"FCFS" - "first come first serve" is the rule. And yeah, it ends up being a whack a mole. If you get a chance (and a re a bit bored) read about rotation here:<br /><br />http://elitistjerks.com/f76/t68951-retribution_updated_3_3_a/ Section #3 is about rotation.<br /><br />I'll try to get a post up this weekend describing what I do with more specifics.<br /><br />@Brom - Glad to help, and thanks! <br /><br />Tunnel vision is STILL my biggest problem. Wither because I'm so stressed, or because it's a cakewalk, and I don't pay attention. <br /><br />One thing to do to help is to pull back your camera, so you get a braoder picture. The problem here is that it's hard to really be able to pay close attention to who is tho, and small specific things. It's a bit of a trade off, but it CAN help.<br /><br />I will give the heroics a try, from a "guide" type position, though I'm really not that well versed. (though I NEED to learn them if I ever want to tank!)<br /><br />When I can, I search youtube for good walkthroughs. For the Heroics, Cityhunter505 has some good (but a bit old) walkthroughs:<br /> <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwDuJIoQY44<br /><br />Tankspot has some good videos as well. <br /><br />I will occasionally *read* a strategy, but video usually works better for me. (actually reading first THEN watching the vid, and the RE-reading the strat works best for) but that can become a TON of work, especially with a dozen+ heroics, each with 3-5 bosses.SlikRXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385000304830840202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780098707419698899.post-76432464255296102002010-02-19T07:15:48.640-08:002010-02-19T07:15:48.640-08:00Hey Slik,

Something I often struggle with is tunnel vision and just focusing on the boss or trash mobs and then realizing the healer/caster is taking damage that I could have tried to prevent. I remember reading one of your older posts about everything a ret pally can do to help the group/raid and I think it can get overwhelming at times.<br /><br />Maybe for a future post for newcomers approaching the end game would be one about trickier bosses. For example, the end boss of Nexus with the DOT if you don't keep moving. I only figured that out after the 4th time through, haha.<br /><br />Thanks for your posts, keep up the good work!<br /><br />BromBromnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780098707419698899.post-7343327369878406542010-02-19T04:34:15.527-08:002010-02-19T04:34:15.527-08:00I was kinda hopin you would go into a Rotation. Cu...I was kinda hopin you would go into a Rotation. Currently my rotation starts off nice and neat how a rotation is supposta be, Then it turns into wack-a-mole with things that are cooled down. But it turns out ok cuz my DPS is pretty good.Amoro (icecrown)noreply@blogger.com
