Can confirm having spoken ingame to one of them, that this account is a shared account.

We're aiming for Herald of the Titans Trick, realm 2nd, so yeah, we will be going back.

Welcome to joins us, of course

I have 2 questionsfor Adiltam - do you have your own account? And you have no raiding experience from The Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King expansions, is that right?

Cheers

Errrrmmmmm nice raid all, thanks.

1.38 Ald, I saved yo' ass with Lay on Hands. I'll make a gear guide thread in members section for Herald of the Titans too, DO WANT.

Edit - That was realm 27th Glory of the Ulduar Raider btw, not as common as I thought it would be.

So we got our arses handed to us this time, but it wasn't a total waste. We seem to have P1 down nicely, I've been browsing Maintankadin for some tips. Here are a few things to consider:

- Some recommend 4 healers, 2 tanks, 4 DPS,  as the enrage timer remains generous even in heroic mode and it is doable, some say.

- Holy priest specced in Body and Soul for speed bubbles to negate problems caused by Soul Consumption.

- Paladins using Hand of Freedom on Soul Consumption to remove the snare effect on said debuff.

- Twilight realm tank reaching hard expertise cap (12%-ish?) to avoid getting gibbed by parry haste (dont know if healers think tank deaths are a problem or not).

- Using Aura Mastery + Shadow Resistance/Fire Resistance auras. As prot I'd have to choose between Divine Sacrifice and Aura Mastery, depends if Neil can fit AM into his build or not.

- Having one DPSer assigned to track the orbs and cutter timer in P2 then with a Macro announce the time to collapse on them. Eg "Collapse on me" spammed in /y /s. This may help relieve the burden on raid healers.

- Testing Grounding Totem to see if it eats the Combustion/Consumption. Apparently used to work, but some say it's been hotfixed, worth investigating.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

We weren't really prepared for our previous attempts at Hc - the group setup wasn't ideal and our normal mode tactics don't suit it. Could be doable if we tighten up on tactics, though only 2 guilds on Aszune have a 10man heroic kill, so it's much harder than the guys in the video make it seem.

Edit - Agree Dfe, I think that's just an addon for an addon's sake, serves no real purpose other than "OMG look at my pro UI". And there are no adds spawning on 10man btw, Jamie.

I reckon this video is helpful for 10man heroic RS, with some handy positioning tips we could pickup:

Worth a shot tonight, in my opinion.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Well, not strictly three attempts, we had a few attempts on Friday with a different raid setup that didn't work at all - 2 tanks, 3 healers. So I think we learned what not to do then, saving us time last night.

Got her up on the third attempt Dfe - it's largely the same, but with a few exceptions.

The zombies now charge around very fast, so we decided to just tank them up, and eat the explosions from them with tank CDs. The frost mages now drain around 2k mana every time their frost bolts land. Only other major change is in the portal, entering the portal now places a DoT on the healer, and the +Healing buff drops off much faster.

Oh, and her health decays over time.

Here's a video of our guild-first save on Dreamwalker heroic (10man), filmed from my PoV (Prot pally).

I missed the first minute and a half because I forgot to press record - but I got the second half, which is the bit that matters really, when it starts to get a bit hectic

We opted for 1 tank (tanking Abominations and Zombies), 4 healers (2 pallies on dragon, drood and shammy on raid) and stacked ranged DPS (shadow priest, boomkin, mage, hunter) with one melee (feral DPS).

PP and Sindy Hc next up

PS - Apologies for the shoddy camera work and lack of soundtrack - first time filming, and no music on this Mac :eyebrow:

Bloody Gnomes.

Thanks for ruining our thread on Icc10 Hc Bamse, Jesus Christ...

Gear restored!
