BC: The End of UI-Mods like Decursive

[Arnulf]

Arnulf, I am a paladin.

Yes, I know.

Well, I want to explain why I think the opposite of Decursive regarding fights like Chromaggus.

When our raid does Chromaggus, he is pulled from his cell under the large doorway that leads to the next room. Most of the raid is stationed on the left wall (looking from the large room) and just out of line of sight. When doing damage, the artillery (mages, warlocks, hunters) are moving away from the wall. When the breathes are coming (someone announces them over TS) they're going back and hug the wall.

Two groups, off-warriors and rogues, are stationed on the other side of the archway. Along with a mage, a druid, a priest, and a paladin. When I'm on duty on that side, I have to dispell that druid, mage, priest, the rogues, and the off-warriors. When I was still using Decursive (a long time ago) it usually would select the wrong target. I would get nothing done except a message that that target is not reachable.

So, what I'm doing is to pull out the warriors and the rogues from the raid and have an eye on the druid, the priest, and the mage on my side. When not afflicted by bronze I am only dispelling and not healing anything. Also I have to dispell myself from the blue affliction first, since it eats my mana. While I can at least once use stoneform to get myself rid of a desease and/or poison.

I have witnessed that all of my mana was used up in a Chromaggus fight just with dispelling alone.

Similar rules apply when I'm dispelling on the artillery side. With some slight changes however. I am watching out for blue so that I can dispell paladins and priests faster on that side. What I am trying to say is that Decursive is more of a bane than a boon in this fight. I'm not on top of things right now about the utility of the newest Decursive. But I guess you can define priority lists etc. But still I wouldn't use it.

Another small example. Our raid has still issues with the bug trio in Ahn'Qiraj. Fearing, poison volleys, and random charges are still a good way to kill morale and the fight deteriorates into a heap of chaos.:)One of our priests had the idea that we assign at least one druid or paladin to a group. And that their responsibility is to dispell only that group of poison. Suddenly it worked!
