Wipe on Majordomo Sep 9th (Mages look here)

[Idrial]

Im not saying that it was our fault at all... but there was a mixup of who is sheeping who... Not in the beginning but some time into the fight mages lost track of their sheep... SO read the following and tell me what u think:

1. Mages each get a target, so far so good.

2. Sheep your target when the fight begins, so far so good.

3. Here it comes!
* Left Mage goes back far to the left up on Domos cliff (not too close to the enemies if we wipe)
*Middle Left Mage goes somewhere to the middle left
*Middle Right goes somewhere to the middle right
*And Right Mage goes to the far right.
During this entire time dont change target, keep your healer as your target! Don't try to do dmg on the elite that is being killed
When the first Magic Shiled goes down do this:

4. Use Counterspell on your healer. (Need to have 2/2 improved skill to silence it)

5. And them imedietly cast FireBlast (NOT frostbolt that slows them and NOT firebolt which is DoT, prevents u from sheeping)

6. The Healers will start running towards you (back away as far as u can), and when your healers are getting close to you:

7. Use Polymorph again.

Result: NO MORE MIXUPS, you can start attacking the targeted elite and u can easyly know which sheep is your sheep. Just keep sheeping them every now and then. Don't wait too long, better too many times than having a healer unpoly and kill the mage then wipe. And don't use poly while shileds are up!!!

Then just listen to the raid leader when the 4th elite is down to 10%, he will tell you which healer to attack. Be ready to use Ice-block when your sheep is attacked cuz it is most likely that u have a huge agro against your healer and he will charge straight for you!

Comments?

1. check
2. check
3. a good idea here would be the tanks to pull the elites far right to teh wall as far away from the mages as posible so we wont get the aoe from the elites. at this point mages only need to poly no dmg at all, so we dont need dmg gear here but fire resistance gear and shadow resistance buff if no gear( shadow protection from priests probably ).
4. check
5. ?? why to canst fireblast? we already have enough agro.
6. check
7. check

the only bad thing here is the damn lag which makes polymorphing the healers at the right time a bit dificult.


i want to know something about the healers. are they immue to mind control? cause if they are not priests could mc the healers and heal the tanks with the mced healers instead of using their own heals. so when teh elites are down and we need to kill the healers, teh healers will have lost a great amount of mana and our priests will have almost full mana.

Shouldn´t you as a mage also put up detect mgic on your target?

[Kilik]

no need with the new ctraid. it always tell us when the dmg shiled and when the magic shield is up. but we can also use it in case of lag so we can have 2 warnings for shields, the ctraid and our detect magic, so that we are sure that a shield is up or not.

Ahh yeah that´s right, and thank you for reminding me about ct raid.
I see that people still use an older version of Ct_raid and I advise you people to upgrade to latest version a.s.a.p. The new ctraids have addons that come very handy at bosses and is also essential for the whole ct raid to function as a whole whitout any unforseen errors. 1.312 is the latest, please go and download it.

EDIT: Ohh and another thing that also came to my mind. Mages/Druids should download Decursive a very useful addon that allows you to decurse easier. THere is one for palas aswell to dispell easir. Palas should also have whispcast so that the blessings go fast and swiftly and this can also be used by druids aswell.

And finally Loomsie should make sandwhiches fur alle. =)

Yup, the new CTraid is "høvding" king
You get to see all the warnings of bosses etc as Grizzly said. And this is what i think it's so wondeful about it You don't have to even think about the channels anymore AND for buffers, you can use you're settings to show buffs when not debuffed at you're choise, In my situation (as a druid) I have set the buffs to show only on curse, poison, mark of the wild, reasently bandaged, regrowth, rejuvenation and thorns. In this case: we are to buff. I can easy see who is buffed with mark of the wild and who is not:P So there is actually no reason to pm me for MOTW becasue i see when you don't have it anymore, but you can allways notify me when you have short time left on it

This also helps me to see who has rejuvenation (and regrowth if i am going to spare my mana ) on them so i don't cast a new rejuvenation on them and simply waste mana.

This works the same for curses and poison. But when they are cursed a HUGE curse icon comes on their names showing me to spam 9 button (remove curse):=)
