HEROIC Warmaster Blackhorn - DEFEATED 01/04/12

[pälsboll]

as TL say.. I know you think cats are poor on this fight, but this still shows them doing a median 33k dps which is pretty close to many other classes.

and I still wonder how the do it.. must be uber-gear or something
but if anyone see a good explaining for that fight for cats.. show me pls..

There's 5 pages of cat logs to compare.  Hope it helps!

What you posted tl ^^ is that for warmaster?....

then thats another thing to worry about

[Grimnar]

For pals and myself it just counts as sod off with the main target and start swapping between all mobs alive and put a rotation on all of them and keep them running.
We get the hard part again, those lazy warriors and rogue's have it easy :narnar:

totally agree

[Cynba]

Got to phase 2 at least! :narnar:
Our last 2 tries were the best (can rewatch them here if you want: http://nl.twitch.tv/cynba1/b/328514518, they both are between 0:30:00 & 0:43:00. seems to be no audio though :g:)

Anyway, first set of drakes always seem to go down when they should, first time they land. But both second & third set we always have 1 drake flying back up again.. think this is where we need to step up, now we spent too much time in P1. There's ofcourse the need of improvement avoiding the charges/soaking barrages but I feel the dps on the drakes is the main issue now..

[Switchback]

Overall things were better yet we had issues with some of the ranged dps.

It was pointed out that night and we had people new and newish to it so hopefully bit more practise then that dps will up and therefore push us to phase 2 quicker.

Charges are still an issue we lost the same people to them time and time again.

Bit of tidying up and its going down

[Sithvid]

Sorry I know I didn't put in a great performance it was my first try but I will do better next time hopefully we will get there tonight ?

[Switchback]

For your 1st try you did better than others mate ...

So we will be on this mofo on monday....lets get him down

[hermioneg]

for swed....

This is my new macro for adds...seems to work fine


/target Twilight Elite Dreadblade
/focus
/cast [@focus,exists,harm] Living Bomb
/clearfocus
/targetlasttarget
/target Twilight Elite Slayer
/focus
/cast [@focus,exists,harm] Living Bomb
/clearfocus

this is for melee adds only.... then ive a macro for target sapper.. i target drakes manually

[TeaLeaf]

I'll be honest, I target Drakes & Dreadblade by macro, not the Slayer.  My logic is this:

Drakes are a prio, including from the elevated start, so I use a macro to correctly target the Drake at that point.
The same macro targets the closest Drake when we're on the deck and I then manually select the other Drake during casts.   I struggle to elevate my camera position sufficiently quickly enough if I do not use a macro here - I like a 'bird's eye view' to assist with barrage soaking, but this view makes it tough to also see the drakes, hence the macro.
Melee adds I tab target as they are close enough & visible enough to do so.
The macro I use (which you also have) then targets the Dreadblade if the Drakes are both dead, thus targeting the priority melee target.

I don't set a focus on any target for this fight.  The reason is that I cycle my Living Bombs around the 3 active targets.   When the LB on the first target needs refreshing I know that the second target needs refreshing and that the third target will need refreshing immediately after that.  My macro then immediately returns me to my priority target.

The problem with the above macro is that it focuses LB on melee targets whereas the priority is on the Drakes.  Only one melee target should have an LB whilst Drakes are alive, not both.

I just tab or click am i a total noob now?

[Slush]

I just tab or click am i a total noob now?

Yes. But you tab or click on drake first, which makes you a lesser total noob :flirty:

[Cynba]

I put a '/target Twilight Ass' in my target macro not too long ago, for the same camera issues

[TeaLeaf]

Another thought to add to this:

If you are using a macro to target the Dreadblade or Slayer, then you must be swing the camera around to see the Drakes.
..and...
If you can see the Drakes on your screen then you'll have trouble seeing the close by Barrage you should soak or the Charge about to hit you.
..and..
If you can see the deck clearly enough to see the Barrages and Charges, then you aren't targeting the Drakes as early as they could be targeted.
