button, we downed it the next pull. I can go more into detail if you have specific questions.

I want to say that I am utterly unimpressed with the madness of deathwing fight. I thoguht the PTR snippets were jsut a part of the fight and that they would add more, but I should have known better.

All you do is fight some tentacles and adds and then beat on his head when hes 20% GG DUMB.. I hope heroic mode atleast feels epic..

You gave the disc the haste and mana reduced buff?(Blue) Was he spamming PoH the entire time? O.o I saved that for the shammies because we scale the best with haste and I was capped at 1sec CH, so it worked out perfectly. I also blew all my mana right before it came up so it worked out awesome. You actually gain mana while casting, haha.

I may give our druid red and move our disc to green. Putting the holy priest on red was a no-brainer for me. Not sure what is best for the paladin.

At the end of the day, I just need to optimize this so we don't lose people in the last ~5-10seconds, it just became unhealable, I would love another tree.

In theory if the Discipline Priest was Bubble botting he could chew through a shit ton of mana very quickly, in terms of about 7,000 mana every GCD.

I don't think it will be worth it, he would have to be able to get bubbles on everyone in ~10seconds, (that's how fast shit goes south). It's worth a shot though, I know I'm not giving up my blue buff though LOL.

Not on everyone, no, but he would be able to bubble at least 10 people. :P

I mean, with the Haste and Renewed Hope you'd be beyond GCD capped. It'd be a lot of bubbles and a lot of fucking mana.

Not saying I think it'd be the ideal person for it, I think a Resto Shaman would because they do run with a lot of haste as it is, though I could see an argument for a Holy Priest perhaps, PoH is pretty powerful but even then it ain't gonna be one second powerful.

6/8 25man

Ultra was 2 shott'd and Lootship was lootship. Had a couple of attempts in on the spine, didn't seem that hard

7/8

Spent about half an hour on Deathwing last night, most of it was just explaining. Was on Platform #3 when we wiped. We're actually going to go back on Monday to see if we can seal the deal before the week is out.

reply to JB
4/8 last night. Blew through the first 4, and then we had about 5 or 6 of the group having Dominos so the button didn't show. With the workaround/lag/d'cs/randomly person clicking early/etc our best shot was 6%.

Every single pull we had one of the dps have something go wrong and dying so we would lose dps for a period of time with just gimped us.

Also, did anyone else have issues with someone pulling off the boss (even though the OT was #2 in agro) when Fading Light was cast on the current tank? Twice our hunter got random agro and a one shot when the tank faded before Ultra switched to the OT. We fixed it by having the OT taunt before the MT faded, but it just seemed odd. Not horribly buggy but just enough to keep us from having smooth attempts.

We'll get it tomorrow I'm sure, just fairly annoying.

You're supposed to tank swap like that. Bad tank.

reply to JB
No doubt. Our OT is our weakest link by far so that doesn't surprise me at all. She constantly "misses that" or "didn't know that" or "ok, I'll do that next time". Drives me fucking crazy.

Question from a curiosity standpoint - If i downed first 4 bosses using the LFR tool and then the guild i am in plans on running DS as a guild run during the same week, am i still eligible to recieve loot from the first 4 bosses ?if yes does the vice versa work too within the same week ?

Nope you only have the opportunity to roll on loot for each boss once per week. The lockouts for LFR and 10/25 man are different, however.

reply to JB
That sounded confusing. The lockouts and the loot eligibility are separate. You can run LFR on Tuesday and get loot from the first 4 bosses. Then do your guild normal run on 10 or 25 on Wednesday and be eligible for loot.

You could also run another LFR, but any loot that drops the 2nd time you defeat a boss in the LFR group you would not be eligible to roll on.

6/8 this week. Ultraxion seemed different. Fading Light didn't seem to line up with hour of twilight for me. Off tanking that fight is boring as all hell too.

Lootship wasn't so easy. We stacked the adds so our rogue could cleave them down and took turns slowing,stunning,HoJ'ing the sapper. We lost a melee dps this patch so are ranged heavy. We ignored a lot of the smaller patches on the ground and just stood in the big ones. Not a great strat I am sure for heroic as our ship was at 20% when we brought the boss down.

I am looking forward to some DW attempts on Sunday. Spine didn't look all that bad. We didn't put in serious attempts, just went to get people their died in the fire achievement.
