Hey Zoria..this is Seurot from Arthas. I think I did a 25 VoA with you the other day. Yeah..you guys stack melee on that fight. Its hard to beat them on taht fight cause they all cleave and wahtever melee do to hit multiple mobs. Our guild just got 25HM Faction Champs down tonight, so hopefully we'll get Twins down and get to Anub next raid on Monday. |

Re: Anub Arak.
Question for you guys as I'm not a lock but could use an answer. We single tank the adds on heroic 25 and as suck the cast speed of the shadowstrike gets very fast meaning sometimes an interrupt gets missed resulting in a wipe due to dps loss. We're using mind numbing to get the cas extended however I was wondering if curse tongues also worked on the adds to increase cast time. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks |

It's a tough job, but your pally's need to be less fail with their holy wrath. The BigWigs timer on shadow strike is quite good. At least one of your pally's should slow down their rotation slightly if they have trouble casting it and make sure they catch the interrupt. There's no other way around it really. |

But we actually were onArthas in vanilla WoW. Some of us were actually in TG back in vanilla WoW and went to another server in The Burning Crusade. And we came back to Arthas for LK. So our core has been together a long time now. We do min/max and take raiding seriously but don't want to raid like it's a second job anymore. So we only do 2 raids per week but really try to make the absolute most of the raid time. |

Re: Anub Arak.
we had a hardtime taking anub down in heroic 10 man. we're a 10 man only raiding guild, i consider ourselves a bunch of very skilled people, and yet heroic 10 anub is HARD. our raid composition si like this: druid MT pally OT 2x druid healers resto shamie with elem spec spriest mage warlock(me) blood dk unholy dk this is a very hard composition for anub, cose we lack mortal strike effects for p3. we have no problems getting him to p3, but then all hell breaks loose. the 2 resto druids have a hard time keeping everybody up, and we have the elem shamie swith to healing in p3(with elem spec) we are usually getting to anub with 50 tries left, but for our first kill we used 11 tries (so got left with 39, losing the achievement for 45 tries left). what we did is this: the paladin OT has a blockset, and in p3 he's tanking the adds with everyone focusing on boss. he is doing the interrupting himself using holy wrath. healers are the most important in this phase. keeping everyone low is hard for them(they say it's the hardest fight for a healer in all wow). Keeping peeps low wouldn't be that hard if it weren't for the penetrating cold debuff that needs to be healed more. the most important thing about this fight is to have some nature resistance. At the beggining of p3, our shamie drops NR totem. Our tanks are using flasks or resistance and have gearset with nature resist on them (druid tank for example even has some green items with stamina and NR) They also try and lower their health by using avoidance items over stamina items (dodge trinkets, armor trinkets insead of stamina)+ head items enchanted with nature resist glyphs. i usually run with a destro spec for everything else in wow, but for this fight i switch to affliction. the dps is a bit lower but: - i put 3 powerful dots on the big adds, which compined with the dots from our spriest and the cleaves takes them down easy without having anyone in the raid actually focusing them - as destro, i found myself lacking mana in p3, and lifetapping is really bad in this phase (since you're supposed to be kept around at about 6000 health, and penetrating cold ticks for about 5000) - with affli spec i can afford lifetapping (+ i have dark pact talented for those extreme moments wehn i can't afford LT-ing) - since p3 starts at 30%, your dps is high enough cose of all the talents that increase damage on targets below this %. Also, 25% on anub comes really fast, and you'll spend all the time keeping dots up and drain soul executing. The healing from corruption and haunt is amazingly helpful,also using drain life when your get close to 0 health helps alot cose of the talents that increase healing received wehen below 20% health. PS. Don't expect everyone to be alive when boss dies. we killed him with dots ticking on him with 5 peeps dead

Re: Anub Arak.
So... how do you demo locks manage your mana wiht all the AoE that's being done? I'm speaking from a ToGC25 point of view here... I find it almost difficult in both phase 1 and 2... phase 3 is more managable because of the execution phase. |

P1 and P2 is as trivial as any other fight. You just life tap liberally between AOEs but primarily during the burrow phase so after he comes up you are at full mana. P3 is what is hard because you won't be able to life tap without killing yourself. One of the locks (myself or a 2nd one) will call out that they could use life tap and a healer will help top us up a little just for the purpose of lifetapping a bit but it's usually only necessary towards the last push. |

Re: Anub Arak.
I've been playing mostly as demo on anub, tried out affliction one night but did not work as good. Cant really see how you get so low on damage, I've ended ~2-5place every try & every kill with meta specc, the overpowerness of immo aura is just to sick. Only DK's and sometimes warrior who performs better atm. Was down on ~7k dps with affliction, what rotations do you use as meta? Something has to be so wrong. best regards |
