No tanking fix? Fix ZA Protadin requirement

#0 - May 23, 2008, 4:27 p.m.

At our current level of gear and skill the group I run ZA with can not get a bear mount without a Protadin.

***Before you post they aren't required please re-read that first line, my group requires one, we've tried without and it doesn't happen.

I'm fine with Protadins being the only AE tank for 25 mans but it really hurts in 10 mans. As the ZA raid leader I can't guarantee a Paladin is going to be available and sadly I don't always want to bring one. Not because I have a problem with the class but because I'd like to run ZA with my RL friends and none of us rolled a Paladin or wants to. Up until recently there were 8 of us who were RL friends and we would bring a Protadin guildy but 3 other friends recently xferred to our server and we would like to get all of us (of course minus 1!) into ZA and get bear mounts. We can't do this because of the required stacking.

If all AE pulls (including jan'alai's adds) had half the mobs but they all did double the damage this zone would be much better for those of us who can't guarantee a Protadin.

This small change would not hurt Protadins because they would still:
1) Be able to pull multiple pulls to go quicker
2) Be able to ranged AE taunt
3) Bring raid wide custom buffs
4) Judge wisdom on bosses
5) Not give Hex Lord the mortal strike ability

Q u o t e:

YOU ARE WRONG STOP LYING

The bear mount is for people who outgear the instance or people who bring a Paladin tank.

The second part is garbage.

Hi, can you do me a favor? Can you say that line again about paladins protecting their monopoly? I don't think you've said that comment enough. Also, could you start calling it an empire? I think empire would work really well there.

I know MANY people who have obtained the bear mount from Zul'Aman without a protection paladin.

Q u o t e:
From worldofwarcraft.com: Zul’Aman is a 10-person raid dungeon located in the Ghostlands, with enemies and spoils that pick up where Karazhan leaves off. This outdoor raid dungeon is home to the vicious Amani forest trolls and their leader, the infamous Zul’jin. You and your band of heroes will battle the dungeon’s six bosses, including four avatars of Zul’Aman, each bearing the aspect of a different ferocious creature. Zul’Aman also features a challenging bonus reward structure based on completing certain objectives within a time limit, which provides an extra level of challenge – and thrills – for seasoned raid groups.

Wages...

Don't ya know, we meant "seasoned with holy power". Sheesh.

Q u o t e:

Yeah we've already determined that, its called outgearing the instance.

Outgearing the instance IS being appropriately geared for obtaining the bear mount. We specifically tuned the it for players in tier 6 gear.

Grats to those who have done it in lesser gear. My apologies if you're not one of them.

Q u o t e:

We do it with a Paladin, have you been reading? What you mean to say is "too bad for those of you who can't' guarantee a paladin you have much higher gear and skill requirements, if you can't get T6 and take part in only 10 mans you are sol, buy the expansion."

I never said too bad to anyone, friend. I simply gave my apologies that you are currently unable to obtain a bear mount. Again, the bear mount was tuned for players in tier 6 gear. Players in lesser gear are going to have a more difficult time, but it's certainly obtainable in lesser gear.

Posting here to protect my monopoly. (since it's been a few posts since this was said last, OP must have forgotten to add it....)

Good work, our monopoly must remain secure.
