Twilight Assist

Last night our guild made another attempt at doing Sarth 25 with one drake up. We went with a much better positioning, which worked out better once we figured out where people should stand and who is doing what. Which would seem obvious. Forgive me if this post doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm sick and there is a snot balloon filling my brain. >.<

This is where our raid leader found the strat for where to stand. All in all it helped a great deal, when looking at it. Of course not everyone has the advantage of two monitors, so most of the raid was still taking a few intitial tries to remember where the lava walls were coming from so as not to get burned by them. Last week when we tried this I tanked Tenebron and was told to pick him up where he lands, at the far right (if you are looking at the linked post) of the map. Then the tank is to move from the far part of the island's safe spot and back depending on where the walls are coming from.

This week we decided that it might be better to tank Tenebron on the bottom part of the island where most people tank Sarth when they first work on this raid. This is, in fact, where I tanked Sarth the night before in 10 man. It's a good spot. Our first few tries were still failures because between the whelps and the fire elemental adds, it was just too much to handle after a few lava waves and people, including the OTs, were going down.

For the record, I was an add off tank this week. ^_~

Anyway, my fellow add off tank was a death knight. He suggested after a couple of wipes that he could tank the whelps by himself using his nifty DK aoes that make the ground glow red and do damage. I don't know what it's called, but it's cool. *rolls eyes at self* I wholeheartedly agreed and we decided to try that. It worked. While our DK tanked the whelps I collected the fire elementals while all of the rest of the raid dpsed down Tenebron. This was key. The problem we were having was that Tenebron just wasn't going down fast enough. So having our DK handle the whelps and burning down Tenebron asap meant that there wasn't more than 2 waves of whelps, not to mention that he went down shortly after the second wave anyway. So, this is a good strat.

After that, smoking Sarth was business as usual. Grats to my guild! They did a great job. +1 drake OS down, only +2 drakes to go...as it were. =D
