Sinestra wrack

[Deleted]

Hi

We have just started this fight and wanted to know few things about this ability can it be stopped with a pally shield(bubble) and does this obey the same system that if a hunter times his deterrence at the right time this can stop it too.

Also can it be controlled as the tool tip says nearby players can you then limit who will get it by moving players to a certain range

Cheers

Bubble will do the same as a dispel.

I do believe u can ams it so if the 1st wrack was to hit a dk and he had ams up it would be ignored, but I cannot confirm that, but it's gonna very random.

It can't be controlled, it will however try to avoid tanks though since they "fixed" it in 4.1.

Guardian Spirit can make it stop spreading cause it kills the players but guardian spirit essentially revives it, so that can Easily help your raid out if you have a Holy Priest

cheers for the fast reply

what if the pally has shield up a sec or 2 before the dispel would that force it to some one else or also count as dispel

Personally I don't see why you just don't dispell it the way it's meant to be dispelled, anything involving instant godlike reactions to putting AMS or w/e up is hardly going to be a reliable method for progressing on the fight.

Just get a healer or 2 to get Grid setup properly and take it from there. Once Grid is setup it really makes wrack trivial, you just need a backup dispeller incase the main dispeller gets an orb at a bad time. Both the shammy and the Pally could remove Magic, so there really is no reason to, imo, waste time and effort trying to bypass the wrack mechanic when you could just learn to "play" it.

I think that is false. It will spread.

Only time it 'dissapears' is if someone dies during travel time - at least it seems so from ocassional "dispeled the first one, but there's still only 1... oh, and whelps killed X".

Depends if you are doing 10 or 25. Its much easier to deal with on 25.

But I don't think you can reliably "get around it". Things like Iceblock/Bubble act as a dispel. We did have 1 pull last night where we didn't get a wrack in P1 - it could have been that it was supposed to cast on the DK and he had AMS up or it could have been cast on one of the 2 mages because right around then is when we use Invis. Or it could have just been a bug but if not I don't know why it wasn't cast nor how to reliably reproduce it except maybe tell your DK, if you have one, to AMS when its supposed to be cast. However, AMS is a nice CD for breaths, or breath+wrack, so I doubt its worth trying to cheese a wrack with it. Basically you just have to learn how to deal with it.
