As you can see, we went from #5 to #1 in six seconds and #4 to #1 in four seconds. Just, ZAM! and there we were.

Yes, if we had noticed our rate of threat generation was as much as it must have been, we would’ve FD’d. But we didn’t, so we didn’t, but we eventually did.

And that video is why I’m glad I never have to run nightbane with out a Tremor totem, lord knows how Ony/Nef didn’t drive me insane as pre-BC alliance.

Also, 4:52? No pre-emptive FD BRK? tut tut

One piece of advice though, the charred earth is about the width of the parapet and is always starts centered on a raid member, if everyone at range hugs one wall or the other you’ll always have one side of the parapet clear of charred earth, which means that you can’t get stuck at too close or too far a range.

Nice video, and gratz on the kill. I really enjoyed the analysis, especially coupled with the somewhat better quality video at Cayleigh’s blog. If you have time to do something else like that, it would be very much appreciated!

Yeah, here’s a tip: make sure your tank is somehow immune to it, because when i (as a cat druid) resist it and he doesn’t, i get turned into catburgers.

Congratulations on downing Nightbane! You-all have caught up to us minus downing Maulgar, which apparently you only haven’t done for lack of numbers.

This almost makes me want to play my hunter again. I think i stopped recently because it’s so much more work than these other classes. Proper trapping and pet management make it at least twice as complex as playing my druid at any given time, although maybe that’s just because i’m not well-practiced at trapping yet. BEGIN WHINE - My opportunities for practice feel somewhat limited. It’s easy to trap unto infinity when soloing, but in a group situation, there’s so much more to be aware of. - END WHINE

Yes, his fear has a range but it can also be resisted. I’ve resisted it multiple times on my rogue.

TJ needs to worry more about Frostsaber rep and less about the mentioning of names.

Can his fear be resisted? We want to say we saw “Resisted” on our screen but now we’re not sure.

BRK does not usually mention the other members of his parties or raids who don’t have blogs because he respects their privacy. But if TJ wants us to start naming names, we certainly know where we could start…

Hey BRK, I can’t view the video from work, but I notice at one point you said you “resisted” fear. His aoe fear has a relatively short range, maybe 30 yards. As a hunter, you should never be feared. You can stand outside of both the charred earth radius and the fear radius and never have to move the whole fight. Charred earth is also within a certain range, though it’s a little closer to your max range as a hunter, so positioning is a LITTLE trickier than on the Bellowing Roar.

3:34pm - the eight other unmentioned participants storm in and beat BRK to a bloody pulp.
