Heroic Naxx (25) 1/3 5:30-9:30pm server

This is a recurring raid.

PLEASE start working on your frost resist gear for Sapphiron when we get to him.

Thanks, Boman

How much frost resist is our target?

I can make a full set of Frost Resist Cloth gear.

At the moment we're trying to keep it easy and just ask people to get their 3-piece Frost Resist Set. When we do get to Sapphiron - if you don't have your full FR set, you will not be eligible to roll for loot. From the table below, it seems like with the set bonus and aura we'll have people at max resist.

Now before the flames begin, I understand that Frost Resist is not needed for Sapphiron. But even though it is not needed, we are requiring it. Why? We've done Sapphiron in Naxx-10 and found that our people have trouble. Trouble getting out of the blizzard, trouble getting behind the ice-block. In order to progress, we must be prepared.

If you are a plate wearer, I would suggest you buy your set quickly. In an upcoming patch it is going to be much more expensive to have created.

The following is a post from the tankspot forums that give an overview of Frost Resist values:

To be more specific, there are 5 resistance tiers, ranging from poor to excellent. The amount you need to reach each tier depends on the level of the mob you are fighting. Bosses are level 83 so the tiers look like this:

0 - 82 = 0%
83 - 165 = 15%
166 - 248 = 30%
249 - 331 = 45%
332 - 414 = 60%
415 = 75% max

Chest = 115
Belt = 86
Boots = 86
Aura = 130
-----------
Total = 417 = 75% max resist


If you choose to only wear 2 pieces...

Chest = 115
Belt or Boots = 86
Aura = 130
-----------
Total = 331 = 45%

In this case you are just shy of reaching the 332 needed for the 60% tier, so make sure you add in a Void Sphere (+4 resist all gem) in one of the sockets to bring your total to 335 and safely in the 60% tier.
