I dunno it's just the thrill of it withotu having to flag

elindra SG

Maybe should test out that theory Twisted Evil

Nay I think I"ll just scorch all the way on Nightbane this time
No fireballs, No fireblast and I see what happens
If he still comes for me I can jump off the very top tower of Karazhan

elindra SG

Actually hor Don Don, my wish is that we have another regular fire mage in the guild

We have more fire mages = more rolling ignites = more dps
Also more fire mages = more ppl can dps whil 1 person keep or all help keep scorch up Laughing

the_don SG

think wand better. u might make nightbane hot n bothered, then he chomp u again Laughing

the_don SG

well, there is................... no other regular mage. unless u wan gadogado Shocked

$lave SG

that is sound advice. on our wipe night last week we started to have problems when mages get graved, i guess screwing up the nova rotations. furthermore, none of the mages are frost specced so we rely extensively on nova for snaring. 2 mages got graved=2 novas left. once we ran out of novas the murlocs just run around free hitting on 5-7 AOErs. we lasted maybe about 6-8 waves of murlocs before all the AOErs are down.

i suppose a prot pally is the obvious answer to rounding up the murlocs for easy AOEing but the RL is too resistant to the idea of having a pally tanking. i hope he takes to the idea of having tanks leading the 2 grps of murlocs to a aoe pit at least.

elindra SG

Shocked
But Aran never drop my wand again last night Crying or Very sad
You know I have been running Kara ever since it started but I never seen it drop before
At least Nom got his shoulders last night
I was telling Mal maybe we should swap raids coz the stuff he wants always drop in our group

Erhmmm I dun understand Gado
He is Crit specced but doesn't scorch
Anyway he is also hardly on
I just find it amazing that the whole guild really only have 2 mages. Laughing
I think Mal is happy there is another mage for him to talk too
I'm thinking of respeccing for scorch build so that I can make better use of my TLC and I can pvp too instead of deep fire, but my gear is not suitable for scorch build so I need more gear first
I talked to Frizz but he prefered to stay in TBD so that is really his choice.

Anyway last night was pretty strange
I'm not sure if the aggro meter was off coz I pulled aggro off Castell frequently even if I was like 4-5 lvls below him ><
Didn't have problems when mobs on Shiro though
I've not been dying for the past few runs but last night I died 6 times Crying or Very sad
Would be more but the healing saved my ass a few times

$lave SG

using KTM for threatmeter?

elindra SG

Yes
I was like 5th on Aggro but still pulled
Happened to me a few times already

the_don SG

i guess mal is enjoying the 'bullet train' n might not want to join the 'bus' for at least a while. but then if he already got most of his gear, u can ask to swap.. make sense mah

the funniest thing is we got 24 mages (estimate) that are in guild. more than priests, warr, lock, etc. but we only got 2 raiding mages... wat happened man hahaha Laughing

just let frizz be la. most impt is he finds a place he is happy in. still on same server mah, still can do stuff together. like last night our EOS run invited cenqeden's warrior, cap + others still v friendly with TBD/PLN.

humm castell... only raided with him once. ok la. so-so. drood does gain agro faster than war. but then again it depends on the war's skill. like vio vs T. Vio holds agro v well. T is good too but not as good as Vio.

btw cleared kara last night?

the_don SG

ya for thread.

but i noticed the stupid thing is buggy. so many times i see my agro below MT but i pulled agro or i'm above MT yet mob still hitting MT

elindra SG

Only cleared up to Aran

I'm starting to think that the 24 mages are alts Laughing
Seriously I hardly see any of them on at all that I wonder if they they even exist!

Actually I think Alph is not bad just that he don't raid as frequently
I think for the warriors sometimes they get lazy and don't continue to build aggro (I dunno I never play a warrior before) so if I continue to dps my aggro will catch up like last night I scorch all the way also pull aggro Sad

elindra SG

x 2 Evil or Very Mad
yesterday I was scorching and was like 5th and I pulled and died Sad

$lave SG

i think don’t rely on KTM too much for the Nightbane fight, since after every landing his aggro is reset so KTM will not reflect that. bosses that have some kind of threat reducing moves also is mostly not reflected in KTM too.

elindra SG

I try not too and wait for a bit before dpsing
And I use scorch but also pull aggro :O

I see my dps slide down the dps meters Sad and still pull aggro

Maybe I should just wand like Don said

Yvlaine SG

We dont really work on Frost Nova rotation to keep aggro off non-tanks. It relies too much on mages not being graved, or dead. Frost Nova is good for freezing them at a spot (aoe pit) for a short initial period. Tanks are expected to grab and hold aggro firmly from that point.

The warrior that holds aoe aggro best has Improved Thunderclap.

Yes, prot pallies work wonders here. We started our first few kills with a prot pally for one side of the murlocs. However, since then we've been able to do it with pure warriors for murloc tank teams.

Just make sure AoEers dont go psycho till 4-5 secs, allowing for tanks to grab and hold aggro well. The more the aoe, the lesser time spent on murlocs, the more the time on Morogrim.

Yvlaine SG

Hmm... Forums here seem quite desolate...

This seems weird to me, I thought SG forums was very well frequented and there are tons of WoW players in Singapore?

Guess that means few WoW players come to these forums or maybe they just cant be bothered to register to post, just like me previously. Shocked

elindra SG

That or they just stick around WoW Forums or their guild forums
Only crazy ppl like me go to all 3 Laughing

the_don SG

elyn.. our worse fears r confirmed. guess who and who will be in kara tonight? Laughing

i'm going for facial instead Mr. Green

elindra SG

Don Don I hope there is no Kara tonight
I dun think I can go through another fiasco

$lave SG

gave up on morogrim, went to try al'ar instead.

the aoe is pretty much perfected, even if the pally tanks can't get initial aggro. but our healers for some reason just can't manage the damage spike and keep the mt alive on morogrim and we were just wasting too much time on this boss. will probably get back to morogrim last.

al'ar on the other hand... is more controllable. phase 2 down to 30% after a couple of wipes, should get it down once people stop being stupid and start to avoid the flame patches. otherwise, pretty sucky week. but yay i get my 2nd piece of Gladiator gear tonight.
