[WoW] [Raiding] is way too easy
Posts
The melee are definitely always sitting a lot higher than the ranged... Maybe we'll try making sure no one has HL glyphed, and drop other things one at a time. It seems really tricky to balance enough passive healing to keep people alive while also not keeping them too high.
Oh and that reminds me. Is PoM okay in phase 3 because it's smart, or we should assume PC targets are getting healed up and thus PoM would be healing people who are low and shouldn't be getting extra heals?
yeah turns out the trash somehow respawned and were now killing healers. OK... no idea how that happened. next pull we tell the OTs to stand near the entrance.
Adds spawn but don't engage, they seem to be just standing there probably evade bugging. We wipe due to a bad phase 3 transition as a few people get cleaved.
Third try the adds spawn I can see them running in and they just disappears before they get close.
We don't use PoM, (OK, I probably shoot some off just out of habit occasionally) everyone should have passive healing of some sort to hold them just above death. JoL for melee/hunters; Glyphed Healing Stream and Vampiric Embrace for ranged. I keep Holy Nova Rank 5ish bound in case our Shaman dies (Healing group) and we lose Healing Stream for a moment.
they don't it be like it is but it do
makes sense. i have been doing ony pretty much twice a week since it was re released and never ran into this before
Thanks, much appreciated.

I get both of these type. Group A for 10-mans, Group B for 25-mans.
If you know some of the right people, there's some SERIOUSLY good pseudo-PUGs that run on my server. Usually for 10 man only though. There's been tons of times we've gotten Ony down so fast we've still got the 1st or 2nd add up and she hasn't deep breathed.
And then the 25 mans ......
The last one a few days ago, we were down to 10 people by the time phase 3 got settled and the dying had stopped. One of the DPS was laughing about us 10-maning 25-man Ony. Hilariously, it was the perfect mix for it too. 2 tanks, 2 healers, 6 DPS. Took AGES though.
We had one healer healing the tank and a Druid dropping hots on everyone and keeping me alive while I soloed 30-odd whelps some bunch of idiots had pulled while dying.
Was fun times though.
Like if they die to a deep breath, or they get tailwhipped into whelps and Ony wasn't moving when it happened.
Of course, it's made worse that most melee don't even stick to max range.
I've seen groups of people get feared into her face (cleave death) and feared into her tail (oh shit not the whelps)
It's hard to fault someone for getting fearfucked on ony.
Not fun times.

Doesn't do anything for if she breathes while turned, but I haven't seen her breathe during a fear so far, not sure if she just doesn't breathe right after a fear or if I'm just lucky.
thats why i specified stupidly
if someone dies to ANYTHING in phase 1 thats pretty much a stupid death
"Oh god! Oh no oh no oh no please god not the tail/face!"
*Miss*
... Whew!
Good job, you did phase 1 and 2 perfectly! Phase 3 is going great! 5% left!
Whoops one person got feared 3 feet too close to the cleave. Now everybody dies.
One of the melee wandered a little too close to the tanks, and now for some reason a bunch of the casters on the other side of the god damned room are dead.
Fun times.
Fuck that boss to hell.
Or the twelfth time.
Too true.
Vael actually destroyed my guild back in Vanilla.
We went from clearing BWL to not being able to kill Vael again. And then the guild died within about a day.
We'd been clearing BWL for months at this point, it was, as they say, "on farm", but after a smooth start, we hit a brick wall and spent like 2 hours on Vael. It didn't help that the raid leader decided to be a bit of a jackass to make a point, which I disagreed with entirely. I believe we ended up calling the raid, came back the next day and wrecked the entire instance.
That said, I was Alliance, and thus, hax*.
(Or at least Hax that Will of the Hax couldn't outhax)
Not that I was mad that I was tanking, I was mad that the two other guys who had been geared as offtanks failed so bad that I had to tank IN LIEU of them tanking.
Because one of them refused to use execute.
It's a very, very simple process on how you win the threat on Vael. You spam execute, and if you are next in line, you put heroic strike in your queue up. I couldn't convince either of them to do this because they said "Your DPS gear is better, you're going to hit harder."
It was execute. On Vael.
That's not how it harglebarglenow I'm foaming at the mouth again.
What? Vael got way easier once we had killed it once. He was a huge cockblock at first, since initially we didn't have enough raid dps.
Razorgore, OTOH... We still had trouble on Razorgore when we had Nef on farm.
Wow. Even I'm getting angry and I'm only reading about it.
Oh also our first Nef kill, where a resto shaman got the killing blow with her Aurastone Hammer because everyone else was dying and the RL yelled for healers to DPS to see if we could pull it out.
Razorgore was always easy for my guild. :whistle:
Because they had you, like, soloing the damned encounter.
Post it, Munkus. Doooo eeeet!
I remember how good it felt to finally have the gear (and trust of the raid/guild) to tank one of the corners as a rogue. All joking about rogue tanking aside, you really aren't all that healing intensive when shit dies about as fast as it spawns.
Edit: oops. I always mess up the names.
Now I mess up razorscale and razorgore. :oops:
Given the context of BWL, it should be obvious which boss I mean.
