Saber Lashes were not splitting last night. Could it be because one tank is avoiding it, so the other tank takes the full brunt of the hit, or is it really just a Tauren thing?

Avoiding it doesn't do anything, I somehow manage to avoid most saber lashes.

Thanks for this

Source: Wulv I think it will be. I think it has been a wake up call to a bunch in my guild who thought we would be able to plow through it with whatever group makeup we could put together. We didn't have issues in Kara with mixing group makeup that much but ZA seems more unforgiving.

I'll say. Wasted three hours on Nalorakk + trash last night... and my casual raid group spends three hours per raid. >_<

A Retribution paladin with okayish healing gear is NOT a replacement for an actual healer. *grumbles* Tried to tell the raid leader, but he refused to listen.

At least we got him down...

Some things my ZA group picked up on last night on P3 Zul'jin.

1) Tornado will chase you down, but as soon as they hit you they find another random target. So, instead of running around like a headless chicken it's better to stand there an take it like a man because it will maximize cast time for both healers and DPS. Just make sure you don't stand against a wall or you can get hit multiple times off a rebound.

2) Assign 1 healer per 2 players, with all healers keeping an eye out for the MT. Healers should wait till one of their assigned players is at half health and only throw big heals. They should be throwing ~3 heals before healing themselves.

Gear note for eagle boss:

For Eagle boss i think it helped alot to put on some Nature Resistance gear. I put on Wildguard Helm and Wildguard Chest. It made it much easier for our healers.

Kind of an off topic question...but in the 2 videos shown for the first 2 bosses on the first page, what is the Addon in the lower right corner that looks like a graphical combat log?

What I have forgotten is the name of the addon to make easy marking that is on the top right corner ^^

Just pointing this out, but on every attempt on Zul'jin (Quite a number... the jerk doesn't want to die) that we've reached the lynx phase, I have diligently intervene'd on the target of fixate but from what I can tell, I never recieve damage for it, and the target always gets hit by the attack.

I'm thinking intervene doesn't work in regards to fixate =/

P.S.

How do you guys handle Phase 3/4? In phase three we typically lose 1-2 people, and everyone has a grand old time cursing stupid encounter mechanics, followed by phase 4 where everyone clusters behind the lynx so that melee never has to stop DPS'ing, and we typically lose "more" people due to fixate hitting clothies, rogues, etc, anyone with low HP. Are there any other tactics to this any of you can think of?

My raid also got thrashed in the Lynx phase of Zul'jin once we figured out the "retarded" third phase. Any advice on when to intervene during fixates?
