Yo guys,
Not supposed to be a guide on how to suck eggs. If people have different experiances, then please feel free to post here. I am always up for new info / tricks
ok.. So you are a feral druid, and you find yourself bagging on of teh 25 spots on a KT raid... so .. what now...
Phase 1.
Darkner
---------
.. Errrr.. benny-hill it.. oh and why not pop LB's on the darkners targets, hell you are there.. might as well be *kinda* usefull..
Sang
------
Hit him (prob only 2ce though due to insane raid DPS at the mo)
Caper
------
Stand with raid.. Toss a heal on the MD'ing hunter if (s)he bags an unlucky conflag... keep an eye out on the raid, help healing up the raid if it starts eating conflags due to teh warlock tanking going south (or arcia pulls agro... ;) )
Telonicus
---------
Unless you are tanking him....Dont bother, no point being a mana drain and taking dmg, the raid wands him down in 30s anyways..
When he is on 25% shift to bear, hit enrage (hmmm rage) and prepare for the..... DUM-DUM-DUUUMMMMMMM AXE OF DOOM !!!
ok.. its not that bad.
Stand just in front of KT_Sunny_BOI, the axe spawns there, and use your macro
/target axe of devistation (Dbl check your speeeling)
/use maul
Spam the macro B4 they spawn (maul will only activate upon use).
Once you have aggro on the axe (you have set up the warning first, didn't you) you must hot foot it to the back left (as you look at him) before the axe starts wirlwinding, whilst you are moving back, you must (and this is *THE* most important thing) jump.. hell you are a druid tank.. act like one...
Once at the back, you will probably hear your healer crying over TS "where the [expletive deleted] are you".. don't worry its all part of the scriptded encouter.. he will catch up eventually.. ;)
ok, why back left (as you look at him from teh start point), well the bow is being tanked on the right, and if you stand too close to it, all you will do is cause the hunters to whinge.. (oh not to mention you wiping the raid due to causing the bow to blink, and start multi-shotting the raid...but thats incidental)
OK.. you you and the AXE are having your own little love-in at teh back, move your camera position to *DIRECTLY ABOVE*. time to admire your fat bonce.. (you need to do this to see the whirl accuratly for the next part)..
slowly, (and make sure you have push to talk enabled as you will eb swaering a lot, as it is a BUGGER to position right) move the axe to where all hell is breaking loose with the AOE.. Back into the aoe.. you will know you AXE is gettign hit as you will see its health going down at about teh same rate as the other weps (make sure you have the boss-mod bit enabled that displays th health of all the weps in 1 box.. helps loads here)..
Now.. THE most important thing is that the axe hits no-one.. clothies (oh and bokeh.. he dies a small amount inside each time) will get hurt.. a lot..if you see an energetic, or over enthusiastic AoE / dpser commign to close, bounce (most important part of druid tanking) you way to teh back, and re-position again.
Yes its nice the axe takes AoE but not critical..
Once the rest of teh weps have eaten AoE, have a quick butchers at where the staff is, back into (*BUT ONLY IF YOU WILL NOT HIT ANYONE*) and pick it up after everyone else has looted it..
If you can not get it.. then.. meh.. its not critical.(but every bit helps..)
Equip your epic staff and use your new lacerate macro
/use Staff of disintegration (check speeling)
/use lacerate
NOW.. whilst spamming lacerate ( whilst keeping mangke up) man-hover the axe to the top of the stairs on the right (As you look at him when you enter..)..ok this requires judgement.. what you are trying to do is allow your healer to stand between you and the Telonicus tank and heal you both.. so standabout 50yrds away to the Telonicus tank..
Not too close, cause he fears.. and
1) you *DONT* want to get feared.. hmm wirling cleaving axe.. right through the middle of the healers.. you *would* be popular.. NOT
2) the melee will get feared, so give them running space..
From here its all kinda guesswork as we have not got any further.. but I suspect it will be along the lines of...
tank axe till dead.. shift to cat, dps down add's that you can, DPS KT and use main to interupt (yes it does.....) what you can..
OH
The S3 gloves are quite nifty here as the spell lock out actually works :) so wear them as part of you tanking gear.
Hope this helps....
