Try this: you tank both of the dudes and let the other tank get keleseth. Having that much more hp really does make a lot of difference, if only in terms of healers having breathing room. Also whoever your kel tank is needs to basically never stop chasing orbs, they can drop one instant on kel once in a while to stay ahead of healer aggro but if there's another orb up anywhere in the room they should be chasing it. You can go from 4 to 2 in a hurry if you're not careful, and even 4 can be deadly if you catch two empowered casts back to back without a heal. Have hunters/rogues save tricks/md cooldowns (or at least organize them so that they're up in time) for Keleseth phase to prevent dps aggro, and just go easy on him otherwise. Mildly competent DPS aren't going to hit the enrage timer by going slow on him when they can go all out on the other two.

All 4 tanks have capable ways of grabbing orbs; Warrior can use assorted charge/heroic throw/stop and shoot gun, DK can IT or DC, Druid can charge or FFF, Paladin can reckoning, shield, judgment, etc etc. In terms of ease it goes like Paladin-DK-Warrior-Druid but they all work. The important thing is that whatever attack you use causes damage to the orb, or it doesn't fixate properly and will usually chase a healer down shortly after.

Just don't forget to low-rank your attacks so they're not doing a ******* of damage.

So 'Druid tanks are the best tanks ever' turns into 'Maybe, maybe baby' if converted through all the languages on that list?

That's pretty epic - baby.

How much health/armor do your tanks have for Blood Princes? Not the keleseth tank, the other two.


Aeth had 71k and Rio (Sgriob) 62k, if I remember correctly. With Kings, Fortitude, Feast and Commanding Shout. Definitely sicko numbers.

So Aeth would be tanking the two melee Princes and Rio (Warrior) would tank Keleseth? Can you Spell Reflect the lances? That would be win, but I bet not.

71.9k if I remember correctly
So make that about 75k after the upgrades I got, and I'm at 68% or so mitigation from armor and 44.8% dodge before buffs.

Edit: just checked, 68.82% self buffed. So that'll get to 69% with raidbuffs. (lol)

#2382 May 31 2010 at 6:42 PM Rating: Good
Aeth tanks the two simply by virtue of having more base armor/health. Being a bear also means he's not as good at gathering orbs so that works in his favor too.

And yeah, I forgot about the 20% buff...I was doing this back with just barely 60k health, you should have no problems with the buff Smiley: lol

Can't spell reflect lances, but it doesn't really matter. Rio needs to chase orbs with the occasional attack on kel right up until he gets empowered, then he holds still (ideally he'll have no less than 6 orbs on him and can stand for the duration) and generates his threat lead with any tricks/md available...get dps to stick to white attacks if needed, you can easily beat enrage just from dps on the other two bosses, don't get people killed just to maintain speed.

No way, I like my 72k hp :p

Gives healers more time to react, and their heals are 20% stronger too so it's not like it's causing excessive mana drain.

The 20% buff does not apply to damage, right? Right?! Smiley: bah

I don't get how I can do 6k in heroics, but 10m raid buffed and with a 20% damage bonus, I barely break 7k.

Our disco priest couldn't make it to the raid last night, so we had a shammy help heal. It didn't work as well. He didn't do a lot of healing, and we wiped a couple of times. We also had a hunter who isn't so good at target swapping. He did less than half of the damage of the other DPS on the slimes on PP.

tl:dr = I hate having to pug people. Smiley: frown

Getting my druid to 80 might keep me from staying all "let's get random rare mounts!" crazy on my priest. That takes so much time that there's not much left for the druid, though.

Speaking of random rare mounts: Why can I solo TFA, but can't even get to the first boss in MgT heroic on my own? I want that hawkstrider because I'm never gonna get the Anzu mount as a priest anyway. :(

I also want the phoenix, so I need to find people who want to run TK with me. MAZRA?

For that matter, I want all the TBC raid achievements. Doing Kara yesterday was fun. Oz was liek "whee, I'm not avoiding AoE, I'm being lifted up into the air! YAY!"

You should use your female persuasion on Aeth and get the Raven Lord and the Ashes from him.

Your persuasive techniques are lost on m-- boobies!

Yeah, Aeth pretty much said he'd do Sethekk with me once he's got his own Raven Lord.

No one knows when that will be.


He also said that KT is not doable with two people. Otherwise we'd do it. And I'm really not that interested in the rest of the instance, not beyond the first time anyway. I really want to do all the TBC raids again, or

He tried to solo SWP yesterday, weren't you there?

AND OMG, THERE JUST WAS A GIANT SPIDER CRAWLING OVER MY KEYBOARD! Either England has much larger spiders than the mainland, or it's the nukes underneath us causing mutations.

I'm getting used to the spiders here.

It's the snakes that bother me now. There was one in the leaf basket in the skimmer box of my pool. Went to pull the basket out and got a bit of a shock. It was only about 50cm long though. Then we had a 1m long Red-bellied Black Snake in our garage next to the internal door into the house (with a gap under it easily big enough for the snake to get through).

Apparently it is good to have the Red-bellies around though as they are territorial and keep the Brown Snakes and Tiger Snakes away (there was one of these dead on the road about 100m from our driveway a couple of months ago). That makes me feel soooo much better Smiley: rolleyes

Am I the only one who thinks that snakes and spiders are really ******* cool?
And while I agree that keeping some distance between snakes and you is preferable if you look at it objectively traveling to work or such by car each day is more likely to kill you than snakes are.

As for spiders, excepting the huge ones that are actually dangerous to humans... I don't see the problem.
Spiders are interesting and they look cool, plus they keep flies and mosquitoes away.

Yes. Though I don't mind snakes much either, spiders can go die.

That's fine, as long as they're doing it where I can't see them >_>

It's not the spiders, it's their little feet as they crawl up the back of your neck...

Plus when I was young I got bit by a spider and swelled all up and had to go to the doctor. That kind of thing leaves a lasting impression on you. Smiley: wink


Edit:

Also to finish off my "why I hate pugs" rant from yesterday. We also got to PP with several puggies in the group, he was down to 4% before he went back up and we wiped. Now I don't know tons about hunters but Kren's shot mix for the fight darn near pissed me off.

No aimed shot, no serpent sting, no chimera...

How the @#%^ did he get all that gear at all?

Man, I think I'd boot someone from my guild if I saw that kind of performance. He can be carried by some other schmuck, until he can prove he's doing more than just staring at his screen and drooling on his keyboard there's no way he'd ever be in a raid with me again >.>;

Edit: Well, I see you're talking about pugs, at least I'd never raid with them again if I couldn't completely dissociate myself from that kind of waste of space Smiley: tongue

Those with arachnophobia probably can't tell you exactly what it is, since the fear is irrational. I couldn't tell you why I get all panicky when I see one, I just do.

My arachnophobia has always been there, but to a lesser degree. It accelerated due to some incidents when I was younger, though. Woke up one night with a tingling sensation on my face, it was in the middle of the night so I just sleepily smacked a hand to my face to brush away what I thought was a strand of hair caught in my mouth. It was hairy and moved when I hit it, so I brushed it off and turned on the bed light, only to see a giant spider run down my bedsheets and another sitting right next to the bed lamp.

Later on I moved down into my parents' basement and it got worse (basement is partially below ground level). Came in one night and wanted to turn on the light so I instinctively put my hand on the wall to find the switch. Instead I got a good hold of a giant mother of those things. My arachnophobia had already kicked in something fierce by then, so this only made it worse.

Those are the two defining moments for me where I remember my fear of them growing. I've generally had bad luck running into the eight-legged buggers (take my loot luck and apply it to real life). I've run into spiderwebs with big spiders in them. I've accidentally hatched baby spiders all over myself. Once saw a spider move a cardboard box around and I've heard one scream at me.

Adding all of that to the various nightmares I've had including waking up in a bed full of spiders, having spiders hatch within me like some sick horror movie, etc., it's a miracle I'm not locked away somewhere.

When you live every day afraid of something, when you finally meet it, you tend to get a little panicky. It's not like I walk around and fear spiders constantly, but if I enter a dark room, the fear is there, tingling in the back of my mind. If I enter a room where I've encountered spiders before, my senses are on high alert. You should see me get the lawnmower from the shed (shallow and full of spiderwebs). Last time it took me 18 minutes to get it and I only need to take two steps in there and back out. Most of the time was spent convincing myself that I was perfectly fine and that I, for god's sake, shouldn't look up - which of course caused my fantasy to go ********

My mom's pretty supportive of it as she doesn't like spiders either (nor does my sister), but my dad thinks I'm a sissy. Mostly, though, I think he's annoyed because whenever a spider found its way inside, he was the one left to deal with it. And my mom's superstitious so she won't let him harm them (killing a spider means bad luck).

Me, I kill them without consideration. It's like the same reflex that gives you superhuman strength when you're trapped somewhere. I just grab whatever and smack the **** out of them. Assuming they're not too big and moving, in which case I depart from the room and avoid going in there ever again.
