 We had a simple question today, about a heroic mode tank who got parry-gibbed by Sindragosa. Melee dps need to remember that whilst parry-haste is mostly off in ICC, which I wrote about in February, it is on for Sindragosa and Deathwhisper, but it’s really Cindy for whom this risk is real due to her melee damage hurting. Here’s a diagram to help your dps. June 24th, 2010 | 2 comments |

From: Boss strategies | Tags: achievements, guide, hard mode, icc, strategy To recap: the Lich King fight has three phases where you are in the centre, and between each of them are transition phases when you move to the edge. Moving between the phases also requires a strategy Each time you are in the center he gains a new ability or two like Spell “Soul Reaper” not found. whilst other abilities remain, like Infest. On the second edge-phase he spawns more raging spirits than the first time. The clever design feature here April 23rd, 2010 | Visit our forum to comment |
From: Boss strategies | Tags: icc, lich king, raging spirits, strategy, tank, transition One of my favourite strategy bloggers, NER, has now done her Lich King strat. As usual, it’s written with the attention to detail that a raid leader needs. For example, on Defile and how to learn it. NER says everyone needs to have the Lich King as their focus, and must have the focus’ target shown in their UI. Here’s an extract from the strat guide. Defile has a 1.5s cast time (this is important) and when cast will drop ICC is now at 10%. A few topics related to this: 1. Eventually you can change gem strategy from stamina to avoidance, because you will simply have enough stamina. Wrathy has been talking about this for a little while. 2. Do you feel like its ‘easy mode’ at 10%? Will you feel ripped-off if you can’t kill a boss until 15%? Is the buff coming too fast? At 5%, Everblue calculated the buff was worth about 4 seconds more on Putricide, which gave Posting here on parry-haste, the proc nerf and following me on Twitter. The other day I posted about preliminary findings which show ICC has parry-haste mostly turned off for the raid bosses. Theck’s confirmed that now, and my gratitude to the original writers Tbdsamman (parry-haste addon) and Clifton (wrote the log parser). Boss Can boss parry-haste? Marrowgar no Deathwhisper yes Deathbringer Saurfang no Festergut no Rotface no Putricide no Prince Valanar no Prince Taldaram no Blood-Queen Lana’thal no Sindragosa February 11th, 2010 | 11 comments |
From: Raid and 5-man guides, Tanking in general | Tags: avoidance, dual wield, expertise, icc, parry haste, parrygib, tank, theck 1. A clever nerd wrote an addon which checks if the boss you’re fighting has been parry-hasted. 2. Another clever geek wrote a script which parses logs to determine if parry-haste was seen. 3. Combined conclusion so far is that the only boss in Icecrown with parry-haste turned on is Deathwhisper, and possibly Saurfang. Read the thread discussing it and download the addon from links within.

I have an index of the guides from those sites most people use, plus have tried to include key posts from the blogging community. » continue reading January 20th, 2010 | 4 comments - (Visit our forum to comment) |
