Not much to say about this fight as it's really not that different from normal. A rotation of people to soak HoT's and some stooges to forcefully die by it if GG pleased it so. Apart from that the fight revolved around a button and we think you had to click it at some point. That said, dead dragon so time to mess with the bull.

  • Announcement: Heroic: Yor'sahj

Yor'sahj and the sweet collection of oozy goodness. This fight surely gave us enough aggravation as it seemingly was so similar to the normal mode. The details of when you add switch and when you would kill the mana void mattered quite a bit in the long run. The real crux however remained that elusive deep corruption and we surely have sifted through plenty of lists to narrow the spells down that could cause stacks of it. I'm sure Murtle has a nice story to tell about chain heal when you ask her. Once we managed to get full control over the deep corruption and didn't stumble into the pitfall of healing too much or too little (both causing a bad case of death) we started making good progression on this fight. A wipe here and then, some refocus motivational speech and down went Ivan's protégé. We are looking forward to down Ultraxion and his seemingly lightning quick fading light omgpushthebuttonwtfqq timers.

  • Announcement: Hagara: Heroic
    Posted: Phaeton @ 27 Mar 2012, 17:21
We finally managed to progress nicely on the heroic version of Hagara the storm binder. The main crux for us was the lightning phase which almost gave raiden a run for his money. After quite a few attempts we finally managed to get man, woman and pet into position to form our mega human chain of electrifying goodness. Once that was sorted it we made quick work of handling the frost phase even if some ppl just can resist the attraction of the dispel button. The last step was getting everyone to notice they were about to be entombed into a nice chunck of ice. With those key elements sorted it was a matter of time before we killed her and so Hagara is no more and Raiden can be relieved as he is still wearing the master of the lightning hat.

  • Announcement: Heroic: Morchok
    Posted: Phaeton @ 21 Feb 2012, 16:23
After clearing DS on normal we are having a poke at heroic DS. First on our to do list was that gullible giant named Morchok. On heroic Morchok duplicates himself into his mirror image Kohcrom who does exactly the same just a wee bit later. The raid splits in 2 apart from that the fight is exactly the same as on normal. Since there are less ppl to split the stomp damage and all abilities hit harder on heroic, healing was quite different vs the normal encounter. This time instead of battling the sleep inducement, positioning actually mattered a lot. Once everyone got accustomed to the positioning and healers adjusted to the amount of incoming dmg these twins soon toppled over. Our next heroic endeavor will be Hagara.
