Now, a social probably doesn't think that he did something wrong, but he may fear that a guildmate will see your comment and "falsely" believe it/misrepresent it.<br /><br />No social would say "lol i do what i wanna" or "welcome to my /ignore" to a member of his guild, so "defending is reputation" against guildmate is much harder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-46921773382207796822011-04-30T20:06:53.460+02:002011-04-30T20:06:53.460+02:00If you need to dps nef to 55% before phase 3, you ...If you need to dps nef to 55% before phase 3, you are not using a good strategy for add tanking in phase 3.

So your idea about boosting your guilds "reputation" on the server to demoralise the M&S seems to have worked. The question is, will it have the same affect in cross-realms BG's?Yggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-19543866605651751482011-04-29T18:44:49.959+02:002011-04-29T18:44:49.959+02:00This is fascinating, and precisely the kind of str...This is fascinating, and precisely the kind of strategy that I like to see cropping up to help improve the overall game. I wonder if using it in a cross-dungeon LFD group would be effective. While I know it's naughty to plug your own blog on another's comments, I hope you'll forgive me for this one. I've been working on the idea of a player "LFD" reputation system, and Maisith suggested that I read your post here and think about how I could make guild rep and player LFD rep interlinked. Your discovery here has given me a lot to think about. Thanks!

It's a defense mechanism, to provide plausible deniability in the event of failure. If the M&S really did try and did all those things, but still failed, he would have no excuse and would have to admit that he really did inherently suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-65379497495612946762011-04-29T13:55:34.268+02:002011-04-29T13:55:34.268+02:00Many times people will say in General or Trade cha...Many times people will say in General or Trade chat that they are reporting so-and-so for their bad behavior.

I am unsure, if this will work everywhere in Tol Barad, I quote wowpedia on that:<br />"This function only works in close proximity to the unit you are trying to get info from. It is the same distance that the character portrait loads if you are in party with them. It will abandon the data shortly after you leave the area, even if the portrait is remembered."<br /><br />So, let me know if there are any problems with the range, maybe I can work around that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-81232825898864577082011-04-29T09:41:31.524+02:002011-04-29T09:41:31.524+02:00Target substitutions with the addon Prat (Enable t...Target substitutions with the addon Prat (Enable the module in the config):<br /><br />%t for target name<br /><br />%tg for target guild.<br /><br />I look forward to future results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-42160216789394149782011-04-29T07:37:10.781+02:002011-04-29T07:37:10.781+02:00Lol, that is hilarious.

You'll need a healer each on the Onyxia and Nefarian side. The 3rd healer should be in the middle but be quick to react on which side is needed. For instance, the Onyxia healer will be under pressure during adds, tail swipe or crackle.<br /><br />Another reason for the tank deaths could be because of crackle. Note that the raid does not need to be immediately topped off after crackle because there is no aoe damage on the Nefarian side. So, for example, the floating healer can help stabilise the Onyxia side first, and then come help top off the Nefarian side. Healers should prioritise tanks first before the raid.<br /><br />Lastly, your healers should use their regen cds during p1. The fight is quite long (p2 = 3 mins) and so the cds should come back up in the middle of p3. This will allow your healers to use more inefficient heals to help keep people alive but still emerge will good mana leading into p2.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381576369055180683noreply@blogger.com
