We finally pulled off our 25-man Yogg-Saron kill last night. After 2 nights of wiping we came in Wednesday and knocked it out in 4 attempts. Due to popular demand I decided that video would have more of a narrative rather than a random selection of music. I do my best to outline what’s going on in the video to help get everyone a better understanding of the fights.
I know I am missing Auriaya and General Vezax videos, but there will be plenty of time for those too. :)
So feel free to leave your thoughts, comments, or criticisms in the comments. Or better yet, start up a thread on the forums about your thoughts on the fight, how you handle it or plan on handling it, etc. Collaboration rocks. :)
I uploaded the combat log to WoW Meter Online and you can view it right here. WoWWebStats has toruble parsing Yogg-Saron and I really like WMO chart feature tracking DPS over the course of a fight as well as key elements such as Rapid Fire/Bestial Wraths/etc.
Enjoy!
Awesome video. Guilds nowhere near Yoggy yet, but this could go a long way towards making the learning curve easier.
Glad you liked it. I plan on doing more videos focusing on commentary and strategy from here on out, hopefully people get use out of it. :)
Good job! Seeing a fight is always more helpful than reading about it, and seeing it with explanation of what’s going on is even better :)
Eidtalheg´s last blog post..In Before De-claw
gz on the kill, your english is quite understandable, even for a german =)
even thou u say u pulled out good numbers with MM, did u ve mana issues like i ve? i am currently respeccing on some bosses to sv as mana is such an issue (general yogg and mimion). our palas don’t really understand that its important for me to ve jow on the boss :<(
There were a few times I had to use Viper even after double Rapid Fires. I definitely went through my mana pool more quickly, but we did have a couple other people in the raid reminding people to JoW and what not. :)
I feel like I missed it, but why not stand in the green beam the entire time? Does it have a limit on how many people it effects at once? Any cons what so ever?
@Shmii I did forget to mention that. DPSing while in the Sanity Well reduces your damage by 50%
Throw your pet on a corruptor tenticle thats nearby that’ll give him something to do. Also, you didnt touch on the stacks that the crusher tenticles get, didn’t appear that you guys were DPS on/off on them so it looks like you’re just ignoring it which is one way to do it. Good vid overall man, grats on the kill!
Yeah, on earlier attempts I was more actively sending my pet around. I did forget the stacks on the tentacles but they weren’t an issue on our kill so they slipped my mind during the video. I am sure lots of this will be cleaner in subsequent kills.
Nice video. Looked for a while for something showing a hunter PoV. I was on the brain team for our first attempts tonight and had a heck of a time avoiding the skulls. I’m sure there is a trick to it and if I keep going in I’ll get the hang of it, but what did you find as the best way of doing damage while avoiding the skulls?
We got to phase two on about 4 of our 10 attempts (not bad for our first night on him) and we were using the left, right, middle strat for the 10 people on the brain team.
Your best bet really is to try to avoid looking at them the best you can. I ended up becoming a staple part of the Crusher DPS group letting Rogues and some other classes go in the portals. Just make sure your sanity is high before you go down there.
