[10] intentionally wiping on thaddius

[daemonym]

so a healer in our 10s group can't seem to stay alive on thaddius past the second charge, and occasionally the first. unfortunately we don't have anybody able to replace them so i'm going to try and force them to learn...by doing the fight over and over until they get it. others have issue with it as well, but usually cross charges for 1 tick of the explosion before getting into the clear.

so i was wondering if there was a mechanic like nightbane in kara if somebody is too far away he starts splattering everybody. otherwise i'll have to di the OT on one then bubble and bop the OT on the next. also, if you think i'm just a dick fro doing this and there's a better way to get them to simply look at a -/+ icon please let me know.

Well I hope you get a replacement for that healer because they are a liability but it's perfectly safe to have them stand off all alone. This will cost you a decent chunk of dps though.

Yeah, if you all jump off the platform he'll freak out and kill everyone.

Are you doing negative left, positive right. Run straight through and turn around when DBM tells you to switch sides? (He IS using DBM right?)

ya everybody has dbm installed and running, or claim to at least. and we also do ------BOSS+++++ run straight through if you have to move, all standing at max melee range. if we had a replacement i would, but we still have to pug 2 spots a week just to raid. as for jumping off, what if only 1 or 2 people jump off same thing or they just sorta hang out there or just those 1-2 get dead?

[majorwoo]

I believe it's the person with aggro jumping off the ledge that is sufficient to enrage him.

*edit*
Oh he'll kill the entire room. Everyone dies on Thaddius, there is no reset.

/dbm ver

will tell you who is, and isn't. won't tell you if someone's running BigWigs (obviously), but if you've requested DBM specifically, this will list out those not in compliance.

Do they die on Heigan? These fights will show you who in your raid has fail fps and probably just lag so much they cant keep up. Most of the time you wouldn't even notice but it definitely is a liability.

failbot is fun to point out the names of those who fail repeatedly.

we usually have a few die on heigan but those that die never cross charges on thaddius.

Well, one possibility would be to have this healer stand 35 yards left or right of Thaddius and just heal the main tank the whole time w/o moving ever. Granted, the rest of the raid isn't going to benefit from this person's charge buff... but if she's dying anyways, they aren't losing out on anything. At least she'd be alive to heal.

but the point is to make them learn not to die to something this simple.

Have you tried making them solo heal that fight?

Have you tried making them solo heal that fight?

Is the damage intake on Stalagg/Feugen low enough that they could solo heal that part?? Selling it tothe raid is the hard part, IMO.

Perhaps if you DI'ed the other potential tank, it'd be a guaranteed wipe (if not a fast one). Losing 2-3 DPS in the time it takes them to realize what happend would tip the scales, I think. (Long DI timer for the loss, though...)

Just bubble and run into the opposite charge group. Half the raid dead, wipe.

You could have an offspec or real healer on the pre-bosses. Just make sure that on the real boss they know that if die that's death for the group. Also repeated uses of LoH and/or a blood dk could help.
