Re: World of Warcraft

Yes casters can interrupt, but the speed a mage's CS is up compared to the speed a rogue's kick is up is a very different cooldown.

In a 25 man going with 0 melee would be dumb. Besides the fact that lot's of melee gear drops and if there were no melee no one would get gear making naxx pretty much a waste of time.

Btw good luck in Ulduar when there are MANY caster unfriendly fights coming and you'll be thinking damn I wish I was melee

Because Mages are the only ones who can interrupt, right?

The only Melee stuff that drops that nobody in a range/caster raid will get is Rogue gear.

There's no Cloth melee gear.
The Mail gear is for Hunters, who are ranged.
The Plate gear is for DKs, Pallies, and Warriors. You have to have tanks, so they get it.

How often do you bring every spec to a raid anyway? You'd need 11 specific specs to have a full raid of main-spec rolls.

Cloth - Caster / Healer
Leather - Melee / Caster / Healer (though this is gimped)
Mail - Melee / Caster / Healer (this is also gimped)
Plate - Melee / Tank / Healer (not gimped)

You would need all four heal types, all three spell dps, all three melee, and of course the tanks to guarantee the drops are not going to offspec. I don't know about you, but it's incredibly rare to see that in my raids.

I haven't seen anything of Ulduar yet because I don't care to mess around with unreleased content, but I highly doubt there will be much caster hate in Ulduar. Anything they do that hinders casters typically hinders melee too; it just doesn't work the other way around.

The Heigan dance sucks under intense lag. However, you can get used to the delay so I'm not sure why people have issues. I see my friend do the dance and it looks like he keeps getting hit because he's one section ahead, but he's just lagging that badly. He also doesn't die.

Squeek is right about the whole "any fight that requires dps to do more than mash buttons" is a hard fight. We have melee dying in KT because they don't move out void zones at all. We have dps die because they don't get behind ice blocks on Saph. We have raid wipes because people just stand there when they get the disease from Grobbulus.

Re: World of Warcraft

Omg I'm so happy! Just got my of the Nightfall title.

It took us 50 wipes, but we got it holy ****.

I turned out 5.1k dps on the final attempt ahead in damage by 100k.

The run was caught on video by 2 members in the raid, so I'll post our zerg.

Our final time was 84 seconds from start to finish

Holy adrenaline batman

edit: Screen Shot, vid will come in next few days

So someone found the BiS for warrior and paladin tank gear. (supposedly.)

Re: World of Warcraft

Yay! My guild isn't scheduled to raid it this week. We might try to pull together a raid for it tonight, but I doubt it will happen on such short notice. Oh well, time to got get dual specs, make sure that this whole spirit to molten armor thing is worth it, and pray to god I get a new caster weapon before Ulduar raids with guild. Our guild hasn't seen a caster dagger/sword in three weeks in both 10 and 25 man naxx

Awesome day to have a calculus exam and have my internet connection suspended for going over a bandwidth limit. =[
