It could be that the tank ran out of range of the healers, the healers ran out of mana early, got silenced, or something else.<BR/><BR/>Overall damage taken is good for helping tanks figure out how to reduce their total damage intake (helping healers not run out of mana), but it's not actually very helpful in figuring out why someone died.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908845315588176801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-33328079796538571982009-01-16T17:04:00.000+01:002009-01-16T17:04:00.000+01:00While I agree with your basic premise, there ARE a...While I agree with your basic premise, there ARE a number of cases where 'bad luck' was the cause of the wipe. <BR/><BR/>I.e. if one of the tank's attacks gets parried by the boss, which makes the boss's next attack faster, and might co-incide with a cleave or breath attack. Sometimes your tank just gets insta-glibbed. Or if (the early versions of) Shade of Aran casts Blizzard right after Flame-wreath. <BR/><BR/>On the same token though, Blizzard's raid-designers take great pains to eliminate 'luck' as a major factor, but they don't always find every opportunity.Michael Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812909610665668428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-59349993032382884722009-01-16T15:31:00.000+01:002009-01-16T15:31:00.000+01:00....

As you noted, it also does not do well with totems, for a lot of reasons.<BR/><BR/>It also occasionally has trouble matching pet damage to the pet class using the pet - just depends on how many pets it has to track as to whether this gets strange.<BR/><BR/>So. If your healer doesn't look like they're healing all that well, but they're a Discipline priest... or if your Tank's damage is spikey over time due to avoidance-tanking (most good DK tanks have upwards of 30% combined dodge/parry), or if your pet classes seem to be coming in low - <BR/><BR/>well. Be cautious, and be darned sure. The data's only as good as the collection method.The Standing Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371572149657575089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-62961719705006193342009-01-16T14:19:00.000+01:002009-01-16T14:19:00.000+01:00You may also want to note that DPS should not be i...You may also want to note that DPS should not be in front of mobs at ANY time, even if they dont have a cleave/cone effect, unless ofc they are assisting killing adds and your short of tanks (evasion rogue for example).<BR/><BR/>The reason for this is: Boss Parry<BR/><BR/>Parry = less DPS plus when a boss parrys his next swing is 40% faster, which is bad for the tank and healers mildly, but it all adds up.<BR/>It may also be helpful to note come people think they have the expertise for it, since wrath was out the bosses have a far greater chance to parry then they do dodge.<BR/><BR/>Though I hear now bosses can dodge from behind or the side, I do not belive that have the ability to parry from behind/side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-42694539300697150282009-01-16T14:18:00.000+01:002009-01-16T14:18:00.000+01:00While I approve of your no-nonsense shenanigans re...While I approve of your no-nonsense shenanigans regarding causes of damage, it may take several wipes, depending on the fight, to get used to the coordination of the fight itself.<BR/><BR/>The heigan dance is an example of this. There will always be people who will die to heiganfail, but should someone really be replaced simply because they died while dancing? Especially considering that they've been doing a great job in the run otherwise? Not everyone is capable of truly mastering the dance, or is capable of simply "getting it" after two or three tries.<BR/><BR/>Although, when composing the group, I suppose it's the responsibility of the raid organizer to ensure ahead of time that everyone knows how to do the encounters.<BR/><BR/>I apologize if this sounds nitpicky, I suppose that I'm only talking about rare exceptions here. But they do exist, and we should be mindful of them.krizzlybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131923949935079418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-8592548923059067122009-01-16T12:19:00.000+01:002009-01-16T12:19:00.000+01:00Wipes aren't bad as long as you learn from them.

Try, wipe, improve, try, wipe, improve, kill is how it should be.<BR/><BR/>Wiping time after time without making any progress, that's annoying and means some people are messing up. Only solution here is to replace people.Carrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155709707982913637noreply@blogger.com
