Threat Set

Posted 04-21-2008 at 10:24 AM by Rayne
Recently I found religion and really started creating a set for 5-mans and raid trash. A long time ago I read about threat sets and it was suggested that SBV was an excellent stat to stack for threat. So I had outfitter max a set for Block rating (often pieces with one have both), made a few tweaks to it to increase SBV and remain uncrittable, stepped back, decided no way in hell I was tanking an instance in that gear, and basically left it alone (I do use it in H.MgT for the fishes, and it's...

Crash and Burn

I attempted to sit for last Wednesday's raid, which was a rehash of content we had completed already. I just needed a break and not that we raid alot(3 nights/week) I wanted the raid to go on and give some new folks a chance and just hang loose on a Wednesday night.

Well, I got called in before the first boss died.

Ok, so I tried again the next night and after Lurker was down, I got called in again, this time to replace the RL/GM who was having connection issues....

Do you have the Edge?

The Edge is that tone in your voice that when you are really cranky... I mean super annoyed right from the get go that people just know and they know not to mess with you.

I fell asleep before the raid yesterday and a buddy of mine had to phone me to wake me up so that I didn't sleep through the raid. Suffice to say I'm not the most happy person after a nap. In fact, I may be the least happy person on earth. I definitely had the Edge. I never realized I had it, but ya... I do. Now...

I sat here this weekend and pondered a few thinks, mostly looking back on the week of raiding I had, and one critical moment stood out at me -- I lost aggro to my OT during a silence on gruul. I can't begin to express in words the detestation you feel when you realize that the game mechanics just crushed your characters soul (and not a crushing blow melee hit either). So you might ask yourself, how did this happen? well, I think I can sum it up in: low spell damage + silence + OP warrior offtank....
