Class guides for 4.3 Dragon Soul

[Caireann]

Looks like Paragon decided to share their knowledge on bosses from PTR and will publish a series of tips&tricks class guides for normal bosses throughout the next week, starting off with rogues. Thought it may come in handy, will post more whenever they publish another ones ;) There will be a total of 8 guides, and based on the post tags, it's probably going to be balance druid, death knight, holy pala, hunter, mage, rogue, shadow priest and warlock.

With patch 4.3 just around the corner it's time we all made sure we have enough flasks (or guild cauldrons), fish feasts, potions, and repair money for our Dragon Soul adventures. If you are planning on setting your feet inside the 10 or 25-man instances you have most likely already taken a look at what the encounters look like, and how your class will change in the new tier.

But do you know exactly what you will be doing when the servers go live and you stand at the instance door in Caverns of time? We here at Paragon put (some of) our heads together and wrote guides for specific classes/roles for the first 7 bosses (we might add the 8th as well when we see it on live servers). Get to know the basics of the encounters from your class' persective in advance. Come to your raid with the right spec and knowledge of how to perform as well as possible.

We'll be publishing a total of 8 different guides daily from today until next Monday - the eve of Deathwing's (US) demise. The links will be updated to this post and to our front page. First up is Rakez and Fragi with their Rogue guide.

Nice guide ye, Glad they do have a raiding shammy. Shamans are either healers or ranged right?

Today's issue is on boomkin: http://www.paragon.fi/guides/moonkin-gu ... rmal-modes

[Fluttermouse]

TBH they could have best summarised that boomkin guide as "there's no change to the glyphs or spec you've been using and actually the tactics are a lot more boring than in firelands. Expect more single target (and hence crappy damage) as Blizzard really don't want you to stay in eclipse, and you'll be fine. Yes the t13 really is pretty much as bad as it looked at first glance."

Though why they have so many points in mana regen talents in the spec posted is somewhat beyond me. Unless the fights are 10-20min long boomkin aren't even going to get close to running out of mana and there are better (albeit small) dps increasers they've completely ignored.
