Dps'ing like mad in Naxx25

The time has come when some funny things happen.

Yesterday I went to Naxx25 with the guild.
From my last time with 3/13/55, I remember how difficult it was to beat anyone on the raid with my gear, and actually my last time I was the worst dps besides the tanks.

Things have changed, and amazingly, not only because of my gear. Ok, meanwhile I got one item from Naxx10, a MH sword which added 50 to my SP. But...

What happened yesterday was pretty funny.



Yes, I came out as top dps on five boss fights, actually, on all boss fights where I could go flat out, and 3rd overall dps, only loosing against a DK and a hunter with full 213 epics, and doing 1K dps more than the other locks filled with 213 (and 3/13/55 !!!). This guildie hunter and I actually engaged some conversation of how it was possible for me to do it with this gear.

Well... I just did it !

The secret is easy.. patch 3.1 went towards my way of playing, simcraft helped me tune some rotations and ... 0/41/30.

My felguard did an average 820 dps, nearly as much as one of the tanks, and 20% more than the full 213 hunter's pet.

Overall, after I've seen this run, I'm now a believer of SDD, and I think we'll soon be able to challenge Ulduar bosses. People were focused, purposeful and a joy to watch. We even tried an achievement on the spore boss, but someone killed one.

Today I have RL shit to do, so I may not attend my so wanted "HC Naxx clear"achievemnent unless we do it lightning fast. FUCK :(
