On Hodir there isn't much frost resist on non epic gear and both could one shot your tanks in blues. Did you do it solely through cooldowns and bear stamina stacking?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947272692892806497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-24496643099318434752009-10-13T08:57:58.783+02:002009-10-13T08:57:58.783+02:00Congrats on your awesome achievement.

Good to see how much skill really matters.<br /><br />Someone linked this in my chat channel a few minutes ago and I thought I'd mention—the Wowhead Profiler has a system where you can save profiles with sets of gear that don't necessarily match what you can see in the Armory. Something like that might be useful for linking in your post here.<br /><br />So you can link something like http://www.wowhead.com/?profile=8382858 and show the list of gear your tank was wearing at the time, even if he's changed gear now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807793639965916790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-33761463471004573242009-10-09T22:07:18.028+02:002009-10-09T22:07:18.028+02:00Props to you guys!

Recently during a Ignis fight we were having so much trouble because the tank was dying and if you lose a tank its a wipe during ignis because positioning is off right? So we adopted a new way of doing things. we didnt change the strategy at all we just used our classes to the full extant. The healers heal like crazy making sure the whole raid is at full health at all times. pop cooldowns early so that they can be available later on in the fight. Just use the class to the full extant of its abilities. whatever can increase your damage at the time, whatevers off cooldown, whatever helps the tanks.the goal is to always be on cooldown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-37718925706477262532009-10-03T06:19:49.852+02:002009-10-03T06:19:49.852+02:00i think you are also missing the most important an...i think you are also missing the most important and valuable component to all this.

He's merely stating that skill is above gear.<br /><br />For instance, say you got the experience to play over years on a server and for some reason had to switch servers. Someone like me will just start a new toon rather than pay for a transfer. When you get up to 80 and work up some blues, you shouldn't be declined by a raiding guild because you don't have the epic achievement.
