Which fight is captain planet

Ascendant council. After dropping all 4 elemental to 25% (well, 2 of them), they merge and form a big bad elemental boss.



And while we are at it, is there any reason to bother with the debuff mechanics in the first phase of Ascendant Council encounter? My guild just dispel them right away and zerg the boss down.


[edit]
About that fight being easier on 10m, I can imagine certains mechanics being harder (chain lightning), but losing a single dps to random ice lances (or anything) meant a wipe at ~3-5%. I'm not sure how many death you can afford on 25, but the fight still gave us lot of trouble.

I know how AC works, I just related captain planet to pollution first I guess.

I normally just dispel asap, unless I know Aegis is coming then I will leave Heart of Ice on a ranged to help burn it down quicker.

Yeah, that's pretty much what we do (or are supposed to do). I just thought it was weird to have a mechanics that can be ignored completely.

You're essentially dispelling a massive dps boost to your raid (at least in 25m)

[Arvin]

Yeah, you can't really afford quick dispelling those in hardmode. You need to establish where each debuff goes and have people call out when they've distributed the debuff to the different dps groups. It's probably really bad practice if you get into the habit of dispelling it instantly.

dunno if anyone can help but I was bored so made a warlock last night for fun and I'm having issues with the pet. Passive doesn't work (it will be clicked but the pet will still fight whatever I'm fighting), and the attack button won't work (pet is stuck as defensive so won't fight until I fight).

I logged out last night figuring it was just a glitch, but it's still that way this morning. I did a dungeon on my hunter today, and it was fine, so it's only the warlock that's doing it.

known glitch? or anyone have this happen to them and know how to fix it?

[edit] "move to" doesn't work either. It will give me the green target but when I select a spot the pet doesn't go there.

If it's anything like starting a new hunter is now, you can't actually control your pet until like level 10.

well now I feel like a dumb fuck. bartender still gives you the pet bar so didn't think of that.

So... our DK tank is tanking Onyxia, and randomly gaining mass loads of threat on both the adds and Nefarian. Any idea how he is doing this? No Dancing Rune Weapon, normal tanking rotation, no taunts, etc. I just saw him grab Nef and 4/6 adds rather quickly.

[Plow]

Healing threat.

10m and normal mode for me. I can imagine needing it for hardmode, but in 10man, losing 1 dps for a few seconds to boost 2-3 dps is hardly worth it.

Got a pair of [Grips of the Failed Immortal] the other day. I have no idea what to even ask for them. Comments on the page say they got anything from 18k-25k but that's for different servers. Can anyone give me an idea what to judge the price on?

I've had someone say they won't pay more than 6.5k for them here on Skywall. That just seems so low compared to the prices mentioned on the comments. Don't want to screw myself out of money. First time I've ever gotten a purple drop.

[Odon]

Start at 20k, drop price by 1k until it sells.

[Cephius]

There's no downside to listing it high, all it costs you is the deposit and some time. I'd start at 30k and work your way down. Not like there are many options for dps cloth epic hands out there, looking at wowhead the only other one outside of T11 drops off Cho'gall.

Does anyone know of an addon that allows me to move my Corrupted Blood/Sound bar? They are right under my action bars...

someone suggested "BetterPowerBarAlt" to me the other day. We don't raid til tonight so I don't know 100%, but its supposed to let you move it as well as give you a numerical overlay as well.

Other suggestion would be to just pick up MoveAnything as it now lets you move the bar as well.

Theres still [Flamebloom Gloves] from earthen ring faction rep too.

I downloaded MoveAnything but I couldn't figure out where the chogall/atramedes things where listed, the comments on curse said it was out dated so I thought maybe it was that. I'll try BetterPowerBarAlt tell me how it works for you.

As far as the gloves, I'd take what you can get. Flamebloom are easy to get and so are T11 hands, I know as a mage I would rank them T11 (2 piece + magmaw legs) > Failed Immortal > Flamebloom but I sure wouldn't pay much for the failed immortal over flamebloom.

According to Rawr, the Failed Immortal are only about a 12 DPS increase over my Flameblooms. I imagine it might be a tough sell.
