Or wait … does it still count as a wipe if the holy pally makes it out the door alive? Halfus took a few tries as we worked out strategies, because other than a couple of us, no one had tried it before or read any strats for heroic. It’s the only thing that makes sense for getting Slice and Fayle to do “old content”. I think this must have been like some condition for Arv joining ToR … he had to have told Fayle that the only way he would play is if we went for some old content cheeves in WoW. So last night we took a vote and decided to *gasp* work on T11 heroics instead of Dragon Soul heroics. Sorak is going to give me hell I know, but Khizzara gave me a suggestion to solve my Closed Circuit issue, so … hey it’s Monday, I always give Sorak a hard time on Mondays! Now, it has some features my old version didn’t. But I didn’t bother setting up all the macros for Kerick, so he just used the healbot version that I downloaded last week. After much gnashing of teeth over it, Sorak talked me into setting up the default frames again with mouseovers. Last week, Van couldn’t get the Closed Circuit debuff to show up on healbot during the Elegon encounter. A bunch of people got the BoT achievement at the end, too. After that, well … Cho’gall himself was a big pushover. And everyone did awesome on the attempt where we killed them. Three of us lived and finished the fight somehow. I think we lost most of the raid between the first breath and the first dazzling circles of swirly stuff. Then we lost a couple who got thrown off the stairs (also a normal thing in BoT even if you’ve been there before) and got to Val and T. It wouldn’t be a BoT raid without a wipe on that trash! Halfus went down easy though. Of course we wiped on the trash in the front room. Toss in having tanks that haven’t been there and the fact that everyone studied Blackrock Descent since that was where we were supposed to go and you can understand my concern. Sure, it’s nerfed from what it once was, and most of the raid was level 90 … but it’s still new enough and the fights are complex enough that some attention must still be paid to certain mechanics. To be honest, I was a little bit nervous going into it. This was LBR’s first real foray into Cata content. Plus, ya know, it was Laid Back Raid night. What? Didn’t you read the letter that came with your 8th Anniversary Celebration package yesterday? It clearly said to go out and defend a shattered world. So, one week after dinging 90, Kerick got to his first raid for this expansion – Bastion of Twilight. Maybe we can go back and clean up the things we need to get the mount … So we got 3 titles and guild achievements. We killed her too fast at first, and let her blow up the raid once as well. We still had to make sure every blast nova got interrupted, and make sure Onyxia was killed just before hitting 90 energy. This did take a little bit of recall and coordination. I mean, he’s the one who had nightmares about kiting Animated Bone Warriors! I really thought he was just joking. Hm … plenty of time left … what next? I’m sure I’m not the only one who was floored by Arv’s suggestion that we go kill Nef. But hey, it’s one more title and guild achievement for the collection! They were dispatched posthaste …Īlthough I’m not too sure anyone was all that excited about it. Once that was done, we disposed of her fairly quickly, although not without casualties.įrom there, we moved on to Throne of the Four Winds. None of us had ever faced her before, so we died a few times before deciding that a break to check out strats/videos would be a good idea. The rest of us soon followed and came face to face with Deathwing’s conniving consort, Sinestra. We all had a good laugh when the floor opened up as Cho’gall died, dropping his body … and Arv … down into the depths. So last night, missing a healer and with Vaults already cleared, we decided to go back to the first tier of Cata. We just need to fine-tune and he’ll be down. We made good progress on Mel Tuesday night, getting to the enrage. We had just pulled Elegon when he logged on, so there was little reason not to just finish Vaults then. Well, Zarm was going to be late Tuesday, so we hit Vaults first. Our original plan was to progress in Heart of Fear on Tuesday when Zarm was available, and do Mogu’shan Vaults on Wednesday.
