Good Night
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:51 am
Sorry I had to take off early tonight folks, but I have to say that it was a productive night and it was good to see so many new and old faces on. Our participation numbers are getting close to the 25-man threshold. Our healing, tanking and dps have all geared up a bit lately and I think we've got a solid grp of ppl. Hopefully this trend continues.
I wouldn't be too discouraged by the faction boss. It's gonna require a bunch of attempts on 25-man. It is arguably the biggest change in fights between 10 and 25 man because of all the new abilities that are available to this boss. Apparently some raids have one disc priest basically dispelling the whole time (CC's, lock dots, etc). Most go for shadow priest/holy priest/druid or pally healer for their first few kills.
I wonder if we can setup differently. Clothies to one side with traps between them and plate wearers, who are slowing and damaging them along the way - giving clothies plenty of time to move if they need to. I'm too tired to think it all through, but perhaps positioning could help. If they don't have an aggro table, then making them move a lot to their next target (by being really spread out) can make a world of difference I would think.
A really good description of each NPC's abilities can be found here along with some strats:
