This post is just to confirm to a certain hunter that I will indeed report on this run (hah!) But not in the way he might have thought.
So yes. Yesterday I joined an attempt at Sartharion plus three drakes.
I had specced HaT, since it's the only raid spec I hadn't tried yet, and brib..I mean, asked the raid leader if I could be put with the hunters.
For the information I managed to gather from them in the secret hunter party channel, I refer to the 'things we know about hunters' subpage.
Other than that I must say HaT was a pretty fun experience. With four hunters providing me with combo points, I was constantly throwing out Eviscerates. The crits were around 7k-9k. Since I was running dual Anesthetic Poison to keep elementals under control (and sort of failed at it) I can't really say how poison damage was.
The guild had tried this encounter a few times before, but now we got some practice on a new tactic and a different raid leader. Sadly though, it seems this night was one of those nights. I think about eight people had problems one way or another (random disconnects, power surges, connection resets and who knows what else) so I don't think we ever got an attempt in where everyone was online the entire time *shrug*
On the positive side, we've now used up our bad luck quota!

Quick tip for controlling the Elementals (I'm planning on writing a full post on it eventually though I may not with 3.1 dropping).
ReplyDeleteGrab a second set of weapons and put Anesthetic on them, then use a macro to switch to those weapons and fan of knives and have another macro on your main attack (eviscerate, hemo, sinister strike, mut, whatever) to switch back to your main weapons.
This lets you keep your poison damage up.
*makes mental note*
