Title: Tonights raid 20/3/13
Post by: Sharpfang on March 20, 2013, 03:33:42 PM
I spoke to Clare, he intends to come tonight. So looking at the signups, if we take Shonia, thats a full group.
She has not yet responded to her invite tho. The first boss is totally doable with 2,5 heals,1 tank and 6 dps,
as long as the dps manage to stay alive.

For the 2nd boss, we might be able to carry her, but i think we might struggle, we will see

For Garalon we definetely need a replacement dps.

So, any takers amongst the RGT peoples?

Edit: Btw, Mario, have u sorted the scrolls for stat buffage? or do we not need it due to hunters supplying it

Ztéalmax has talked to me and want to join the group, he said he has 470 ilvl and yea that is what he has.
But what do we need to have him up on to be able to join in HoF?

Vlad was on 482, but i believe RGT dragged Agastrat thrui there lower than that. depends a bit on the rest of the group as well

As zteal and shonia are to be joining rgw it opens up the options to get items crafted (bloods) that in turn may get them into the new lfr
Try and use them as much as possible on the fights if you get an obvious issue we can find a sub

Sorry to hear that Mario.  I'm sure we'll do what we can to get by. Don't worry about us, just sort yourself.

really good raid as well, got all 4 down, so were back on the amber shaper. Also had both Shonia and Ztealmax in for the first fight, and Shonia in for the 2nd.

From what I saw, there were two key issues:

1 - Not getting the construct down to <20% HP
2 - Failing to interrupt an explosion

The first has to be done and I'd recommend stopping DPS at 23% or so which is what RGT tend to do.   We have as melee dps calling this and their primary job is to call the 'stop dps' and then to trim the 23% down (with remaining dots) to less than 20%.   Stopping high is a problem as you lose people which is a wipe.   Stopping too low is surviavable and the lesser of the two evils.  As a DOTer I tend to stop adding new DOTs at 35% - send this slightly different message to DOTers in a whisper and you'll be good to go.

The interrupts are an issue and people are panicking due to the sheet number of CD timers showing on the bossmod for this fight.   My advice would be to turn off as many of the timers as possible, most of them are not needed, and just leave on the essential ones.   Then teach the raid to recognise the difference between the two explosions - DBM has an AUDIO warning for the Amber Monstrosity explosion (?Devasting - or something like that) and a AUIO COUNTDOWN (5-4-3-2-1) for a personal explosion.    

The rest they are already handling reasonably, the right clicking on the Amber Monstrosity to start auto attack etc and keeping enough close range for "1" to interrupt the Amber Monstrosity explosion.    Make sure they know that they can interrupt their own explosion ("2") wherever they are, it is not dependent on them being at the Amber Monstrosity.  If you spend some time on the 1 & 2 but then I think people will pick it up quickly if they tune into the timer AUDIO or COUNTDOWN.
