WHY IS PATTY'S HEALTH NOT GOING UP?!

Post by Palin » Tue Jul 26, 2011 4:03 am

Seriously, gdamn.

After Beth, the Gatekeeper himself was our obvious next choice. We soon learned that execution wise, the fight was pretty straightfoward and simple. From a healing standpoint, it was maddening. Unlike in 25m where the Enrage is the hard part of the fight, in 10m the challenge comes from handling half of your raid team (a whopping 2) being Tormented at a given time, and/or having only 1 healer to top up Decimation Blades. One bad lack of avoidance streak, one hit coming fractions of second before a heal landed, one Decimation blade deciding to land immediately after a melee swing was the difference between a kill and a wipe. Without the second healer on the tank, you just had no buffer or leeway to deal with bad RNG on his hits.

We spent a solid two nights on Bale, culminating in a best attempt of 18% last Thursday. We knew we could get it down this week but the pressure was on. Both frustrations and a renewed hope came about with a 3% wipe resulting from a dead DPS. A few pulls later, after some frantic screaming as our tank' health refused to move no matter how many heals we pumped into him, and somehow keeping him alive despite two OOM healers and no explicable reason to his survival, we downed him.

Hey, we're tied for fastest kill on WoL too. But, we beat the guild we're tied with by 19 DPS, so I say we're #1~
