A much better fight to compare is on the log however, General Vezax.<br /><br />The overall dps on that kill was 18989. Icc buff would put that around 21838. You have 300 seconds to remove 9,412,875 HP. The 21838 would put you at 431 seconds, so yes, that's over enrage. Without buff, they need another 8kish total. However, at the 20% buff, they'd only need 6112 more DPS. <br /><br />By using say, a bear, as an off-tank that could put a big chunk by going cat to capitalize on the damage debuff. <br /><br />I think this is actually quite feasible even now even with 15%. At 20%, I have full confidence in them hitting a raid dps of 25101 in Icc 10, as well as a good bit of confidence they could hit 26670 at 15%.Antivyrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018471491439351388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-65670423635485061892010-05-04T12:02:35.461+02:002010-05-04T12:02:35.461+02:00I don't think that adds will be a problem on a...I don't think that adds will be a problem on anub. They are stunable and they do not spawn in phase 3 on normal mode.

Holy paladins can also stun adds.

It's still an accomplishment in any case, and not one that's ever been duplicated to my knowledge. You deserve to feel good about it, however if it was normal mode I don't think it's as impressive as it might be. After all, it's not like Northrend Beasts has ever been nerfed and the M&S has been pugging it on normal since they were released on many servers. If it was heroic on the other hand then that's fantastic, and leads to the possibility of something incredible. Even without beating the Lich King you could still make a hell of a splash if you managed to get a Tribute to Dedicated Insanity in blues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-4711415164740062492010-05-04T00:52:02.108+02:002010-05-04T00:52:02.108+02:00A tip.

However, since a few people asked, I'll say again: If you take the dps shown in these logs for straight-up fights, multiply by 130%, and compare to what is needed to beat Festergut, it comes up short. There's only so much damage you can squeeze out of blue gear, and it just ain't enough.<br /><br />Gevlon is well aware of this, and his response is that Blizzard will nerf ICC even more than the 30% in the pipeline. Since the 30% won't kick in until late July (one bump every four weeks looks to be consistent), this nerf he is counting on probably won't appear before late August, if ever.Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-67451251979904338802010-05-03T22:41:51.416+02:002010-05-03T22:41:51.416+02:00Normally I don't make a comment without having...Normally I don't make a comment without having something to add to the discussion, but I just have to congratulate you.
