Self Improvement… It’s really that important

February 16th, 2010 upyursh 2 comments

Without naming names or going into specifics, I have recently had discussions with a reliable raider who’s performance is not up to scratch. I thought that I would cover off my processes for identifying and improving my own performances and maybe you can take something from it.
As a raider it is imperative that you are [...]

Katjia Guest Post: Bear Tanking Festergut

February 12th, 2010 upyursh 1 comment

Stam, AC, Stam, Stam and maybe a little more AC. Did I mention Stamina?
When it comes to big ugly lumps of mutated flesh that hit for up to 30k, relying on avoidance stats which ‘make it a little less likely’ that you’ll take a few consecutive hits over any given interval starts to look a [...]

Introducing Katjia this is what he has to say about himself;
I’ve played a Feral Bear from Maraudon through Stratholme, Kara to the Black Temple [...]

ICC – Deathbringer Saurfang

Interesting mechanic, basically all of Saurfangs abilities grant him Blood Points (BP) when they do damage to enemies.
The key is to manage the amount of points he is getting because when he gets to 100 (you can see this by checking his energy bar) we will cast a Mark on a random raider. The victim [...]

So Phase 1 has 3 key things to worry about;

Adds are spawning the whole time, so [...]

ICC – Lord Marrowgar

January 6th, 2010 upyursh No comments

When we first did this fight I was left feeling pretty disappointed, he looked cool but the trash leading to him was 10 times worse

Phase 1

3 tanks are needed although only one needs to actually tank him
5 healers seem to be enough, with little spike damage going on it’s easy mode
Move from ice
Spread [...]
