Brief Event Overview

Bidils will teleport adventurers to the event area with use of the ready keyword.

Hand of the King is boss.  Bristlbane the King of Thieves creates havoc from the sidelines.

Throughout the event, Bidils tosses a Magnificent Planar Gem to random players.  Players must take action to avoid penalty.

Hand of the King will emote players in a game of scissors, paper, rock.

White rabbits will appear from North, South, West and East hallways and path to the Hand of the King.  They will lay a mystery egg if they reach the Hand of the King.

Bristlebane will call out players to perform emotes; bow, cheer, clap, dance, kneel, raise.

At 75% Bristlebane calls for a game of Tug-of-War. Black and White Jesters will spawn and attack.

At 40% Bristlebane will begin to emote players in a game of Freeze Tag.



Strategy

Assist MA.

Perform emotes for Bristlebane.

Pass the Magnificent Planar Gem immediately if you get it; Cold Potato achievement.

MEZ White Rabbits.  White rabbits will return to their start location if mezzed, without laying an egg.

Kill Jesters in pairs, 1 black and 1 white within 5s window.

Pick up red balls on ground and throw at frozen players to unfreeze them.

Sometimes I don't know how he puts up with us  ;D


24
Should rangers pick up two crystals, so they can get both green and yellow protection?  Without yellow, we can't toss the second round of Auspice of the Hunter.  The last mini dies just about the time that we would start casting the MGB round of Auspice.

Blue     Allows you to cast detrimental spells.
Green     Allows you to attack with weapons.
Yellow     Allows you to cast beneficial buffs.

IMO, as you are a DPS class, I would prioritize blue and green. If you can get the yellow, great. If not, we can toss out some extra COP4's.


KEEP IN MIND -

In stage 1 when we are killing the workers, each color spawns a total of 12 workers. Each worker drops 2 crystals. 48 workers X 2 crystals each = 96 crystals.

We have 54 people in the raid. There are not enough crystals in stage 1 to supply the raid with 2 crystals unless we crash the vibrating adds into the center pillar.


As a side note:

When our DPS for the night is strong, we need to be careful to not kill down multiple supervisors at once. We lose too much time to gather extra crystals for folks that are relying on those vibrating adds to get their 2nd and sometimes even 3rd crystals. Even more so when we have people looting extra for the All That Glitters achievement.


25
- Delivery in Full
-- Let all of the workers deliver their crystals to their supervisors.

*Strategy Changes for Achievement:
- Do not kill any workers. Allow them to deliver all crystals to Supervisors.
- No one is allowed to get All that Glitters achievement when doing this achievement.
- Supervisor Kill Order: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
- Crystals will be generated by blowing up the vibrating adds.


It is best to try for Crystal Crusher when doing this achievement as well, but will abort and kill adds if raid gets overwhelmed.

Greetings all,

In an effort to get everyone their All That Glitters achievement, 6 people will be assigned to loot 4 crystals based on Raid Attendance.

If you are not assigned, you are only to loot based on what your class absolutely needs to perform your role on the raid for that night.

Players who are chosen to loot for the achievement, it is your responsibility to make sure you get your crystals.

Also remember when in Duel wield you can hit Flash if need. Will add more thought when I have more time.

Precisely. This is why I'm not for 2h weapons, even if they output a little more damage. You are first and foremost a tank and need to be be able to tank immediately should another tank fall or unexpected adds, etc. Not being able to flash because you have a 2h weapon equipped could be the difference between a save or a wipe...or at least your own death.

Warrior / Re: Warrior DPS

I have only recently started trying to DPS on my warrior when not assigned a MT assignment.

I am currently stacking hDEX. I have about 3800~ with buffs, maybe more. I have thought about dropping some of the dex though to increase AC for tanking or even mix in some hSTR for increased hits, not sure though.

When DPSing I stick to dual wield and still use my tank weapons which do proc hate.

Ideally, I would only switch to my 2h weapon when using rampage and then swap back to dual wield, but even I'm not good at remembering. I should make a macro...

As a tank, I always only go for the best in slot item that is available for the current expansion. Other classes can easily get away with lower tier gear, but I feel as a tank, you shouldn't settle for anything less than the best.

As far as rotation, Fintank's post is mostly what you want to abide by. He is very good at what he does and his write up is detailed.

I have changed a couple things in my rotation, but I also don't output the DPS that I should/could.

Also you have to know the other tanks you're raiding with. Depending on who is tanking, sometimes I don't feel comfortable using Offensive Disc, because yes, I'm likely to take aggro with my weapon procs and then I'm taking more damage due to that 35% defensive mitigation.

raidloot.com - use it as a resource to compare the gear and know what you need to acquire.


Centare? Leeyo? Any other tanks want to add to this?
