That was my only issue with the Trinity/Macaroon/whatever it was called
next button bar addon: It really had a problem with showing such buttons
(presumably because they often appeared in combat and there were
restrictions what addons could do with buttons while in combat).

This often caused me to not have access to certain buttons both in

Have you ever heard about this weapon?

<[link]> ilvl 483. Can be equipped by lvl 85
toons. It went for 70k on my realm's bmah which I guess is cheap.

Too bad it isnt boa. :)

after a death or wipe will finish the job.

True. :)

Tried that. No feather for me. Wtf? Oh well. Jump. Back to the
platform and make big badaboom. :)

It amuses me that ppl still trigger *all* the trash when running to
Ji-Kun. Spiders, maggots, everything comes to life. God bless the
newbies. :)

Yea, but reading that and never doing it, that explanation made it sound
more complicated/scary than it is... :)

Simply, nest team can jump down in the starting nest before the fight
has even begun to wait..After healing/dpsing the nest, you get a wing
button. It's not hidden, it's fairly good is size. (In fact, it's the

Ouch, that sounds like the first few times I attempted the Occulus
in Lich King. I never did that dungeon again, I felt so stupid.

Thanks, now I know to never volunteer for the nest group.

That experience sounds like exactly why I've not dared try it yet lol
- if I do, I'll do it on a dpser first, not a healer, so at least my
absence won't matter so much; as I will be guaranteed to screw up, get
lost, or whatever - bad sense of direction is not a good thing when

Its hard to explain the route, but I give it a try.

1) When you "jump" to the _big_ platform lets call that position 6
o'clock. Consider the platform as a watch. You run anticlockwise to
3oc where you have the first nest and make a jump down to the first nest
from here. If the raid leader is good he places a marker here (request

Yes, I failed flying.

1. How do I fly? (oh, that button that's buried (albeit accessible) in
my HUD.
2. Where to? (oh, follow the others, if you can find them, now they've
already flown off somewhere...).
3. Dang - the flying is time limited.
4. Double Dang - you have to stop on the main platform for a breather

I guess you failed on flying? Do it as dps 2-3 times and you know the
route. Its quite easy. It starts with 3 nest down clockwise (5 eggs =
mainly aoe), 3 nest up (2 eggs = mainly single target) etc.. Some still
thinks nests are randomly chosen, but it isnt. :)

I did The Secrets of Ragefire as a heroic recently; it was *tough* and
definitely required a team. I wound up using my ret pally to kite the
next-to-last boss around the circle while others whaled on it, but not
having been informed that I had to do that for the last one as well,
we died repeatedly. Got it eventually.

When no other healer volunteered for nest work this week. I tried it.
I don't think I've had a more embarassing time in LFR for a year.
