DK+4 rets: How to manage FEAR bombs
When I would get fear bombed in arena I used to just trinket all of them. So a second fear could many times be fatal. One pally or my DK would die easily.
Somehow last night I ended up playing against a 2400 MMR team. I'm around 1820 or so. I don't know why the stupid system put me against them but it did. And to my surprise I beat them. I got lucky a little bit because one of their DPS came after me and he was out of sight of his healers for a just a few seconds which was enough to land me a kill. After which it all went downstream for them.
But the critical thing was how I managed fear. They had a priest and a lock I think. That combination is often lethal for me if they time their fears right.
So here's how it works. Do NOT trinket all the pallies. Do this:
Trinket pally1. Immediatelly on that pally target pally2 and spam Cleanse.
Then spam Cleanse with all pallies on pally3.
Then spam Cleanse with all pallies on pally4.
This can be done with macros, although a little cumbersome, but it can be done.
You need 4 general cleanse macros for each pally. Let's call these G1, G2, G3, G4.
And you need 4 macros that does "trinket + target next pally + cleanse". Let's call these T1, T2, T3, T4.
I think with some cast sequences you could do this in just 4 buttons. Let's say on button one: first cast is trinket + cleanse on next pally, then cleanse on 3rd pally, then cleanse on 4th pally. On button 2, pally1 does only cleanses, no trinket, but pally2 does trinket and then cleanse. etc.
At the first fear bomb, you spam T1, then G3, G4. This puts the trinket of pally1 on CD. [If the case sequence thing works, then you just spam one button. I haven't tried it yet though.]
At second fear bomb, you spam T2, then G4, G1. This puts the trinket of pally2 on CD.
Etc.
If you practice this and do it real fast while watching some mod that tells you when all fears are off, in a couple of GCDs (i.e. 3 seconds) all pallies are out of fear and you only blow ONE trinket instead of FOUR.
Also, while this is happening, make sure you press some DK defensive ability so that until pallies get out of fear he doesn't die from focussed dps.
Hope this helps...
