GUIDE: Buffs for endgame 40-man PvE, v.1.12


By: Bandobras@Al'Akir
Version: updated to wow v.1.12


This guide was written for players new to the endgame 40-man raiding experience, and for the more experienced players interested in an overview of the possibilities in relation to maximizing ones potential in raids. The guide concerns potions, consumables, enchantments, in short: buffs. The guide is adapted for all classes. Preparing yourself using the buffs mentioned in this guide will boost your raid significantly.

The complete guide is located here: http://www.thecrazyeights.com/c8s/viewtopic.php?t=908

I regret I have to link to an external forum for the actual guide, but the WoW forum did not allow for such long posts. And in the Crazy Eights-forum, I could make use of colors and other formatting codes not allowed on the WoW forum. With the size of the guide this proved to be a valuable tool in order to keep overview for the readers. I hope I have succeeded in this.

On the wow-forums, I will only post the list over the potion-consumables (POC) and non-aggressive consumables (NAC), as well as the index of the guide. For the guide itself with comments, go to the links above.

 

Concerning Potion consumables (POC): 2 min. cooldown.
5.1.2 Major Healing Potion (Restore 1050-1750hp)
5.1.3 Superior Healing Potion (Restore 700-900hp)[/color]
5.1.4 Purification Potion (Remove 1Curse, Disease&Poison-effect)
5.1.5 Living Action Potion (Immune&remove stun/movement impairing effect, 5sec.)
5.1.7 Greater Fire Protection Potion (Absorb 1950-3250firedmg, 1hr.)
5.1.8 Greater Arcane Protection Potion (Absorb 1950-3250arcanedmg, 1hr.)
5.1.9 Greater Shadow Protection Potion (Absorb 1950-3250shadowdmg, 1hr.)
5.1.10 Greater Nature Protection Potion (Absorb 1950-3250naturedmg, 1hr.)
5.1.11 Greater Frost Protection Potion (Absorb 1950-3250frostdmg, 1hr.)

5.1.13 Limited Invulnerability Potion (Immune physical dmg, 6sec.)
5.2.7 Greater Dreamless Sleep Potion (Incapacitated + restore 250hp&mana/sec, 12sec.)
5.2.10 Major Mana Potion (Restore 1350-2250mana)
5.2.11 Superior Mana Potion (Restore 900-1500mana)
5.3.4 Mighty Rage Potion (+45-75rage&+60str, 20sec.)
5.3.8 Greater Stoneshield Potion (+2000armor, 2min.)
7.1.16 Holy Spring Water (Restore 370-430hp&350-450mana, remove 1-4 magic debuffs.)

Concerning Non-aggressive consumables (NAC): 2 min. cooldown.
2.1.1 Whipper Root Tuber (Restore 700-900hp)
2.1.2 Night Dragon's Breath (Restore 394-456hp&mana)
3.3.1 Thistle Tea (Restore 100energy)
4.1.1 Crystal Restore (Restore 44,66hp/sec, 15sec.)
7.1.15 Warlock: Major Healthstone (Restore 1200hp.)
7.1.17 Crystal Basilisk Spine (+10frost&shadow res, 1min.)
7.1.18 Frozen Rune (Absorb 1500-2500 firedmg, 1hr.)
7.2.1 Demonic Rune (Restore 900-1200mana, lose 600-1000hp.)
7.2.2 Dark Rune (Restore 900-1200mana, lose 600-1000hp.)
7.2.3 Mana Ruby (Restore x mana)

Note that the Thistle Tea (NAC) and Holy Spring Water (POC) does NOT have the general 2 min. cooldown of their respective cooldown category. Using any of the consumables within each category will trigger a 5 min cooldown for those two. In other words: using a Dark Rune, a Healthstone or a Whipper Root will trigger a 2 min. cooldown on every other NAC, but a 5 min. cooldown on the Thistle Tea. Using a Mana Potion, Protection Potion or Purification Potion will trigger a 2 min cooldown on every other POC, but a 5 min. cooldown on the Holy Spring Water.

Ingredients for the above consumables

Some fights have such ridiculous requirements that the players cant be expected to pay for it themselves. Instead we have guildbanks that is paying the costs. Ie. Patchwerk. After a whole night of wipes on this boss we have had 4 tanks spending about 2x Flask of the titans + 30x Stoneshield potion + 10 elixir of superior defence each. that is 8 Flask of the titans + 120 Stoneshield potion and 40 elixir of superior defence in total.

Thats 520 stonescale eels spent in 4hrs folks!.

(in additon we had repaircost and spent a huge amount of mana pots aswell) Who is fishing all these eels? or picking all these herbs, the raiding guilds farm some themselves ofcourse but most of it are bough from other players who are most likely working as goldfarmers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREATER SHADOW PROTECTION
4 Fadeleaf & 4 Grave Moss that is required for ONE potion..

You can farm 1 stack of grave moss and fadeleaf every hour in SM

(I get like 2 nodes for 2 grave moss per reset, and I can reser 5 times per hour. That gives me 20 grave moss = 5 pots per hour. It takes like 15 minutes to do that.)

(You might as well get the Fadeleaf from the Armory after getting the Grave Moss from Graveyard, it's not like there's particularly much else to do around there...
)

Fadeleaf goes for 8 gold / 20 pieces on AH
