Your thoughts on Ruby Sanctum

[Szethius]

So far mine are pretty negative to be honest, maybe my guild and I had bad luck but when we went to run it. We cleared all mobs on the sides, then went to the middle to get the mobs that walk towards the center. We know we are suppose to kill the general first then the invokers, but our 10m group saw 9 npcs total including the x1 Commander x2 Invokers and the x2 Assault guys. We all had 5.5gs+ I know that doesn't mean much expect gear but, we wiped multiple times. I hold aggro very well and so does the Paladin with me, but I don't know. Where the enemies suppose to be stacked like that, or is that a bug? But yeah my first impressions of it are not that high :/

What are your thoughts on the new Raid?

[Phoboz]

So you wiped there? To trash? And some say its piss easy. I have yet to try it though.

[Reg]

So far I think the only thing this raid has prove is peoples' reliance on add-ons and AVR. I forbid people from using AVR in my guild even during ICC because I knew that all it would do is make them accustomed to have everything drawn out for them, literally. I went in to a RS10 pug since we don't really do 10s, and so many people were failing because they didn't realize they had the debuff or something of that nature and then dispellers were instantly dispelling it and killing the raid. Funny how not having a skull pop on your head to tell you that you are about to do something stupid is the difference between a failed and successful raid.

We got trolled!

We got trolled!

Butbut... He has LK in his sig? How can he be an evil troll?... *cries*

[Szethius]

As I was saying, these mobs were stacked we had no problems with the other trash and what not just this set. The mobs were stacked with 4 other random npcs.

Normal mode is such a joke it's as well to just call it obsolete content and forget it even exists.

The hard mode seems to be okay. Phase 2 is the worst overall because the ambient damage is not insignificant and the burst damage from Combustion dispels can be quite high. It's also important to control the void zone drops so people aren't forced to walk through them when the cutters start up. Phase 3 is just a simplified version of Kalecgos, so no real surprises there.

It's not as difficult as heroic Lich King like some people are claiming. It's not even half as complex as LK, and is roughly one third the length. I'm sure a lot of guilds are going to have it down this week.

My thoughts are that my realm is still offline.

[Ryme]

Looks like extremely lazy filler content.

[webdonkey]

normal mode... KEK

hard mode... KEK

lets face it... its one mean dragon with icc abilities implemented...

way to go blizz, must have been hard to make... like a revamp of naxx

wow should be free cause of major fuckups like this, maybe then we wont care

Looks like extremely lazy filler content.

Wanna bet you can't make it?

[Zarleck]

I haven't tried it yet, but I have a feeling that if I go try it out, we'll wipe because there's fire all over the place and not standing in fire is hard. :<

[Mongoose19]

Toc was merely a setback

[Szethius]

I agree with Shadow, they should just give us Cata instead of this filler content.

[Ryme]

Wanna bet you can't make it?

Wanna bet that that's the worst argument you can make... I mean, my god you must be stupid. Is that a criterion of being able to criticise something then? That you have to do better? Jesus, get a clue...

[Powerogue]

frustratingly hard, but people are going to have to man up, your puny ICC 25 man gear is will not save you from the wrath of cataclysm's level 81 dungeons!!! *loud thunder clash*

the only thing i hate about it is it's too similar in shape and concept to sartharion's obsidian sanctum. would it kill them to make different shaped dungeons with varying amounts of bosses for these? I will not stand by if they try and make the Azure Sanctum or whatever the blues ends up being called have 3 miniboss dragons and one really big dragon.

[redwitchy]

You need to tank the commander away from the others mate^^ We also wiped on this pack, but only once. Figured theres some sort a buff he gives the others if he's too close to them.

[Phaethon]

er...

The best way to deal with this trash is to just Hibernate pull the commander, and then move the other mobs away from him - burn down the casters, then the melees, while refreshing hybernate, and when the other adds die, kill the commander.

Easy!

[ardoRic]

CC. Go check out what it means from previous expansions' dungeon guides and use it. Commanders are prime candidates.

Also, if some mob, say Invokers, does an aoe move with a knockback which has a long interruptable cast time: try to interrupt it. May be worth the global.

[Herecius]

Entertaining filler content and quite challenging on heroic, enough that the raid certainly needs to be awake.

As for the OP, go home, troll. The fact that you wiped to 10-man trash doesn't make the instance bad, it makes your raid bad.
