Patch 4.2 Models - Overfiend
Let's continue poking at Patch 4.2 models with what seems to be a new trash mob, the overfiend! It comes in multiple recolors but the only one you will see for the moment is probably the fire version.









Raegwyn - 1 Death Knight vs. 2 Cataclysm Heroic Bosses
Raegwyn was looking for a new way to spend time and decided it would be fun to try to solo an heroic boss, it probably wasn't hard enough because he eventually decided to solo two of them at the same time.

Let's face it, the first news of the week would be sad without the MMO Report.

Nerfnow has an interesting point of view on tanks and healers ...

    Unholy Pres + Buffed from other classes = not impressive and in fact will be much harder in 4.1

    Awesome video, yes it is not a raid boss, but 2 heroic bosses at the same time (that a lot of pug teams wipe on).

    As said, before you start thinking "OP DK" or "faceroll bosses" keep in mind not any DK can do this... for Raegwyn to do this probably took a LOT of wipes and tries to get the correct positioning as well as the right procs and abilities to use at what time.

    Plus as mentioned his mechanic for soloing is about to get nerfed... so he'll have a much harder time, even if a regular blood DK in blood presence gets stronger.

    Am I the only one surprised he even GOT to Ozruk before even Killing Slabhide?
    Or did I miss something?

    Yeah, this guy is taking advantage of a situation with Glyph of Dark Succor that isn't going to exist anymore. DK tanks don't need to be nerfed because one awesome guy is taking advantage of something that is going away. Do people really not know all this, or are they too busy yelling NERF BLOOD DK NAO to know it?

    Isn't Slabhide skippable?

    The 5% is just a tooltip fix, like we've been saying for the last week now. As for the comic, I'm more on the Totalbiscuit point of view in that nobody wants to tank or heal because they don't want to put up with the masses of shit DPS that blame tanks and healers for their own mistakes WHILE doing said shit DPS.

    DK's soloing two level 85 heroic bosses and Blizzards answer is to buff them, I love the logic in that.

    Slabhide is pretty easy...i've tanked slabhide as an spriest.

    DK are the best to heal in decent gear in heroics tho. Last one I ran with on my resto shammy, he nearly equalled me for total healing done for the entire group/instance. I guarantee had it not been for the melt armor boss in BRC he probably would have beaten me. As it was - ES + Riptide overhealed the DK. Yet to see another tank type get even close to this level in current heroics.

    People saying its not impressive? Go do it yourself and post us a screenshot. Hell solo one of the 2 bosses and post a screenshot.

    That comic holds a hint of truth, but the odds of running into a group that has one or two hur-durr-4k-dps is FAR higher than running into a group that has a bad healer/tank. The problem is that the group can still finish the instance with those hurr-durr-4k-dps idiots, while a bad tank/healer will make things impossible.

    lol this was my first video since the glyph exists so wth how can the glyph be the reason for "so many solokills"???

    if it was a simple reskin, it would still have wings, horns, hooves, everything a doomguard has since "reskin" means a reskinned identical model, which this is clearly not.

    Hell most boss fights work better if the 2 of the DPS die, that way the healer can take care of himself the tank and the 1 dps who knows how to not die to shit on the ground.

    Both fight mechanics are based entirely around situational awareness - if you run out of the ground slam and shatter, you will take very little damage as a tank on Ozruk. As for slabhide, his melee damage isn't very impressive, it's the fire on the ground and the falling rocks that do damage. If you move out of the way of their prime abilities, you hardly take any damage whatsoever.

    I'm not saying it wasn't neat, but it's not exactly the most complicated thing in the world. I've tanked these several times where everybody except for me and a dps lived and we managed to get the fight finished. Pally and DK tanks have enough self healing that unless there is a "one shot" ability like ground slam (removed in 4.1 you can stand in it and live, how retarded) or a unstoppable bleed, the boss will just slowly die unless there is a hard enrage timer.
    you forget the paralyse if im not attacking ozruk for the dot theres a big chance to get paralysed before the shatter and just die because of anything
