The Pants raid thread, with tactics 2/6 SSC 3/5 MH. UPDATE 1/9 BT

Nice going

I've done some raiding in SSC myself. Its abselutly doable to do several raidbosses. I think some would be hard though.

I did take Leotheras if you haven tried it yet though.

A little trick I made up on the Inner demons:

Make a macro that deselects everyones target.

Then make another macro that nukes lightningbolts on Leotheras if you dont have a target currently, or just shoots lightining bolts on your targets if you got one.
The deal is that when you deselects all targets, you will automatically get the Inner demon when he attacks your alt. So with this nuke macro, every alt (or main) that got an inner deamon will attack it, if not it will attack leotheras The only thing you need to be aware of is the direction they are facing. I often find it usefull just to move backwards to get the Inner Demon on the right side.

Nice tip Although we might be skipping alot of SSC only go for T5 bosses in there and in TK.
Progress is going good and wiping in SSC is not to much fun, considering MH/BT loot is so much better
Another thing i noticed is that the focus of the guild is so much better in MH/BT than in SSC/TK, maybe people realize that they are in an end-game instance?

Something like this[/url]

Man, I just finished the grind for the Merc. Glad Spellblade on my shammies - 4 solid days of AV queues and getting rolled in EotS, all for 20 EotS marks and 25,200 honor. How long did it take for you to finish the PvP grind? I'm thinking about just getting the next 15k honor for the shield and calling it quits.

Actually dont know how long it took me
Just did the daily every day... And then going for marks in the BG i needed them in

After a whipefest in SSC today, we decided to just kill Rage Winterchill again and call it quits.
Will raid again on Friday

Love to hear how you do on Leo, I had some trouble trying to dual box that. Then again healers.

Goodluck!

Leo was not so hard while boxing, i just added /target inner demon after my /assist bit.
However, the rest of the raid noobed all over the place, DPSers that couldnt kill their inner demon, and people standing next to the lock tank.
On the only real try we had, we wiped at 26%, adn went to MH instead.

LoL, on lurker below, as a shadowpriest (not multiboxing) I always just stay in the water the whole time and let VE keep me healed XD

Yeah, as SP that encounter is easy too
Some of my philosophy is to never be a strain on the raid..
I would much rather be an asset to the raid, taking tasks that noone else wants or can do.
In MH for example, the frost wyrms are my responsibility (with my 5th party member) i dont need an extra healer and the wyrm is dead before the gargoyles anyhow.
On other trashpacks i kill necromancers with the melee, i tend to tank them with my grounding totems so a healer is not needed there either.
My group is self-sufficient in HCs, and i tend to be so on raids too, for example on Naj'entus in BT, i always get my boys full on HP on my own because i know it is a healer heavy fight.
And that fight is won by healers, not the DPS.
If every raid group had the same teamwork and coordination and group synergy that a FOCUSED multiboxer has, progress would be easy

As the same on lurker, the fight would be hard on a healer if he had to heal 8000 extra on my guys every 10seconds...
