Ready Check: Brutallus
"Ready Check is a weekly column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and spend thousands of gold on repairs and consumables. This week, a pit lord dies. Brutallus is the second boss in the Sunwell Plateau. A pit lord with swords for hands, he becomes accessible once you've redeemed Kalecgos and killed the two trash packs behind Kalecgos' platform. After watching a short event where Brutallus fights and kills Madrigosa, a blue dragon who you can see taunting him when doing the Dead Scar bombing quest, it's time to face the demon himself. Many people have compared the Brutallus encounter to that of Patchwerk back in Naxxramas; rather than an execution encounter, this is a benchmark fight, and if your raid is low on DPS, your tanks fall short of gear requirements or your healers can't keep up, you'll run into difficulties. The main requirement is extremely high raid dps; with a 6 minute enrage and 10.5 million hitpoints, you're looking at just over 29k raid dps sustained over the entire fight. How much that works out to per DPSer depends on your raid composition, so let's look at what you need to bring for the fight. Position This diagram courtesy of Insomnia on Tichondrius sums up the positioning problem well. The raid arranges itself in a triangle or V, with the two tanks positioned with DPS and healer soak groups around them; everyone needs to stand so that they won't get Meteor Slash when Brutallus is hitting the other tank. Burn spots are behind him, so you won't get a Slash while Burning -- melee can stay put if they're spread out enough. or wow Refreshing your Meteor Slash stacks while you have Burn is a ticket to pain, as the increased fire damage debuff makes the final ticks deadly. The terrain where you fight Brutallus is slightly bumpy, so you might need to adjust positioning a little so the pull works right, but it shouldn't take too long to get everyone standing in the right place.
You can use the crates and cart on the ground to fix your positioning. " "Based on your votes last week for the best piece of anti-advice, congratulations to Eldron for submitting the winning entry: ""Hey everyone! Type /afk list when to see who is afk!"" He wins fame, respect, and ooh and ahhhs from crowds of adoring fans! Eldron's anti-advice won with 28.7% of the votes. When I first saw this piece of anti-advice I have to admit I went and tried it right away. I went in AV and typed in /bg, ""Man... guild wars gold look at all these AFK people."" A few folks responded and agreed with me, annoyed about it. ""Type /afk list and report everyone that comes up, please,"" I say next. I kid you not – 15 people immediately afk'd out. At that point I started getting some pretty hate-filled tells, so I decided to /afk out myself. But nonetheless, I just about died from laughter. lineage 2 adena Of course, this is kind of mean, and just a tad underhanded, but really... sometimes things like this are just too funny to pass up. I tried this again later in a AB match that was going awful, and after I told everyone to type /afk list, someone replied ""Yeah, wow, look at all those people."" He then sent me a tell: ""lol! I've been doing that all day!"" All the people that were dragging us down left the BG, and new ones came in and we won. gold wow So maybe this isn't that bad of advice after all... Tabi said... ""All the people that were dragging us down left the BG, and new ones came in and we won. So maybe this isn't that bad of advice after all..."" Congratulations! You got 15 real live people to afk out of your game.
More room for the bots who don't fall for tricks like this. wow or You should be proud of yourself for giving 15 new players the education they need about assholes in battlegrounds. I'm surprised you didn't pick your nose and show it to them while you were at it. Go back to grade school where you belong. "
