Strat Thoughts salmon?
Scaron — Wed, 06/09/2010 - 06:37I'm not sure if it's worth it to post this here...I think about 10 people read this. But, I'll do it anyhow.
Deathbringer strat: I've been thinking about it. I know there was some talk about a different add targeting system, and I wanted to mention this last night on vent, but there must have been vent lag and I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
I'm of the opinion that we should not change from the add strat we were using last night. My reasoning is this: by targeting the adds "away" from you (that is, on the other side of the boss) you a) buy yourself more time to kill the add--especially important if you are in the front "row" around saurfang and b) make knockbacks more effective thus enhancing the chances that we kill the bitch.
I understand that it may be hard to target the add you're assigned to. You may need to get another mod to handle this. I've been using enemy nameplates ever since Putricide Easy mode because it was positively essential to be able to target slimes fast, and I'm of the opinion that this helps targeting substantially. This improved for me when I picked up the "TidyPlates" mod (thanks Theano). TidyPlates gives you a visual indicator if you have pulled aggro on a mob (boss or otherwise) as well as if you are close...all by the way the nameplate looks. Plus the nameplates are easy to click to select your target.
If you're not using enemy nameplates and you're dps, now is probably the time. I don't care if you use the default UI nameplate or use a mod to customize, but you'll probably be substantially less useful if you can't target the correct mobs on Saurfang.
I don't understand the argument that you can't see the mob and thus can't target it. This seems like a camera angle issue. Do a /console cameradistancemaxfactor=5 or whatever and make it so you can see the other side of the boss. my UI game screen is only about 6 visible inches (I play at about a 1.85:1 screen ratio) and i STILL have no problem targeting adds.
I'm not, like, upset about this, I just think that the strat we used last night is probably one of our best bets and we just need to make some minor tweeks to UI's and so forth to make this work.
TL;DR: If you can't target your blood beast. Get enemy name plates and maybe a mod called TidyPlates, and use /console cameradistancemaxfactor=5.
I think what we had last
Atar — Wed, 06/09/2010 - 07:37I think what we had last night was right idea, but we need to ajust a few things. With 4 mages I'm thinking of 2 groups with mage/warlock and 2 groups with mage/hunter and then of course the druid/shaman group.
Lets hope Theano is here tonight and that will help out so we can go with one more ranged dps spot. Maybe Resq shadow or Cele moonkin with help.
I'm really looking forward to tonight. It's going to fun figuring out what works for us. We can be 9/12 HMs tonight!
Atar, I like switching up
Scaron — Wed, 06/09/2010 - 08:00Atar, I like switching up groups so that there's one "blinkable / portable" member in each group. Then we can put that person in "front" so that when the add gets to them they can port, if necessary, and the other person can finish the add off.
Ya, I've read about Tidy Plates...
Netti — Wed, 06/09/2010 - 07:20I'm going to install and try them tonight. I'm also gonna change my position slightly so I'm not in a direct line with the boss and the beast I need to kill.
