Kitten Brigade - Ulduar
Raid Zone:
Ulduar (and maybe Wintergrasp Raid)
Kitten Brigade re-enters Ulduar.
Seeing as how our first night is typically Flame Leviathan thru Hodir, I have a few suggestions for things for people to get ready for.
Possible hard modes this week:
1) Flame Leviathan w/ 1 Tower Active.
2) 4-minute Ignis kill.
3) XT002 Deconstructor hard mode.
4) Iron Council hard (or "medium hard") mode.
5) Possibly Hodir hard mode.
None of these have been verified by Garreth, but we'll be looking at them sooner than later.
Be ready!

For Heart dps here you go:
Someone can probably punch the damage/dps into Excel or something and get a chart out of it.

1) Flame Leviathan 2 Towers
saedo — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 11:001) Flame Leviathan 2 Towers maybe? But I kinda doubt Mimiron's tower is best for us. Fire trails, more vehicles around. Entire chunks of raid getting cut off. Or we could do 1 Tower, but with a different one, just to experience the tricks of it.
2) Just need more dps. No slacking. Flasks, foods, pots.
3) XT hard mode is probably doable. In a sense it's an easier fight than normal mode. Structurally. Damage goes up, dps needs to pick up. People need to run to the right spot. But no more adds to deal with after the first wave, so that part of the complication is out of the fight. So hard mode is more of a gear check.
4) Switch to Pudo tanking Steelbreaker (edit: damn, get him in by IC hopefully). Self cleansing takes the whole someone needs to cleanse the tank or he dies a horrible death with one fusion punch tick out of the equation. The fight for the most part remains very similar. But again damage goes up, so good luck healers. When it's Steelbreaker's turn, it's a dps race. We have maybe 60-180 seconds to kill it cause he blows up the tank one by one, think Vael. But each death also heals him for 15% of his hp, and that's any death from anyone in raid. Gotta burn through it all.
5) DPS race again, need to probably pass Ignis and Cheese the Freeze to accomplish this, and Getting Cold in Here too to help with the sparser healing.
6) Along the way, probably Kologarn's Disarmed would be easiest to do. Auriaya.... eh, seems like too much trouble atm still.
duo towers
h4mm32 — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 12:20we zerged through the mim's tower the fire tower in a pug on sun, no turret destruction just strict dps, it wasn't bad at all im sure we could do mim's and thorim's with a little work
Leaving up two towers adds an
Shihli — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 12:24Leaving up two towers adds an additional 50% to Flame Leviathan's health.
Everyone also takes 1% vehicle health as damage every few seconds due to Thorim's tower.
Pugs can zerg 1 tower, they can't zerg 2. We need to learn the strategy (there's a very VERY distinct one to use) to actually do more than 1 tower.
yea
h4mm32 — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 12:28which is why im saying if a pug can do it, if serenity can do it,without killing turrets, we can do two towers killing turrets. i have faith and we're all good players im open to w/e towers TBH. im just saying the towers i've had the easiest experience with are thorim and mim,
On their own, each are
saedo — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 13:09On their own, each are decently easy. But combined is an added complexity.
Just to re-iterate the Towers do:
I think instead of randomly picking vehicles, we might want to start dealing with ilevels. If the 10 man strat can be extrapolated, this could be the priority given to highest ilvl geared people
Course hopefully everyone can play those vehicles, and allowances made to the people being launched.
And here are notes on what ilevel does:
I just got called in to work
Epatrick — Tue, 06/02/2009 - 10:55I just got called in to work for the third time in five days...I don't know if I'll be home in time for raid. If I'm not on by 6:30 replace me.
