Blizzard AE in BRD

awesome videos! what add ons are you using? mainly interested in the party cast bar, cooldown, and buff tracker you have set up. I've been looking for something to do that, but classic add ons have been hit or miss so far..thanks in advance!

1) Party cast bars are IsBoxer with VFX to the castbars of my minions - very low tech
2) Same with the hotkeys / cooldowns - VFX to 4 of the actionbar slots on the minions (with click-through)
3) Buff tracker is part of Shadowed Unit Frames (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addon...ed-unit-frames)

Thanks - Could you share your lock and warrior full builds as well? I run same team comp but not using blizzard/rain at all - might be loosing out

I don't think it's significantly more or less effective than the Arcane Explosion setup (though different pros and cons), it's just another style, so I guess it comes down to preferences :-)

Builds for level 54:

I have a noob question but how/what addons did you use to setup the Party frame to the left on your warrior with the cast bars, water, poly etc? Is that through VFX?

ah hah! didn't think of doing that, thanks for the tip!

There's a number of things that can help you with aggro:

1) Make sure your imp is buffing you with fire shield (if you have a warlock)
2) Put a spike on your shield
3) Make sure your warrior has talent points in improved demo shout / battle shout
4) Make sure your healer has the threat reduction talent points
5) Make sure your tank is specced protection and is using defensive stance

If you have that covered and your healer is still pulling aggro, make sure your tank has decent gear (doesn't have to be great) and that you're doing level appropriate content. Most of the time, when doing big AoE pulls, you'll want to work on green mobs.

On number three are you saying imp demo increases the threat generated per shout? I searched far and wide on this and could not find something that validated this. Awesome if true ... and means I’ll have to respec a third time

I haven't seen it documented anywhere, but to be honest I just assumed that the threat generated was based on the amount of attack power reduction, thus meaning that increased reduction equals increased threat. That being said, I would love to skip the talent, so if anyone actually has any evidence either way - please share :-)

Update: The only info I've been able to find on this is here: https://github.com/magey/classic-war...ved-demo-shout - concludes that improved demo shout does NOT increase threat generation.
