Frogger damageFollow

I refer you to your signature:

Our OT walked through one last night and was amazed that he lived. I grinned and said I never died on Frogger; 41k hp plus barkskin and it's not an issue :)

Edit: An even better story; we had wiped last week on Grobb (damn new people...) and were running back. I was the first back, when people started shouting on Vent that a slime was on them (Grob throws slimes in the second room if he's still up). I ran all the way back, going through frogger with no problem, in time to find 4 guildies running toward me with a slime right behind them. They ran by instead of staying to fight with me, and my healer was on the other side of frogger and out of range. So I walked backward THROUGH frogger, avoiding every one of them, until I reached the other side where the players had run (well, the two who didn't die on frogger).

It was kinda epic, seeing as 2-4 people die EVERY time we go through it and I managed to walk through it backward with a slime on me and not get hit once :-P It's just so easy, I don't know how people die. Must be lag?

Pet AOE damage reduction totally works, we've set hunter pets there to block the lanes before, unless they have some sort of high nature resist.

I absolutely love it when Paladins bubble right through it and people think that its safe to follow them and get owned. XD

The AoE jump will still hit you when a paladin bubbles!

My old main tank when taking first timers there ALWAYS says follow me im bubbling. Gets em every time!

The most fun is rezzing people in the path of another set of slimes.

"Ok, I'm rezzing now, ************ WTF! DEAD AGAIN?!"

When it was a 40 raid, all of the people in Naxx didn't suck enough to get caught in the slimes unless it was for massive lulz.

Its not suckage, its simple laggage.

Think about it - the slimes are not moving fast, there's a big space between them - there's only four ways you can buy it.

1) Lag - you gave the slime plenty of space but the server didn't acknowledge it and so you got blown up.

2) AOE - you were fine but someone else wasn't and you got hit by shrapnel.

3) Intentional - you were messing around (or experimenting to see total damage) and things didn't work out.

4) Accident - you weren't paying attention - you had autorun on and started typing a response or got distracted by RL or whatever.

There is no difficulty to this, there's no need for leet timing, special jumps, getting up a head of steam or anything else - anyone claiming suckage is showing a total lack of knowledge of game mechanics and reality since anyone who truly lacks the hand/eye cordination and timing to make it through would never have survived to see 80.

As a shadow priest, I can Disperse for the 90% damage reduction, run through, and take a slime or two out for the rest of the raid.

I'll try and remember to check the combat log next time I do it.

So, to make it clear: People suck because they die to something they possibly cannot influence at all, because sometimes the slimes move at different place than they look like due to server lag?

k.


Oh, and my style? Poor Crashin' Trashin' Racer has to take a bullet for me, it is quite effective at killing the slimes and making way. :)

EDIT: Also, I've found that it is effective way of dodging the Froggers, when after Patchy dies, you go face the slimes, hit Sprint, close your eyes and push autorun. Made it through 6 times so far(Probably not anymore since I said it out loud ;_;)

Obviously as anyone with half a brain knows this isn't a skill issue - for someone who claims to be so smart you sure are pretty dumb.



Bears have no parry, block and some of the other mitigation options that other tanks have - we need to have gobs of health. Besides, any half decent warrior wont be far behind that - my brother's warrior had around 36-37k health for that same raid.



That's what the guy who supposedly knows everything about the game and has a 2k+ arena rating claims.

Last night in 25man I was running through the slimes and one of our healers was standing well away from the slimes. I ran through stood in front of him, in the path of a slime and started dancing. He laughed and I moved out of the path of the slime. For some reason couple slimes later one exploded and he was killed, his corpse was probably 5 feet or more from the slime and should have been out of range but for some reason he was magically killed by it.

LOL I ended up pugging with a naxx group to do Gulth one fateful evening. After hearing the horror stories over my guild vent about frogger (on some runs in the begining up to 30% deaths on frogger), I was terrified. This was my first time into naxx and had already kinda fibbed a little about my experience in there.

When the night was all over, i had only died to frogger once due to a lag spike or splash damage. Swear to god that some people still never made it through a single time, and they had been running naxx for months.

Frogger is not difficult, you just need to pay attention.

More data - did frogger again tonight on N25 - hit three slimes intentionally while Patch loot was distributed - damage was consistantly 30k when actual and resisted damage were added together.
