This is called a wipe

Topic: PvE, Raiding|

Yes we have managed to kill Sarth 3 drakes. No, Last night was not one of those attempts. For whatever reason, (new tank, too many people dead, MT squished etc etc) between the 2nd drake landing, AOEing adds, Twilight Torment and the 3rd drake landing is when it all goes to the crapper.

On certain fights when the waves were nice, Tenebron was down before Shadron landed. Adds dropped pretty quick.We just were not getting Shadron down as much as in the past and thus were unable to stay alive long enough without someone important (healers/tanks) squishing. Expensive night….

It goes something like this…

This you may be able to still get through.

sarth
This means dead.

We had 3 locks, each one of us in a different spec. H is 0/53/18 spcced heavily into demon buffs and fire damage and runs with an imp, T is 0/52/19 and runs with a felguard and I’m affliction in a 53/0/16 build. H and I have pretty similar gear, T is a bit behind us.

I find it interesting comparing the spells we use and the differences in each of them. My fire damage is lower than the demo/detro locks so I focus more on shadow…but they hit a lot harder….some of the largest parts of our damage come from the AoE of the adds and staying alive. It was entirely possible to fluctuate between 2700-5700 dps in any given fight based on
1. when we wiped
2. how much AoEing we had done
3. if we were alive or dead and the raid was still going

21 wipes is a lot. We eventually took out Vesperon and just downed the first 2. I’m saving these numbers for comparison…and because I’m curious how the spec changes in 3.1 are going to affect everything…..We shall definately be finding out sooner rather than later…..
