On another note, Tree, do you want to make a seperate forum for WWS so these reports don't start taking up pages and pages of the PVE Instancing forum?

Ps. Nerf Mojo!

Cheers,

Thanks Tree.

Just quickly, one thing I forgot to mention is the pets that I'm assigning to each player (totems, elementals etc). I don't know each casting class that well so if you see that I've assigned a 'pet' to the wrong class or person within that class let me know and i'll adjust accordingly.

Cheers,

It just occurred to me: are hunter's constantly refreshing Scorpid Sting during the Phase 2? Scorpid Sting would be a massive help to achieving passive crush immunity.

Just thought of that now since it never seems to get mentioned during the raid.

I will spam shield block, t.clap and trinket as a top priority, but 2 block charges can get eaten up really quickly when he's thrashing. Its sometimes unavoidable cos I can't stop auto attacks completely.

Also, Ironshield Potions! I need to get my hands on some of those.

I know Prince went down smoothly last night the 2nd time, but I'm sure we could reduce the luck factor of it some more. Its still abit 50/50 during phase 2.

I try and remember to use viper sting on caster targets but read somewhere that scorpid is a waste of time on a damage per mana basis. Happy to pull it back out and start using it if you feel it's worthwhile Wilbs..

A word of warning. Don't get too obscessed with dmg meters ... stats can be read in any number of ways.
With respect to you tactics reducing your DPM or DPS, that doesnt really matter unless:
a) you are running out of mana when using consumables etc.
b) you have no abilities that dmg reduction/buff/cc/heal raid members.

What really matters overall is are you bringing more to the overall output of the raid by doing something different with your tactic/spec. Take it from me, i've become the most desired little beastie to have in a raid group because of not what i do, but what i enable those around me to do.
e.g. There's the little aura buff 5% crit to party but things like +3% hit for melee & ranged with imp FF does zip for my DPS or DPM. However for the raid it means that the tanks, which are never hit capped hit 3% more = 3% more from all your top threat generators without blowing agro. It also means that all of the melee and ranged who are not hit capped get 3% more on top of whatever they were holding back. I play that off aginst my agro management talents which mean that i personally am holding back maybe 10% more than i'd need to. But that means everyone else is collectively adding a crapload more than that.

So, while i personally love that stats packages and all their wonderful detail (like who had DoTs up the most etc ... you can pick the lazy ones :D) make sure you balance it out with what is going to add most to the raid group. Topping DPS charts doesn't down bosses, the whole raid downs bosses. Unless you are on a timed boss like in ZA or a tight engrage timer, play it safe, a controlled fight is quicker in the long run than a blasty blasty hope he doesnt crit me fight.
