On Patchwerk you had only 5% misses and no resists. These resists are because of Sapphirons frost resists.<br /><br />The average hit of your frostbolt on Sapphiron is 2400 and 3687 on Patchwerk. The lower value on Sapphiron is because of partial resists because of frost resistance.Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-13805137851802069152010-02-24T09:35:25.965+01:002010-02-24T09:35:25.965+01:00I don't get it.

It is because he is a moron or a slacker (like I slacked frost practice) and deserves no help, just a huge kick on the butt and out of the group" <br /><br />such people should be taught how to do it properly and given a few chances to do it right. No one is born to clear the raids (regardless of gear) and clear it one shot the first time they enter it especially if they are on specialty roles. Try poping heroism in the right time as an enhancement shaman with no vent and things going on everywhere on your very first run. It is not as easy as "tell me once and i'll perfect it everytime", no takes 2-3 goes just to learn the right Cues in the battle. Or people with a slightly longer latency (you should not be raiding if it is too long) and doing Hagen dance for the first time. Or dodging bladestorm/ice spikes in Morrowgar (which takes at least 1 go to get used to the way the icy spikes shoot out, watching videos doesnt always cut it). So you do need to factor in learning curve time before a straight kick, otherwise how does that make u different from "show GS and achievement" or no invite people? at least the achievement check is sort of a check to see if you know what you are suppose to be doing. (Although I think in the original article you really mean those people who REPEATEDLY and PERSISTENTLY fail normal content despite gear and being taught what to do).Ayaonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-87441239454468432372010-02-22T23:59:11.746+01:002010-02-22T23:59:11.746+01:00I don't really get this post.

I see that the way you are doing this makes a good point, that people who don't pull sufficient weight are doing it because they are lazy or stupid, but you seem to also have a disdain for weekly raiding. If the sole goal is to "clear content" see all the bosses die, then I can understand, but some people actually enjoy raiding. I enjoy getting together with a good group of people, hopping on vent, talking and, killing things when the opportunity presents itself. raids can be fun because the act is fun, not just the content clear.<br /><br />It may have been said before but I think that the raid centric "everyone who wants epics can get them" is a serious problem for WoW, sure there are people (like me and a number of the more "HC/no lifers") who would raid anyways, but the game is putting more pressure on people to raid, not just play the game they want to play.... That is getting off topic, I guess the point is why do you raid if you seem to dislike the mechanic so much? <br /><br />Anyways, I hope you are successful, though I fear you are going to reach festergut and die to the combination of stiff enrage timer, and massive damage. <br /><br />Good luck with all of this<br /><br />Tego<br /><br />by the way, I raid between 1 and 3 nights a week, 1 for ICC 10 and the other two are 25 mans.Tegoelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515331038934862638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-28715933007091404492010-02-22T19:11:06.857+01:002010-02-22T19:11:06.857+01:00If I remember correctly, the Sapphiron boss is hig...If I remember correctly, the Sapphiron boss is highly resistant to frost (used to be completely immune in original naxx) which would explain your lowered DPS on that boss.MyNamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-91207510620769552482010-02-22T19:00:12.305+01:002010-02-22T19:00:12.305+01:00There is a US side also, it's a little less ac...There is a US side also, it's a little less active, but I do expect to have a team ready soon for 5s, another few weeks and a 10 is likely.<br /><br />Always interested in more.

Meneldil is the GM, but everybody has invite privileges.<br /><br />I wonder if sarth10+3 is possible in blues. Be interesting to try it. I think it's harder than uldaur, maybe even harder than some of ICC. You need people with 6k+ dps (and a tank that can go without heals for a while) to zerg, and if you don't zerg, sarth can hit hard enough to one-shot <40k tanks. I'll bet it can be done, but strategy will be interesting, and might require something unorthodox (VW tank?).The Gnome of Zurichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203965173625552516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-15620405727114657422010-02-22T18:28:15.990+01:002010-02-22T18:28:15.990+01:00To be fair, T6.5 WAS level appropriate.

I admit I had a crafted epic shield when I first tanked it in Jan '09, but since I was using the mace from the ZD quest and plenty of tempered saronite gear, my overall gear score was probably a lot less than the tanks you last night. Oh, and I only had one tanking trinket, so I had Chuchu's in the other slot. Lot of folks still had level 70 epics. And yet, at that time nobody thought it was strange or unusual or that we were "undergeared".<br /><br />When you've got 11 million players, yes there will be dunderheads spamming trade who think you need T9 gear to do T7 content, but there are also plenty of people who quietly do the content in the gear it was designed for.
