Thaddius and lag.
“Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!!!” - words most often seen typed into gchat during a Naxx raid.
Tuesday night my guild did Naxx (in under 3 hours, actually…pretty decent, no wipes) and we STARTED with Thaddius. Why?
Because he lags like a MOTHERFUCKER. My roomie, who is on a totally different server (and plays Alliance) has the same complaint about Thad, and Naxx in general. But the thing is, the later in the evening you hit up Thadd, the WORSE the lag is. And you REALLY don’t want to be lagging on a fight that is so dependent on movement.
It’s laggy as hell. WTF, Blizz? As a caster it’s really annoying to not know if shit has been cast. I mean, I know by now how long my spells take to cast, so I can do a semi-decent rotation without even looking at the screen, but still…need to watch those debuffs on Thadd! Even if you DO watch them, you might end up dying on the first rotation…just like myself, and two other lagalicious raiders.
I need to share with you the most awesome graphic our MT put into gchat:

If you’re using DeadlyBossMods or something else that gives raid warnings about polarity shifts, be careful on this fight if you’re having any lag, and make sure you double check your debuffs and where you are standing before moving.
