Ulduar Raid Debuffs and notable abilities



Ignis the Furnace Master

Debuffs:

Slag Pot: Direct heal through DoT until they’re released
Flame Jets: Interupts casting and silences for 8 seconds
Scorch: DoT, players should be moving out of this but watch to heal effected players.

Menu



Razorscale

Debuffs:

Phase 1

Stormstrike: Dark Rune Guardians will debuff the tank with this, increases Nature damage taken by 20%, needs to be dispelled.

Devouring Flame: Someone's standing in the fire, heal till they move or figure it out.

Phase 2

Fused Armor: Slowing effect on tank, stacking upto 5 when the tank will be unable to move or use abilities, get ready for tank swap.

Menu




XT-002 Deconstructor

Debuffs:

Gravity Bomb : 20 yd range, effected player should move to a distance greater than 20 yards until they ‘implode’. Shield+PoM is enough to cover with this.

Light Bomb (Searing Light) : Obvious bright glow on player, 3500 AoE on effected player, Shield+Renew+PoM more than enough for this, unless they’re AoEing nearby players, most of the time range (and even melee) won’t need to move as it has a short range 10-15yds

Abilities:

Tympanic Tantrum : Raidwide damage over 8 seconds, Prayer of Healing very useful here. Will no longer kill players unless they start with less than 80% health.

*Void Zone: Hard mode, spawned from Gravity Bombs, standard void zone mechanic.

Menu



The Assembly of Iron


Abilities:
High Voltage : From Steelbreaker, DoT aura on raid.

Debuffs:

Fusion Punch: Absolutely positively must be dispelled off tank as soon as it’s cast. Will wipe the raid if not. Big DoT and big damage to tank.

1 dead

Static Disruption: (Steelbreaker up) Cannot be dispelled but effected players will require additional healing over the raid heals. Up to three players may be allocated to 'soak' these.

Rune of Death: (Runemaster Molegeim up) 26 yd green Void zone under a random player. Move.

2 dead

Meltdown: (Steelbreaker up) Tank has 30seconds to live before exploding, be ready for tank change. (nb Tank will get this after 30 seconds of Overwhelming Power).

Nothing notable when Stormcaller Brundir is up, except for Overload so stand more than 20yds from tank and it won’t matter (distance has been reported to have been nerfed).

Menu





Kologarn

Abilities:

Shockwave : Left arm ability not a debuff but AoE’s the raid, requiring PoH/Good time to Divine Hymn

Debuffs:

Crunch Armor : Armour debuff on MT be ready for tank swap after 3 stacks, MT will gradually require more healing as it stacks.


Stone Grip: Right arm ability 3 targets requiring direct healing

Menu





Auriaya

Abilities:

Sonic Screech : not a debuff but causes raidwide damage

Terrifying Screech : not a debuff but fears the raid, use Fearward and Mass Dispel the raid if possible. Try arrange for Tremor totem in your group as it helps a lot particularly with Disciplines fast Mass Dispels.

Debuff:


Savage Pounce : Damage and DoT

Menu





Mimiron


Not many specific debuffs to note but plenty of abilities to heal through.

Leviathan MKII

Napalm Shell : Debuff that requires direct healing.

Plasma Blast : Ability that requires a CD on the tank, Pain Suppression or Guardian Spirit after Tank’s used his cooldowns.

VX-001 (Anti-personnel Assault Cannon)

Abilities:

Rocket Strike: Not a debuff but requires move or be killed

Spinning Up : Similar to Lurkers Spout, get ready to move around clockwise or be killed (only covers 3/4 radius). Watch for mines!

Rapid Burst : Targets a group/party (hopefully the raids split into parties around the room) Prayer of Healing on the effected group is useful here

Aerial Command Unit (Air phase)

Plasma Ball : Usually range tank, warlock etc. Dedicate one healer and the rest is dps.

Watch out for Bomb Bots which walk around aimlessly and explode.

V-07-TR-0N (Phase 4)

Rocket Strike : Two targets must now move when targeted for this

P3Wx2 Laser Barrage : Heal targeted party, Prayer of Healing useful here.

Plasma Ball : Heal range tank.

Menu




Freya


Debuffs:

Sunbeam : If raider doesn’t move out of the raid with this they’ll AoE nearby players for 8k.

Nature's Fury : (Ancient Conservator) AoE on random player for 10sec, should be moving away from raid.

Abilities:

Conservator's Grip : (Ancient Conservator) Player is silenced until they move under a Healthy Mushroom.

Elder Stonebark (Increased physical damage done by Freya)

Ground Tremor : Ability similar to flame jets on Ignis, 8 second spell interrupt if you’re casting when this ability occurs.

Elder Ironbranch (Increased pysical damage done by Allies of Nature)

Iron Roots : DoT on target until Dps removes the roots.

Impale : Damage over 5seconds that require target to be healed through.

Elder Brightleaf (Increased magical dmage done my Freya and Allies of Nature)

Nothing additional worth noting.

Menu





Thorim

Debuffs:

Unbalancing Strike : Tanks should taunt of each other when one gets this, be ready to heal/shield taunting tank.

*Watch to Massdispell Runic Shield on the Dark Rune Evokers (initial trash) and when players get Frost Nova from in Phase2 (Sif-hardmode).

Menu




Hodir

Debuffs:

Freeze : Keep Mass Dispel handy or expect complaints from the melee department.

Abilities:

Frozen Blows : Raidwide damage that requires AoE healing. This is the one to be ready for as rest of the encounter is relatively easy just healing the MT unless raid members 'lag'.

Notable Buffs:

Mage - Toasty Fire Stand near this if you see one to avoid the Biting Cold, Flash Freeze and Freeze debuff. Looks like a big campfire. Fires can also buff Melt Ice and Singed.

Druid - Starlight Stand in light column for haste buff

Shaman - Storm Cloud Stand near player with lighting bolts for Crit Buff.

Menu





General Vezax

Abilities:

Aura of Despair: Means no mana regen, aggressive healing will run you oom. Stopcasting is essential to minimise overhealing. I'm usually with a Paladin on the MT, he will heal while I Shield and will only Penance/Flash when the tanks 40% or less. For hard mode 10 this works well, providing the range can dodge Shadow Crashes. If not doing hard mode Saronite Crystals (increasing Life Tap mechanic) are the only way to regain mana, 7 stacks hit for almost 13k but returns 6.4k mana, watch health while trying to regen as the 8th tick will most likely kill you unless you’re shielded and full.

Shadow Crash : Pray the targeted player can run from this missile, if not, heal all players near the impact. Priority isn't high as this is the only raid damage to worry about (besides Saronite Vapour ticks). This will only be cast on range (15yds plus) and the dps will stand in the dark patch left for a dps buff. This reduces healing done so is of no use to healers. It does reduce mana costs by 75% so can be useful in hardmode to certain classes, Druids Lifebloom for instance.

Mark of the Faceless : Drain Life mechanic if target is near other players. Only cast on range (15yds plus). Run from the raid when you get this or General Vezax will heal for a significant amount per tick, the drain life graphics from nearby players if too close is very obvious.

Menu





Yogg-Saron

Dispelling is paramount here and as high a priority as healing the tank, for all classes.

Debuffs:

Sara’s Blessing : Initially heals but leaves a DoT which requires additional healing through over 20 seconds.

Squeeze : Debuff when Constrictor Tentacle has grabbed someone, they’ll require healing until dps has killed the tentacle. If you get grabbed, you can still heal/cast. Let DPS know you need to be broken out. We usually ping map/vent.

Malady of the Mind : Similar to the Warlock Deathcoil ability, lasts 4 seconds and then attempts to jump to someone within 10yds. Stay clear of players with this debuff.

Brain Link : Bright line connecting two players who must remain within 20yds of each other or receive a DoT and -2% per second. DPS should move with healers and try move with the tank if you’re linked to one.

Dispelling

Magic

Dominate Mind : MC, dispel nomatter what you’re doing. Only time to delay is if they’re in a cloud, wait until they are clear.

Apathy : Slowing debuff, dispel off tanks/melee then range as priority. Particularly the portal group when it’s nearly time for ports.

Disease

Black Plague : Also high priority on any player, randomly stuns (retch uncontrollably for 2 seconds).

Poison

Draining Poison : Mana drain and DoT, cleansing totems, Druids/Pallies/Resto Shaman should be on top of this.

Curses

Curse of Doom : Same as Warlock curse, 20k dmg after 12 seconds. Mages/Druids/Resto Shaman should remove before duration is up.

Abilities:

Sanity : Start with a 100 stack of this debuff, various abilities will remove sanity, when it reaches zero you will go insane and are effectively MC’d. Brez does not work (we tried and they rezed as the enemy).

Sanity Well : Green columns in the ‘corners’ of the room provided by Freya, the only way to restore Sanity.

Algalon

10 man down, coming soon!

Adding custom Auras to Grid

Adding custom Auras to Grid

Add the debuff:
Grid -> Status -> Auras -> Add new Debuff


Type in (de)buff exactly, case matters.


New debuff will be listed under Status -> Auras

Give it a High priority (99 is foolproof) as you want it to show over anything else.



Do this for each custom debuff.

Now tell Grid to show the new debuffs as the Center Icon
Grid -> Frame -> Center Icon -> Tick the ones you want, list order doesn't matter, this is where the priority you gave it comes in.



Optional
In Grid -> Frame -> Advanced you can customise the border/size of the Center Icon.

There's a Grid plugin called Grid Status Raid Debuffs which has all the Ulduar raid debuffs (even ones you don't want to see), you just add it to the Center Icon thing and un/tick whatever you want, either way works but don't use both.


It makes sense after you play around with it, you'll quickly know what debuffs to anticipate and what needs the most attention.

I posted all this because people were asking how to do it, hope it's useful.

3.1.3 Discipline raid healing gear (3.2.x coming soon)

Video - Teron Gorefiend (Offtime)

tbc

vimeoteron


Teron Gorefiend


This didn't take that long for us to learn and we all had to play a hunter for a moment, if they were chosen for Shadow of Death we were safe. Those that weren't familiar with pet-bars soon became obvious but we got there in the end. Practice is all it took.

First kill was fun and we also used the encounter to guage our dps numbers for when we started working on brutallus in sunwell as it was an 'all out' fight. One of my favourites for sure.

Video was fun to make and on this kill I wasn't chosen to die (probably a good thing), a few have asked me for the soundtrack and I have no idea what it was called, I made this a few reinstalls ago and no longer have the Sony Vegas work files to find out. Its in my mp3 collection.. Somewhere..

It was around this time I had a rl schedule change and could no longer raid with offtime. After a few weeks of no raiding I started to miss it, knowing the guild was progressing through Black Temple without me the only option I had at the time was transfer, as there were no aussie guilds on the server. Leaving my alt there I tried out a Singapore which was the same timezone as me at the time. Very different atmosphere than I was used to but I stuck it out. Theyd had T6 content all on farm for several months and it was a change of pace. First night I had to learn quite quickly every boss from Teron Gorefiend upwards as they plowed through the instance. Seemed too easy, there as no vent chatter and apart from the learning curve, got quite boring and I began to miss raiding with offtime. I did make some friends there and one I still chat with regularly on MSN today so it kept me raiding.

Using 'find' to search for specific files in Linux (basic)

This was more of a cheat card for myself but figured others might find it useful too.

Searching in Nautilus can be sketchy and while 'locate  ' works fine sometimes I need to be more specific when looking for a particular file to narrow down the search results.

The 'find' command is quite powerful, but tricky to commit to memory when you don't use it often.

find (starting_directory) (test) (options) (match_criteria) (actions_to_perform_on_results)

Find all "jpg" files starting at filesystem's root

find . -name "*.jpg"

nb. find / -name \*jpg does the same thing, escape the wildcard character * and saves typing quotes.

Find directories (-type d):

find . -type d

Find a specific directory

find . -type d -name \Pictures

Use -iname instead of -name to ignore case.

Search multiple directories:

find /usr /etc /var/www -iname \index.html

To filter out permission errors add 2>/dev/null to the end of the line.

Search for symbolic links -type l

There are many more advanced switches which I'll add later if needed, this is just to explain basic searching.

Hyjal Summit

tbc



Rage Winterchill


ssrage

Our first raid in Hyjal was definately a change of scenery, having lived in TK and SSC attuning members and longing to leave T5 content behind us I may have reconsidered.  Waves and waves of trash until a boss pull was even more of a headache initially than I'd read about.  We quickly learned to love our Prot paladin Lucianas which started to make this trivial once the dps coordinated themselves. As we geared up it got a lot easier. First boss was Rage winterchill which was a reflex check really. A bit of a change of pace from T5 as dps the only fail test was using our PvP trinkets before we got killed. I remember the guild being asked to pvp to raid, many didn't like it but the trinkets were worth it.  Think we got Rage down on the first raid, everyone was very excited.

Attempted on the next raid from memory, once the tanks did their thing and people moved when targeted it was pretty easy. I don't have any more footage of us in Mount Hyjal as it was around this time RL tore me away from raiding for a while. I kept in touch with the guild and looked forward to playing again, it wasn't until they were on Illidan I was able to return but it was good to see progression still going strong.
