Tallstrider vs. Deathbringer Saurfang
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:15 pm
My 25-man raid very recently asked me to swap from my DK to my hunter, since we were overly melee-heavy. Since I'm a dedicated Beast Master (and since they're kind enough to let me raid that way since I do pull my weight, even as BM), I'm trying to find other ways to help the raid out as I can.
I remembered seeing a post on the old boards about the fact that the tallstrider pet's family ability of Dust Cloud worked on raid bosses. I mentioned this to one of the raid officers, specifically with reference to the Deathbringer Saurfang fight, thinking that even if it's only one hit every 40 seconds or so, every blood point we can keep off him would help. I was told that there had been a post somewhere about avoidance being nerfed in reference to this fight, so that even if he attempts to cast or strike, he gets the point. I was also told that they'd do research and see if a giant chicken would be in any way helpful.
So I'm doing a little research of my own. Does anyone know if Dust Cloud will work (wark?) on the Deathbringer, and if his missing because of it will prevent him from gaining a blood point?
Thanks in advance.
