A-dds, B-elly C-hains, or
A-dds, B-oss C-how.
Some outright specifics of who the hell is doing what before the Shield Toss/Tomahawk, plz thx.
The New Hotness is "all DPS in the belly," which conceptually works, I suppose (since they can burn quick and get back out) -- but in my experience, it often goes wrong. Nothing is more fun then getting spat back out only to find that the entire alliance is dead because the adds overwhelmed them.
Last night in my second WoD run, A and C got into an argument about who was going to get eaten. Someone said "A=adds, B=belly, C=chains" in the midst of this, and in B, my response was, "B is... not going to B involved in this argument."
Shockingly, despite half of A and half of C being eaten, we took him out on the first go.
EDIT: Another funny story about that run: I was, as usual, Bringing the Boom as BLM. About 30 seconds into Cloud of Darkness, the main tank drops, and the Cloud instantly turns to me and says, "Attack 2800 + 1300/tick bleed!" Despite the valiant efforts of our healers, I did not survive this.
Fun fact: This is now the second time this has happened to me in WoD.
Fun fact 2: It is not uncommon for me to get a crit proc or two on Syrcus bosses (or crit a Flare on trash) and rip threat right off the PuG tank. It's become such a joke that, when I group with healers I know, they just start precasting heals on me the second they see Thunder 3 or Flare.
