SA AD3 vs King Drayek

<P>that is disgusting.. (in a good way!!) and only a portion of our total damage.  </P> <P> </P> <P>Are we the new kings of dps? </P> <P> </P> <P>(nice meeting you at the raid last night!) </P>

<P>Well we got our first 60 necro in the guild the other day (two more sitting at 59 I think .... then lil ole slow me) and Im looking forward to parsing the new scout pet at ad3.  I thought I was going to get my chance last night against Darathar.  (BTW nice to meet you too Legal and thanks for coming)</P> <P>Unfortunately he bugged every encounter and the encounters were very short.</P> <P>I believe on the final fight (kill him 100%) he only had a total of like 150K hp's.  </P> <P>I was expecting a longer fight, so when my scout pet died (was late last night so didnt check to see how he died - I thought I had him positioned with the rest of the raid safe from tail swipe - but having him there could have made him susceptable to ripostes - whatever)  I resummoned him which cut back on my DPS abit. </P> <P>Im not sure how many summoner pets died and were resummoned like that, but had I known it was only going to be a 1 min fight I would have just went DPS for those 10 secs.  I also threw 2 heals on the main tank and in the end of the encounter I was not happy with my DPS, but on the bright side we won so who cares.</P> <P>Oh well.  I'll be better prepared for him next time</P>

<DIV>My pet died when Darathar was at about 50%, from two AoE's.  I noticed how quickly Darathar's hp was dropping, so instead of making another pet, I continued to nuke.  Lich + tap, aoe tap, darkness, and coil  is a pretty good rotation for healing yourself and doing decent damage in about 8 seconds (about 2600 dmg, heal yourself for about 1000).   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The aoe to start the fight dropped my pet to about 10% hp and I knew I'd have to make the re-cast or nuke decision during the battle.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>His AoE's hurt us casters as well.    </DIV>

<DIV>I dont think the heat based AE Dot was what was killing our pets, but rather either his tail whip or a nasty riposte.  I'll check the log when I get home from work, but either way you did the smart thing and just kept casting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, I donned all my heat resist gear which allowed me to only take 5-600 a tick from the heat DoT (about 4K resist) - which allowed me some room to heal the MT, but it also cut down my dps a bunch.  I think next time I will find a happy medium between int gear and heat resist gear.</DIV>

I can't wait to see the parses on the 60 necro pet either.  60 Conj in my guild usually gets @ 400 pet dps using rogue pet on Epics.  That's just....sick. Add our single-target superiority...gotta be a monster number. <div></div>
