curator tips

i don't think it's out of the question to 1-shot curator when get around to dusting off our regalia, shining up our pauldrons, and riding back to karazhan to see the looks on their faces. Anyways.. to try and make it go as smoothly as possible, everyone should do the following:

• download and install deadly boss mods. once downloaded, load it up and run it in test mode so that you'll be aware of the location the warning bars and things will show up on your screen. you don't want to wait until you get to a raid boss for the first time to figure this mod out.
  
  
• (dps) create a macro /target astral flare
  bind this to a key so that you can spam it as much as possible during the flare phase so we can eliminate as much time between flares
  
  for hunters:
  /target astral flare
  /petattack
  /cast Auto Shot
  
  for other ranged dps classes, i would suggest adding /cast of whatever you best burst dmg spell is after the /target astral flare
  
  
• save your +damage trinkets for the curators evocation stage, don't waste them on the flares
  
  
• review the fight on wow wiki and in the videos. if you're ranged dps, find a spot and stay there. Boss mods will tell you if you're too close to somebody. Since the curator pats way back, we have ample time to setup in a nice horse shoe shape. If you're a healer, try and determine where you should be in terms of other ranged dps and other healers in the horseshoe (have no idea how to best do that since it's not my thing).
  
  
• if you can't afford the mats for a flask, make sure you have a battle elixir and a guardian elixir and mana & health pots or mats for jim to make um
