Alyse-
Dps was low because of the bad positioning you mentioned. Unless casters are expected to spec into range, we have to move a lot to dps the adds near the boss and the adds on Ethax.
If we only DPS the adds near the boss, the ones near ethax are too slow. If we move back and forth, theres a chance that the one near the boss will die slowly. The clouds cause this.
A Ranged Priorities are:
1. Avoid Clouds
2. Killing Blows Near Boss
3. DPS spawning adds
We can easily accomplish all 3 of these things if we have the raid follow Ethax, or whoever the add tank is. It will make avoiding clouds harder, but still ridiculously easy.
Also if we do it that way, we can see who fucks up because they will be separated from the raid group. There will be less confusion as to who is messing up because we will be able to see and correct whatever problems we face.
TLDR Version: If we continue tanking the adds near the door, we need to get ready for a sloppy start to P2 or a night of P1.
