Avoid standing in the fire.

[Jodwahh]

That should solve it, ty lol.

10 or 25? I can't speak much to 25 man, but on 10 man the bottlenecks are going to be:

phase 1:
- can people avoid mines/shockblast/fire/sharing napalm
- are healers fast enough to heal napalm victims
- can the tank/healers manage through 2-3 plasma blasts

phase 2:
- can people avoid dark glare / rockets / fire / water bomb
- are healers geared enough to maintain high hps through the phase

phase 3:
- can people avoid fire / bomb bots
- is your ranged tank not terrible
- can your team fight a slow-kite fight

phase 4:
- ok now avoid everything, and did you do phases 1-4 fast enough to beat the enrage timer?

We're doing on 25s now and a fair few of the people already have it down on 10's but the problem seems to be with spacing mostly and people tracking flames all over the shop. I'm thinking the best way would be for the ranged to track flames on them behind where its kited from as much as possible . So yeah the biggest problem definately seems to be with where people are pathing flames to.

So is Sarth on 25 weak to damage or something, I had only ever done voa before and did like 3300 tops (only did a few times though) and then did 4300 on sarth today and it was my first time doing it. Maybe the raid layout just gave me better buffs.

class? spec?

Incidental AOE hitting lava blazes can inflate DPS pretty quickly. Couple that with a different raid composition, with more buffs suited to your class, and dps numbers are much better. And then there's also the RNG.

Also Sarth with any group geared by today's standards goes down very quickly, and generally a shorter fight gives better dps numbers, as you have a longer % of the fight with bloodlust/heroism.

[Blarg]

I'm a rogue and didn't do any aoe, it's possible bloodlust was a big part as I don't remember getting it in voa before.

Another question. What is the general kill order for marked mobs after you kill the skull. I tanked on my dk today and saw a moon and a orange circle thing and wasn't sure which one was #2 to kill, it wasn't really a problem but I'd like to know what the most common marks are and if there is an established order.

[Norellicus]

If I need to multi-mark, I go skull x square for obvious kills, reserving moon star triangle circle for CC targets (where applicable)

Generally if I'm tanking I have all the marks hotkeyed and will just re-mark skull for each kill though

The orange looks more like a condom.

The orange looks more like a condom.

I know. so annoying. I hate when someone puts that shit on me in like BGs or something. GET THE CONDOM OFF ME

[Jodwahh]

The orange is obviously a nipple.

Possible to maco 2 spells when they have a GCD? For example

/cast Horn of Winter (Rank 1)
/cast Horn of Winter (Rank 2)

HoW 2 wont go off cause they both have a GCD, I'm trying to have them both go off in 1 macro, is this possible?

Many thanks!

But you'll have to push the button twice for that to work, just as a warning.

So i just started playing again. Last time I played was before there was even Ulduar. Can anyone explain to me all this crusader stuff? I guess theres new instances or something?

There's a new 5-man + heroic, and Call of the Crusader, the new raid. What's really different is neither instance has any trash, just boss fight after boss fight, and the raid has split into 10 man reg/heroic and 25 man reg/heroic. The new 5-man and its heroic is a great way to gear alts with ilvl 200/219 epics.

[Jodwahh]

Ulduar > T8
Coliseum > T9
Argent Tourny is a massive q hub like quel'danas was in TBC, with a 5 player e z moade free epic dungeon giveaway as well as 4 seperate raid lockouts: coli10, coli10 HC, coli25 and coli25 HC. The HC modes arent unlocked as of yet for anyone as you have to clear every boss in the normal runs to unlock entrance to the HC version. 3 bosses have currently been released in both 10 & 25 with a 4th being released this week. 3 Emblems of Triumph drop from every boss, and flat basic T9 can be bought with token at the tourny from your faction vendor. In 25s you also get a Trophy of the Crusade that is used with triumph emblems to buy T9.5. In 25 HC tokens drop like in uld/naxx/whatever that allows the purchase of T9.75. Thats about it.

I just got my old account back, Lv68 Frost Mage. No clue wtf I'm doing but it's fun anyway. Up in Blade's Edge Mountains or something like that. FUCKING DINOSAURS EVERYWHERE.

Anyway, actual question was: Joana's Horde Leveling Guide still a viable "guide" these days?

[Resin]

Jame's Horde leveling guide or nothing!
