Raid Rx: Heroic Halfus healing case study {WoW}
Mar 7th 2011 7:58PM We do the following for Halfus Heroic 10s
3 Tanks - 2 Feral (one OS tank) and 1 Prot
1-2 Atonement specced Disc priests
Enhance Shaman Focus interupting the Nova with the Tanks
Holy pally
at least one Mage for the interupt after the roar.
Strat.
We release everything except for the Slate dragon(i think that is the name the one that is top left and does the stun on the boss)
OS tank starts on Halfus. To minimize the stacks on him we get the mage to pull and kite the boss to the steps and then the tank taunts (this way he has 5-10sec without debuffs or dmg while the other tanks position.
We have the pally Hand of Protection this tank at approx 6-7 stacks and he removes it with a cancel aura macro. This means he can pretty much solo tank Halfus until the first drake is dead.
Second feral tank (ME!) picks up Nether Scion + Time Warden. Dps zerg down the Scion with Heroism.
Prot warrior picks up Storm Rider and Whelps. We pretty much ignore the Whelps as cleave from our mage/pally/tanks/whatever usually kills them by the time the other drakes die.
Once Scion dies the two feral tanks trade taunts on Halfus and the Time warden to avoid excessive stacking the debuff. Feral tanks are ideal for this due to high dodge (you can dodge the Malevolent Strike)
all tank chain cooldowns and we use raid cooldowns as needed.
Discr priests go into smite mode once first two drakes are dead.
We release the slate dragon one everything else is dead just to make life easier and cause we like big dps numbers :)
sub 50% it really just about making sure the raid is topped up before roar and using cooldowns appropriate.
With all drakes/whelps down halfus takes 500% dmg so you can get him from 60-70% to dead in under a minute. The enrage really wont be an issue even though it looks like you wont get there the first time you kill it.
by far the easiest heroic in my experience.

I really loved this article for the most part.
I feel badly for the Trolls in this interpretation, however.
How can they be priests? If all they are a "primitive" elves?

I might be misunderstanding what you've said. It sounds like your making the point that there are people who may be racist, homophobic or whatever who are not young white males. And that the number of people with those kinds of attitudes are roughly equal accross different groups.
well I wont dispute the first thing. The second may be correct though there is no way for me to verify it objectively.
It may be my finishing comment wasnt clear. i was trying to do two things. A) Use an example of what appears to be unambiguously powerful/privileged group within WoW and the wider world. B) suggest that if other guys playing the game feel strongly about gender issues or feel the are being unfairly associated with douchebags they take a stand and help de-privilege these kinda of players and attitudes.
If you reject the concept of power and privilege you arnt gonna agree with anything i say so meh. Hopefully this cleared up what I was trying to say however.

I think some of the people replying here have difficulty with the concepts of Power and Privilege - or reject them outright. I realize it can be hard for a person to accept they may be in a position of relative power and/or privilege in a social setting when from their own point of view and in their own lives they may feel powerless or disenfranchised.
I support the idea of a guild like this for this reason. It's the creation of a space for a group that, within the wider WoW community, is in a relatively less privileged position.
To me this is different from say a "male only" or a "white male only" (to use examples people posted further up) as these groups are in a position of power within the public WoW community (and the RL world for that matter). Trade Chat, barrens chat, crappy guild chat - is already a safe space for them. This is not saying we cant be good, respectful and lovely people ( I am a boy after all! ). I just dont see how we need a safe space.
to me it doesnt seem to be about isolationism as much as it is about empowerment.
Racist, homophobic, misogynistic young white males take up an inordinately large amount of WoWs "public" space. The rest of us "guys" in WoW should really be challenging them and showing everyone they are a minority.
Good luck to your guild
