Sartharion 3D Zerg Strategy

[Kulldam]

Going to try the zerg method that is all the rage these days (see these search results (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=sartharion+zerg+10+man&aq=0&oq=sartharion+zerg) for examples), so need everyone to be specced and prepared for maximum DPS. Bring flasks and cooldown pots (Speed/Magic). Khrash will be tanking and Wild solo-healing, rest full DPS.

We have about 80 seconds to average 31,772 Raid DPS, which is actually just under 4,000 DPS per person on average for all 8 DPS (tank DPS not calculated in but obviously a minor boost).

If we cooldown pot just before the fight and once again mid-fight, that should be about 22-23 seconds of cooldown pot time and 45 seconds of Bloodlust time so I see no reason even our normally weaker DPS, such as myself, can't exceed that 4k DPS number over the duration.

As you can see in the videos, the strategy is simple: Start DPSing ASAP and once Sarth reaches 25%, have someone taunt Tenebron and run him away from the raid (as he enrages and goes a little crazy when Sarth hits 25%). Most anyone can do this that has taunt, though a movement speed buff helps to buy time (Rofl in unholy, Khee in bear to taunt then cat > sprint, etc.).

the use of pot pre-fight is something I'm a bit skeptical about, since if someone drink it at the wrong time, either he waste larger portions of it, or he'll be in combat and got locked out of it for the rest of the fight
(personally I'd say keep the pot for that 25% mark when we have to burn him down fast)

as for the person to hold off Tene, there's a few videos of this being done with Tene still on the tank, but just to be safe I'd nominate Khee since even in DPS gear he won't get crit due to Survival of the Fittest
though I'd say let him tank Tene in Bear(and swipe spam to get some DPS on Sarth as well) might be safer than trying to run away in cat(the drakes move quite fast, and the time switching to cat can be lethal)

Good Lord Rofl.... we're not a fucking PuG. Seriously man... wow.

I've done this strat before. The group I ran with wasn't able to do it, but even the semi-PuG almost had it down.

A big killer is keeping the DPS up. This becomes a bit of an issue if people spend too much time moving around. We need to understand positioning before we engage so when we pull everyone goes right to their spot and begin DPSing and only have to move for waves.

Kull, could you possibly draw up a floor plan of positioning so we all know where you want us during the fight? Or maybe you could just 2-box it and fraps the whole thing so we can see how to do it.

So at first I was totally down with taking your post seriously -- all signed pointed to legit and useful, then BAM, cockslapped right in the face. It hit me in the eye dude, not cool.








Also, try out DPSing Ugra for once, then you can drop sarcasm bombs!

When this cancer finally takes me you're gonna be sorry you were so mean all the time.
