Wow, way to go. I'm wondering in what dungeon you guys will have your first wipe :P

August 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterShaun

If you've been watching Shaun they already have wiped

1 tiny little tip for Drdark. Seeing as you're a sword combat rogue, start DPS as soon as the boss is in range instead of always waiting untill you're behind the boss.

Some bosses don't need melee to be behind them to avoid cleave or some such.

Bosses can parry though Luuk. Maybe it's not important in heroics but it's good practice for raids.

Good episode! Very close, on Ikiss. My first group for Sethekk Halls wiped three times on that guy...on NORMAL. :(

Goggins: Ancestral Spirit works when you target the dead party member using the party member list. Great if someone dies under a big baddy. Doesn't work if they've released, though--you'd target the ghost.

Great episode guys..jowever i fell that you had trouble on this boss..but at least hes dead and i can't say otherwise

I'm probably pushing this point obsessively, but i think it should be seen in some semi-popular medium (also, if you mentioned it in the wrap-up, i could die happy):
The Arakkoa race is based on (replace that with a phrase of your choosing, like "inspired by" or "ripped off of") the Aarakocra, originally thought of by Lawrence Schick for purposes of the D&D supplement "Fiend Folio" back in 1981.

what was with all of those absorbs later in the fight?

Amazing Show guys, keep it up don't stop. Also maybe some arena or pvp videos could be in your future?????????????

@Umen

You may be right, but then it must be a fusion of ideas/inspiration. I believe that they were inspired by Jim Henson and Frank Oz's "Skeksies" - who bear a striking resemblance to the Arakkoa- from the movie, "The Dark Crystal" (1982). Infact, in Veil Skith there is even a "Darkstone."

Odds are the WoW designers are the geekiest geeks in all of Geekdom and created the Arakkoa with these and many other inspirations. Blizzard is famous for its movie/pop-geek culture references.
