Frostbolt, a World of Warcraft Blog

&otFor some reason this phrase seemed familiar

Ok, hopping into today’s update. A couple of hours ago we got High Astromancer Solarian down (aka Lolarian®). It took us just three attempts to take him down (it was a totally new fight for most of us).

[item]Star-Soul Breeches[/item]

Here are a couple of screenshots of the fight.

After killing Lolarian®, we had our very first night on Kael’thas attempts. The fight itself is pretty complicated.

There’s not much details I can give, for now, until we down him We got into phase 3 easy with almost no casualities at all, so it shouldn’t take too long (probably, hehe, I hope I don’t jinx it).

Last, but not least, a while ago someone asked me about the addons I was using. Here’s a big screenshot, below is all the references. I’ll keep descriptions short because it’s a long list.

!BugGrabber – Works along with BugSack, keeps track of AddOn errors.

Aloft – Changes the health plates on people/mobs.

Bartender3 – Action bars in the middle.

BigWigs – Boss Mod.

BugSack – Works along with !BugGrabber, keeps track of AddOn errors.

Cartographer – World map enhancer.

CastYeller – Announces special casts while in combat (for example battle rez and innervate).

Natur EnemyCastBar – Casting bar counter.

EavesDrop – Minimal combat log, pretty good for tanks IMO.

FuBar – The toolbar at the top, it has several stuff that can be plugged, similar to Titan Panel.

MonkeyQuest – Quest log enhancer.

oCB – Changes the default casting bar.

Omen – Threat meter.

Omni Cooldown Count – Cooldown counter on skills and items.

oRA2 – Similar to CT_RaidAssist, but lighter and has a lot more functions.

Outfitter Updated – Wardrobe addon, similar to Itemrack.

PitBull – Player, party, target, etc. frames.

RatingBuster – Changes the tooltip so it’s easier to know stuff, like how much AGI gives what amount of crit and stuff like that.

Scrolling Combat Text / Scrolling Combat Text Damage – Shows up a lot of information in the screen.

SimpleChatMods – Chat addon that enhances it (gives colors, time, scroll with the scroll wheel, etc.)

SimpleMinimap – Changes the minimap to something more useful.

sRaidFrames – Works along with oRA2, as the name says, it’s a raid frame addon. Pretty nice IMO, been using it for a long while. There has been some talking in my guild about switching to Grid, but idk, I’ve tried it twice and it always seem so complicated.

Tankalyze – Announces special tank stuff (aoe taunt used, taunt resisted, etc.)

TinyTip – Modifies the tooltip when you move it to people.

Most of these addons can be found in WoWAce (direct download of them in files.wowace.com). If anyone needs a more elaborated post with the addons I use please let me know and I’ll see if I have a chance. There’s also a software for Mac similar to WoWAceUpdater (aka WAU), which is called MacAceUpdater (found it a couple of weeks ago, very helpful).

Before I end, we also killed Vashj this week so raid-wise, things went very nice.
