If you are going to post for a VoD on hard, let me make some friendly suggestions:
1. When you ask for someone to tank after we get into VoD, this scares me.
Please have a capable tank ready before we go into the sub especially on hard or elite.
2. Please don't forget to get a rogue (even a splash will do) to disarm the traps.
3. Please make sure group is prepped for the finale against the waves of bats. e.g. crowd control, any rebuffs.
Thanks for your understanding. :)
You don't really need to disable the traps,unleass you want to get more xp.Quote:

LOL. I'm better now.Quote:

Amen to that.Quote:

As for tanks, however - I'm happy with anyone with 600 HP and 20% (or better) Healing Amp on Hard. They can be kept up with one cleric's Heal scroll cooldowns.
We were pugging this raid on elite @ 16... it astounds me that at 20 this is suddenly so much more difficult :(Quote:
