Garreth. this is the probem

Barqz — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 07:37

Garreth. this is the probem with parses, they dont give you the whole picture, and well not being a dps you can only guestimate exactly what happens in the dps sector of things. My dps on solarian was lower than most because i was simply lying on the floor watching the fight after taking a 12k arcane shot to the chest (and of course my hleathstones where on CD with my pots at the time..) DPS lesson 101..only shammies can continue to pew pew after death..lucky totem rezzing bastards

also where is the windfurry love....i'm not daggers anymore..i miss my group 5

Ardea — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 06:57

Besides the DCs, I really need to work on not dying.

I was mainly using lifebloom which in the beginning was working well... Even though Ardea is an alt I would love pointers.

I had a blast as a healer... healing 25-mans are different from 10-man. Slightly different from mashing 2 and occasionally right-clicking sheep.

Derch, if that's going to be

Alydis — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 05:10

Derch, if that's going to be a big issue for you, use a mouseover macro for your hunter's mark so that you don't have to switch targets to put it up

Thats an awesome idea

Derchlon — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 14:09

Thats an awesome idea Alydis, I don't know why I didn't think of it before.

hella idea alydis. derch is

Grasen — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 06:48

hella idea alydis. derch is right bout alar though. i did put him on cracked out switch target duty for marking lol

Checked the parses more

Derchlon — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 03:20

Checked the parses more closely, and I was right. I spent 9% less DPS time than the last time we killed A'lar. It was probably the extra time I took to drop an imp mark on the melee targets during phase one and two. Ah the intangibles.

In my defense, I was doing

Derchlon — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 03:20

In my defense, I was doing more than just pew pew during those fights, especially a'lar. I guess if you're going to lawl about it, I could respec BM and start hitting 1k personal dps again no problem. :P

Even so, those numbers I got on A'lar are shocking to me.

Being a resto shammy, I

Dufe — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 01:04

Being a resto shammy, I don't think Tenbears is used to all of the usual melee totem setups. Might be worthwhile for someone to give him a breif rundown of what to do when he's in "group 5."

Looks at LF1Ms dpsers Imma

Dragon — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 00:36

*Looks at LF1Ms dpsers* Imma commin for you!

And yes, please take advantage of my Crusader Strike. HBK, raid/yell macro to scream Rejudge like bloody murder until the other paladins catch on :D

Why are we benchmarking ret pallies as the low dps again? we are dangerous with gear, its the getting the gear part thats hard :P

~Legendary Nobody

OK, new measure of raid dps:

garreth — Thu, 03/27/2008 - 23:59

OK, new measure of raid dps: If you're lower than the ret pally on damage meters, we all get to LAWL at you.

Al'ar

Why the huge difference in dps between your locks on Al'ar?

Watches, why are you the LOWEST time on target on Al'ar? If you were on target more, you'd be the #1 dps by a LONG shot.

Al'ar Owned By Ret Lawl Awards: Derchlon, Judgdredd, Shinso

Healers: I like the spread on healing done. Close is good. At first, I was a little alarmed at how low Tenbears was on this, until I saw that he's at 69% overheal (NOT A BAD THING!!!). He's obviously working his butt off and pump out the raw healing numbers he needs (funny how that happens when you replace spell damage gear for healing gear!). Good job, all of you.

However, big fail for not taking advantage of the ret pally in the raid: I don't see Judgement of light or wisdom proc'ing here.

Solarian

AoE should win this. Cory shouldn't be showing lower than single-target dps like Grasen and Red, though they are both a lot of man, respectively.

Way to pick up your dps here Judge. Morcia at 914 dps for a shadow priest is very good at this point of gearing, keep it up.

Solarian Owned By Ret Lawl Awards: Derchlon, Barqs

Healers: I think Tebears is finally getting the hang of the chain heal thing ;) Seth is a badass and I hope you guys bring him more!

Another fail on the pallys' part: No judgement of light. It's literally like adding another healer just by judging it, guys.

Looks like the logs are blown up so meh.

Overall, how do you feel you guys did as a raid tonight? I have a gut feeling that dps appears to be low. What do you guys plan to do to up it?

Well, take the group setups

saedo — Fri, 03/28/2008 - 00:33

Well, take the group setups into consideration too.

From what I can figure out, their G5 was: Roguered, Pulga, Judgedredd, Hbk, and Tenbears.

Another group consisted of Barqs, a marks hunter, a BM hunter, and a feral druid, at least.

I also couldn't find a trace of Strength of Earth totem, another fail! lol

WOOT I DID GOOD :) Live

Dufe — Thu, 03/27/2008 - 22:13

Parses are up. First LF1M parses under the new logging system, so parts of it may be a bit different than your used to.

OH NOEZ! OLD SCHOOL WOW NO MODS???

i'm skeered...

Correct. No raid

saedo — Thu, 03/27/2008 - 11:34

Correct. No raid warnings, no combat log noting, no boss mod warnings, not even VR looking funny at someone off in a distance. Have to watch orbs and run at the sight of em.

So, if I'm reading this

Dufe — Thu, 03/27/2008 - 11:31

So, if I'm reading this right, we will no longer have any idea who the orbs are going for other than watching where they seem to be going?

saedo — Thu, 03/27/2008 - 11:18

If you guys are doing TK, be aware:

Void Reaver
"Void Reaver
intentionally no longer targets or faces players that he casts Arcane
Orb on. This was done to fix a bug. There is a bug in that there is
currently no combat log message for him casting Arcane Orb (just the
impact message), causing boss mods to not work. This will be fixed in a
future patch. "

Can't make this raid. Going

Can't make this raid. Going to my girl's dance competition.
