Downfall saves Azeroth!

Downfall defeats Algalon 10man!

This is the server 3rd kill of Algalon, behind only <Kill Order> and <Rawgrlgrlgrrgle>.

It's also a momentus event because something has plagued Lava Crab since Ulduar was released.  We've had massive healer turnover.  First Karvinen had to leave due to a summer job (and arguably a lack of interest).  To replace him as a healer, Disrupta stepped up - traditionally being only a PvP tree healer.

Then Moriella left due to work getting very very hectic, and Zildo left due to ... well, as far as I remember, the desire of having a social life!  During this time, Hexlord stepped in to heal, and he too eventually had to leave.

To fill those voids, we had Nickarito - who was not a hardcore raider before joining Lava Crab - and his brother Onrique, who only healed on a druid pre-BC and had never healed on a shaman step in to heal.  And now, in a matter of maybe a month or so, they have gone from absolutely green healers, to healing some of the most difficult fights this game has to offer.

Good job everyone!

I hope no one gets any ideas

Disrupter — Sat, 08/29/2009 - 01:33

I hope no one gets any ideas about making me permanent heals in the future.

I swear, I'm bad, and I will let you die.

I'm serious, you will all die, I do like 500 hps.

Onrique — Sat, 08/29/2009 - 17:09

I have been healing since the beginning of vanilla wow. I dont mind healing for lava crab, but i will never be a full time healer again.

On a related note, I think this is a good spot for me to thank all of the members of lava crab for putting me up on their shoulders and carrying me to a drake and an algalon kill. You guys kick ass and i love raiding with you.

2/5 T9 testing

Shihli — Sat, 08/29/2009 - 00:13

Looking over the data, it *looks* like having the 2/5 T9 set bonus is a dps increase, however it might not be a very large one.

The 180str/15sec (45sec internal CD, 50% proc rate) had an uptime of about 15% over the course of the night, approx. a constant benefit of 27 Strength.  Not very huge.

Might have to do more testing.  I know the 4pc bonus will be a big deal, but the jury's out on if the 2pc is worth swapping out from T8 just yet.

I'm guessing most of that

Keisjaa — Sat, 08/29/2009 - 09:39

I'm guessing most of that lack of gain has to do with you going from a 4pce that probably benefits your spec the most to a 2pc that's a bit less optimal(than say for blood)

I'm tempted to try it out on frost DW but the upgrade gear wise is meh

Looking at the Vexaz parse it's up 24.5% of the time (since that's as close to tank & spank as we had) I'm a little underwhelmed though
