One death on a 25-man is a lot easier to absorb. The weight of responsibility is higher in 10-mans.<BR/><BR/>That's the essence of why Sarth+drakes is harder w/ 10. The most solid strategy has one player DPSing until Vesp lands, and then healing. The tanks have to do a little dance to make sure the drakes and the add tanks (of which there can only be one) cover everything. One healer has to deal w/ the massive dmg from Sarth on the MT with nobody else to pick up the slack.<BR/><BR/>To get down Sarth10+2, we were micromanaging things to squeeze every ounce of DPS out of the raid or we would fail. Everyone had to perform to max. No 25-man fight this side of Sunwell was that demanding on all raiders present.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946323064772331963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34280462.post-16861343040590964112009-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:002009-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:00I only think about 3 guilds have done Sarth10+3 on...I only think about 3 guilds have done Sarth10+3 on my server. And the best guild we have said it was really brutal.<BR/><BR/>That leads to the argument if Sarth10+3 is the hardest encounter should the loot be comparable to Sarth25+3?<BR/><BR/>Then again (only based on what I've done so far) everything else on 10 is easier than 25. I think it's because more people lead to more problems. :)Yane (Yet another night elf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04373678689973023610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34280462.post-48493096339614874522009-03-10T10:45:00.000-07:002009-03-10T10:45:00.000-07:00I posted my views on the raiding in the last 10 vs...I posted my views on the raiding in the last 10 vs. 25 thread you made >.>.<BR/><BR/>But for what it's worth, I'm a 10-man raider. <BR/><BR/>Sartharion is pointless if you don't leave drakes up, imo. Sarth10+2 drakes is already pretty intense, and we haven't even tried the 3 drake version.<BR/><BR/>Some of my guildies did a Sarth25+1 drake semi-pug simultaneous with doing the 20-man kill and reported that it was "easy". No comparison to its 10-man counterpart.<BR/><BR/>Not sure if that's what Blizzard intends in the future (they're dead set on the hard stuff being 25) but for this tier of content, 10s can definitely hold their own in terms of difficulty.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946323064772331963noreply@blogger.com
