PTR Hellfire Cidadel - Heroic Kormrok & Shadow-Lord Iskar

Heroic Kormrok

  Overview: Kormrok periodically jumps to the nearest pool of energy, with each pool empowering one of his abilities for a short duration.

Heroic Shadow-Lord Iskar

  Overview: Shadow-Lord Iskar alternates between a down phase with an up phase. Through out the fight players will have to manage Eye of Anzu buff to interact with various encounter mechanics.

Note for the Shadow-Lord Iskar encounter, it will be essential for players to be able to interact with other players with the use of the Extra Action Button. For example, the following macro was very useful.

SoO - Heroic 10 - Paragon of the Klaxxi

<Memoirs> - Heroic 10 - Paragons of Klaxxi

I have really been looking forward to everyday of progression on this fight and from the video, bear + scorpion is pewpew fun. Essentially what make this extremely powerful is the scorpions abilities are based off ap (vengeance) plus the combo with Nature's Vigil buff to damage and the healing from damage. 

Enjoy, I did!

SoO - Heroic 10 - Thok the Bloodthirsty

Big dinos are not match for Memoirs and fat bears.

Heroic Immerseus & Fallen Protectors

We managed to squeeze in an early raiding day this week now that heroics are available. Had a couple sub 5% wipes on Norushen with our most geared dps away : ( Either way, here are the first two boss kill videos!

5.4 PTR - Heroic Iron Juggernaut

Heroic Lei Shen - Prot Pally PoV?!

Thought I would share our Lei Shen kill on 10 heroic, again from the Prot Pally PoV.

Hope you enjoy.

Heroic Dark Animus - Prot Pally PoV?!

What is this world coming to when a bear has to make a decent living riding a glowy warhorse to make ends meet!

Just an update, I haven't been posting much for two reasons. 1. I recently switched to a prot pally due to ours leaving wow and 2. we've been recruiting and not progressing as much. We have recently been apping a monk (another reason for switch from the leather wearing bear) and we're getting back on track.

Thought I'd share our Dark Animus kill even though it's from a yucking prot pally pov.

Heroic Jin-rokh the Breaker

Here's our kill video of Heroic Jin-rokh the Breaker from my point of view, enjoy.

Guardian PoV - Heroic Sha of Fear 10 Man

Memoirs' the Fearless

Great end to the tiers with our Sha of Fear kill. Congrats to everyone on cleaning up the tier before Throne of Thunder. Look forward to our on going success.

Heroic Protectors of the Endless - Kitty PoV

Memoirs - Heroic Will of the Emperor 10 Man

Memoirs - Heroic Spirit Kings 10 Man

Bear Weapon Enchants

Just a quick post on weapon enchants now that we have access to Living Steel. Windsong is still our better enchant.

Dancing Steel - Permanently enchants a melee weapon to sometimes increase your Strength or Agility by 1,650 when dealing melee damage.  Your highest stat is always chosen. (12 second buff)

Windsong - Permanently enchants a melee weapon to sometimes increase your critical strike, haste, or mastery by 1500 for 12 sec when dealing damage or healing with spells and melee attacks.  Requires a level 372 or higher item.








At first glace, to the average druid who HASN'T been reading along, (jk) Dancing Steel looks to be the better choice.



Windsong (2RPPM)
Uptime 40%
Ave Stat Weight 0.0243    (Crit+Haste+Mastery)/3
Enchant Weight 14.56


Dancing Steel (1PPM)
        Agi         1650             %Uptime        >14.56

This works out that Dancing Steel needs to have a 30.23% up time.

Time to start watching logs, I will update you guys as I see more actual uptimes from mine and other bear logs.

Note: Basic math:

 Enchant Weight = stat weight * amount * % Uptime

Heroic Stone Guard

I've been trying to keep on various forums to see how the bear community is doing and there has been tons of questions and discussions on heroic Stone Guard. Just thought I'd blog our kill video and just give a few tips that really helped us.

- Four healing ten man made this incredibly easy to manage the damage. With the tile buffs there is just so much throughput due to so much mana and damage has no problem beating the enrage with one less dps

- This is a clear case where FR shines (SD vr FR Post)

Heroic Feng 10

I thought this was rather amusing, me knowing we were going to get a kill and me screwing up. Enjoy!
