Naxxramas 10 man raid on February 1st, 2009. Filmed from perspective of a hunter (me). This one was a pain. The biggest problem is kiting the chow. We ended up going with hunter/mage combo dropping frost traps. As long as they have a healer and they group up prior to decimate, it'll all be grouped and ready for AE attacks. Plus, splitting the chow between two players greatly reduces the stacking damage. For the most part we're keeping players that aren't tanks or kiters in the centre of the room. This way, if chow attack healers, the kiters don't have far to get them. I'm using two pieces of my frost resist set (used later for Saph) to add extra stamina, as that's what important here. I'm basically only using Distracting Shot, Aimed Shot, and my Frost Trap and Concussive Shots here. We ignored Enrages, which didn't seem to be a problem. It's a bit hard to kite and Tranq Shot at the same time. I have almost no idea what the tanks are doing but you can hear them talking in Vent, so hopefully that helps. Some visible add-ons/mods to the interface are Deadly Boss Mods and Omen Threat Meter. The audio comes from a Ventrilo chat server.

Being geared as much as I am, I have ran two Naxx runs and wiped twice. One of them was Gluth, and I was put on kiting duty. My problem was that they dropped aggro from me and went towards Gluth. Never thinking about distracting shot, I tried DPSing them back. By then, Gluth got too much health and we decided to wipe it.

After seeing your video, I'm going to use distracting shot now. =D

I actually have changed a lot since this video. Now I change out a lot of my hotkeys and line up the following:

1. Multishot

2. Aimed Shot

3. Distracting Shot

4. Explosive Shot

So I have 4 possible instant shots for grabbing things quick.

5. Frost Trap

6. Deterrence

7. (a PvP free movement trinket of your choice)

The 6 and 7 are for if the stacks get nuts and you start getting beaten on badly.

I have tried to kite on Gluth a few times now, and I completely fail at it. I get so many stacks on me and I die leaving the other kiter to do it. The times we have tried it was hunter/hunter and hunter/mage. Any tips on kiting, because I am completely fail at it.

Well the way I'm going it in this video isn't a good example. Read the response I gave to sundinDT182. The key is to drop a trap in front of the grate and circle strafe around it. Keep that trap up 100% of the time. Besides the healer, I like to have another person helping. They can spend 90% of their time DPSing Gluth and then near the end, they can bring back a chow if it somehow gets up front or even help with the load, seeing as 5 chow are fine, but 9-10 is when it starts getting hectic.

[sundinDT182]

uhmm some tips for nood - drop a frost trap right at the beginning infront of the middle grate (the side that's closest to gluth), and the just run around in a circle, trying to get them in a close-knit group. use deterrence if necessary.

2/2

[noodwow]

Hehe, that's actually exactly what I do now. I've learned a lot since this one. I have a custom setup of hotkeys for this one:

1. Multi Shot

2. Aimed

3. Distracting

4. Explosive

5. Deterence

6. Frost Trap

I just concentrate on those, doing traps in front and circle strafing. If things get crazy I use Deterence but I've almost got it one manned. Generally I use another hunter - he does DPS until I get to about 5 chow then he comes back and we both circle strafe until Decimate.

[grixs91]

My hot keys and rotation is

1. serpent sting

2. black arrow

3. explosive shot

4.aimed shot

5.steady shot

When lock and load pops up i ignore the rotation and just use explosive shot till lock and load runs out

i pull about 7k in raids with that shit its really good

[Zefyron667]

mages r the best kiters at gluth imo

[Evilnils]

Aye, amazing quality on HD. Nice one :)

[njdss4]
