Yeah, all that's missing is rate ups and it'd be like the OoT in one thread minus the drama.




Also, I've been listening to Black Gives Way To Blue by Alice In Chains for the past 4 hours or so.
It's a pretty damn good album.

I remember the rate-up thread in the OOT. Anyone remember how long the Friends & Lovers thread in the general forum was?

I miss Cap'n Omelette.

Wow, ToGC10 is tougher than I thought. Bit of a DPS race, innit? I mean, we had three healers (Shaman, Priest, Paladin) and their mana seemed fine. On our fourth and last attempt we didn't get Gormok down before the worms spawned so things turned ugly.

Anyone know why I took much less damage than the MT on Gormok? Yes, he started the fight, but we shuffled aggro every 2 stacks of Impale and I got him for the last bit, so theoretically we should've taken equal amounts of hits, no?

He took 841k and I took 620k. He's a Paladin and we're about equally geared.

Edit: Also, who told me to stack so much dodge rating? Seriously, I ran out of rage tanking a boss in ToGC. Is that even possible?

Maybe I will have to take 2 hours and rate everyone up in this thread! ('cept Aeth of course.. damn hunter lurkers >.> <.<

Depends on who started with the impale (though I'm dying to figure out how you managed to taunt at 2-stack; it's a 30sec debuff with 10 sec refresh, someone is inevitably going to get 3stack unless you have 3 tanks...), 200k isn't much when you account for that. Paladins also have a bit more avoidance than us afaik.

As for ToGC, yeah it's a REALLY tight timer. You either need 2 healers geared to the nines so you can bring an extra dps, or dps geared to the nines so you can bring an extra healer. We do it with 2 heals, but we've got rogues doing 8k.

As for how you ran out of rage, just how much dodge do you have? I'm pretty well off but I still have a full rage bar all the time. Which boss was it?

Makes sense, I guess we just go to 3 for simplicity -- the 2 runs the risk of a taunt missing, but then you're just at 3 anyway so it's not like WHOACRAPHEALZNOW like at 4+.

I may have to run that by my guild, see what they say.

Arex....the wife bought me xbox 360 and Modern Warfare 2 after much ******** and complaining. It's like crack....

I'll still be on for raid nights and such, but it's taking up a lot of my time right now.

Plus a lot of my real live friends from the army play MW2 and since they are spread out all over the country, I never get to talk to them.

Anyway. Gratz on getting the net back :P

Arex, the MT (who was also the raid leader) and I was in the boat with the Hunter on the snobolds issue, for sure. 3k DPS on the snobolds > 5k on the boss, yes, but 3k DPS when you've told the RL you did 5k+ isn't fun either. When you're already doing **** DPS compared to what you were bragging about, you shouldn't be pulling the attention towards yourself. And there was no need to either because two people were already shouting at the ranged DPS to take care of the snobolds. The MT had one on him during P2 which probably should've given us a warning of what was to come.

So yeah, the Hunter was right, but I really, really hate it when people tell me how to do my job. Especially Hunters who pull aggro. Not supposed to happen. It's called Misdirection and you should keybind half your keyboard to it for those /facedesk moments you seem to be having. At least that's what I was considering saying to the guy after he pulled aggro off of Acidmaw before I could pick him up.

Anyway, the group was doomed to fail from the beginning. One of our three healers had a snobold on him for the majority of P1 which caused him to die in the fire. Stun + fire = fail.

Aeth, the DPS put out 3-5k on Gormok. The fourth time the DPS dropped to 4k even for the melee DPS which consisted of a Druid and a Rogue. Most of them were pretty well-geared. The Hunter was the least geared of them all with the Rogue and Druid coming out in the top in full T9 crap.

I don't think I've got more armor than other tanks. Armor and health used to be the trademark of the Druid tank, but nowadays you have shields with crazy armor and Death Knights with armor modifiers as well. I'm sitting at 27k armor or so in Bear form. With both trinkets running I've got 41k or something like that.

You should transfer to Neptulon (Alliance side, of course).

Then you could show the scrubs how to do it.

So I took a a job working on a pipeline in the middle of the woods about 100km from Alaska border(Yes I'm Canadian). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is interwebs in the camp. Then I tried to log on to WoW. 2200ms...... No raiding for me for the next three months.

The usual groups for ToGC have 2.5 healers, as you really don't want 3 healers at Anub but it's good before that assuming your dps is solid.

Having an ele/resto shaman or a healing/shadow priest is optimal.

By the way, Pwnanza got server first ToGC25 one-shot the other day.

My chat window got spammed to the max.
