Kill Videos

Post by Bagar- »

These are from our guild. PoV is our other holy paladin, Fewixtwo. They're pretty well done for WoW videos.

He should be making a few more in the forthcoming weeks; he has footage and just needs to edit it down.

They are sped up 2x to make the length watchable as both of the fights are somewhat long.

Here's the Lich King:

http://vimeo.com/11129034

It was our very first kill about two months ago. We did get sloppy at the end... if you're not familiar with the fight this won't make sense but we leave two raging spirits up from the 2nd transition (we no longer do this, and instead kill all but one of them) and save Heroism for p3, we spread out and use paladin cooldowns for the vile spirits. On the last spirit wave, two healers went down and thus the tank with the two raging spirits did as well, causing them to run around and kill people until our DK could pick them up. Otherwise it was a pretty damn smooth kill.

At the end of the video he has a clip of me over ventrilo pretty much summing up the three or so hours that we had worked on him.


And here is Heroic Lady Deathwhisper:

http://vimeo.com/11126873

Probably most of you have done this fight on normal. It's actually pretty challenging on heroic. You can't discern much about the mechanics with it being sped up, but the major differences from normal to heroic are: The adds come on a 40 second timer and have more health. Deathwhisper has about double the health in p2, although her health (mana) in p1 remains the same. The ghosts in p2 will one shot or if you're lucky take you down to sub 5% of your hitpoints, so they have to be avoided and in addition they AOE in a 20 yard radius when they do hit someone, so often several people will die if anyone gets hit. She isn't tauntable in p2, so tanks have to fight for threat while dps watch aggro and misdirects / tricks are used intellegently. Adds continue to spawn in p2 and have to be killed. There are three mind controls at a time rather than one, and the mind control lasts about 4 seconds longer.


Anyhow, hopefully more videos to come. Hope some of you enjoy. Cheers.

Pretty cool stuff. It's a lot to take in for someone like me who has never been on a raid (or even a 5 person, not one unfortunately). I did have a question, your picture in the top left seems to be animated. Is that part of a custom UI or am I just missing something in the settings?

I want to kill this fucker so bad :\ I think the 10 man I have put together will get there in the next month or so, but 25 man is still a long way off for me, the furthest I've been is to putricide.

It's a custom UI. I think it might be X-perl. The person that made the video isn't me. I tried making some kill videos back in burning crusade, but found that my editing abilities were a bit lacking =(.

X-perl is mostly just an aesthetic choice. It will replace the blizzard frames (player, target, target of targer, and raid) with x-perl frames which are significantly more customizable and admittedly cooler looking. I don't use it, but a lot of people seem to like it.

I personally still use the default blizzard player / target frames, although I do use Grid for my raid frames. Admittedly the 3D picture is cool, but I spend most of my time gazing at health bars anyhow.

Heroic Putricide 25man

http://vimeo.com/11644247

He says he screwed up the quality in vegas somehow, so it looks a bit worse than the others. Also the speeding up doesn't really do the fight justice. Easily the hardest Wrath encounter that we've done since Mimiron hardmode / heroic Anub'arak.

Major changes from normal are:

-11 million more hps, 33% more hitpoints on adds
-damage, from him and particularly from his green ooze adds, is much higher
-3 malleable goo's at a time
-orange gas bombs under him explode if anyone comes close to them in addition to their usual timer
-unbound plague, a debuff that has to get passed from player to player about every 5-8 seconds or it kills you. Passed via proximity
-the transitions from phase 1-2 and 2-3 he no longer simply stuns the raid. Instead, both of his experiments (adds) are spawned at the same time and everyone is given a polarity so that they can only damage one type of experiment
-phase 3 requires 4 tanks rotating aggro on him, is much longer due to his increased hitpoints, and thus as you saw improper slime puddle management can lead to a real goat rodeo. I'm not sure how we pulled the kill off with that shit everywhere

Heroic Lich King 25man. Boomkin perspective. It's a 17 minute fight and the videos aren't sped up - just fair warning.

I thought I'd throw up a few videos to show some of the new heroic raids if anyone is interested.

BTW, yes I stole the guild name Pravus Dei :D I was in Pravus when I quit and always loved the name.

These videos are from my fiancee's POV (mage), and I am the bear tank.

Heroic Magmaw 10 (started a bit late)

Heroic Nefarian 10

I am especially proud of this one. At the time of writing this, only 0.83% of 10 man guilds that have killed raid bosses have downed heroic nef.

I've been playing much more casually this expansion. I lead a 10m team comprised mostly of friends, and we only raid about 7-9 hours a week (which I suppose seems like a lot, but is actually relatively casual, especially since I barely log on at all outside of raids).

I haven't bothered to fraps anything thus far, but I had planned on taking videos of a few kills this coming week. We're only 4/7 in FL. Alysrazor has been kind of a bitch.

So yeah, gonna make a few videos this week, but we'll see how long it takes me to edit and upload them because I'm mildly lazy.

Very nice Ash. Blackwing;s Bane is a real bitch of a fight on 10. I only went 6/13 in t11, so never got to work on it really, but it looks pretty rough.

The disparity on some of the t11 fights from 10 to 25 is a real nuisance. Granted they fixed some of the issues, but the comp problems are always going to be there. I preferred raiding 25man content from a strictly raiding standpoint, but at this point it's so much nicer and more convenient to just have a small group of friends that I actually like playing with than deal with a bunch of random assholes :p.

They actually nerfed heroic Nef for 10 man the day after we killed him. We were racing to down him before they did. It was seriously over tuned then...by far the hardest fight I've ever done. Took us around 230 attempts I think? After the nerf we were able to go back and usually kill him in 1-5 attempts, and any wipes were always in phase 3, or due to bugs with the lava.

We are sitting at 1\7 heroic so far in Firelands, and would be farther but are currently looking for a new offtank. We have maybe had a total of 8 hours from our offtank this tier, and otherwise had a really shitty backup. He was there for our first Rag and Heroic Shannox kill (actually, both times he came in and the fight was down within 2 attempts). If I can get the tank I have been talking to, then we should start rolling through the rest of these heroics. I just have to convince him to give up his raid lead \ co-gm spot of a guild that is below us haha.

Rhyolith video:

I fucked up when I rendered this one - the quality is fine and everything, but the size of the video is too small. It's still watchable (on fullscreen anyhow) just some gaps around the edges.

Probably not gonna bother uploading the Alysrazor shit I have atm as it's like 14 minutes long and I don't feel like dicking with it. I'll throw Bethtilac and Majordomo up sometime next week probably.

Heres our first kill of Rag. We were server first to clear the normals, but have fallen behind in heroics now because we have had to replace 3 people (2 replacements are set, the 3rd is our offtank and its a bitch to find someone good enough).

Edit:

Sorry ahead of time for the music. My fiancee does the videos and couldn't find anything good for the length of this kill.

Started working on Rag tonight. Got him into p3 in about three hours of attempts, and we were consistent with the first transition and getting most of the way through p2 by about halfway through the evening. I realize p3 is by far the hardest phase, but looks like we might get him next week.

Honestly, once you get it down pretty well, p2 + transition is the hardest phase, but if you do the transition wrong it can make p3 much harder. Have one of your ranged get one of the sons going through the lava low but don't kill. Kill all the other sons, then have everyone burn the scions and pop lust. Can get a good 10-15 seconds on the scions before rag is going to emerge and you have to pop the son. We usually get one Scion dead and the other under half before rag is up, so have a lot more time to focus on him before meteors come out.
