Truly Impressive

I’ve seen a lot of videos comprised of WoW footage but nothing to date has equaled this:

Bad DPS

During the last weekly raid quest and a few heroics this week I’ve seen a examples of whats called Bad DPS.

For example when I was tanking Noth the Plaguebringer in Naxx somebody dropped death and decay before I did. Even though the order was for nobody to attack till I dropped D&D. That could have killed everyone. That’s bad DPS.

Other examples include attacking mobs before the tank does, pulling mobs off the tank, not attacking marked targets (or the mob the tank is attacking), not following kill orders, using AOE abilities as soon as the tank gets to the mobs, not using threat reducing abilities (feign death, fade, shadowmeld, wind shear, vanish) when you do get threat.

Bad DPS makes the tanks job harder, risks getting you ( and the healer if your standing next to him) killed, and makes you look bad. A little listening, patience, and consideration will go a long way in heroics and raids and make things a lot more fun for everyone.

Plus it’ll prevent your tanks from writing NSFW DPS 101 articles on the internet.

Sapphiron

We need to get the key from Sapphi in order to be able to attempt the weekly raid quest. The video below is a good primer for the tactics needed to defeat this boss.

This Weekend’s Raid

We’ve got more players signed up than can actually go. Assuming everyone that signed up shows up a few players will have to benched. Right now we’ve got more DKs signed up than a 10 man raid needs meaning half the DKs that signed up will probably be benched if everyone that signed up shows up. Who gets benched will be decided by the following factors spec, previous performance in guild events, punctuality, and gear (gear being the least important for this raid but if you’re a DK wearing caster gear expect to be benched).

Meanwhile everyone needs to show up prepared. That means bringing food, drinks, potions and scrolls for yourself. Fish feasts will be provided by the guild.

Please take some time to  read up on the raid before this weekend.

Below is a video detailing tactics for taking down the boss for the weekly raid quest.
