Badfinger posted:Besides some of the raid-centric stuff in the OP, are there any addons that people really like or consider huge improvements to their experience or UI? I've been rolling without addons and without changing the layout and I've been thinking about making improvements. The "Roles" add-on. Switch specs, sort them in a pre-defined order, swap in equipment and wardrobe with one click. The "Mount Me" add-on for simplicity of using all those mounts and pets instead of just one.

OneEightHundred posted:Senticar was also gimped at pretty much everything, it was just less gimped than a dead raid member. What the gently caress are you talking about? Senticar had everything you needed as a healer and did everything well. - Single target heals? Check. - Amazing AE heals? Check. - AE damage reduction? Check. - AE cleanse? Check. - Best tank cooldown in the game (at the time)? Check. - AE interrupt? Check. - Reprieve? Check.

Everything is fine, we just need to: -stop standing in vanquish -stop standing in crash when eyes are up -turn away from molinar when people scream "TURN AWAY" -burn tentacles faster -stack harder for meteor/tentacles -not die after phase 2 starts Regulos is really easy. I don't understand how we didn't kill him last night. If you were having issues standing out of the red, go practice the last boss of Golem Foundry or something, it's really pathetic at this point.

We didn't get Regulos down either (because it was super late for most people and we just called it) but http://www.twitch.tv/kanetw/c/2984296 this was with several people who didn't do regulos before ever (probably the reason why we didn't kill it though) e: don't look at my dps in the other encounters i was like super tired and literally embarrassing myself

Everyone should have experience on both platforms now. Outside the first few pulls, the platforms were going pretty well. Spines are what need to get killed faster. Make a tar death macro, use it until all the spines/eyes are dead. If pets dieing was bringing out adds, that's a pretty major issue and explains a lot.

Me and Loracia have noticed that OGCD abilities do not go off sometimes, I think I have narrowed it down to animation lag on the previous ability, if I am still animating my previous ability taunt will not go off. But it's entirely too unpredictable if it will go off or not, I am about to give up and make another giant fuckoff kalert that shows me taunt's availability so I know when it's gone off. This has also happened to me with Reprieve. Zoness posted:Taunt? Check. BRez a tank, MoL, Taunt, self Covenant in rapid succession saved many a raid. Also it trivialized 2nd boss in RotP before we outgeared it. deimos fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Sep 24, 2013 |

I'm not concerned about someone who tanked Regulos for the first time wiping us on shambler. Add that to the first time we made it to second portals: me calling them out at the wrong time(zoness! ) cost us the wipe. Aside from that, I think a month + worth of wipes would be enough for the regulars to understand the basic mechanics. Nothing to be that angry about. We got him down another 25% from last time which is our first real progression aside from the first week. We've now seen all his abilities and just have to nail down second portals. The reason I'm bitter about what I listed is because it's really, really simple stuff that we shouldn't be losing anyone to.

More movement as we're doing means dps loss and less stacking, more deaths. I don't understand why we run to the other side. Can anyone explain what we are avoiding because it can be worked around. There is no need to move out on crash of souls. Power drain and heal through it. Low hps? Use an endurance vial or one of those 70 END rift consumables. No one should die.

So I've been messing around with my cleric. I noticed that you can equip a wand. But my character never sems to use his wand in any way, except to presumably gain the bonuses from it. Is there an advantage of the two-handed staff/hammer/etc. I normally use? If so, how do I use the wand? I spend most of my time at range, casting spells, so my melee weapon hardly ever gets used. Should I ever bother with those off-hand items that increase your spell power? Whenever I find one of those, I can never seem to find an actual useful weapon to match it. Even when adding both sets of bonuses, I always end up having better bonuses with just the single two-handed weapon I currently possess (particularly spell power).

For clerics, wands and weapons are purely stat sticks nothing is dependent on weapon damage. (edit: well if you go druid or shaman you get autoattack damage from your weapon but any hotkey you push is a spell cast not a melee attack, technically) 2-handed weapon has always been the best stats for me!

Decairn posted:Great a video of how am I used to doing it. More movement as we're doing means dps loss and less stacking, more deaths. The positioning we use gives us a shorter run to the portals, and we're still fairly tight on that phase. I think you're right about the soul crash, I've stopped moving out of it and haven't died yet, but I'm super tough and strong. We tried moving behind the tanks at one point. I like the idea but it just didn't work for some reason.
