CC? This is madness!

Crowd control is back with a vengeance in Ulduar, and more or less that’s a good thing. In Naxx, trash was basically all the same: round them up, AOE them down. In Ulduar, no more! Now you will kite them, or keep them separated (but not too separated), and make them face away from the raid, and so on.

Trash has depth, and that is scary.

As you can imagine, we’ve started deploying limited CC, mostly frost arrows. Sheeps have been deployed occasionally as well. It’s streamlined the pulls a lot, and cut down on wipes, which is always a good thing. I figure once we start to gear up more we’ll be able to steamroll through the packs with minimal to no crowd control.

And for the record, I am not a fan of effects like this one. Makes it very hard to hold aggro on large groups without constant target switching (what am I, a warrior?!).

    l about the winter revenant shield, what i do is usually this: mark the big guy with a skull, send the DK tank on him, call on vent “Single target dps only”, proceed to Hammer my way with the adds, and if they pull aggro, they get replaced for not being able to listen to such and absurdly simple directive.
