Day uh.. 5?

Post by Palin » Thu Jul 07, 2011 4:16 am

Tier was supposed to post our Rag killshot over the weekend, but didn't. He sucks. So we are doing multiple updates in one!

After going 5/7 Normal the first night, we went in Weds and promptly dispatched Majordomo and got to work on Rag. He didn't die the first night but after some adjustments on Thursday we were getting to P3 regularly, and he died after the second time we saw the final phase.

Bouncy balls are fun.

So we chilled for a bit, waiting eagerly for Tuesday when the real progression would begin. Along the way we decided to forget everything we knew and re-learn Sinestra because we like ourselves a challenge. We're adventurous like that.

Tuesday rolled around, and the fun began:

Shannox was our first target. Much to our surprise we discovered the entire strategy of the fight changed from Normal to Heroic. While 25m guilds lolZerged him down by dropping healers and letting DPS die left and right while burning him down, we realized we didn't really have that option in 10m. After some practiced coordination, and some tweaking with our trap timing we broke through and landed a kill a few attempts later.

Afterwords we played with Beth'tilac a bit, discovering she's a giant cunt. I'll let you know if that changes.

Today we decided to work on Rhyolith and were glad to find him hotfixed to alleviate some of the RNG with volcanoes. We had to teach our raid to drive a bit, learn to ignore some adds that we didn't think we had to, and a few other tweaks. We found ourselves pushed up the soft enrage timer, but after some shifting of DPS priorities and creative timing, we managed to push him into P2. The second time we got him to P2 we scored a kill, WITHOUT Angel form being needed. Clearly not the MVP :(

Afterwords we went back to work learning Beth, determining that little had changed, she's still a cunt.

Great job guys, we're progressing nicely through Firelands Heroic the first week, performing at that level we knew we still could. We started slow in T11, so its nice to see us not making the same mistakes this tier (proper 10m tuning helps too, thanks Bliz). Let's keep the great pace up!
