You must know two things about the clouds, first particle density should be maxed, second the clouds have a larger range then there actual size.
My 10man group just reached Yogg for the first time on Sunday, and it was a 3 hour long wipe-fest on phase 1. Tonight, a similar wipe-fest was occurring though we did achieve phase 2 twice out of around 40 attempts.
Our main problem was, of course, people hitting clouds. Now, as a melee, I didn't find it difficult at all to move away from them. The cloud near Sara is easy to avoid and getting out of range for the add explosions wasn't hard either: I just looked for the hole and ran through it to get out.
The problem was our ranged dps and healers. It seemed like every time I turned around, someone had hit a cloud and soon enough we were overrun. Is there a trick to learning to avoid the clouds or does it just take loads of practice?
It has been a very frustrating 2 nights for me and my team, so any help with phase 1 would be greatly appreciated.
You must know two things about the clouds, first particle density should be maxed, second the clouds have a larger range then there actual size.
We found it best to make sure to tell ranged/healers that they had to stay in a group and they had to stay on the south side of the room and that they had to stay on the edge of the water. If a cloud comes on that line then they move back out and then back in after that cloud passes. Every once in awhile there's a bad cloud conjunction and you have to run around for a bit (far out and wait and then back in), but overall that's the strategy that we've found works well.
PS:we got 2 10 man teams at yogg now.
We got our guild-first 10-man Yogg-Saron kill, partially in thanks to the awesome video and strats posted on this thread. I would like to point out something that seems to have worked for us:
Several posters advise against sending a healer down into the Brain Room. We wiped multiple times trying different things - sending down 4 melee DPS; sending down 3 melee DPS instead of 4 to minimize the heals needed; sending down 3 melee DPS plus a hybrid; sending down some melee and a ranged and a hybrid - but the strategy that got us to Phase 3 twice was 3 melee, 1 healer in the Brain Room.
All our melee are normally 3k+ on boss fights, so that helped a lot. I assigned portals to all four people going down and would call out on vent before the portals came up so that everyone could be positioned before they went in. We found that the portals sometimes spawned N-S-E-W, but would sometimes be more in front of a Keeper so I made a macro to remind people which portal was theirs:
Run RIGHT - Melee 1 - West/Freya
Run LEFT - Melee 2 - East/Etc.
That way all the Brain Room people would be coordinated and not "steal" portals from one another, and we could basically zone in simultaneously.
There's not a lot of healing that needs to be done in the Brain Room, but that allowed for our melee to go nuts DPS'ing down the tentacles and not worry at all about their health. After they go to the brain, I (as the healer down there) would pop out while they dps'ed, to help the other healers cleanse and heal in the Tentacle Room.
I don't think I can stress enough how important the Brain Room team is. Get in, get through it fast, and DPS down that brain. That is truly the strategy key to the whole fight.
well our teams have a problem in phase 2 wen the portal group go inside they always move slow very slow and we just cant figure it wy
eny ideas ?
great vidio
So as a healer I don't really need to follow any melees into yogg's brain in p2 do i?
And in p1 i just need to mind my positioning to not stand on top of a cloud?
also in p2 i just need to watch for the green eye beam.
in p3 i can just face away from yogg and just heal that way right?
tonight is going to be first time i'll be doing the last boss xD
p1 as a healer, just make sure you avoid clouds and keep everyone alive, shadow bolts will go off occasionally and the raid will take damage, likewise the tank will take a lot of damage because he has to eat the explosion of the immortal's death.
p2 someone who can offheal along with dps is probably best to take the portal, so generally no you won't go into the brain, one thing though is during phase 2, you need to avoid green beams, watch if you get brain linked, and watch out for Malady (chaining fear that causes sanity loss) and stay away from those who are Malady'd. Also keep tanks up as they'll take big hits from the crusher tentacles, and whenever the brain phase ends for those who were sent in, be ready to top them off quickly and dispel any debuffs they have on them, as the brain portals will likely open within 10 seconds of them getting back out so there isn't much time to top everyone off again.
and yes phase 3, as long as you face away from the boss, you should be free to just spam heals on everyone andmake sure no one dies, do be careful about where you stand because you want the tanks to be able to run interference on any immortals that run your way. So don't stand off to the side where a tank will have trouble picking up the adds, set up a positioning strategy for phase 3 to best utilize the brain and adds and such.
Code:Ranged DPS Tanks/Healers/Melee Yogg Saron
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Thank you for your guide......
There is no need to tank the adds on the boss anymore on 10 or 25. He is zergable by tanking the adds away from the boss and fully ignoreing them. Have been farming it for weeks like this on 10 and 25.
With zero keepers up or no?
With zero keepers and an appropriately geared raid, the fight is zergable in phase three. You should aim to bring 2 tanks and have them stack in the back. Start chaining cooldowns early and spam heal the tanks as best you can.
Mind Controlled players are usually your biggest bane, especially for players who have never done Yogg-Saron at all before.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Transmission Incentive Overhaul
FERC's ROE incentive adder policy sends the wrong signals.
to specify what steps they would take for an enhanced ROE that they would not pursue for a "normal" one.
Similar concerns arise when awarding ROE adders to address financing risks. Higher returns always will be more attractive to external investors and more successful in competition for internal capital. But that proves too much and doesn't justify routinely awarding transmission owners enhanced ROEs near the top of the range of reasonableness. While the purpose of both Section 219 and FERC's rulemaking was to encourage cost-effective transmission expansion bolstering reliability and reducing delivered power costs, higher returns will not achieve these objectives unless they are targeted at real impediments to transmission construction. There is no evidence that transmission construction has been impeded because the baseline ROEs applied to completed projects in rate base are too low, or that baseline ROEs will be insufficient to encourage new transmission investment once other risks are addressed by other incentives. Legitimate cash-flow concerns during construction can be addressed through permitting recovery of CWIP. Concerns that a project may not gain siting approval, leaving investors responsible for unrecoverable project development costs, can be addressed through abandoned plant protections. Concerns about the timeliness of rate recovery should be assuaged where formula rates are present. None of these factors justifies ladling an enhanced ROE on top of project costs.
Incentive Rates: The Road Ahead
FERC should address several questions concerning ROE incentives adders. Most fundamentally, it should delineate, through the adoption of objective incentive-ROE eligibility criteria, the risks associated with, and the performance expected from, transmission owners under commission-approved base ROEs.
ROE adders aside, customers and FERC should expect transmission companies to plan, construct, operate, and maintain their systems in accordance with applicable reliability criteria, including periodic assessments of system reliability and timely pursuit of basic system upgrades. The commission said as much in a pre-incentives regimen decision rejecting a proposed transmission incentive program that would have "unjustly reward[ed a transmission owner] for doing what it's supposed to do, i.e., to adequately maintain its facilities in a prudent, cost-effective manner." 17 Likewise, customers and FERC should expect transmission owners to follow through, without additional incentives, on prior commitments to build new transmission facilities. Such commitments may include obligations to build facilities identified as needed through regional planning processes under an RTO tariff, conditions on FERC approval of dispositions of jurisdictional assets, or obligations undertaken in satisfaction of state regulatory requirements.
Where investment is truly optional, FERC should consider carefully whether enhanced ROEs are necessary to induce it. ROE adders should be available only where optional investment involves a risk of loss that: A) goes beyond the risks reflected in the base ROE; and B) is not eliminated by other granted incentives, such as inclusion of CWIP in rate base or recovery of abandoned-plant costs. Where FERC approves an ROE adder, it should support that determination with factual findings about how the enhanced ROE will help overcome project risks and why the ROE adder was set at the specific level chosen.
FERC also should explain fully why ROE adders are

DEBKAfile returns Monday, Dec. 1!
DEBKAfile resumes publication Monday December 1, after an interruption of two-and-a-half months due to the sudden illness of its senior editor. This break in mid-stream came after we predicted that nothing would come of Iran's nuclear talks with the world powers - they were finally done for by the combined efforts of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel - or the US-led coalition versus ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Chuck Hagel's forced exit was a win for the enemy. Starting next Monday, DEBKAfile will be back to exclusively develop and analyze these and other events, such as the surge of violence in Jerusalem. And DEBKA Weekly (for subscribers) and DEBKA Review resume publication in January. DEBKA publications, their editor and staff, are deeply grateful to the thousands of well-wishers who continue to mail us from all over the world with messages of hope for a speedy recovery and return to publication. We are greatly encouraged by your support. Thank you!

"We're going to build the kind of coalition that allows us to lead, but also isn't entirely dependent on what we do," said President Barack Obama at a fundraiser in Baltimore Friday, Sept. 12. That was exactly the kind of ambiguous comment which the governments America is wooing to join the coalition find so off-putting. And so, US Gen. John Allen, appointed Friday, Sept 12, to lead the coalition, learned that 10 Arab and Muslim leaders were just as equivocal when Secretary of State John Kerry's asked them for combat troops.More>

The Netanyahu government is caught in the crossfire of two conflicts: Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh threatens to revive rocket fire on Sept. 25, the first day of the Jewish New Year Festival, unless the Gaza blockade is lifted by then. This would sorely embarrass Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who defended the ceasefire by maintaining that Hamas would never shoot another rocket after enduring 50 days of relentless Israeli assaults. Netanyahu and Ya'alon have also launched the highly-charged process of choosing the next IDF chief of staff.
Hizballah's sophisticated hi-tech optical fiber communications network links its command centers, units, rocket launchers, senior officials' homes and intelligence branches. Those communications are also ciphered and hard to intercept and decode. Planting an eavesdropping device sophisticated enough to interface with this network is risky and calls for high technological resources and expertise. Iranian experts, determined to hunt down and dissect one such spying device were thwarted Friday, Sept. 5, when their prize self-destructed and killed a Hizballah operative.
Pressed to do something about the brutal Islamic State, US President Barack Obama threw together a mix of US air strikes, strengthening moderate Syrian rebel groups and enlisting friendly regional governments, at the NATO summit which ended Friday, Sept. 5 in Wales. A "core coalition" of nine governments was assembled, their leaders told that no boots on the ground were needed. debkafile: This recipe lacked the vital ingredient for the fight "to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL": Military muscle capable of driving IS from the 144,000 sq, km of seized land.
At least 18 foreign ISIS fighters, including Americans and Europeans, were killed in a Syrian air raid Thursday, Sept. 4, over their Raqqa HQ. A second Syrian air raid killed or injured another group of high ISIS officers at Abu Kamal near the Iraqi border. A day earlier, US jets struck an IS base in the northern Iraqi town of Tal Afar, killing its commander, Abu Hajar Al-Sufi, and two top lieutenants of ISIS chief Abu Baker Al-Baghdadi. All these actions owed their success to deepening US-Iranian military and intelligence cooperation. Is this Obama's unadmitted strategy?

The American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) January Transit Savings Report shows that individuals who ride public transportation instead of driving can save, on average, more than $829 this month, and $9,953 annually. The savings are based on the cost of commuting by public transportation compared to the cost of owning and driving a vehicle which includes the Jan. 16, 2014 average national gas price and the national unreserved monthly parking rate. APTA releases this monthly Transit Savings Report to examine how an individual in a two-person household can save money by taking public transportation and living with one less car.The national average for a monthly unreserved parking space in a downtown business district is $166.26, according to the 2012 Colliers International Parking Rate Study. Over the course of a year, parking costs for a vehicle can amount to an average of $1,995.

I found Healing Rain to be very effective in 5mans. Sometimes you gotta tell the range to stand in it.
When It comes to heroic healing dungeon healing there is one preaty big point that the above posts tend to miss or gloss over, for lack of a better analogy, shaman go forth and shaman. Simply put, shaman are the most "offensive" healers in wow, you should use all tools you have, many often overlook the fact the best heals are the ones you never have to cast.
Wind Shear. It is amazing use it a lot. Interrupting a range to bring it to the tank cuts down damage significantly, a tank going to round up a loose mob often puts his back to the group, this is very bad. Also when you have little damage coming in watch a burn target and help on interrupts.
Grounding Totem: It gets no love these days but if Wind shear is on CD grounding can eat the bad spell, saving a lot of damage.
Hex/Bind Elements: don't forget that these spells interrupt casts as well, even if the CC will break again in a few moments or instantly, it still stops the cast.
Crowd Control:
Now with Hex and Bind Elements we are one of the best CC classes in the game. While healing you may not be the main CC'er look what you can do and who is doing what kind of other CC's and what the cast times cool downs and durations are. When there is a lot going on and the dps is "trying" to get of the fire they may not notice that a CC broke, rather than let Whirlwindy the Big Axe Ogre go have a mage sandwich, Hex it. If you see a CC about to break and no "re-sheep" is incoming Hex/bind it.
Yeah that's right dps, some mobs out there go BOOM after a set amount of time or lock people in bubble shields, in cases where no one needs instant healing help dps. Think about it whats worse on your mana, using a Healing surge to top someone off quick and helping the dps beat a damage timer, or using healing wave pre-blast to top someone up only then have an aoe rock the party a few moments latter. Even a simple set it and forget it flame shock can and does help.
While used very little, when a mob has a buff that can be purged 9/10 times you will be far better off purging than casting anything else. Purge when it can be used is a huge damage reduction.
This list does go on, Frost Shock, Earth Shock, ect.
One final thought, in many forum threads and even in this one, you find people saying "it's the dps's job to reduce incomming damage" well it's yours as well. Be a team player help the dps and the tank do their jobs, and yours will be much easier.
I found Healing Rain to be very effective in 5mans. Sometimes you gotta tell the range to stand in it.
Also, if you having mana troubles I highly recommend Corrupted Egg Shell. Combined with Mana Tide Totem every 2 minutes, this trinket has solved my mana problems while still trying to collect more spirit/crit in my gear. This also helps with the switch from Glyph of Water Shield to Glyph of Earthliving Weapon. Hope this helps.
Started just healing this expantion around and raid healing for the first time ever. Just got into BoT with guild and was given a heal assignment of healing the War main tank (Halfus) and group heals when i can. From what i have been told healers are to be doing 9k Hps. I was having a hard time even getting 8k and when i was pulling 8k was pretty much out of mana by the time first dragon is down. I done what has been said on here. Keep ES on tank with Rip. HW with GHW needed with a chain heal from time to time on a meele dps after my 2nd healing wave with Tidal Waves ( riptide is almost always on cd for 2 sec right after the 2nd heal).
I use to have alot of haste and from what ppl have told me is to get crit. It seems that is up in the air with alot of ppl. I see alot of ppl going haste others crit. But none the less i am having a hard time pulling anything near 9k hps with doing what i have said above without blowing mana
I don't really have any advice on your specific situation (crit does seem like it would do you some good, mana-wise - but I don't play a resto sham).
One thing I stress in my heroics: Crowd Control is our friend! I don't know how other classes heal, but I hate when the group wants me to exert myself and eat through mana. They don't loose any DPS (as they should only focus on one target ANYWAY) and you can keep your mana bar not only high, but filled if Telluric Currents permits. Allowing fast transition into the next pull.
As for gear and gem I have been working to Crit. Haste was a Wrath stat because with the already bloated numbers you never had to worry over mana. But crit/spirit is a big help right now. Haste will have its moment, I'm sure, but IMO not at the time.
Still in the process of gearing my Resto Sham for raids (ilvl 345), but there is one area of healing that I am finding extremely difficult as a Resto Sham - in 5 mans when everyone is spread out and taking fairly significant damage. Healing rain is a no-go, chain heal doesn't have enough HPS and wont hit everyone, Riptide has a significant CD, HW doesnt heal enough. Only options seems to be GHW and HS, but I oom in just 12 GHW casts at full mana. I not talking about party members taking unnecessary damage that could be avoided, I'm referencing fights like the 2nd to last and last boss of Tol'vir, worm in Stonecore, etc. These are fights that require movement and deal damage to all party members. I find what happens is if I get behind keeping everyone topped off, I cannot recover without ooming in 10-15 seconds or not being able to at all. I feel like when all 5 members are taking damage, Blizz expects us to use HR/CH to get them back up. But when those aren't feasible, I oom extremely quickly, or simply dont have enough HPS to get everyone back up just using single cast spells. I feel other heals can make up with this with hots and shields, but I am unsure of how to prevail as a Resto Sham. I can't even spare a GCD to refresh water shield or even dispell in these situations. Seems like fights where I CAN use HR on the entire group = easy mode, otherwise it is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to keep everyone up. This isn't simply triage, to me it feels like shamans are lacking something in this in-between area.
tl;dr: How to heal 5 mans when everyone is spread out and taking fairly significant damage as a Resto Sham? Seems like other healers have enough hots/shields to recover, but we have one 6 sec cd targeted HoT and Spiritwalkers grace : /

"I've been thinking Hobbes..." "On a weekend" "Well it wasn't on purpose" -C&H
If theres a druid in the group they shouldnt mind popping innervate if you ask. Also, ive learned that getting better gear helps. At first i thought some bosses were way too difficult to heal but as i got better gear and other people got better healing got easier. Certain bosses are still tough, but currently with an ilvl of 357, its wierd thinking some of those bosses were hard before
I really like the idea of stacking more haste to get a "free" HW. I am just hesitant of re arranging my gear because I feel like my heals are solid right now but I do run into some mana issues.
Right now I am at the soft Haste cap and started stacking crit and a little mastery. I am roughly at 2k spirit.
For anybody who has been stacking haste and trying to spam HW, do you feel it has improved your mana efficiency? Also, many ppl have seemed to be talking up healing surge while I really like the combo of unleash elements and a GHW, actually GHW is my primary heal.
Should I change GHW with HS? Or should i unleash the elements more with riptide?
Also with Mana Tide totem, the totem has a 3 min cooldown while my trinkets (that proc spirit) have a 2 min CD. To benefit the raid I would like to pop my mana tide first but to benefit myself i would prefer popping my trinkets first since they are on a 2 min CD. Popping Mana Tide earlier seems for some of the ticks to consume an already full mana bar so I am in debate in what to pop first, does anybody else run into this issue?
I stopped really prioritizing haste once I got to 916 rating (for the extra tick on ELW, with WoA totem) and focused on getting my crit up instead. I don't avoid haste but I'm not gemming for it or reforging into it. My crit is around 25% with Kings and might now, and I found that to be the best boost to my mana efficiency. I'm still not sold on our mastery, I've been mostly reforging it into crit or haste, depending on what's already on the piece. Now my gear isn't AMAZING, but I'm at 347 item level and I generally finish fights in most heroics with about 60-70% mana. Raids are a different story. I've limited experience in cata raid healing, but I spent a couple hours wiping in Blackwing Descent with a pug, with all 3 heals pumping 14k+ hps and still losing ppl to parasites. I was able to keep that up, chaining mana cooldowns...for about 3 minutes before I was completely wiped out. I feel that was the group executing tactics incorrectly more than a healer issue (I can't imagine a group taking damage in excess of 42k dps is actually executing properly) and I can't see ever getting geared enough to cover that kind of damage for an entire 10 minute boss fight.
You're right Musclebound, it was the group executing the tactics wrong. The good thing with the Magmaw encounter, though, is you can get your entire mana bar back to full from completely empty during the spike phase where he takes more dmg. During the body fight, it's not that healing intensive if people do it correctly and you'll generally go through about 3/4ths your mana bar, but you can make up for it during the spike phase :-) Telluric Currents while being hit capped from the spirit talent in the elemental tree is awesome.
Not too sure if it still too early in the game to have these ..but here is hoping for the best.
I am looking for some good round numbers to stop stacking stats. If I could get a list of these it would be great.
Looking for
Spell power
Or any other useful stat that may help me in 5 mans and raids and were I will need the hit a cap for them.
I must say, I've not experienced trouble healing at all with my shaman. I find using ES on tank with a Riptide ticking and then using HW as it goes very effective. And Chain Heal needs some lovin'! It's great for healing up your tanks and melee when theres AOE going on.
- Yeah sure, throw a Healing Surge on those who need a quick heal or use GHW if you've got tidal waves up.
Going oom often? I'm not THAT good geared but as far as I can remember, I only oom on one single heroic boss fight. That being third boss in Grim Batol, Drahga Shadowburner. Which, with a tank and melee who doesn't know what bad stuff on the ground is.. pretty intense so to say.
I currently don't have very much mana problems unless I'm forced to throw down some GHW spammage without casting flameshock for the focused insight talent.
I find that using unleash elements on a dps for the slight heals and then using the 20% direct heal increase to do a pretty large healing wave works nice.
In addition, I noticed that I like to transition between casting unleash elements - healing and then flameshock - healing wave/GHW or even unleash elements-flameshock-GHW for more efficient heals.
As for gearing and gemming, i dont even touch crit, i lean on int/spirit/haste/mastery
mastery increases your healing the lower your target's HP is.
So far, I've had an "Oh shit" moment, and with the help of mastery, FS and UE, i did a FAT 121k GHW.
Spirit for the obvious mana regen, but also, if you want a dps offspec, your resto gear is also your dps gear, i currently do around 12k average dps in my healing gear.
haste, i dont really know why i seem to prefer haste to crit but it seems that haste makes a difference when you can spam healing wave on your tank faster with the added riptide buff and with healing wave being almost being a 0 mana used spell, it might help.
i totally almsot forgot about healing rain, i love this spell. I dont use it often because it seems to eat a chunk of my mana and alot of the times the dps and tank move around way too much for it to be of any efficiency but in fights like valiona and whatnot, its pretty valuable.
im not an expert on shaman healing but this is what ive experienced thus far.
Recently started raiding and one golden rule I have found is not to panic about people on low hp unless they are in immediate danger. There are very very few fights that require Greater Healing Wave. I generally steer clear of this unless it is coupled with Unleash Life, or it is going to be used as a tank-saver coupled with Nature's Swiftness.
For those unavoidable AoE pulse fights (such as the last phase on many encounters such as Ascendant Council) where people aren't all stacked up together, I believe that keeping Riptide on as many people as possible and using Healing Surge is the most viable option. Mastery is a very helpful stat here, hence why I have reforged into it - most of the fights that cause wipes involve heavy raid-wide damage and the ability to increase your healing output as damage output also increases is a very handy tool. I would highly recommend Mastery rating to anyone who currently dislikes it and furthermore take into consideration that in patch 4.1 Mastery will apply to all heals, and not just direct heals/Healing Rain.
I see an (even brighter than it already is) future ahead for restorations shamans.
I myself have been running into some issues healing in 5 mans now in Cata. What I see my self have issues with the most are things like the very first pull in Heroic Halls of Origination, and Stonecore if one of the NPC's transforms into the elemental that does the whirlwind with the AoE damage.
What I see happening on say Halls is the damage to melee is huge, I've play with a pally that is ilvl 358 and has 151k Health and it seems like with in 3 seconds of fighting the group his health is critically low and I have to bust off healing surges to prevent him from dying. Alot of the times between those two heroic pulls I find myself going OOM, i'm not sure if its maybe i'm getting unlucky and getting alot of melee in the group or what.
I've tried a couple things like reforging, enchants, glyphs, talents etc...
Right now I just want to get myself confident in 5mans heroics again.
Here is my character, I did some changes as far as forging and stuff goes so not sure if its updated or not by the time anyone see's this.
Tip on elementals:
You can chain-cast Bind Elemental to prevent a LOT of damage (really goes well against casters). This might actually allow you to prevent more damage than you could possibly heal!
Also, if those guys transform, it's your group's fault, not yours. The entire IDEA of those guys is to not let them transform.

This is in addition to the usual stuff - somebody should be marking, targets need to be prioritized correctly, and CC should be used as necessary to avoid having multiple high-damage mobs up at the same time.

Amirisu released their fourth issue last week, which highlights Brooklyn Tweed as the magazine's featured brand. We had a lot of fun working with Amirisu, contributing both design and written content throughout the issue. If you aren't familiar with this online publication, it is the passion project of a Tokyo-based knitting/editing duo whose shared goal is furthering the online knitting culture in Japan. The magazine's content is presented in both Japanese and English.
Last Fall, editor Meri Tanaka interviewed me about US-yarn production and my history as a designer. Within the article I talk a bit about how I got my start developing and manufacturing yarns, as well as my start as a knitter. See pages 50-57 for the full article (excerpts shown below).
I also contributed a short written piece for the magazine entitled "Elizabeth For Beginners". Though Elizabeth Zimmermann is a national icon to us American knitters, Amirisu informed me that her work is not well-known in Japan and requested I contribute a piece that would act as a sort of gateway to EZ's work. Within the article I give a very brief version of Elizabeth's story and suggest some of her most beloved patterns for folks who are just discovering her work (pages 68-71).
Last but not least – patterns and yarn! Brooklyn Tweed's own Michele Wang and Leila Raabe contributed designs to the collection using BT yarns. Michele's Tsubasa Top is a fun, spring-ready pullover worked in Shelter (color Blanket Fort) with arrowhead lace panels and dolman-style cap sleeves. Leila's Preble Hat is worked in Shelter (color Snowbound) and features a woven texture pattern and twisted-stitch cable insertion. Both patterns can be downloaded directly from Amirisu (pattern info is also available on Ravelry).
A big thank you to the editors of Amirisu for featuring our work throughout the issue!

Post subject: fleet scale, fleet fire
Has anyone done an analysis of fire effectiveness and enemy diminuation comparing separate vs cobine targeting? My first impulse woudl be to seek concentration of fire and seek to cripple one enemy vessel at a time, but with some of the damage charts giving the chance to seriously reduce enemy firepower, spreading out one's shot may seem as reasonable.
Of course, there will be case-specific incidents, range dependance, overload possibilities, target desirablity based on capacity or location, but what do most of you find in general to be the desirable practice?
Does anyone have a mathmatic computation to back up their experience or theory?
I am very open to discussion on this, as I plan for introducing the game to my local club with fleet (squadron sized really, but with fleet scale) actions .

I've seen some people write about "outflanking" an enemy squadron, but unless there are other overriding tactical or strategic reasons, I don't see the point.
Let's suppose two fairly equally balanced squadrons of 3 ships apiece meet and battle it out. One squadron approaches with the idea of each ship pairing off with a single enemy ship and battling it out that way. The other player approaches with the idea of concentrating all facing firepower on one enemy ship.
If the squadron trying to pair off is unsuccessful in breaking up the enemy formation, one of his ships is going to take some massive damage. On future turns that ship will be unable to either pair off OR contribute much firepower. The other player may have damage spread across the shields of each of his ships, but they will still retain their firepower for at least one more turn.
The outcome should be obvious.
btw, I like your avatar...

I just fought a 3-3 engagement on Tuesday night, and the result were exactly what Mike describes. We were (me) Fed BCJ, CS, NCL versus the other guy's C7, D5W, F6 (an exact 255 point match). Each side started 20 hexes away from a planet (the object in contention), on opposite sides.
My opponent sent one ship (an F6) off around the planet on it's own, while sending his other two ships around the other side. I drove my entire squadron in tight formation straight at the planet until his ships were committed to their turning direction, then turned the entire squadron to attack the lone F6. Bad dice kept it from being an instant cripple, but it was trashed and out of the fight. Swinging around to engage the other ships I then destroyed the F6 with what would be off-side phasers to his other ships. The intervening planet prevented any fire from his other two ships to support the F6.
In the end, my BC was destroyed due to concentrated fire from the Klingons, but not until I had destroyed his F6 and devastated his C7 (only a few boxes left). He was left with the undamaged D5W and a wreck facing a pair of "cherry" cruisers and we called it at that point.

I can't provide you with any mathmatical computations, but I can give you some emperical information.
After 100's and 100's of Fed Comm games and 1000's of SFB games, the end result is almost always the same. Concentrate your fire!
We've played everything from 3 on 3 (evenly matched and unbalanced) to 1 or 2 large ships vs a fleet of small ships... and even some monster, all weekend long, 30 vs 30 SFB battles. Experience has taught us to keep our fleets together and to concentrate our fire.
If one or two ships break formation, they're dead. If one or two ships pull ahead, they're dead.
We don't necessarily stick everything in one hex, but we do mantain proximity in order to provide covering fire. Targets are usually selected based on opportunity. If we can concentrate all (or a significant amount) of our fire on a single target - we do. Enough damage will cause on of two results:
1) the target drops out of formation - providing you with an advantage, either numnerically or in BPV.
2) the entire fleet slows to maintain formation - giving you the initiative.
Target selection also isn't a hard, fast rule - but must be considered on a case by case basis. Quite often (especially in SFB) a slightly disadvantaged shot at an opponents only EW capable ship in a target rich environment is much more effective than a point blank shot at one of a dozen frigates.

The coments generously provided above confirmed my suspicions, even without the math.
Concentration of fire is usually the best choice in most wargames, especially naval wargaming (which is how I veiw space games).
Now, I will see if the club comes to that conlcusion on their own! Ah, the joys of a first game...
Having said that, there are certainly conditions where that might not apply. Does one really need to fire 3 ship's worth of double overloaded
photon torpedoes at the same target?
Mike clearly has the right when it comes to avatars...

Of course there are always situations...
If you've got two small frigates (OK - that was redundant
) leading a fleet of larger ships...
It might be worth it to fire 2 overloads from each of your ships at each of the frigates.
Or, if there's only one small shiup and you've got a passel of OL's then you might consider staggering your fire to prevent overkill...
If he object is to cripple / capture - you might reserve some fire...
If you're flying an Orion Raider w/ photons (or any other heavy weapon), you may elect to with hold some fire to prevent damaging valuable cargo...
and so on...

Scoutdad's ideas about holding fire to prevent excessive damage is what I do. After all, what is the sense in wasting energy and firepower on a ship that you know is going to buy the farm anyway if there are others out there that need a little shoveled their way, too?
Since I live in Lexington, South Carolina, the avatar is especially appropriate...

Sorry to make another post, but this was exactly the reason I designed the scenario, "Race Against Time," in CL36. I wanted to create a situation in which there would be a reason (or reasons) NOT to combine firepower.

I am a colonial/revolutionary historian... thus Lexington.
My three new crusiers (primed just today) will be the Lacy Lex, Saratoga, and Yorktown.
I am studying all the photos and gyides I can find to paint these. I want them to be, well, stellar. I'll post pics when I have them.
Meanwwhile, I will teach the club how to play and eventually get to do so with them myself to test my own theories on formations, fire control, group manuevres, etc. I can hardly wait.
At present, I have visions of a flying wedge for the 3-ship squadron, but I have not worked out the triangle to starboard/port steps yet. Turning the formation 60 degrees is easy enough, but a wheel is different. I'll have to experiment on my own.
Did I overlook any rule against "stacking" when using miniatures on hex boards?

The rules for play with miniatures on hex-map are identical to counters. There is no limit to ships in a hex or in adjacent hexes. The normal 3-ships
from a hex limit applies though.
Close-proximity and same-hex positioning of ships when using miniatures requires some adjusting just due to practicality.
Some groups just leave one mini and write down what grouping it represents, the two groups I play with swap out for 1" counters when things get too cluttered and swap back for minis at the first opportunity. I've taken to storing an appropriate 1" counter with each mini to facilitate this and speed game set-up.

That's 3 units firing through a single hex side. You can have an unlimited number of units in a hex and up to three can fire out of each hex side (if valid targets exist)

I've found a couple of ways to try to keep a "wedge" of 3 ships in formation during a wheel-type of turn.
One is to have different ships swap the role of lead ship. The lead ship can swing toward the outside of the wheel and become the far flanking ship. The problem with this maneuver is that during the turning action, the ships may not maintain identical facing and suffer by not being able to mass their firepower if needed.
Another way to turn a 3 ship wedge formation is to have the ship on the outside of the wheel to accelerate, the lead (middle) ship to move normally, and the ship on the interior of the wheel move to use decelerations. By doing so, this ship becomes a virtual "pivot point" and can meet its turn mode requirements without actually moving forward. Each time its turn mode is met, it can turn one hexside without moving out of its hex.
A variation on the second method is for the interior ship to do as described above, but have the lead middle ship swing outward and the outward ship use acceleration and decelerations to turn more sharply and become the middle ship.
Another consideration is how much damage each ship has taken. As the situation during a game unfolds, you'll see where a damaged ship might be able to "hide" in a 3 ship formation. Then you can use sideslips to have it shift to that position and the ship from that position into the one it vacated. This might force the enemy to plow through the other two ships in order to get to the damaged one and give you plenty of opportunity to use those ships against your opponent.
Maybe some of this will be helpful. Its always fun to try these things out. And its also interesting to see counter-tactics invented to counter anything you try.

Mike's second method of wheeling (1 accelerates, 1 normal, 1 decelerates) is what I had in mind, based upon old marching drill field skills for the three commanders (CO, XO, Ops - of all things!).
I also thought of applying Alexander's cavarly rhomboid if there are four ships - a wheel involved more of a turn, and the change of point ship in any of the four cardinal directions. I wonder how that works out on a hax map...
So much to learn when new at a game! Very exciting.
I think I will run some private experiments. I'll share my findings.

Another little trick to remember is when your squadron is making more of an extended turn moving 4 hexes during an impulse. All of the ships will not need to move 4 hexes, but to keep them equal in their fulfillment of turn modes, one (or maybe even two) ship(s) can use acceleration/deceleration to "buy" 1 hex of movement without actually moving. This gives every ship in the squadron formation the ability to turn at the same time and as soon as possible.
There are some interesting maneuvers in which a 3 ship squadron can maneuver so that all of the ships can change their positions relative to one another by the end of an impulse. I guess this could be called "Shell Game."

I don't think that splitting up is necessarily a bad thing in games in general. However, because of the the way shields work in Star Trek and are represented in SFU they don't really help anyone who wants to try something other than the stack/formation of doom.

2010 Toyota Prius – Click above for high-res image gallery Shortly after a huge earthquake shook Japan March 11th, most automakers on the island nation ceased operations. Yesterday, Toyota restarted limited production of the Prius, Lexus HS250h and CT 200h hybrids. Paul Nolasco, a spokesman for Toyota, couldn't confirm whether the automaker's supply chain had been restored or if Toyota secured other sources for scarce parts. Regardless, production is underway.

One of the ideas being floated around right now has Mark Henry doing his rumored heel turn at Hell in a Cell 2014. WWE has planted the seeds by having Henry helping Big Show out in his feud against Alexander Rusev and Lana. The belief is that management wants to use the feud to put Rusev closer to the main event scene, while protecting Big Show, which can be done if Henry turns and costs him the match at the pay per view.
October 15, 2014
After doing a heel turn and joining the Bullet Club not too long ago, Jeff Jarrett returned to New Japan and continued the story line this week. The former world heavyweight champion crashed a press conference and declared himself as the Chairman of the Bullet Club. Jarrett has a business relationship with New Japan, so the story could transition over to Global Force Wrestling as well.
October 13, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
There are those backstage in WWE that are skeptical of the idea of doing a heel turn for Kofi Kingston, who has long been regarded as the ultimate baby face. Since he does a lot of the charity work for the company, some are afraid that it will affect that aspect of his job as well. There are rumors floating around that WWE does not have finalized plans for the new stable that also consists of Xavier Woods and Big E Langston.
July 26, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
Earlier in the year, WWE had plans on doing a heel turn for Sheamus, in order to bring a little more life back into his stale character. The company even attempted the move on television, but it was botched and the majority of fans did not realize that it had taken place. Rumors going around now is that WWE has completely scrapped the idea. Sheamus will continue to work as a baby face US champion until they can decide on something for him to do.
July 6, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Cameron will be doing a heel turn at Money in the Bank 2014. She will more than likely cost Naomi Knight her chance at the WWE Divas Championship. There is also speculations that the incident will then lead to a triple threat match at WWE Battleground 2014, which would also feature Paige as the champion still.
June 27, 2014
While it has yet to reach television, the heel turn for the Miz has been going for a couple of weeks now at WWE live events. It also appears that he will be given a new gimmick to work with upon his return to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Miz has been testing out a new heel persona, where he plays a cocky movie star. It's a play on real life, as the former WWE champion recently completed a new film.
June 22, 2014
In a sign of how quickly the heel turn decision was made, WWE still has yet to figure out what new gear Seth Rollins will be wearing now that he is a solo performer. That is one of the reasons why he still continues to wear the same gear as his former partners in the Shield, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Since it is viewed as one of the top priorities backstage, you can expect WWE to produce something new for him to wear soon enough.
June 13, 2014
Rumors going around is that WWE decided to do a heel turn for Seth Rollins at the last minute because they wanted to generate some hype and spike up the television ratings. If that's the case, then management is sure to be disappointed because Monday Night Raw actually lost some viewers this week. It wasn't a big loss, but many were expecting a huge increase.
June 11, 2014
Now that he is done filming his movie, the Miz is expected to be back on Monday Night Raw this week. The former WWE champion jumped back on the road over the weekend and worked a live event match against Sheamus. The belief is that he was warming up for the return tonight. Rumors have been floating around that Miz will also be doing a heel turn upon his return.
June 9, 2014
Ever since the shocking heel turn by Seth Rollins against Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns took place on Monday Night Raw, there has been a lot of speculations as to when WWE would have the former Shield partners fighting one another. As of right now, the strongest rumors are that Rollins and Ambrose will be facing one another at Money in the Bank 2014, while Rollins and Reigns will have their match at WWE Battleground 2014.
June 8, 2014
There have been sparse rumors over the last year that WWE was going to do a heel turn with the Miz, and it looks like that might be happening soon. While working a live event in Wisconsin over the weekend, Miz did a match against Sheamus. The former world heavyweight champion even cut a heel promo, which is viewed by many as practice before doing it on television.
June 8, 2014
Reports are surfacing now that Vince McMahon made the decision to do a heel turn with Seth Rollins on Sunday afternoon, shortly before Payback 2014. The belief is that he pulled the trigger on the move as a response to the low ratings that Monday Night Raw has received over the last couple of weeks. WWE is hoping that this provides a quick boost to the numbers.
June 5, 2014
Ever since it happened on Monday Night Raw, WWE fans have been raving about the Seth Rollins heel turn because it was considered a surprise to many. The reason for that, however, is because it was a surprise to those backstage as well. The script for the show did not include that segment initially. John Cena and Kane were supposed to be in the final spot, but WWE quickly changed their minds and had Rollins turn on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns instead.
June 4, 2014
In a pleasantly surprising move on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins did an unexpected heel turn and betrayed the Shield. As Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were preparing to face off with Triple H and Randy Orton, Rollins shocked the WWE Universe by nailing his longtime partners with several steel chair shots. He stood tall with Orton and HHH afterwards to end the episode.
June 2, 2014
As many fans are already aware by now, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury were recently given more of an on screen role as the stooges for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Since they're still in good shape, there are report floating around that WWE will have them working a match on Monday Night Raw soon. Noble and Mercury spend the majority of their time as backstage agents for the company.
October 2, 2014
There are those backstage that were disappointed with Royal Rumble 2014, as many feel that there were not enough highlight spots during the match. Kofi Kingston was praised for doing his best to produce memorable moments, but very few others were able to stand out. Jamie Noble, the agent in charge of the match, has backstage heat because of that.
January 28, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, wrestling fans saw Jamie Noble being injured in the story line after an assault by Sheamus. It was revealed shortly thereafter that he was retiring from wrestling, which led fans to question if he will actually retire. Word coming out of backstage is that this is a legitimate retirement. He will focus on a career as an agent for WWE.
November 12, 2009
On screen, Jamie Noble was forced to retire from professional wrestling after a vicious assault from Sheamus, but in reality, he is just stepping side as an in ring performer, in order to focus on his new job as a producer for WWE. Noble was heavily praised for putting over a younger star on his way out.

It was great.
SNAP was well run, organized, social, fun, and really inspiring. You can see that I've made lots of updates to my own blog after attending great workshops by creators / owners / writers of great sites like whippy cake, gussy sews, and dirty laundry and the next corner.
There were no times during the day that I didn't find a great talk or panel to listen to. The food was fantastic, the swag bag full of amazing goodies, and the Queen Bee Market was packed with adorable DIY to bring home with me.

WASHINGTON - With Gov. Bob McDonnell embroiled in an ethics scandal over gifts he and his family accepted, Virginia lawmakers are talking about how they think rules about gifts to politicians should be strengthened in the commonwealth.
"Obviously there are problems in disclosure systems and I think everybody would be looking forward to doing something to tighten them up. I'm not quite sure that going as far as banning gifts is going to be the right way to go," Republican Delegate David Albo of Fairfax County told WTOP.
"Anytime you ban something, all you do is put it underground. I mean a perfect example is in Congress when they banned gifts, for example, you couldn't take a dinner. But they did allow receptions, and so they took the food and put it on toothpicks and said that was okay," Albo added.
"I think we have to look at the entire system, and it starts by dramatically reducing the size of gifts at a minimum. I think bans in some circumstances should be considered. I don't think taking an elected official out for coffee or lunch crosses a threshold of ethical impropriety," Delegate Rob Krupicka, D-Alexandria, told WTOP.
"We also need to take a hard look at gifts to family members, employment to family members. We need to take a look at the kind of system we have to investigate ethics violations when they occur. Right now, it's not even clear what the ethical process is to review allegations against the governor. We don't have a system in place to investigate that other than calling the entire General Assembly back together again," Krupicka said.
"I think full disclosure has to be our minimum. The trust in our government is critical to our ability to serve the citizens of the commonwealth. And if that trust isn't there, we're not going to be able to be as effective as we need to be to make this state successful. I think full transparency has to be a basic building block of any kind of ethics reform," Krupicka concluded.
Albo thinks the General Assembly will take action.
"We will certainly pass some types of laws to at least increase disclosure. But it's not going to be an easy task," he said.
Krupicka believes there will be support for modest changes, but more comprehensive reform will be difficult.
"My biggest worry is the longer we wait, and the more we put this off to think about it, to talk about it, to study it, the greater the chances are that nothing happens," Krupicka said.
Both delegates spoke after McDonnell said on WTOP's "Ask the Governor" program that he would return all gifts he and his family have received from political donor and state businessman Jonnie Williams including a Rolex watch. He said he had already repaid $125,000 in loans and apologized for breaching the public's trust.
