Alrighty.. I have to say this.. we did great taking down Leo as far down as we did BUT as he turns to his 15% people get worried.. afraid of the split etc.
Do not worry about the split.. It is STILL the same fight..
I have to give a good job to Maube for giving those instructions on WHEN and WHEN NOT to DPS..
I did see a lot of people holding back on DPSing on Leo when he was in his Human / Elf form.
Hunters... when Ascoli have him.. START DPSING.. if your FD is down or is being resisted and your threat is already a lil to high for comfort level.. stop attacking for 2-3 or so sec then go back in full .. there is no need to wait until he have a firm 10k threat because then well you only get off perhaps 2 steady shots then he changes form or starts his spinning move and ALWAYS send in your pet.. I know me.. I didnt always do it so im smacking myself on the head for that but it shouldnt be a problem to recall your pet if the spin move / demon form comes in.. Unless you changed it, CTRL+2 is to recall / follow your pet to you. But the pet is extra dps.. If you pet dies.. its not the pets fault.. its your own.. recall your pet when Leo Spins..
I wanna give our tanks a good job on tanking throughout the run.
Healers.. we couldnt have done it without ya hehe but as always.. Good job on keeping the rest of us suckers alive hehe.
I wanna stress out to the DPS in the raid.. you know how to play your class .. get to know the fight in regards to when to start dps'ing and when to stop.
If you are unsure.. get yourself a boss mods.. Big Wigs (ask around if there are others as im sure there are) does help A LOT.. as it will give times etc on when to start dpsing and when mobs are to do their special moves. This way you will be more aware of the fight as the time goes by.
Good job on the melee dps .. you did awesome.. running in and out when Maube told you so.
Our last attempt when Leo was at 1 freaking %... we should have had him... damnit..
If this post is out of line or wrong for what ever reason.. delete it i dont care..
I was so upset that we didnt get to take him down that i was on fire.. hehe. We should have had him so I started to think of improving our dps.
As I see that the healers did good, the tanks did good.. the dps did.. well.. lets just say.. not so good.. dont get me wrong.. we do good dps but a lot of us need to FOCUS more and know WHEN to start and WHEN to stop etc.
Lets have a talk on what we did so we can have others give their input on how we can improve.
I can start.
During the Human / Elf form this is what i did:
When Maube said DPS ON i started out with Steady shot if my threat got to him i would either try and FD or hold for 2 sec then spam steady shot.
At the same time as Maube said DPS on I sent my pet in (Some time I forgot due to .. i dont know why but perhaps stress or being afraid in some way of dragging aggro).
When Maube said DPS OFF I put my pet on follow (I know here i forgot and freaked out when my pet is down.. and as we all know hunters pets are in need to be alive.. /smack Perthes on the head).
When Maube said DPS off TURN AROUND FAST to stop dpsing then push ESC key to stop attacking or if you have another way.. then do that.. but this is what i do.
When the spin move comes.. Run around the pillar in the back when you run in the hall way.. You should be able to see the target that they have put on the boss so you can stay out of line of sight of the boss.. I have a boss mod and when I see the spin move have about 3 sec left and Leo is far away i run back out and wait until I hear DPS ON and I do as I stated above. I prolly could dps when he spinning but I have not tried that yet..
This is my area where i can try it out and of course stop when he have stopped his spin.
When Leo changes to a DEMON form this is prolly the easiest time to DPS.
WAIT until Maube again says DPS ON.. doing the above starting statement for DPS on.
Normally here i use my trinkets, abilities for shooting faster, enrage, what ever to increase my DPS.
When we get the instruction to DPS off i set my pet to follow AGAIN (a few times i forgot) then I turn around to simply look in another direction to make me stop shooting faster.
If I forget to take my pet off follow.. it dies due to aggro etc and well it takes 4 sec for it to be rezed for me and well 4 sec can be 5k or so damage on the boss.
I know I did this a few times and I try every time to remember to recall my pet.. not easy when you get tunnel vision.
So this is my way of dpsing on Leo... Please rip it apart and give me some idea's on what to change and what to improve.
I dont wanna go in to the Inner Demon problem as this is a touchy subject.
EDIT: Edited a few small things i kinda saw was a lil vague..
