Since now I've really enjoyed tanking, mostly on Pally/DK. As you said, it really makes you feel important etc etc.
Now I'd like a chance of pace, as well as a ranged class. I'm not really a fan of hunters or locks so I was thinking about going the healer way and see if that's enjoyable.

Still, i dont want to stumble of a too comples to handle healing class, so anything that can be played a little "ezmode" would be perfect.

Healing is all about making a good raid UI, and keybinding a bunch of ability. In that sense, I suspect that all 4 healing class are very similar, even if the technicalities change. I haven't played any healer in cataclysm so far, but they all seemed to have the same amount of ability in their rotations, so the difficulty can't be that different.

We suck

How do we deal with the pack of 5 trash before the spider boss in Fireland?

Wiped several times on it (lol) before leader tells us we should try the hunter boss (Shannox I think?), but we ended up not being able to actually find the mob haha. Then raid time is over.

So far, no boss attempts. Can be considered a good "trash" run. Got 2 BS patterns and a 378 tank ring for myself. But we also had a (pug) "alt" hunter who has a "main" hunter who won the 378 polearm. We disallowed him rolling for some 378 mail wrists but he didn't complain. To be fair he got a pretty good deal out of us lol.

That pack might actually be the one that's bugged I think? Lots of people having issues with some pack before spider boss.

[Meresgi]

The bugged pack before the spider boss is the one with 2 drones, some hounds, and spiderlings, if the drones consume a bunch of the spiderlings they will destroy your raid AND they keep the buff for some reason. We had that issue and just ran in, blasted one of the drones down and ended up wiping. The drone respawned but w/o the stacks and no spiderlings respawn so then we killed the group easily enough.


Question: Is the new boss in BH yet?

[Siniroth]

Not till next week

• Occu'thar has broken free from his cage and presents an all-new boss challenge to players in 10- and 25-player arrangements who control Tol Barad. This boss will be available with the start of Season 10, one week after the release of patch 4.2.

Not expecting much of an answer here, but worth a shot. Anyone know any decent raiding guilds that run during the morning (8AMish) EST? My guild is basically overrun with Star Wars hype such that we couldn't even field a legit 10man today for what would have been our first night in Firelands. Since I live in Korea, I have odd playtimes, but finding a morning raid guild appears to be a tall task.

[Correction]

guilds that raid on those hours tend to be based in oceanic countries that play on american realms. On PST servers, anyway, the morning raiders all tend to be in singapore.

[Katlan]

I'll ask around on my server.. though I think Correction and I play on the same server. I know ppl raid at all random times of the day.

anyone know if Dragonwrath has multiple usable stages like Shadow's edge of Shadowmourne?

I'm asking cause of a dispute with Fireland BoE's, I'm first to get the staff but apparently I'm not allowed to loot anything else lol

I assume stage 0 is some statless weapon.

[Mortilox]

Ah, thanks. I did take a look around but was only able to find the finalized version.

[Tricen]

Did I misread or did Blizz say there going to put nromal mode t11 boss drops as justice points and and the normal bosses only dropped justice points or something to that effect?

Not sure where you got that. All I remember reading is that T11 normal boss will drop justice points.

[Tricen]

I must have been crazy then

[Guitarman]

How are you guys handling Beth'tilac? Our guild is kind of stalling on that one. I was thinking putting a pally tank pally healer and mage up top, and bubble/ice block destruction so they could stay up top and eek out a bit more dps.

Basically we're having trouble controlling p1, any thoughts?

[Arcana]

How my guild killed it, we kept finding that we wernt getting the drones down quick enough in p1 so we didnt send any dps up top, just nuked her down in p2, start slowly popped BL at 25 stacks its probably not recommended though, we only managed it because our healers are awesome.

[Mortilox]

Recommended order of bosses for 10 man?

We did Shannox and went to Alysrazor, huge mistake lol.

[Viq]

Shannox -> Beth'tilac -> Rhyolith -> Baleroc/Alysrazor seems to be what most people are going for.

[FailureMidgard]

Rhyolith is without a doubt the worst of the bosses on 10man...though maybe this hotfix they announced yesterday will change that though...I personally feel like Baleroc is probably the easiest of the fights, but if your healers aren't too bright then maybe not...Shannox/Beth are both pretty easy, yet I don't see the problem with Alysrazor 2nd either, I know guilds that have killed her first or second anyway.

[aurik]

Killed Rhyolith before the nerf and have to say it was way easier than Alysrazor. Ended up spending about 2 hours on each of them, got a kill on Rhyolith and on Alysrazor we weren't even fucking close.
