Re: [Raiding] Pride and Ego (Nathrezim) hits level 25!!

Yeah, Sha of Anger has 216m health, and I think 25+ people will be needed. I read the strat for him, and it's pretty straight forward.

I'll stick to Arcane for the first few attempts...I think the performance/gear level is a little better ratio at lower ilvls for Arcane. Once I can reach near hit cap comfortably without reforging every piece I'm wearing to hit, I think it will be just about time to switch over.

I'm starting to dig this Mage a lot. I'm not seeing many people dominate me on the dps meters. And the ones that are, are definitely better geared than I am. I was up around 100k on a couple pulls in Scarlet Monestary last night, bursting to close to 60k on bosses before evening out to somewhere around 40k (depending on mechanics).

Here is the current schedule for these Raid releases:
Tuesday, Oct. 2 - Normal Mogu'shan Vaults

From what I'm reading Salyis's Warband world boss could be doable with 20-25 people if most are level 90.

The strat seems pretty simple...here is a strat from Proudmore that was used last Wednesday:
quote:
We had 4 Tanks around 10 Healers Rest DPS

1. We had 2 of the higher level tanks on Boss
2. We had the 2 OTs on Adds
3. Have the MTs face boss away from raid, critical you do this.
4. Have the OTs pickup adds and put them in raid, from there you AoE them down.
5. When he casts stomp use damage reducing abilites to nerf the damage. Healers be ready to AoE heal a lot everyone will be on or around 25% HP.
6. When he casts the cannon attack it will not be a issue of hes facing away from raid. If hes facing towards them the raid needs to run away asap.

Its a rinse and repeat fight, we did this with only like 2 90s and most 86s-88s.

Info about our kill:

Server: Proudmoore US
Date: 9/26/12
Time: 3:00pm Server (PST Timezone)
Leader: Apéx (me)
Extra: 100% Pug, we asked in general if anyone wanted to do him and suprisingly downed him, we were server first and top 5 world =D
Loot: We all recieved one of those bags, some people only recieved 28gold which was a disappointment, others recieved purple level 90 rings, around a 490 ilvl.
I think 4 tanks and 10 healers is overkill. It looks like you could get by with 2-3 tanks and probably 6 healers, 14-15 dps could do it I reckon. The only real threat to the raid is the adds and the stomp (which does 150k dmg)...as long as adds are tanked/aoe'd and the boss is faced away it should be tank and spank.

I'm leveling a dwarf warrior (currently lvl 66) over on tichondrius. It's a really high pop server which is nice (lots of stuff happening, LOW AH prices) but the server ques are getting a little annoying and I was thinking of server swapping. Is there stuff to do on naztherim or is it pretty dead. WoW says its a low pop server.

Would you guys like me to bring him there or is your group pretty tightly-knit at this point?

Whats a server swap cost anyway? 20 bucks?

Jobbie I know you also have a toon in aftershock on mal ganis, like me.

I havn't logged in over there yet though because I havnt bought the xpac yet. I didnt need it until my little dwarf got to the appropriate level. Are people playing in mal'ganis? Arch, Kris, etc?

Arch, Ant and myself still on horde side Mal'ganis is still going but at a slower pace, I wanted to give a serious try to alliance this expac and I had free transfered my Pally to Nathz when I got my scroll of rez when I got back.

Server transfer is $25

we could use a dwarf warrior for classy. The best people to talk to about our guild are the new folks... clawfury See Profile, Ginjer See Profile, McBrain See Profile, Mr Fel See Profile. If you decide you'd like to come over, just shoot me a PM... I'd love to help out.

I've done more with this guild in 4 days than I did with my old guild in 14 months. If that says anything about them.

This is nice for all those reaching or just reached 90.

Players who are looking to purchase this gear should seek out the following vendors:

Townlong Steppes:

Shado-Pan - Rushi the Fox in Shado-Pan Garrison
All - Commander Lo Ping in Niuzao Temple

August Celestials - Sage Lotusbloom or Sage Whiteheart in the Horde and Alliance Shrines
Golden Lotus - Jaluu the Generous in front of Mogu’shan Palace

They also just bumped JP gear to 458 (and nerfed Honor gear from 463 to 458). That was to prevent PVP from being the better gearing path.

Might not be in game yet. They're working on the hotfix.

Re: [Raiding] Raid Release Schedule

Damn. I'd love to join you guys. 25 bucks is so much though and I dont feel like leveling a 5th warrior, lol.

I'll have to think about it. It would really be nice to play with people I know rather than whatever random guild Im in right now....

$25 is worth it judging by your feelings in your statement about your current guild.

Nice we should skyrocket now that we are good for heroics, having our tanks and healers up there will let us get the dps on the heroic runs so we should gear up really soon.

oops, I did it again.

I dont hate you, I promise!

*Edit* Looks like I got some unexpected overtime tonight. I'm taking this as a sign that I MUST TRANSFER.

I'm going to pull the trigger tonight I think. It's my birthday though, and the wife said she might be cooking me a special dinner, so who knows.

If I don't do it tonight though, then tomorrow!

WoW, I didn't realize I had played THAT much this weekend! :P #4 on the server? rofl. Never done that in my life.

EDIT: Given the pop, I think this is what you call being "the best and the brightest of the bottom of the barrel" hahaha

We basically went in to see the fight. We only had 8 people. With 10 I think we would have a legitimate chance to win.

My suggestion is to grind heroics/scenarios this week, gather all of our eligible lvl 90s to do a guild LFR next Tuesday, and then hit the ground running on Wednesday night with our 10 best players ready to smash that place to bits.

How does that sound to the rest of PnE?

With a couple of severely undergeared toons (2 healers including myself, and 2 dps) we managed to get the stone guardians encounter to about 42%.

on thursday we're going to be downing it. after raid last night we broke into two groups and ran a couple more heroics. i was actually fortunate enough to have a few gear drops (staff, shoulder, gloves) in the heroics for my shaman.

now i have to create a couple shoulder enchants with my scribe....i haven't even touched my other toons since the xpac except to log in so i can start the rested XP.

My "best and the brighest of the bottom of the barrel" joke wasn't aimed at my esteemed colleagues in P&E, just to make sure it was understood. I'm just making jokes about this server :P
