Thread: About WoD all DPS in stomach.

I hate the idea.

When I'm dps i hate going in because i don't wanna get unlucky and killed by Unknown.
When I'm healer i hate this idea because i don't wanna raise a dead dps flushed out of doggie's belly.
((When I'm tank, well it's none of my business. But generally speaking, dead dps = less damage = longer wait = more chance to mess up = potential wipe))

So yeah.

And quite frankly, it doesn't really speed up the phase by a whole lot. And alas, wolfsbane will go wild outside of belly.

Don't have a suggestion or solution to this, but when I'm tanking, I usually go in belly along with many DPS and tank the Unknown while DPS are killing stomach. Might pop a couple CD but it's worth it. No dead DPS, everyone's happy.

Or better yet, one tank go in there and grab the adds while the dps kill the walls. Once the walls are down, everyone gets flushed out.

The idea is just fine, people just never execute it properly

regardless of the reason why, if it's very rarely executed properly in pugs, the default maybe should just be Adds Belly Chains.

I Typically tank, and I will often OT that fight, solely b/c then I know I will be picking up the adds outside. Hopefully at least one healer in my PT stays out to heal me.

The Unknown is such a problem when you have a bad 3rd off tank... which is pretty often. There are some decent work arounds, however. The Unknowns are susceptible to CC mechanics. As BRD, for example, I can Bind them if I need to. I rarely get to go in when I'm SCH though, since I tend to be in MT group, so I can't remember if Miasma II heavy works on them.

Most WoD groups I get in are all in DPS. It usually works out well, maybe 1 dead DPS on average while in the belly, since its normal that a tank doesn't follow (which they should have done). I'm noticing more often though that at least one of the OTs will be good about picking up Wolfsbane adds... which is more important at least. Good on you to head in when you tank, as it does help reduce problems... I'm hoping the other OT is picking up the adds outside though lol.

Why not just do "all DPS + 1 tank"? There's no point having 2 off-tanks outside. Is there a reason why both off-tanks would remain outside?

In the JP data center it's always party A in the stomach. The JP data center generally have the safer and more straight-forward strategies as the standard, it seems.
