Small Heroic Mana Tombs Guide

Just finished a Heroic Mana Tombs run with guildies which went very well (only died twice cuz of overnuking oO) so here are some general tips :

Group setup (not sure if this is ideal but it works well)

* Protection Warrior
* Feral druid (with dps gear)
* Fire/Arcane Mage
* Affliction Warlock (your's truly)
* Holy Priest

Bosses

Pandemonius needs to be tanked by the prot Warrior, who's standing with his/her back against the wall on your right side as you enter the room. The feral Druid goes catmode with DPS gear on & stays behind the boss. The dps and healer stands in the corner on the right, so they dont get the knockback. Dont dps when he shifts into the void, spamheal the tank & burn the boss down asap are keywords here.
Shadow resistance gear for the tank is optional here.

Tawarok is a basic tank and spank fight, while the healer keeps up a HoT on the tank in case of the eartquake or the crystal prison. Pretty easy boss overall.

Nexus-Prince Shaffar has 3 balls around him. Mage opens the fight with a pyroblast on 1 add & kills it while the Warlock and Feral druid kill an other add. Then the mage starts AoEing the adds, while the feral Druid & the Warlock go all out on the boss, tanked by the prot Warrior. The faster you burn him down, the better. Kill any remaining adds afterwards & enjoy the loot! :)

We didnt summon Yor because i still need to get the quest done for it (doh, slackerbean!) , so if we'ld ever get to him i'll post a small guide on him aswell.

Trash

* Always kill the Priest(s) first in a pack
* When an add spawns those blue adds, kill those first, then kill the mob.
* Make sure to resheep very fast!

Drakedog 7 got released

Small Rant : Rouges vs Rogues

Right, as stated before, i'ld post about something which has been ticking me off for quite some time now.

As the title says : is it Rouges, or Rogues? Because some people dont seem to be able to spell it right.

It's ROGUES ,people, the class which backstabs you when you least expect it & can open lockboxes! And they can sap! (Sapped girls dont yell, as we all know)

There is no such thing as ROUGES, the word Rouge exists, its something you put on your cheeks to make it seem like you're blushing a bit. Would you put something on your face if you'ld see a Rogue? I wouldn't, thats for sure...

Just had to write a small rant about this because every day i see people spamming trade with "LF Rouge to open my lockbox" & stuff. I've never seen make-up open a lockbox to be honest.

2.1.3 Patch Hits PTR!

A new patch can be expect soon , people on PTR can already find out if it actually is useful.

Illidan Trinket = imba?!

Illidan Stormrage, the last boss in The Black Temple, drops a very interesting trinket.

Nothing special you may think, although the "use" effect is very nice?
Well, the trinket doesnt share cooldown with other trinket(s), so you can use this 1 and e.g. a spell damage increasing one at the same time!
It also has a 2 min cooldown, like every other trinket.

Slacking Pengo

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday, but we had a night off from raiding, and i went to the movies to (finally) see Pirates of the Carribean : At World's End.

Movie was ace, if you havent seen it, go do so, if you have seen it, buy the dvd! :)

I'll update this site soon with something that has been bothering me for quite some time now ...

Last night's Summary

So last night we ventured into Karazhan to gear up some people , and for the people who still need some random items & their T4 head (like me ;))

Had no problems whatsoever with the Attumen & Moroes, we skipped Maiden (couldnt be arsed to look under her skirt) , dropped Romeo & Julianne after a bad luck wipe, sent Curator back to the "I, Robot" movie & played some stripchess.

Was quite a fun raid, despite we didnt manage to kill Prince, but we'll go back today or tomorrow & get my T4 head (or at least i hope so ><)

Also guys please click the google ads to support me, trying to figure out which links are the most useful :)

*HOT* - Soloing Ramparts chest as a stealther

This is how you solo a chest in Ramparts without "hacks" or any programs, as a rogue and possibly with a lot of invisability pots and a class that can drop combat.

1st. Zone into a fresh instance, then kill the first 2 mobs at the beginning of the instance.


2nd. Kill the mob that patrols the bridge, he can see through stealth so he needs to be killed to get past.


3rd. Sneak up to the platform where the chest is (It's the second and final one in the instance for refrence, if you can't find it I can post pics to a way up there) and prepare to pull dogs.


4th. Pull the dogs from max range (where I am standing in picture 3) and turn around to run down back twards the enterence to The Ramparts, but don't jump down, instead run/jump into this little space, if done correctly, the mobs will sortof bug out and start running back to the entrance.


5th. Wait about 45ish seconds and then jump out of the space, and run for the chest, beware of the patrol that is usually up there, if you find you may not have enough time to loot the chest without the patrol getting to you, stay in the space.


6. Vanish when you reach the chest, loot, and enjoy the greens/blues, the 5g and the 2 or so pots that are in there, and reset!

Feel free to post a comment on the matter.
