Alex Savage dps requirements?

[MirielleLavandre]

Hihi all,
I'm wondering for any who may have tried or beat A1 of Savage Alex what kind of dps requirements there are? I main WHM but am hoping to go in with a group of friends, and am wondering if anyone knows what kind of damage numbers we need to be pushing per player or for the raid overall?

I know that I will be attempting to add as much dps as I can as a WHM, so I suppose that and the tank's dps are also an added benefit. Any information is greatly appreciated!

From what I'm hearing from other raiders, 6500 raid DPS.

I've heard of 6500 DPS being sufficient to clear... and 8000 DPS being insufficient. The trick, of course, is that this all fails to account for AoE damage sources going on, exact strategies, things like positioning of mobs for auto-AoE parts of the rotation (eg Elixir Drive), etc

Point is, the requirement on DPS is currently very high, and players are pretty much going to have to have some healer DPS added as well.

before you cry about healer dps, the actual dps have to gid gud and do their 1.3-1.4k dps on the nonmoving target that doesnt do any AEs or mechanics.

ANd in the real boss fight afterwards you wont have the healers help you out with dps because they will be kinda busy.

or stop being a bad healer and do both healing and dps

Doesn't justify the dps not doing their job to their full potential, but whatever :P

(side note, I do dps and heal lol)

Or just play how you want to play..I don't play a healer to be dps..I play a healer cause I enjoy healing..I play a dps to dps

No idea about the whole thing at all, but ^this^ is something the devs have said themselves, if I remember correctly, in one of the live letters. That they'd actually be doing this and design the fight with healer DPS in mind. So I guess it's not surprising if it's indeed the case.

No, they actually said the exact opposite.

I'm guessing they had 185 ilvl in mind for this zone. And folks playing top notch.
