The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Kill Halion, take his stuff

Jul 9th 2010

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is about warriors, who hurl themselves into the fray, the very teeth of danger armed with nothing more than the biggest weapons and armored with the absolutely heaviest armor we can find. Hey, we're not stupid, we're just crazy.

Never fear, we'll be doing more leveling posts and more report cards in the future. (I've been messing around with arms again lately on my night elf warrior -- having some fun with it, too.) But this week, we'll be talking about the Ruby Sanctum instance. The storyline of the Ruby Sanctum links Wrath of the Lich King's storylines with those of the upcoming Cataclysm, but the encounter mechanics and loot are still pretty solidly Wrath.

First we'll talk about the minibosses and Halion himself from both a DPS and a tanking perspective. Since much of that work has already been http://www.mmogah.com/2010/06/03/wow-coms-guide-to-halion/">done by Michael Gray, we'll then go on to talk about loot. Then I'm gonna go eat something. I'd invite you, but by the time you read this I will have already eaten. The bane of the internet: I can't share my jalapeno-flavored chips with you. (Nor, to be honest, would I. They're mine. MINE!)

The first thing to talk about in Ruby Sanctum are the trash pulls. As a DPSer, you really just need to know what the kill order is and to stick to it, but I also suggest to be aware. Remember Ulduar on the way to General Vezax? Yeah, it's like that. There most likely will be CC, and it's a bad idea to Whirlwind/Bladestorm in the middle of it. So pay attention and use your abilities responsibly. As a tank, you should likewise watch your AoE threat moves and make sure only to break CC when you need to. Make sure to use Charge to get right back on the http://www.wowhead.com/npc=40417">Charscale Invoker when it punts you, and in general, use your stuns and silences to keep the http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39814">casters locked down as much as possible when tanking them. If you're tanking the http://www.wowhead.com/npc=40423">Charscale Commanders, pull them out; don't let them use http://www.wowhead.com/npc=40423">Rallying Shout. There's no reason to let a five-or-so-mob trash pull get a 25% DPS increase.

Once you get done with the trash, it's on to the mini-bosses.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39751">Baltharus the Warborn

For DPS, the main concerns are http://www.wowhead.com/spell=75125">Blade Tempest, http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74502">Enervating Brand, http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74509">Repelling Wave and his clone ability. He also does a cleave, but that's fairly simple stuff; you shouldn't be standing next to the tank, anyway. Blade Tempest is a frontal cone, so again, try not to be in front of Baltharus and you should be OK. If you get Enervating Brand, move away from the raid so you don't end up feeding Baltharus enough power to one-shot your tank when your brand ticks in two seconds and leeches half the raid in one go. As DPS, there's not really much you can do about Repelling Wave; it's an instant-cast, so you can't really avoid it, just wait to come out of the stun and hope you didn't get punted into another pack. (I tend to like to clear around Baltharus as much as possible for that reason.) When Baltharus is about to clone himself, make sure you confine your DPS to single target until the clone is picked up. You want to keep your DPS on the original Baltharus, so just let the off tanks pull the clones away; don't concern yourself with them.

For a tank, it depends what you're tanking. If you're going to be tanking the clones, you should probably just hang out and wait for them. It's a bad idea to be stunned by Repelling Wave when the clone spawns. Pick them up as quickly as possible and move them away from the raid while staying in healing range; they still hit pretty hard.

If you're tanking Baltharus himself, remember to use trinkets or small cooldowns like the T10 set bonus for Blade Tempest. There's nothing you can do about Enervating Brand; just hope your raid deals with the debuff so as not to boost him so high he one-shots you. If for whatever reason he doesn't come back to you after Repelling Wave, charge him. It's a pretty straightforward tank and spank.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39747">Saviana Ragefire

Your typical drake. She has two phases: a ground phase in which she's tanked like any other dragon and an air phase in which she can't be tanked at all, flying over a lake in the sanctum and casting http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74452">Conflagration on members of the raid. If you are DPS on this fight, don't stand in her flame breath, and if you get Conflagration, run away from the raid before you spread it to others. It helps if your raid groups up so those who get the Conflagration can run away -- as long as you actually do run away. Do not stand there and chain Conflagration onto your entire raid.

As a tank, turn her away from the raid so they don't eat flame breath, and pick her up when she lands. Easy, peasy.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39746">General Zarithrian

The only real complication here for DPS are the fears he does recurrently (and since you're a warrior, you'll be breaking those with zerker rage) and the adds he spawns (and since you're DPS, you'll be ignoring those until/unless your raid leader calls for you to DPS them; my raid has ranged burn them and switched back to the boss, but every raid is different).

For a tank, the major issue here is Zarithrian's http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74367">Cleave Armor ability. It removes armor by 20% with every application and stacks up to five, so most strategies I've seen call for a tank to swap it off at three stacks. Depending on how many tanks you have, you may have the other tank/tanks picking up http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39814">Onyx Flamecallers as he spawns them. (We run with three tanks in our 25-man, so we usually have a tank free for this.) Just keep breaking his fears, taunt switching at three stacks of his debuff and picking up adds if/when called for. He goes down easy.

Now we're up to the big boss man, Barney the Purple Dragon himself.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39863">Halion

I refer you again to http://www.mmogah.com/2010/06/03/wow-coms-guide-to-halion/">Michael Gray's excellent guide to Halion.

As a DPS warrior, you have no way to run faster or cleanse yourself when you get Fiery Combustion. So the second you get it, run run run away from everyone else, so that when you are cleansed you don't kill anyone and the fire you drop on the ground doesn't swallow up half of the available area. When the meteors are dropped, don't stand in the fire. Simple, and yet it still needs to be said.

Inside the portal, treat Soul Combustion exactly as you did Fiery Combustion. Get away. Do not stand next to someone. When you are cleansed, you will yank any unfortunates close to you right to your location, just like XT-002 hard mode. Don't do that to people. Also, instead of the Meteor Strikes, the Shadow Pulsar orbs are going to shoot Twilight Cutter beams between them as they orbit the portal zone. Don't be between those orbs or hit by that Cutter beam, or you will die.

At phase three (50%), you'll either stay in or port out, depending on what your raid does. My raid keeps the melee in and sends the ranged out. No, Heroic Throw doesn't make you ranged. Whatever the raid call is, just keep doing whatever you're supposed to do in whichever zone you're in, while also listening for calls on Corporeality. You may have to stop DPS to let the other side catch up. Please don't ignore these calls. The more imbalanced Halion's Corporeality is, the more likely he is to absolutely ravage one of the tanks in the completely not fun way. This is not the cover of a romance novel with Halion ripping off a blouse and yelling, "Take me now!" This is Halion ripping off your tank's face and your tank yelling, "My nostrils, my precious nostrils, you've torn them off!"

Your tank needs his or her nostrils to appreciate life and its many savours; please don't help Halion rip them off.

As a tank, you'll most likely want to keep Halion up against the side of the ring of fire in the physical realm to give your raid the maximum chance to move for Fiery Combustion. In the Twilight Realm, you'll probably need to be more central in order to be able to be aware of and avoid Shadow Pulsar. If Corporeality gets really bad, blow your cooldowns to stay alive and give your raid more time to get it balanced. Some raids choose to have everyone go into the portal; my raid has a tank and a healer stay out to pick Halion up for phase 3.

Now, let's talk about loot.

Loot

10-man Halion drops the http://www.wowhead.com/item=53112">Bracers of the Heir, http://www.wowhead.com/item=53111">Scion's Treads and http://www.wowhead.com/item=53110">Zarithrian's Offering. They're all well itemized (heroic versions even more so) and will serve you well if you get them. I really like that ring.

25-man Halion drops the http://www.wowhead.com/item=53125">Apocalypse's Advance, http://www.wowhead.com/item=53132">Penumbra Pendant, http://www.wowhead.com/item=54571">Petrified Twilight Scale, http://www.wowhead.com/item=54569">Sharpened Twilight Scale and http://www.wowhead.com/item=53129">Treads of Impending Resurrection. Both the Treads (with two blue sockets and loads of defense, dodge and parry) and the Petrified Twilight Scale are really nice tanking pieces. The armor on the PTS alone makes it a really solid drop, and while we can argue the relative merit of the proc, it doesn't take away from the solid mitigation this will provide to add some streaky avoidance. The Sharpened Twilight Scale is effectively the last ArP trinket you're ever going to see. And it's a beautiful one. If you don't have DBW, it's absolutely glorious; even if you do have that trinket, you might want to pick this one up too and free up some itemization on gear.

The Penumbra Pendant is almost made for warriors with strength, crit and ArP. Yellow socket's kind of odd, but you can work around it. The Apocalypse's Advance are certainly solid boots, especially if you end up ArP capped from trinkets and rings and such and need to drop some from somewhere else. All the heroic gear is better, of course, but the same arguments apply.

In general, Ruby Sanctum gear seems aimed at providing alternatives to items that often just won't drop or aren't as well itemized. Until Cataclysm drops, ArP is still one of our best DPS stats, and Ruby Sanctum has it in spades.

Next week, well, with the bombshells dropping like they have been lately, it's tough to say.

Ruby Sanctum is open [Updated]

on Jun 29th 2010

Although http://www.mmogah.com/2010/06/26/early-maintenance-announcement-includes-24-hour-downtime-for-sel/">several realms are still under extended maintenance in preparation for http://www.mmogah.com/cataclysm">Cataclysm, http://www.mmogah.com/tags/patch-3.3.5">Patch 3.3.5's http://www.mmogah.com/tags/ruby-sanctum/" sizcache="6" sizset="8">Ruby Sanctum is currently open for business. Players can enter the instance at this time and kill the trash and minibosses, and Halion is able to be engaged. We've not yet received word on whether or not he's killable, or whether anyone has killed him. It's likely that this was unintentional.

We'll keep you posted, though. Now would probably be a good time to brush up on the dungeon's final boss with http://www.mmogah.com/2010/06/03/wow-coms-guide-to-halion/">mmogah.com's Guide to Halion!

Update 6:29 p.m. EDT: The opening of Ruby Sanctum might be a bug, but nonetheless, it's up and running. We have staff who are running it both on normal and heroic mode on the live servers. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25626184626&pageNo=1&sid=1">Blizzard is http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25626574492&pageNo=1&sid=1">being coy about it, so who knows ... either way, the boss is up and can be engaged right now.

Update 6:39 p.m. EDT: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25626575023&pageNo=1&sid=1#0">Nethaera confirms that this isn't a bug: Ruby Sanctum is open, despite several battlegroups being down for another day.

Gold Capped: Using the new armory auction house

by Basil Berntsen http://www.mmogah.com/bloggers/basil-berntsen/rss.xml"> May 26th 2010

Want to get http://www.mmogah.com/category/gold-capped/">Gold Capped? Every week, Basil Berntsen takes a short break from trying to http://bucketlist.guildlaunch.com/recruiting/application.php?gid=152790">build a raiding guild on US Drenden-A to write up a guide that will help you achieve the goal of acquiring 214,748 gold, 36 silver and 48 copper. Well, technically that's just a symbolic milestone. The goal is making gold, no matter how much you have or how much you want. Got feedback, questions or hate mail? mailto:basil@mmogah.com">Email Basil!

This game is constantly changing. Every new patch, Blizzard delivers new content, new rules and new interfaces. We've seen some major quality of life improvements in the auction house of late, and these are continuing. The latest one (which is still in beta) is that the mobile armory now lets you trade on the AH from anywhere using either an app on an iPhone/iPod touch or your browser.

Right now, for testing purposes, we're limited to 25 actions a day (purchases, bids, auctions), but we can clear out our mail! To be honest, that's the killer feature for me. I spend an inordinate amount of time clearing out my mail. The majority of my profits in, say, http://www.mmogah.com/2010/04/12/insider-trader-inscription-without-grinding-glyphs/">vellums will come from sales of singles. I list stacks of all sizes, but the singles are what sell best. On my mid-range population server, I can easily sell 200 of these a day, and that adds up to a lot of time watching my mailbox empty.

Once the feature goes live and they raise the limit to 200 actions per day, I'll probably use this to list my vellums too. In the interest of using my 25 moves in the most profitable manner, however, I'm going to avoid that for the beta.

Before we go any further: this product is currently in beta. Any money you lose due to bugs is probably gone forever. I posted a load of stacks of 10 http://www.wowhead.com/item=34055">Greater Cosmics, and they all ended up getting listed with a stack price of what I intended the unit price to be. This is a buggy beta test, so be very careful and validate your auctions by searching for them after you post.

I'm assuming that most people interested in this probably want to auction from work, and I personally detest any small devices trying to be real computers. If they ever make this available on the iPad and then give me an iPad for free, I'll consider using the app version. Otherwise, I'm all about the real computer version. On that note, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/feb/05/comment.media">Macs aren't real computers.

When you log into the armory's auction house interface, you see this:

The default character was set to my hunter; however, I clicked the top right icon and was able to promote my auction alts into the five available slots for auction house characters. Use the plus sign to the left in the list of characters they show you. First up, I want to empty my mail. This is how you collect your sales:

Clicking "Claim All Gold" is the fastest. Now let's try creating some auctions: click the "create auctions" tab, and then pick your product. You'll see this:

Awesomely, this has more functionality than the in-game selling tab. It will actually show you your competition's prices and let you undercut! Also, it lets you post from your expired auctions in mail, your bank and your inventory as a single source. This is, in fact, way better than the in-game version. I can only hope that they make these features available via the in-game interface.

When I create 10 auctions, this is what it looks like:

You can relist expired auctions as well, but I don't have any at the moment, so we're skipping to the buying interface. Click on "Browse Auctions," and you can search the AH for stuff you need.

Being an auctioneer is like being able to print money (or gold, as it were). Wait, that doesn't make sense … You can print on gold, but you can't print gold. That would be closer to transmutation? I can transmute titanium, but that's only worth it if the price of saronite is low enough to justify the time spent making it. I need some sort of analogy here. … Whatever, I'll figure it out later. Making gold? Every week, http://www.mmogah.com/category/gold-capped/">Gold Capped will teach you the tricks of the trade, from setting up your auction http://www.mmogah.com/2010/02/27/gold-capped-auction-house-addon-list/">addons and user interface, to http://www.mmogah.com/2010/04/07/gold-capped-cross-faction-arbitrage/">cross-faction arbitrage, to learning how to use your trade skills.

Blizzard to break the AVR mod in

by Fox Van Allen http://www.mmogah.com/bloggers/fox-van-allen/rss.xml"> May 20th 2010

Suffer, mortals, as your pathetic mod betrays you! Come patch 3.3.5, Blizzard is disabling the functionality of the ultra-useful http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/avr.aspx">Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) addon. The popular mod allows three-dimensional images to be shared between party members in real time to aid in raid strategy and positioning. It is perhaps best known for making the http://www.wowhead.com/npc=36853">Sindragosa encounter a snap during the ice blocking phase (and, of course, for sharing crudely drawn pictures of genitalia).

Blizzard poster Bashiok http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?sid=1&topicId=25002150557&pageNo=1#0">broke the news of AVR's impending demise, citing its invasive nature and the fact that it takes away from the need for on-the-spot decision making:

Bashiok -- AVR Mod Broken in 3.3.5

This is a notice that we're making changes in 3.3.5 in attempts to break the ability for the AVR (Augmented Virtual Reality) mod to continue functioning. For those unaware, this mod allows players to draw in the 3D space of the game world, which can then be shared with others who are also using the mod. In some cases this manifests itself through drawing/tagging/defacing the game world, but more popularly is used to give visual guides for dungeon and raid encounters.

The full announcement after the break.

Bashiok -- AVR Mod Broken in 3.3.5

This is a notice that we're making changes in 3.3.5 in attempts to break the ability for the AVR (Augmented Virtual Reality) mod to continue functioning. For those unaware, this mod allows players to draw in the 3D space of the game world, which can then be shared with others who are also using the mod. In some cases this manifests itself through drawing/tagging/defacing the game world, but more popularly is used to give visual guides for dungeon and raid encounters.

We're making this change for two reasons. The invasive nature of a mod altering and/or interacting with the game world (virtually or directly) is not intended and not something we will allow. World of Warcraft UI addons are never intended to interact with the game world itself. This is mirrored in our stance and restriction of model and texture alterations. The second reason is that it removes too much player reaction and decision-making while facing dungeon and raid encounters. While some other mods also work to this end, we find that AVR and the act of visualizing strategy within the game world simply goes beyond what we're willing to allow.

The change we're making in attempts to break the functionality is light in its touch and approach. When blocking any functionality we run the risk of affecting other mods, but we've targeted the changes as carefully as possible. If we find that the AVR mod (or any mod attempting to replicate its functions) are usable after 3.3.5 we will take further, more drastic steps.

Reaction to the news will surely be mixed -- there are plenty of purists who feel that AVR's very existence goes against what Warcraft is supposed to be about, and there are plenty of people who find AVR an invaluable tool that does little more than enhance their playing experience.

What's your reaction to the news? Did Blizzard go too far, or were they right in stamping out a blight on the World of Warcraft?
