Last night as we were getting everyone into Naxx , several of us were typhooned/feared etc INTO the instance portal.  It happened to me at least twice.  We joked about it abit in raid and someone even made the comment 'stupid horde dont realize they are typhooning me the WRONG way.'

Well guys, it's a griefing tactic and I wanted to bring it up here before it happens to YOU.

Naxx is an odd instance in that it doesnt save you to a raid when you kill the first boss.  It saves you ON ENTRANCE.  Griefers are hoping you are not saved and not yet in your raid.  If you are unsaved to an instance, and not yet a member of raid - you could very easily lose your shot at naxx for the week as once you zone in you get a raid instance number.  If it's diff to that of your nights raid - you are hosed.

I predict if it's not patched, next tuesday, when no one is assigned an instance yet - w/o proper precautions this could be huge, that is - if it doesnt happen to a guildie before then.  For safety safe - be in raid before you even fly to the naxx stone area.

If you are in a 25 man raid and the instance is not set for heroic and you get zoned in - you could be saved to a 10 man if you havnt done it yet for the week.  I hope this did not happen to any of us last night  unknowingly

Due to the lack of ranged DPS we are looking at right now I wanted to give some of us a backup option.  Naxx 10 if the 25 is not going to happen.  Would love if this was just Fam Aggro people but will take anyone to get in and grab some gear and badges.

So I've been reading up on Sartharion-10 man, 3-drakes.

Seems that many successful groups run with 3 tanks, 3 healers, and 4 dps.  The idea is to get Tenebron to ~30-40% before Shadron lands, and ultimately kill Tenebron before he spawns two sets of whelps.  Once Tenebron goes down the dps moves to Shadron, burns him down ASAP.  Then they enter the portal, kill Shadron's disciple, then head up top and kill Vesperon.  Once Vesperon is down, they hit the portal and kill his disciple, then kill Sartharion like normal.

This sounds like a decent enough plan to me, however I want the rest of my Lava Crab crew (and ultimately, any other guildie that is interested in the future) to start compiling notes and thoughts here, to see if we can't streamline our strat so that next week, we can enter Sarth-10 3-D and down it, and be the second (I think) guild on the server to do so.

So here's what I was thinking.  Here's the typical "Lava Crab" raid setup:

Tanks:
 - Nuitarin
 - Necroshiliac
 - Hbk (for this fight)

Healers:
 - Karvinen
 - Moriella
 - Zildo

DPS:
 - Disrupta
 - Saedo
 - Luminaire
 - Quisjaa

My thinking was this:  Karvinen on MT heals, with a Beacon on the drake tank (Necroshiliac).  I should generally stay within 40yds-ish of Nuitarin, who will be Sarth tanking.  Zildo will be raid/flame-tank (Hbk) healing.  Moriella will generally stay on Nuitarin, with support heals on everyone else.

The other option would be to have Mori be CoH specced for this fight and have him raid heal, and have Zildo be another MT healer.

As far as killing the adds is concerned, we wouldn't "focus" on it much - when adds start getting a bit out of control, Hbk would call for an adds round, and myself and Quisjaa would move close enough to Pestilence, Blood Boil, and Death-and-Decay the adds.  That much AoE would generally be enough to kill them.

Anyone else have any ideas?
