Funny you should mention Lady D aggro. I was listening Hunting party podcast 19 and pet tanking an ICC boss. If you left your pet with growl on all through phase 1 it would be able to tank the first phase of phase 2. It should be able to build up a massive lead on threat. The backend of phase 2 could be hairy though.
Wonder if he could build up enough threat to tank all of phase 2?

That was a very fun night. I must say I have been having a lot of good times in Wyrmfoe. Glad to feel like I am contributing as well.
Remind me not to stand anywhere near Lady D during the phase transition though. I tend to be highest on the threat list for melee people, which means that she wants to slap me as soon as the barrier drops, and she slaps hard. Makes me feel like a total noob. That fight seems to bring out the bad in me for some reason.

Congrats Frost we had a noob weekend in my guild where 3 people of our 10 man just could not get the idea of staying out of the fire on the 1st boss in ICC after about 8 wipes we decided to move on its frustrating when other people cause the raid to wipe. The core 7 players made it all the way to the enrage timer as the 3 mainly dieing were dps which left us short to kill the boss in time. Glad your new team is working out so well and so quickly.

I like the Patchwerk test idea. What do ya reckon would be an acceptable DPS number would be? I suspect the best way to go about it would be to split the 25 man raid in half.

Ha! Beating out melee who are on Saurfang full-time is always a treat. I end up on Kinetic Ball duty on the Council, though, and it’s rarely a one-shot. So my overall meter never ends up being as impressive. I doubt it would be anyway (Frost’s numbers are always a bit out of reach for me), but I would at least be closer. I always enjoy the meters though…gives me something to “shoot” for (pun intended).

But a one-shot on 25M is indeed impressive for Saurfang. It’s not an easy encounter. Sounds like Wyrmfoe is progressing nicely.

We were missing a couple of raid buffs on this run (most notably no 4% physical damage ’cause no combat rogue). I don’t have a screenshot of any of the patchwerk runs. We wouldn’t split into two raids, because we want people to be able to measure their dps with as close to max raid buffs as possible (make it as fair a measurement as we can).

I found Koralon to also offer an excellent dps check with a bit longer time on the clock. I got lucky this week and never found myself stuck in a cinder so I button mashed as fast as I could. I figure even with a small amount of movement to dodge a flame here or there he is a great single target test.
