cant connect

I lied, Comcast users are "Connecting" so +1

comcast is always the first to blame

Super glad I can't connect, wiping to trash sounds fun, might go spend the night at my m8's.

instantly get invited to 25 man yogg
fml

yogg -1 gogo

got 15 badges from 10m naxx today, was p good

nb

got like 20% from phase 3
called raid

how many keepers?

-1 = wipe
p2 issues ofc

fail all night

Extending raid next week for more of the same.

20% from phase 3 = brain room @ 50%, or yogg @ 20% p3?

do you have 2nd crusher spawns per brain phase? or just not enough up top to clear corrupters?

donno, just people dying. by the second brain room people were missing, and the ones that grab you always seem to spawn as people are getting in portals.

right

its very critical in the yogg fight to break the illusion in brain room within x seconds so that the tentacle spawns up top stop, otherwise you will have a second crusher tentacle spawn up top
every crusher up top channels the entire raid to deal 20% less damage, including the brain room

when you break the illusion early, the raid up top will kill the single crusher and remove the damage debuff from everyone, they will have time to kill corrupters/constrictors/refill sanity/etc

if you are slow to break the illusion (due to deaths, being constricted, being debuffed by corrupters, taking wrong portals, etc), and a second crusher spawns, the raid will have a 40% damage debuff until you either break the illusion (stops channeling, stuns tentacles), or ranged kills the first crusher (still will be one up, raid will still be down 20% until you break)

pretty much once you get behind on yogg, youll never get caught up, but if you get very clean first brain phase, you will get ahead, and make it easier for the next phases to be clean (ranged up top will be available to kill constrictors that take melee, healers will be free to dispel/decurse/etc you so you arent slowed/diseased when you go back down)

we were certainly not having a clean brain phase, and a couple new people dont help

do you make sure everyone is positioned near where there portal will spawn for the first ones?
p sure our melee stays around where the ranged are until 5ish second prior to portals spawning (so that they can be broken from constrictors and dispelled), then runs to their spots so they can get down ASAP

also; how many healers do you use?

yes

5 maybe 6 donno

try less than that ever?
we use four, always have

maybe its 4
our issues are nearly never a strat, just performance

ie i never pay attention to healers

how can you tell what is happening (as a whole) if you dont pay attention to who is doing what?

i have faith in my healers, and if im getting low i pop enraged regen/crack rock
when i see people dying i know we are having issues that dont pertain to me/my performance

so you just want to make sure you are doing everything you can be, and if the guild isnt doing their part, you just accept it and take it for what it is

i cant do that, i need to blame people in my mind

placing blame does nothing, improving does everything. i can tell if raid dmg is too high, cuz multiple people start dropping, if tank healers fail, if tanks dont hold aggro, i mean i have a good idea whats going wrong. just saying i dont know the healing encounters well. ive never been one so its still a bit foreign to me.

and placing blame is not helpful. only fixing mistakes.

(in before you say you have to place blame to fix a problem)

in a guild like mine, if you dont pressure people to stop being shitty, they will continue to slide by and be happy in other peoples success carrying them

SAME

pressure people to stop being shitty = blame them for dieing/other shit

my wow doesnt have the option to run on 1280x1024 resolution like ive used for the past year

gr8

im not running at 1280x800, nty

this

although i do watch others just cause my job requires minimal effort
