Hey guys,

I've been working on other projects recently and haven't been able to keep improving my gear through dailies and LFRs. That and the fact that I'm only available Mondays (progress nights) means my gear is falling behind everyone elses. That's really not fair to you guys, you deserve a player who can devote the time necessary to maintain a raiding toon.

Having said that, I'm not going to leave you in the lurch if you need a raid spot filled so I will make myself available and ready to go on Mondays at 6pm in case you need me. I have thoroughly enjoyed raiding with you all hope that I will continue to do so now and then.

Tankard, we love you and you

This is another thing you could try. Its more beneficial and slows them more for the same amount of time as piercing howl/faerie swarm. We use this method for PMS.

1. Have at least 1 warlock go Affliction.

2. Ensure they have Curse of Exhaustion Glyphed

3. Cast Soulburn: Curse

4. When Turtles spawn, cast CoE on Tortos/turtles to have the curse spread to all of the turtles.

You will get a 70% slow for 15 seconds, vice a 50% slow for the same amount of time. Should make a world of difference at the start. If you have multiple Aff Warlocks in raid, you could have one do this initially as they spawn, and have another do the same thing to the turtles as they are spinning around the room (if they arent dead) as the initial COE wears off and if it is near any other turtles or bats it can spread to them as well.

This can help prevent having the warriors trying to slow and getting knocked up in the air by the turtles, or getting hit by Rockfalls while trying to get close to slow them.

So I've been trying to do a

So I've been trying to do a little Tortos research. Here's a few tips and tricks I read that might could help us out if we want to try them.

1. Lancea tank Tortos at the beginning and build vengence. Before bats come down tank swap and Lancea pick up the bats. With high stack of vengence bats go down quicker, and better threat on bats.

2. Warriors Piercing Howl as turtles come out.

3. Faerie Swarm to slow turtles by the druids.

4. If worst comes to worst I could go BrM and we try this

Couple things. 1. For the

Couple things.

1. For the turtle kickers:

/targetexact Whirl Turtle
/click ExtraActionButton1
/targetlasttarget

This allows you to kick a turtle without targetting it first. Helpful? Maybe a little, but it also lets you run to a dead turtle, keep dpsing live turtles kick quickly, and get right back at dpsing. We can't really afford much dps downtime.

2. I'm suspicious that we've been putting too much effort into dpsing whirl turtles in order. The first whirl turtle to spawn is important, but I think that bats may be even more important, and they need to die quickly. After that, I think we need to get melee to help out with the Whirl turtles. You may get knocked up but the knock up range is 5 yards and their hitbox is larger than that, substantially. If we can get less tank deaths due to less bat damage, we're going to be able to narrow in on a kill more easily.
