We've been on break from scheduled runs for about a month now.<br /><br />It's disappointing to not be making progress in Ulduar, but there's always something else to work on. I looked at it as an opportunity to get some practice and gear on my other tanks for when everyone gets back.Ragarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312223195450251337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-1143083113689008992009-07-22T13:55:39.862-04:002009-07-22T13:55:39.862-04:00@Fred

Here's h...Flame Lev + 4 is both easy and hard. Here's how we do it:<br /><br />1 bike, you don't need any more.<br />2 siege engines<br />2 siege gunners<br />2 demo drivers<br />3 demo gunners<br /><br />You have one demo designated the launch machine and you start off with one ranged dps loaded into catapult and the second in the gunner chair. As soon as the fight starts launch, when he's ejected the bike picks him up, heals and returns to the demo and as soon as overload ends your gunner loads into catapult and is launched and the bikes passenger is the new gunner.<br /><br />One siege engine gunner is designated pyrite shooter, the entire fight he just shoots down pyrite. The other kills all the lashers, paying special attention to the demolishers.<br /><br />This fight is entirely about the demolishers dps from pyrite. Both need to keep the 10 stack up 100% of the time, even when being chased. Boost very liberally to new spots...down to 30/50 pyrite? Boost to a new spot to get more. Being chased? Boost, turn, refresh stack, and turn and run more.<br /><br />The demo driver who launches the ranged dps has the hardest job in the encounter.Nuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403557430874732558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-62472123696389739552009-07-22T13:11:28.235-04:002009-07-22T13:11:28.235-04:00Happens to all of us, like you said.

We were also wiping on "farm" bosses (25m), and it got frustrating so it's probably good for us to take a breather. I know that there will be a ton of people back once the fall comes around and things settle down.Adlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835176243372633738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-61833288821038724452009-07-22T12:22:41.125-04:002009-07-22T12:22:41.125-04:00I think we'll survive the slump. Unfortunately...I think we'll survive the slump. Unfortunately you guys had no other options left for a 2nd healer but me. And I'm not quite geared or "seasoned" enough for the hardmodes. <br /><br />While I hate healing meters, I did noticed that I was carrying 39% while our resto shaman was at 50%. It's more of a gear issue than anything and if there's one thing that's hardly been dropping in Ulduar, is casting leather items or weapons. <br /><br />Hopefully, my gear curve will pick up or Black will be back and you all can continue on the hard mode ventures.Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944722986881594862noreply@blogger.com
