Marks Convention
Kill order, fastest to slowest: ☠ → ✕ → ■ → ☾ → ▲ → ◆
On burn pulls, kill in that order. On CC pulls, the CC marks (Square, Moon, Triangle, Diamond) double as their CC type — the mob doesn't get killed until later in the order, after the CC drops or it's safe to focus.
The 8 Marks — Roles & Responsible Players
☠
Skull — Kill 1 (priority). The most dangerous mob in the pack: silencer, healer, or high-damage caster.
Tanked by Havitz (or whichever tank holds the pack)
✕
Cross / X — Kill 2. Second priority — usually the secondary caster or a high-threat melee.
Same tank as Skull (cleave)
■
Square — Sheep target (Polymorph) / Kill 3. Mage CC. Re-sheep on a 4-second timer.
Mafe (primary) / Kandin (backup)
☾
Moon — Sleep / Hibernate target / Kill 4. Druid Hibernate (beasts/dragonkin only) — falls to Mage 2 if no valid hibernate target.
Outis Hibernate (beasts only); otherwise Kandin 2nd Sheep
▲
Triangle — Trap target / Kill 5. Hunter Freezing Trap (humanoids/beasts).
Bandet (primary) / Dolmar (backup)
◆
Diamond — Banish or Fear target / Kill 6. Banish for elementals/demons; Seduction or Fear for humanoids.
Glad Banish/Fear; Meta backup; Gond third
★
Star — MT target. The mob the main tank holds and faces away from the raid. Often a non-CC'able mob (Hate-Screamer, Mechanical, etc.).
Havitz on Star
●
Circle — OT target. Off-tank pickup — adds, second tank target, or backup melee target.
Gayboi on Circle
CC Toolkit by Class — Our Roster
| CC | Player | Targets | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polymorph (Sheep) | Mafe + Kandin | Humanoids, Beasts, Critters | 50s base, breaks on damage. Re-sheep before it expires. |
| Banish | Glad + Meta + Gond | Demons, Elementals | 30s, can be re-applied. Banished target takes no damage AND deals none. |
| Seduction (Succubus) | Glad/Meta/Gond with Succubus pet | Humanoids only | Channeled by the Succubus, breaks on damage. |
| Fear (Warlock) | Glad/Meta/Gond | Humanoids, Beasts | Curse of Tongues + Fear used carefully — feared mobs run, can pull more. |
| Sap | Jays dumbass | Humanoids only | Out-of-combat only. Used to remove a single mob from the opening pack. |
| Freezing Trap | Bandet + Dolmar | Humanoids, Beasts | Misdirect + Freezing Trap pre-pull is the cleanest opening CC. |
| Hibernate | Outis (caster form) | Beasts, Dragonkin only | 40s, breaks on damage. Boomkin form must drop to caster to cast it. |
| Repentance | Grimmy | Humanoids, Undead, Dragonkin | 1-min CD, 6s duration. Useful as emergency CC. |
| Shackle Undead | Jd + Kali | Undead only | Most TBC raid mobs aren't undead — niche. |
| Hammer of Justice | Grimmy | All mob types | 6s stun, 1-min CD. Not a long-term CC, but interrupt + emergency lock. |
Marking & Targeting Macros
Raid Leader Mark Macros (Havitz)
Bind one for each mark. Target the mob, hit the bind, mark applied.
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8) -- Skull
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 7) -- Cross
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 6) -- Square
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 5) -- Moon
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 4) -- Triangle
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 3) -- Diamond
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 1) -- Star
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 2) -- Circle
CC /assist Macros
Each CC caller binds one of these to assist the raid leader and immediately CC the assigned mark.
#showtooltip Polymorph
/assist Havitz
/cast [target=focus, exists] Polymorph; Polymorph
# Better — set focus to the Square-marked mob then re-sheep:
#showtooltip Polymorph
/cast [target=focus, exists, harm] Polymorph
# (Set focus once at pull start by targeting Square + /focus)
Universal Target-of-Skull Macro
For DPS — always assist the kill target without needing to retarget. Bind on a hotkey.
/target [@raid1target]
# Or if Havitz is raid leader:
/assist Havitz
Focus-frame setup. All CC callers should set the target to focus once the mark is applied (`/focus`), then bind their CC to
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph. This way they keep their main target on the Skull for DPS contributions while re-CCing on a hotkey.
Trash Healing Assignments
Trash damage is a mix of melee tank damage + sporadic raid AoE from the dangerous casters. The healing model is the boss model lite — keep tanks topped, react to spike AoE, conserve mana.
Default Trash Healing Lineup
| Role | Healers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MT Healer (Havitz) | Morg primary; Littlemoon 3-stack Lifebloom + Rejuv layer | The HoT layer covers gaps when Morg is moving / drinking. Trash tank damage is steady — Holy Light spam + HoTs is enough. |
| OT Healer (Gayboi on adds) | Crpc Earth Shield + Chain Heal cluster | Earth Shield procs on Gayboi as adds smack him; Chain Heal blankets the melee group around him. |
| Raid Heals (AoE damage from priests/casters) | Jd + Kali CoH/PoM; Jerzee Chain Heal cluster | Reactive — Hate-Screamer Sonic Scream, Astromancer Fireball Volley, etc. Priests are the AoE healing kings; CoH is a 6s smart-heal that's basically free between pulls. |
| Mana Maintenance | Crpc + Jerzee Mana Spring Totem in caster groups; healers drink between pulls | Trash is run-back-able if the raid wipes; conserve mana for 4+ packs in a row. |
Per-Pack Healer Adjustments
Hate-Screamer pulls (SSC)
30-yard AoE silence + heavy Sonic Scream raid AoE. Healers can be silenced — pre-stack HoTs and pre-shield before the silence.
- Jd Renew + PoM rolling on tanks before pull
- Littlemoon Lifebloom 3-stack + Rejuv on Havitz pre-engage
- Crpc Earth Shield on Havitz
- Kali stays back from 30-yard silence radius if possible — heal from outside the cone
Coilfang Frenzied (SSC) — fear adds
AoE fear scatters melee. Tremor Totem from Spoofy covers; healers should expect chaos.
- Jd/Kali Fear Ward on Havitz pre-pull (TBC Anniversary universal)
- Littlemoon Rejuv blanket on melee — HoTs tick through fear
- Jerzee Chain Heal once melee return from fear
Astromancer packs (TK) — Fireball Volley AoE
Heavy raid-wide fire damage if not killed/sheeped fast. Pre-heal before the volley lands.
- Jd + Kali Prayer of Healing on the cluster pre-volley
- Crpc + Jerzee Chain Heal cluster
- Littlemoon Wild-style Rejuv blanket on the group
Phoenix-Hawk packs (TK) — Mana Burn
Mana Burn drains casters and healers. Kill priority + spread casters out.
- Healers spread to 10yd minimum so Mana Burn doesn't AoE-drain
- Morg + Jd/Kali Mana Tide rotation if mana drained heavily (Crpc/Jerzee)
- Outis Innervate on Morg or Jd if mana-critical mid-pack
Crystalcore room (TK) — mechanical pulls
No CC works on mechanicals. Tanks take all of it; raid takes minor splash.
- Morg + Littlemoon on tank — high sustained damage from Devastators
- Crpc Earth Shield on Havitz
- Other healers conserve — minimal raid AoE
Pre-Kael gauntlet (TK) — heaviest trash in the raid
Sister of Torment fears + Anti-Magic Snare silences. Multiple healers will be silenced or feared at once.
- Jd + Kali Fear Ward on tank + key DPS
- Littlemoon HoTs blanket pre-pull (HoTs continue ticking through silence)
- Crpc Tremor Totem in melee
- Drink between every pack — this gauntlet can take 10+ minutes to clear
Healer mana between packs. SSC and TK trash is mana-intensive. Standard practice: 30s drink-break after every 2 pulls. Jd Shadowfiend on cooldown; Crpc/Jerzee Mana Tide Totem rotation; Outis Innervate as a third option for emergencies.
SSC Trash & Pulls
Priority Mobs — Always Skull
- Coilfang Hate-Screamer: 30-yard AoE silence (Sonic Scream) + heavy raid damage. NOT crowd-controllable. Star-marked, tanked by Havitz, killed FIRST as Skull. The most dangerous mob in early SSC trash.
- Coilfang Priestess: casts Heal on other mobs. Skull / X. Interrupt every cast (rotate kicks).
- Serpentshrine Lurker: Poison Bolt Volley raid damage. Banishable (it's an elemental). Diamond — leave Banished until rest of pack is dead.
- Coilfang Frenzied: AoE fear. Tank with Tremor Totem nearby (Spoofy); priority kill.
Pull Patterns
Trash to Hydross — bridge mobs
3-5 Naga Caster + Melee mixed packs along the bridge.
☠ Hate-Screamer (priority kill, no CC)
✕ Caster (Coilfang Sorceress)
■ Mafe Sheep on extra caster
▲ Bandet Trap on melee
Hydross → Lurker corridor
Coilfang Frenzied murlocs (fear AoE) + Hydromancer Thespia mini-boss before Lurker. Run through fear-ward / tremor totem windows.
☠ Frenzied murloc (priority — fear)
✕ Coilfang priestess (heal)
◆ Serpentshrine Lurker → Glad Banish (elemental)
Pre-Karathress packs
Underbog Lurker patrols + naga groups (Coilfang Striders + casters). Strider casts AoE fear in melee — pull at range.
☠ Hate-Screamer / caster
✕ Mender (heal)
■ Mafe Sheep extra caster
☾ Kandin Sheep #2
▲ Bandet Trap melee
◆ Glad Banish if elemental in pack
Pre-Vashj packs (the gauntlet)
Heavy naga + Serpentguard packs. Lots of casters. Multiple sheep + traps + banishes per pack.
☠ Hate-Screamer FIRST
✕ Priestess / healer
■ Sheep caster #1
☾ Sheep caster #2
▲ Trap melee
◆ Banish / Fear
★ Tank target
● OT target
SSC trash linked to bosses. All trash respawns on a 2-hour timer until you kill the linked boss. If you wipe and the boss is dead, that boss's trash won't respawn. Plan re-clears around boss kills, not raid time.
TK Trash & Pulls
Priority Mobs
- Bloodwarder Vindicator: humanoid paladin — casts Flash of Light to heal allies. Skull or X (priority kill). Sheepable as backup. If 2+ in a pack, sheep one and burn the other.
- Astromancer / Astromancer Lord: caster — Fireball Volley deals massive raid damage. Skull-priority OR sheeped. Always one of the first marks.
- Bloodwarder Mender: healer (Flash of Light). Kill or interrupt every cast.
- Phoenix-Hawk: beast — Mana Burn (drains casters/healers) + Dive (gap-close). Kill order; Outis Hibernate works (beast type).
- Star Scryer: casts Domination (Mind Control) + Arcane Blast (knockback). Watch for knockback pulling adjacent packs. Low kill priority but mind-control management matters.
- Crystalcore Devastator: mechanical — Knockback ability can pull extra packs. Position carefully. Not crowd-controllable.
- Crystalcore Mechanic: mechanical — heals other mechanicals via Recharge. Skull priority in any pack containing it.
- Tempest-Smith: Power Up buff on other mobs. Priority kill.
Pull Patterns
Front trash (Tempest Keep entry)
Mixed Bloodwarder + Astromancer packs. Multiple casters per pack.
☠ Astromancer (Fireball Volley)
✕ Bloodwarder Vindicator (Flash of Light)
■ Mafe Sheep extra Astromancer
☾ Kandin Sheep extra Vindicator
▲ Bandet Trap melee
Pre-Al'ar — Phoenix-Hawk packs
Phoenix-Hawks + Bloodwarders. Hawks Dive + Mana Burn. Group up for Dive knockback.
☠ Bloodwarder Mender (heal)
✕ Phoenix-Hawk
☾ Outis Hibernate Phoenix-Hawk #2
■ Mafe Sheep Bloodwarder
★ Tank target (Vindicator main)
Void Reaver room — Crystalcore
Mechanicals only. No CC works on most of them. Pure tank-and-spank with kill priorities.
☠ Crystalcore Mechanic (heals)
✕ Tempest-Smith (Power Up)
★ Crystalcore Devastator (tank — careful with Knockback positioning)
Pre-Solarian — Astromancer packs
Mostly casters. Multi-sheep + interrupt rotation.
☠ Astromancer Lord
✕ Astromancer #2
■ Mafe Sheep #3
☾ Kandin Sheep #4
Pre-Kael'thas approach
Sister of Torment + Anti-Magic Snares + various elites. The hardest trash in TK. Banishes shine here — Sister of Torment is a demon type.
☠ Anti-Magic Snare (silence aura — kill fast)
✕ Sister of Torment (demon — fear, life drain)
◆ Glad Banish 2nd Sister (demon)
■ Mafe Sheep humanoid extras
▲ Bandet Trap melee adds
Star Scryer Mind Control note. When a Star Scryer's Domination lands on a raider, the raider becomes a temporary enemy. Jd + Kali Dispel Magic cleans it up; Felhunters from Glad/Meta/Gond Devour Magic also works. Don't kill a mind-controlled raider — dispel them.
Knockback pull awareness. Bloodwarder Vindicators and Crystalcore Devastators have knockback abilities. Position the tank so knockbacks don't push raiders into adjacent packs. Havitz face the pack away from unpulled trash.
