I really like the set up with you off healing and me tanking for a couple reasons that you sort of outlined but I wanted to emphasize...<BR/><BR/>the first thing is when the melee sheild is up yes a druid CAN pick him up with moonfire but since my spell damage in my tanking set is ZERO this also doesnt prove to be very easy. I imagine it is not much more effective than when you are auto attacking when the spell sheild is up. I did pick him up this way once but it did require four or five spams before I had enough aggro on him to peel him off of the healers. So I feel your frustration.<BR/><BR/>The second thing as a druid in this fight... this is not a melee dps friendly fight. If we are on the main target the consecrate combined with blizzard and flame strike means a lot of aoes. not that it cant be done but the fewer melee the better.<BR/><BR/>so now more on the druid / pally tank in his holy gear combo. the biggest thing that you mentioned that I want to emphasize is that this frees up a healer. the rogue doesnt hit hard at all and thus you had no problems keeping me up. we basically free up one of the main healers in this fight rather than having to get a main healer cover another tank. perfect! but also with you healing me (I think it was your prot first holy second nature) you were right on the stuns for when the melee sheild was up. This I found to be much better than moonfire spams then I could feral charge taunt and hold him this way till the sheild was gone.<BR/><BR/>While I understand the frustrations of being benched becuase "youre not the best class for the job" (druids have it far worse here in BC.. you wont see Icarus main tanking illidan ever unless we decide to work out a shear rotation) I think this combo worked too well and benefits the raid exceptionally becuase basically we just cover each other and it also has the benefit of freeing up a healer and reducing one more melee aoe soakerIcarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806711234313437504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-2526835968870841862008-09-19T22:32:00.000-04:002008-09-19T22:32:00.000-04:00Congrats on the kill and /pat about having to 'sit...Congrats on the kill and /pat about having to 'sit out' as a healer - our Paladin is our Main Tank(tm)(we didn't have more than one warrior until recently) and even he has always had to heal on Teron :(<BR/><BR/>"I thought Stoneform removed the poison?"<BR/><BR/>Usually, yes, but as I found out - a lot of the 'poison' in Black Temple ignores this and cannot be removed by Stoneform. Sort of defeats the purpose of having a it as a racial if everything is just going to ignore it anyway eh?<BR/><BR/>/hug<BR/>/vanishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
