5. Notes

  • We haven't done Professor Putricide for a while and we got him down on our second go. Awesome work.
  • First rescue of Valithria Dreamwalker. More awesome.
  • First ever look at the blood council.
  • Furgin and Atlassia both hit exalted with the Ashen verdict.

    • 8/12!
    • One of our most decisive Rotface one-shots
    • Great work on the slime puddles by Atlassia
    • I really should be attacking those green oozes from the front so I don't end up on the other side of the room from the stack-on point
    • One thing I didn't know until it started affecting me badly: those brown gas puddles don't just tick DoTs and explode, they also apply a 15s debuff that reduces your hit chance by 75%. Not pleasant when you start missing three Envenoms in a row.
    • According to this site, there's only one better off-hand dagger that drops outside hard-modes (and that drops off 25-man Valithria. Unlikely). That might explain why I was so happy.
    • I don't think our victory over Valithria was particularly convincing, but a kill is a kill. We'll get better.
    • Blood Princes looks like it's going to be another Rotface-like encounter: we need to get a bunch of fiddly mechanics sorted out, and once we do we'll be able to stomp all over it.

      Massive mechanics on BP but just need to sort as you say. I was utterly confused the first couple times as hoard on how to do that one and still mostly confused.

      If I read that right range dps needs to "bring" those (one) purple balls to the tank and have the tank hit them to grant the 35% less shadow damage.

      I made a mistake grabbing like 4 and running around.

        aha, it was you that had me going "Noooo oooorrrbbbzz.. come baaaaack!"

      Actually, in regards to Valithria, I don't believe there can be a 'convincing' win, due to the mechanics. There's no '10%' enrage to heal/damage through, there's no race to climax, there's no point where Heroism/Bloodlust will actually help.

      You can either win or lose, and not with a bang, but with a whimper =)

      1. Jul 23, 2010

        There's a soft enrage when you hit the point where mages and skeletons are streaming in too fast to kill, apparently starting at the seven minute mark. That's what killed us the first time.

        The impression that I was getting near the end of our successful attempt was that we'd lost control over the adds. I think we'd lost our rhythm and weren't getting them down as smartly as we should. It felt like we'd only scraped the win in by seconds, even though WoL says we were only 5'30 into the fight.

        1. Jul 23, 2010

          hm, that would be more a healing issue then if we were tending towards the soft enrage. Damn you healers, hps faster! =)

          I feel so useless as a disc priest on that encounter.

          (not so useless to respec though =))

          1. Jul 23, 2010

            Im going to respect to holy away from my pvp disc for offspec. Just in case at some point we would need 4 heals. rofl

      2. Jul 23, 2010

        Actually there is a big point where Heroism will help but it is the healers call not dps. Assuming you have a holy pally going in to dream stake every time and prob another healer then after the 3rd timeas soon as they come out pop Heroism, pally pops wings and then does LoH, and spams the crap out of holy light. At this stage with the healing buff stack a pally can be healing for 100,000k+ a second while Heroism is up. A pally should always beacon Valithria and then just stand close to her and spam holy light on themselves non stop only stopping to go in to dream state. The ads can actually be solo tanked if dps burn mages quickly enough.

        The whole encounter seems to be designed around a holy paladin Smile
