The_Rev Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 its for the three drakes mainly. They have an aoe called the shadow flame. its a killer. The cape makes it so it isnt quite such a killer. After a bit of MC from TRL, we got Hacksaw (the one from NWG that isnt Toastmaster) to Thralls chamber. Hows this for a bubblehearth? He was even indirectly responsible for the death of a low level undead who had followed us in. Apparently if you are neutral with a faction, you get hit by the cleave attack. And Undeads start neutral with Orcs, Tauren and Trolls.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramme Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Wonder if i will get Onyxia cloak. Do healers even need it on Neff? Everyone needs it on Nefarian - not having the cloak means instant death at the start of the second phase since Nefarian shadow flames the entire raid regardless of line-of-sight, range or whatever. Having the cloak mitigates the damage to around 600-1000 per person - easily healed. The cloaks actually aren't necessary for everyone against the three drakes - only the tanks absolutely *need* them, and they're useful for the melee DPS too.

Gramme Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Unless you stand behind the throne. Makes no difference. The Nef shadow flame takes no account of LoS or range, as I said above. His shadow flame directly is kinda girly, but the DoT will kill you if you don't have the cloak. Also, employing the 'hide behind the throne' strategy is totally impractical considering the way the raid needs to spread in phase 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 7, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 7, 2006 I was going from this (the bit for "Phase 2"). I haven't been there yet - and I've got ice block anyway. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramme Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I was going from this (the bit for "Phase 2"). I haven't been there yet - and I've got ice block anyway. :wink: I think the hiding thing was nerfed fairly recently, so WowWiki might be out of date. As for iceblock, it's a must-have for guilds learning phase 2 to counter-act the mage 'class call'; instead of polymorphing everyone nearby, iceblock will instantly remove the debuff which lets you get on with the important tasks of DPS and - in particular - decursing the main tank. You shouldn't waste it to avoid the shadow flame. I think the game is quite well structured in that you're very unlikely to be facing Nefarian without having Onyxia on farm (and therefore having an abundance of cloaks).

The_Rev Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 The Nef shadow flame takes no account of LoS or range, as I said above. . So its a bit like a Hunters aimed shot (only doing less damage ofc) then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Nice raiding build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 8, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2006 Went to MC for the first time last night. The raid was full of classes in blues with limited FR (just like me). As such, we wiped a few times on the trash mobs.... ... but still managed to down Geddon, Shazzrah and - with only 35 players left - Golemagg. clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Really well done lads. If you are getting as far as killing Golemagg (best loot in the Core ) already, then you really arent that far away from getting Domo down, and summoning Ragnaros (you do have someone to douse the runes?) Just hammer MC for a few weeks, gear up your tanks and have fun. Are you doing Onyxia yet? And the 20 mans? There is some real nice stuff in ZG, and the books in AQ are always welcome. time to start reading the loot drops and making a wishlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 8, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2006 Are you doing Onyxia yet? And the 20 mans? There is some real nice stuff in ZG, and the books in AQ are always welcome. Not yet for Ony, but doing the 20 mans regularly - which I am not often a part of yet :cry: Still lagging a long way behind some of the places you lot have been. And your videos are awesome, Rev! time to start reading the loot drops and making a wishlist! Sweet! Thanks for the link... .... though my chances of remaining a DPS shaman are pretty small.

Risso Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 .... though my chances of remaining a DPS shaman are pretty small. Yep, if I were you I'd respec resto now and get some practice in, and start gearing up that way. You're a lot more use in most 20 and 40 man raids you'll find. I'm currently 0/5/46 after spending most of my shammy life as an elemental 30/0/21, and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's not a great grinding or PvP spec, as damage output is obviously greatly reduced, but you can easily heal a five man raid, and will be in demand for all raids, and much loved in your guild.

ED Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 You were there for the glory, but that was some **** hard work. I'm knackered, was more relief then joy at the end. I didn't really enjoy the encounter. Back to the fun ones at the start now its reset though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
