In other words DON'T swim back to the front etc. If you get one in the last few seconds of the phased part and in the first few seconds of the next phasing you won't lose your stack.<br /><br />As for not taking the portals - the buff is a massive regen and healing buff. Keep some healers outside but send your pallies in. With 17 stacks of the buff I was criting holy lights well over 45kSilkhttp://silkwow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-23447898657860443362010-02-03T11:06:20.231-08:002010-02-03T11:06:20.231-08:00It's not even that at all.

We killed it last night with healers taking 3 portals total spaced out over the entire fight evenly. There is no need to try to keep up the stacks at all, when you have that many healers trying to take over every portal teh raid will get overrun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-53350411427370312762010-02-03T05:47:56.761-08:002010-02-03T05:47:56.761-08:00Shadow Weaving is a self buff in WotLK... my fault...Shadow Weaving is a self buff in WotLK... my fault. :-(Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-64175444967613901742010-02-03T05:36:29.881-08:002010-02-03T05:36:29.881-08:00You're the only DD who keeps the "buff&qu...You're the only DD who keeps the "buff" on yourself and can transfer it to another mob if adds spawn or one gets invulnerable. Don't whine about one of the best mechanics. :-)<br /><br />Just imagine your buff would be built up on the mob. Like shadow weaving for priests or shadow embrace/Immolate for locks or combat points for rogue/cats or stormstrike for shamans or the DK things. And probably more.<br /><br />You're about the only class who can transfer the buff from one to another mob without ramp-up time. :-)Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-38683438727005506892010-02-03T05:20:19.659-08:002010-02-03T05:20:19.659-08:00Welcome to the world of the Arcane Mage. Arcane Ma...Welcome to the world of the Arcane Mage. Arcane Mages cast Arcane Blast partially to do damage, but mostly in order to build up 4 stacks of a short-lived buff that increases damage from other arcane spells (usually we choose Arcane Missiles). If you fail to use the buff in time (say because you are getting out of the fire, or your target dies halfway through casting and you have to retarget), you lose not one stack, but all of it. This is just a part of WoW life, and we deal with it. We sure as hell don't go crying on our blogs about it!Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-90004051722778448052010-02-03T05:02:33.643-08:002010-02-03T05:02:33.643-08:00I'm not sure I agree.

The specific encounter may be overtuned, but I don't see a systemic problem.<br /><br />Kring has a damn good point tho :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06656717702605575713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-70080011082639058422010-02-03T03:33:41.177-08:002010-02-03T03:33:41.177-08:00It's funny that skill, once more, is linked to...It's funny that skill, once more, is linked to low network latency.Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.com
