Legion Unleashed, the guild that our group of Nazgûn superstars joined last week, killed Soulrender Zilas for the first time last night and it worked out to be the perfect time to highlight the capabilities of the Cabalist.
Nine of us from team Skittles and Sprite earned Most Dungeons cleared during the 24 hour RIFT Extra Life event and will receive all the rewards being given out - pretty awesome!
You need 330 focus for Hammerknell to use a *icar spec or to DPS. Not many options if you stick to Wisdom only items but it's possible, here's what you can look out for:
We went back to River of Souls this past Friday to clear the three Dark Focus again and put Warmaster Galenir down again on the second attempt to earn the achievement for having no deaths. After that we cleared to Plutonis and had a few exploratory pulls to get a feel for the fight. I suspect we'll be able to down him next week if all goes well. Saturday we went to GSB and killed Infiltrator and the Oracle, both for the first time. After that we made three pulls on Prince Hylas to get an idea what we should expect on Sunday when we returned and obliterated him. We made two pulls on Lord Greenscale, sent him into the air, and then called it early to do some Raid Rifts.
I put together a 20 man group for raiding on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as mentioned in my previous post and we managed to take down all three Dark Focus on Friday night and got in some decent exploratory attempts on Warmaster Galenir but were unable to get him down. Saturday we came back with half of the same group but had 10 new faces. After everyone learned the fight we started consistently getting him down below 10% health and painfully wiped at 1% once before
Upcoming Events
All times are eastern because I live on the east coast dur.
List of drops I am going for organized by role. Will update it as I get items to remove things and I am only going to list the top few for each slot in order of how good they are. Excludes items we wont be able to access for a while like off Greenscale or Alsbeth, nor does it include orange items. This is just for me to have a quick reference list if something drops so I don't have to wonder if it's better or not and to be able to intelligently select items that perform multiple roles over items that are more specialized.
Just a few to show how awesome the spec is. 1500-1700hps over 7-8 minutes. Say what?
The trash in River of Souls can be pretty rough if you have no idea what it does. We went in there and got completely annihilated on the first pull before we managed to get an idea of how to handle the different types. I'll update this post as we encounter different npcs.
Splashing your DPS build with Justicar enables a significant boost to your raid group in the form of AOE healing. From the more AOE DPS focused Shamicar to the more healing focused Senticar, these builds give you the versatility to make up for the mistakes others make to ensure the encounter is a success. In the full post I go into more detail on the different builds, listing the spell rotations I use to maximize effectiveness.
