I really liked the music playing on the ship where the stores and things were.

[JaneLame]

Tankspot tactic videos are always very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!

[wiegrafzerolok]

The Damage is a mod called Scrolling Combat Text, and it's addon, Scrolling Combat Text Damage.

Tips for 25man.
If you have a hunter let him/her drop a snaketrap in the boss pullpath (where the DK puts his DnD in the vid) and the defenders will waste their pounce CD on the snakes instead of on you.


When the boss casts fear have a paladin stun the mob just at the end of the castbar and the mob will remain stunned for the duration of the fear.

also only killing 4-5 respawns is enough if you are not going for hardmode.

hope this helps. good luck!

[Deovindice]

Good video, thanks for taking the time to do all of these.

[Thnielsen]

totems can also be used to pull., and also if you have 3 decent healers you can ignore the continual line of sight "pulling" of feral defender when it ressurects. pounce is easy to heal through on 10 man

"Stay out of the cat cat" LOL this sounds like something someone would say in raid.

[Llynethil]

pulling is easy.
I asked my guild if I could try something and worked prefectly.
I just launch one fireball and right after it launched I blinktowards the rest ofthe raid.

Works fantastic and all that is required is for the tanks to pick up the adds/boss once they are around the corner

[raider]

We found it simpler not to bother with the Cat when it spawns, only to stun it as much as possible so it wouldn't go nuts and then jsut keep all dps on Auriaya

[Anonymiter]

Finally a vid about a fight my guild hasn't downed yet! rofl.... GJ and hopefully we'll be able to use some of this tonight.

@jordachep stacking in the corner next to the stairs is the pug method to get everyone to stack properly. It's better to tank her roughly in the middle of the circle though. That way there's nobody getting feared saying in the corner, on feared up stairs, one feared down ramp and everyone LOS of the heals. Though it doesn't really matter. Don't kill the cat sure, but as long as everyone stacks the location you choose isn't important. Corner is just the way to babysit the baddies in your pug.

what addon is the pane at the top and bottom of the screen. not the addons in them but what allows you to make the panes there

[ruinr]

Every melee will lose some DPS from being parried/dodged from the front a little more often, but only ferals actually suffer DPS wise because they need to be behind for shred (rogues don't use positional moves in PvE atm).. but ferals can still do about 80-90% of their full damage by spamming mangle instead of shred, so again its not a big deal.

[toudal]

what we did was we used a shamantotem to pull the boss, same strat as with the d&d but this works too if you dont have a dk.

[ghenii]

what is the combat log addon at the button right of the screen? I'm looking for it for a month!!! but cannot find anything like this

[Kekwlord]

what addon do you use to rearrange your action bars to certain areas of your screen rather than it always being at the bottem of the screen and the right hand side (if enabled).

[Enzo]

Thats way more complicated than it needs to be. Plus, killing the feral defender makes it twice as complicated, just have the raid heals heal through it and there will be no void zones and only 1 cat

[dyu]

Hellooo there, whats the name of the addon that shows the buffs in the upper right corner in this video?

[Elaviel]

I want to ask to the pubblisher of this video which addon he uses.

In particular i'm interested about the addon which permits the scroll of the text at the side of the iceHUD bar.
