General Information

Gentlemen.

I'll get right to the point. The key element to succeed in this run is to maximise our raid DPS, which has to be at least 40k. I require of everybody to bring a Flask of Endless Rage, and Malakali/Bishibosh their respective appropriate flask. In addition, I want everybody but Bishi get a stack or two of Potion of Speed. Food is good.

The current line-up is:

Anfield of Raid to Nowhere, blood DK.
Bishibosh of Beyond Infinity, resto shaman.
Footwear of Synergy, retribution paladin.
Graviess of Original, enhancement shaman.
Malakali of Raid to Nowhere, protection warrior.
Malkor of Teddybears of Doom, fury warrior.
Mcevul of Raid to Nowhere, blood DK, whelp tank.
Soik of Teddybears of Doom, mutilate rogue.
Stahl of RTFM, retribution paladin.
Wahee of witches of darkshire, retribution paladin.


Reserves/potential members are:
Cloudstrife of Deadwood, fury warrior.
Gwynin, fury warrior.
Metakerk of Death or Mau Mau, resto shaman.

I will want one retribution paladin be spec'd into Blessing of Kings. Write in your comment if you will be the one. [UPDATE - Footwear will have it.]

Raid is scheduled to begin at 19:00, Thursday, 9th of April, invites go out at 18:30. If you *just* come online at 19:00, or expect to, buy your flasks/pots from Wednesday, and you'll get summoned quickly.

We will be using Ventrillo for the fight. No details yet, I'll either edit this post or send you all an in-game mail with them.

Do NOT get saved beforehand.

Tactics

Buffs I want down - Blessing of Kings & Might on DPS, a Wisdom on Bishi; Windfury Totem, Horn of Winter, Healing Stream Totem. Footwear does Retribution Aura, Stahl does Fire Resistance Aura, Wahee does Shadow Resistance Aura. Vigilance on Stahl.

The fight:
- everybody gets buffed with Water Walk; we move to northwest corner, closer to Sarth.
- battle is engaged; I use Tricks of the Trade on Malakali, who strives to get the best TPS he can.
- 0:20; Heroism. (first try Bishibosh, then (if we wipe) Graviess; repeat)
- 0:30; Tenebron lands, Malakali taunts him, gets a bit of aggro, moves back to Sartharion.
- 0:35; Paladins pop Avenging Wrath, NOT earlier (too much DPS).
- ~1:00; Tenebron's whelps hatch; Mcevul goes Frost Presence at 0:55, once whelps hatch does a DnD on them, Icebound Fortitude, continues DPS on Sarth; Pestilence once whelps get close.
- ~1:15 and/or Sarth @ 20%; Shadron joins the fight; Paladins get Divine Protection + Hand of Sacrifice on Malakali (Footwear and Wahee), same on Mcevul (Stahl)
- ~1:30, at the latest, Sartharion is down, we all die due to Tenebron - Vesperon, but get title/achievement anyway. Naked gnomes and male night elves fill your screen. No, it won't go away when you close your eyes, babycakes.

If Mcevul dies at any point, or loses aggro, Malakali should AoE Taunt.
The shamans should keep their Fire Elemental totems unused, unless we wipe once or twice.

Any questions or observations, send them to me via in-game whisper/mail.
