I want to kill Durumu on

I agree, it's doable. Here
Scaron — Wed, 06/05/2013 - 10:02I agree, it's doable. Here are some suggestions / clarifications that will make us kill him more quickly.
1. EVERYBODY needs to understand light phase. We're rocking about 85% understanding on about 90% of the mechanics. A single person who fails to understand the mechanics can easily wipe us on light phase. That means EVERYONE needs to know what to do. Here's how you manage light phase.
2. Maze phase. This is the phase that is killing us like crazy, and to be really honest, that's silly. Except (I think) for tank damage almost all other damage is completely avoidable. Moreover, standing in an eyesore for a tick won't kill you. Repeated fails do kill you. I'm happy that heals have figured out a way to blow CDs here to keep people up more easily, however, they simply shouldn't need to be blown, maze phase is a low damage phase. Healers should be able to regen mana during it and focus on running the maze. I'm guessing that our healer deaths here are partially coming from trying to heal people who take damage while they're trying to run the maze themselves. Honestly, we probably just need to stop keeping people alive who are taking damage. I have one tip for this phase:
3. Life Drain. On an average attempt, the Durumu is healing too much from Life Drain. Our mechanisms for dealing with it are fine. Usually we do well on it; however, we need for melee dps to never accidentially interrupt a beam close to the boss. When that happens, we're not prepared--and sometimes not able--to interrupt the beam. You will probably die and the boss will probably heal a lot.
If we can do these things properly, we probably won't even have to do our mad burn strategy on the third light phase, we could even just do it normally and kill the boss during that phase. To achieve this, everyone needs to know what's happening and execute their roles properly. Mistakes are going to happen, but for this fight, having 20 people who know the strategy well and 5 people who don't will result in a wipe 90% of the time. It's not a fight that you can out gear easily.
We just need to pay more
chaca — Tue, 06/04/2013 - 16:56We just need to pay more attention, myself included. We have what it takes, it's not a problem of healing, tanking or DPSing more, like other fights we've got stuck on. This fight is all about being aware, paying attention to your sorroundings, to your toon and, most of all, to what DBM is telling you. We didn't get a kill last night because we died on avoidable things, because we didn't pay enough attention, again, myself included.
Last wednesday we brought our AAA game and we accomplished amazing things... yesterday we brought BB+. If we wanna have a change again tomorrow, we need to bring our AAA+ cuz we need to down 6 bosses, wipe as few as possible and pay more attention to Durumu's mechanics.
As Atar said, totally doable.
It's totally doable.

Ok. And now for something
Painhax — Mon, 06/03/2013 - 23:01Ok. And now for something from me.
I missed raiding with downfall . And atar and others. Its like a family of people who love to do what I do. I was always proud of what we accomplished and what we will accomplish.
Now . What I say may not be the way some look at it. But this is how I feel. I always do my best and I know we all do and sometimes things don't work out. But I know we can focus more. I'm not the best and I will never claim to be. I love learning and I love the way atar can get on your shit because it push all of us.
It is a game but no one wants to be stuck so in a way we have to be professional to achieve all of our goals to continue to enjoy it. If anyone needs help with anything I will try or listen.
I'm happy to be around and I want the best from all of us. And ps. I play with my mouse backwards because of my disability so try new things if you have to. Push yourself. <3
