I've done some more raiding since, so any tricky fights that are out of the ordinary would be appreciated.<BR/><BR/>One fight I got to try the other night is Malygos 10 man. I was pugging with the top guild in the server horde side so it seemed like a pretty easy fight, and I don't think its too difficult, just need proper placement of the sparks in the first phase and then pew pew after that. My questions for that fight are:<BR/><BR/>1) How do you see where sparks are coming from, for my first time in there it was really confusing trying to find these sparks that were flying all over the place, and with no DK to gather them up maly even got to eat one. That huge ass dragon is sitting in the way to see where they are coming from and then to top it off all the melee want that damn spark parked right on top of maly's hit box so it was tricky to maintain the buff while still being able to be at enough distance to pew pew.<BR/><BR/>2) How do you see those damn flying guys in phase two. I had a hell of a time looking up and trying to find them. Maybe a target macro would be in order, but I'm thinking maybe using assist would be the better solution. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of assist, I still haven't encountered a group that uses it, and I think it would be such a huge benefit for everyone to be able to just concentrate fire on one thing at a time without guessing what the target is. Any explanation of how to set it up and use it properly would be appreciated. <BR/><BR/>I've got in the habit of organizing my own raids every once in a while, still trying to figure out the interface and how to use it. I guess they assume that when your organizing raids you know it all by then.<BR/><BR/>Learned how to do 25 man KT the other night, for some reason my pet drops like a rock everytime we start up phase 2, not sure why yet. In my only KT kill so far I saw both the envoy and journey's end drop. Didn't get either as the guy with arrowsong decided he needed to upgrade to the envoy, I'm a little bitter, but hes a raider and I'm a casual so in the end it helps the guild out I guess.<BR/><BR/>One question though, how is that I, a sad little casual running around in my sad crafted purples and a few lucky drops from raids can out dps the other hunters in my raids by anywhere from 1000 to 1500 dps. I don't even know how a hunter with almost all BiS gear can do only 1500 dps, even if his pet is dead and fell asleep with his head on the keyboard he should be doing more then that. Frustrating to see good gear go to people who it won't make any difference to. Anyways, a topic for another time I guess. Guess you have to be the husband of one of the good raiders to get the good gear :D (thats right, the wives of these slacking hunters are killing the DPS charts while the husbands are slacking hardcore).<BR/><BR/><BR/>Whew...that got long winded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728842525831292167.post-2009585360572968502009-03-18T08:59:00.000-04:002009-03-18T08:59:00.000-04:00I really enjoy kiting the Zombie chow on Gluth.Mak...I really enjoy kiting the Zombie chow on Gluth.<BR/><BR/>Make sure to have Distracting Shot available for those persistent ones...Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.com
