OK … the first time we did Lurker it went just like your movie (after one wipe) which I attribute partly to my setting up the Hunters to handle things as you so nicely describe (and mostly to the superb work by healers and the tank). More recently we have not done so well. I have had to use less experienced and equipped Hunters so one island had trouble getting its adds down (not helped by the mage who insisted on using the “keep one add sheeped through the whole fight” tactic. The trouble is that the mage went down to spout and the add immediately took out a healer. My real problem is that my pet BearToo is getting killed by the whirlwind. This did not happen on the earlier success and I am puzzled at what I am now doing wrong. Comments anyone?

I know this is probably lost since the topic is so buried (3rd page), but I just wanted to say “Thanks!” to BRK for this video. I hit SSC last night for the first time and the video was much more helpful than any of the “hard rock” or “techno” soundtrack videos in describing what to do and specifically what a hunter should be doing.

Based on one of the above comments, as a “Thank You”, I’ve created a transcript of the video and I’ll e-mail that to BRK. He can use it as he sees fit.

BRK,

Could you be extra-special secret-sauce nice and provide a transcript of your videos? Normally, I’d try to zero in on the fracas and try to figure out what shot rotation and techniques you’re using, but since YouTube video captures of WoW are too blurry to read, a Deaf WoWer like myself cannot benefit from watching them.

A transcript? Pretty please?

Really, the voice over has been getting better, it was only in that section that I couldn’t hear without turning it up a bit. And it was just low, rather than fuzzy.

Bigger is nicer, but no, I don’t need it. Mostly, ’small’ implies ‘large’, and I was hoping.

Thank You Kindly.

Its not Omen. I use omen constantly. The horns is not an option, plus whatever BRK uses only sounds once when he gets aggro. Omen makes the sound non stop when you get hit and build more aggro.

The nagas “go live” at specific points. They cannot attack or be attacked until they reach these points. Where we drop that trap is the point where that one naga “goes live”.

When phase 2 starts I see BRK drop a trap, target a mob for Hobbes, and then run back to the edge of the island to start taking on the island mobs. One of the Naga then goes past BRK and hits the trap. How does that happen? Why doesn’t that Naga agro on BRK?

@Ataun

That would be the sound alert from Omen. I have mine set to war drums, since I’m more likely to notice it. Right click the Omen title bar, look for Alerts (or Warnings or something like that) and look for the sound alert option on the menu. They have some odd stuff in there.

Nice thing is you can set it to a certain % of aggro-holder threat, giving you an early warning system that’s audible. It can really help if you’re busy trapping, DPSing, keeping your pet alive and keeping debuffs/stings up on the main target all at once.

@Zahana

Crit Alert gives the laugh when you get a 666 crit.

What I want to know is what addon plays the Horns when BRK becomes the target of a mob.
