1) Rik - Cannot tank Skeer as well, Aim 100% active mitigation else Amber parasites spawn from tank, kill parasites if you are transformed to Scorpion

2) Skeer (Cletus) - Cannot tank Rik as well, Summons 2 bloods, kill before hit lowest health target

3) Hisek - Stack in aim line

4) Korven - Stuns tank then huge frontal damage

5) Xaril (Cletus) - Cannot tank Kil'ruk as well, 100% Active mitigation to avoid 10 stacks of debuff, Toxic injections + Choose catalyst. Red = 10 yards away from all else, Blue Stack on another player to share 800k damage, yellow run to yellow marker and drop your puddle.

6) Kaz - Kunchongs on outside, when player mesmorised, DPS the Kunchong player is walking towards to take 30% of its health, no more! If Kunchong grows big, tank taunt and #1 kill priority

7) Iyyokuk - Keep health above 35%. If connected by lines, spread from others with lines.

8) Ka'roz - Spread from other players for charge. Throws amber void bombs that leave void zones, spread out.

9) Kil'ruk - Cannot tank with Xaril. Spread for Death from above 5 yard radius. Stuns tank followed by high damage.

Reading different strats for bosses and saw an interesting idea for Siege.

The add is tanked on the boss. With the extra dmg buff on tank after 5 stacks the add melts above the rate at which he can be healed. Just a thought.

Paragons doesn't seem to have too much subtlety from a tanking point of view. I think there might be some benefit though to having a 5 yard range meter up for Aim (beam). More than 5yrd and no aoe dmg from effect.

For Garosh I think the tanks are trying a confused approach. Rather than further away I think we need to move the boss inside the half way point. MT collects boss and one side of adds, the OT grabs the other side. Then sets inside the mid point. the OT spends time grabbing threat on every mob and watching for Wolfie. The OT is facing mob essential into the raid. Noting it is primarily splash damage on these anyway not an issue for melee. When ball of doom appears knock back into path is a lot easier and safer for all.

the rest is hard to conextualise without seeing fight but I think we can get there.

Just some thoughts

Points sound good Cletus.

I just had an in game whisper from Derived. He is not going to be raiding with us anymore on his DK. He transferred his DK to run with his other raid team that lost a tank. He did not have any problems with us, just wanted to keep his other team together. Whilst that is the bad news, I recruited a new mage that has a voice exactly like Derived.

I can understand his reasons for transferring his DK. I dont really like the effect it has on our raid team, a feeling that some of you may share. It is hard to find people who know how to raid and are reliable. I tend not to like loosing people like that if there is a way I can accommodate. Derived did not offer his other toons when he told me he was pulling his DK but after some soul searching, I asked him if he was interested in rolling another toon with us.

And he overwhelming was. His hunter is very geared but would leave us with two hunters, 6 toons in the same tier item group and 5 toons using agility support items. His mage is approx 535 which works out ok for a number of balance issues. Before Kosk left he said he was unsure if he would be able to raid with us in his new country of residence. If he does come back, it is still not too much of an issue.

So goodbye Derived DK and hello Derived Mage.

Roster and roll wise, we will look like this:

Tanks
Cletusjnr
Chunkychodus
Reserve Tank Morpheus

Healers
Superalpha
Teukad
Scenotaph
Reserve Heals 1 - Chupac
Reserve Heals 2 - Fuggette

MDPS
Fuggette
Môrphêus

RDPS
Chupac
Vaughno
Shinitaika
Derived?
Kösk

Tier Piece Distribution
Paladin/Priest/Warlock = 3 toons
Rogue/Mage/DK/Druid = 3-4 toons (is Kosk going to be available??)
Hunter/Warrior/Shaman/Monk = 5 toons

Hey Team,

Just an update I am now living in the Philippines and as most of you know I am in an area where the Typhoon was so getting a stable internet connection has been hard to come by. saying that I should be on this weekend as I am going to buy a 4g dongle which should be good enough for me. So hopefully I can raid with you guys or atleast on bosses in which no one needs loot.
Look forward to chatting with you guys on vent and raiding again.

Cheers,
Kosk
