It would help you a ton if you would use this in your spamming macro on your tank

#showtooltip SpellName
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use TrinketName
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast SpellName or /castrandom Spellname

This will silence all those errors and get rid of the item/spell not ready popups in middle of your screen.

Hope this helps

I've never really noticed it, but I'll give it a try. I have to get all the addons on this machine too. It seems to be running much smoother without all of the addons though. I just might leave it the way it is, but I'll definitely give the above a try.

Thanks for the tip.


Yeah

If you want it a little easier on Erekem.. Dont kill the adds till you've killed Erekem Then he dont get windfury, and wont do so much damage.

wow thats a huge monitor! lol

My eye's hurt just looking @ that picture. How the heck do you sit that close to either/and/or both of those?
I didn't see it the first time I looked, but I like the aeron chair you're sporting there.
Love mine

I sure hope you're not playing on a small monitor. You're missing out on a new way to play the game. You'll never switch back if you have the chance to play on a larger one. It makes the game feel 3D. I couldn't imagine the 4 other accounts on a smaller monitor since each one is about the size of a 13" monitor, which is pretty small.

On the larger monitor at 1920 X 1080 you see much more detail when the graphics are maxed than on a smaller monitor. It really looks amazing when you play it. Your eyes look into the distance with the larger monitor, or at least the illusion of distance. I have much less eye strain on the larger monitor than with my old one. It's hard to believe when I started playing the game at launch I had a 19"!

Try it if you have the ability. You'll never want to play on a small monitor again.

another quick question about your setup

how do u like the glass desk, i saw one at office max that i really liked the shape/design of it but it was a glass top like that and i just didn't think i'd like (for a few reasons)

i figured the reflections at night would be annoying (i use a lamp behind me for light is all for reduced reflections on my screens) and my tv is sitting about desk height behind my desk and it seems like it would reflect off the desk or even through the center of it. Do you notice this problem at all?
Also, the sound of clanking when u set things on it, or move your mouse arond does it seem to make any more noise than a wood surface desk?

How do you cope/do the Ethereal boss in Heroic VH? everytime i go hes always the first or second boss i get and i usually cant pass him at all, and my guys are decently geared mostly heroic epics/badge/few naxx peices.

Xevozz I think is his name. He's a pain, but like anything once you get a strat down that works for you it can be done. I watched the video of kiting him up the stairs, but this was too hard to pull off for me. What I eventually did was bind my mouse button (it's on the left side at the very bottom where my thumb is) to the backward key. I park the rest of the team on the middle of the stairs. When he spawns I get aggro with the pally, then hold the backward button down and kite him around in a figure 8 in front of the stairs while the group kills him. He seems to die pretty fast, but the orbs and porting you to the middle can kill it.

If an orb gets to him just use Divine Protection until the effect wears off. Run from him at that point and stop dps. It doesn't last too long and you can get right back to kiting him backwards once it wears off. If you get lucky he only ports your group to him once. He dies pretty fast if you wail on him. I'll try to fraps it if he comes up again.

Good luck and keep going after him. You'll get it.

I have read you can tank him in water, where the ice boss spawns (not swimming, but pretty deep) the adds wont come near you. Make sure to park the dps in back and when Xevozz is about to die drag him out of water or he can glitch on you.

edit: watched the vid there was a couple times where I thought your tank was a goner, nice recovery!

I 1-shotted all the bosses in here today after I saw it was todays daily heroic, contrasted with wiping a lot last week. Best pieces of advice I can give are -

1) do this early in the day, you really want to be focused and alert since its so timer-based (also COT). Every time I do this early I do well, whenever this is the last instance I run I do awful.
2) be geared up. Tank should have 25k hp / 540 def, casters should have 15k hp and 1600sp unbuffed.
3) drink drink drink drink between waves.

on last boss I simply would strafe left or right after teleport, press my follow key to re-orient everyone on boss, while simultaneously taunting/aveng shield on my tank. The DPS group did get stuck in blizzard a few times, but 3x heal stream totems plus my resto shaman spamming chain heal took care of that no problem, never dropped below 50% health really. A geared tank helps immensely in this instance, since you can kind of ignore the tank health for big chunks of time while healing everyone up.

The last few waves are awful, if you get 2 casters in the dragon packs they can take down a person in a few seconds. I had to ankh up on my resto shaman (and thought it would be a wipe honestly) but was able to drink and mana tide totem up to full before the dragon showed up.

No need to get Xevozz in the water. He gets pretty easy once you get used to it. Just bind a key to the back button and do figure 8s around the room while the dps gets him. If they fix the water trick you'll be happy you can do it the other way.

I'm sure others are feeling like I am at this point. Everything is pretty much on farm (except occulus) and it's time to start Naxx runs. Some of the fights will be just about impossible. At least right now. If we ever severally outgear the instance I'm sure we'll be able to do it, but until then the easier fights seem doable.

Once dual-spec comes out I'm sure this will be much easier for me, as is I'm too lazy during my farming runs to respec one of my shaman resto and it hurts me on fights that I need a dedicated healer. Oh well, I have so many dungeons on farm that I really dont need anymore.
