I generally try to explain a few major details such as the bosses abilities for those who actually care to know the whole fight, then I launch into specifically what people should be doing. I try to tell tanks, DPS, and healers exactly what they should be focusing on most and only what is important for their role.<br /><br />I think the key is differentiating between telling people what the enemies do as opposed to telling them what to do. People respond well when you give them clear conscise instructions. If you explain complicated strategies and expect them to figure out what they should be doing at a given time, then they're just going to get confused.<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />TANKS: Just tank the boss in the back. When he casts Frozen blows, OT should taunt to pick it up and tank his frost damage. Blow cooldowns on that if you have to.<br /><br />HEALERS: There's of raid damage after a flash freeze. When a flash freeze is coming, stand on the snow drifts and any other time try to stand near the fires or in the lights.<br /><br />DPS: If anything is ice blocked, DPS it first, then move to the boss. Stand in the light and dodge icicles, but when flash freeze comes, stand on snow drifts.<br /><br />A full encounter description is to much for most people to process at once, so giving them just a few points to focus on really does help them focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-26696324305663398472009-05-08T01:22:00.000-08:002009-05-08T01:22:00.000-08:00Short is beautiful.

So very short first, then try and wipe. After that people will understand what you're talking about in your (still short) instruction.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-77671929353577880352009-05-07T16:27:00.000-08:002009-05-07T16:27:00.000-08:00It seems that most of the fights now - especially ...It seems that most of the fights now - especially for 'normal' mode (10 or 25 man) can be brute forced. Once you've done it you can focus on fine tuning the skills you need to get past it on hard mode.Adgamorixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642665863641484225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-78352094532379183462009-05-07T14:05:00.000-08:002009-05-07T14:05:00.000-08:00I could not agree more.

I write all the guides for boss fights in my guild and I post extremely detailed information from moves to strategies etc., but at the end I post a 4-5 bullet point summary for those raiders that need it in TL:DR form.Ridgehttp://facepalm.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-64661964597724233052009-05-07T12:36:00.000-08:002009-05-07T12:36:00.000-08:00Excellent points made, sometimes we are our own wo...Excellent points made, sometimes we are our own worst enemies when it comes to going over the details of a fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
