I had a stamina set before that I could get to 54.7k buffed hp.. dropped off 3k hp and picked up the extra FR to get to 341 FR and proceeded to win easily. Never died to a fire breath unless healers were dead and I wasn't full life.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for this awesome and informative post! I also loved the related one about how resistance works.Zoblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-33560084393762291442009-04-10T12:16:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:16:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01057402736853477975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-72259816884458071002009-04-09T14:12:00.000-07:002009-04-09T14:12:00.000-07:00ANOTHER thank you!We just cleared it 25 man, too.....ANOTHER thank you!<BR/><BR/>We just cleared it 25 man, too... <BR/><BR/>Woo!Aberdeehttp://www.duskronin.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-69556560919625872142009-04-06T10:03:00.000-07:002009-04-06T10:03:00.000-07:00Aberdee - thanks and congrats on your kill!Aberdee - thanks and congrats on your kill!Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-19455844571410379762009-04-05T16:08:00.000-07:002009-04-05T16:08:00.000-07:00THANK YOUKalon thanks to your FR gear list, and To...THANK YOU<BR/><BR/>Kalon thanks to your FR gear list, and Torosso thanks to your ring suggestion, our little 10 man group within a 25 man "serious but not hardcore" raid guild managed to clear OS+3 10 man for the first time tonight, an achievement that many people probably thought was beyond our guild.<BR/><BR/>For anyone else trying to gear up - I (druid) had JC instead of leatherworking, and used a Monarch Crab with 2x +41 stam gems and a belt buckle with a +41 stam in it (didn't need socket bonuses elsewhere). <BR/><BR/>So - thanks buddy, and many congratulations on your new family.Aberdeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-10435676134731097642009-02-24T05:42:00.000-08:002009-02-24T05:42:00.000-08:00Excellent post.

My guild have started work on 3 drakes now and I had yet to see any summarising posts regarding fire resistance, and as a result I was reluctant to try it.<BR/><BR/>However, I have noticed that you have not included Mark of the Wild in your resists, this can increase your resistance by a further 76, which means you only need to look for 71 fire resistance.

The FR set really makes a difference in 10 man, I'm told; since you don't need any cooldowns you can spend as long as you want killing the disciples or the drakes without it being a problem on your side. That takes a lot of the time pressure off and makes things a lot more manageable.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-36735390377183804282009-02-06T10:46:00.000-08:002009-02-06T10:46:00.000-08:00sorry, should have pointed out that I have the 8 F...sorry, should have pointed out that I have the 8 Fr chant to gloves and was using the 50 resist flask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-90594985521685317362009-02-06T10:45:00.000-08:002009-02-06T10:45:00.000-08:00We did 3D last night for the first time in what to...We did 3D last night for the first time in what took us easily over 100 tries.

Yeah, that is definitely a better choice overall. <BR/><BR/>Hypetech, I purposely tried to avoid mentioning specific bonuses for professions other than leatherworking - but you're right, alchemy also has an innate advantage because of mixology. 25 more FR can really help here, and would mean you'd only need one ring or amulet with 30 FR to get to the 277 point.<BR/><BR/>Kane - thanks for coming by. I use the commendation because I'm not a JC. If you have a monarch crab, that's obviously a much better choice here.<BR/><BR/>Cypis, in 10man the max breath you can take at 277 FR is 35291 damage, which equates to a bit over 47k before the fight. So you shouldn't need to use any cooldowns to survive it - though you might consider it to make your healer's lives a bit easier.<BR/><BR/>Mugio - thanks for coming by as well. The EJ posts that reference 415 FR are decent, but they also reference having no less than 4 AH green FR items. That's not likely to happen any time soon. If you can get to 415 FR though you'll be mitigating a ton of damage, and if you have 50.5k health you'll be able to deal with all breaths without a single cooldown. Still, it's a very costly task that requires a lot of sacrifice, and more importantly it's just not that necessary. <BR/><BR/>Race - Trogdor Strikes again!

I agree that it is easy to get for most people and that you'll still be wearing a large portion of very good gear. Hitting 277 will be my initial goal. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if it would be better to gear for 415 resist. It seems like its possible to reach 415 resist and still have 50k buffed HP pre-debuff based on some posts seen on EJ. Is the lost of armor and dodge in such a setup worth the additional reduction in breath damage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872162580492321772.post-20129830322375994442009-02-05T06:06:00.000-08:002009-02-05T06:06:00.000-08:00With barkskin, you need 35289 health (or 47053 wit...With barkskin, you need 35289 health (or 47053 without the 25% buff).<BR/>With Survival Instincts you need 45243 health without the 25% buff).<BR/>With nightmare seed and a mighty fire protect potion, you need 50549 health.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Any chance you could post the numbers for the 10man version?
