Quick post today.<\/p>\n
Went to Firelands last night.<\/p>\n
Spent a LOT of time on trash. Figured out that you basically have to kill one of each type of mob to spawn Shannox (although it might not be all mobs, we certainly did kill one of each mob before he spawned).<\/p>\n
Felt ridiculously unprepared because Shannox and Riplimb are untauntable when we expected them to be tauntable. Stupid PTR!<\/p>\n
It was a slow night and a lot of our enthusiasm was sapped by a combination of three things:<\/p>\n
1) Changes to the boss meant changes in figuring out WTF to do about Jagged Tear.<\/p>\n
2) Shannox’s patrol IS STUPIDLY LONG and takes FOREVER. You do a ready check and everyone’s ready and then like, 3 minutes later, THAT’S when Shannox patrols around.<\/p>\n
3) Respawning trash, while understandable, meant that most of our good attempts were before our break and we didn’t even have a chance to really work out what we now believe is a winning strat.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, I’m friendly with Avengers of Hyjal and bought the cloak.<\/p>\n
On the not-so-bright side, Shannox is alive.<\/p>\n
On another bright side, the other major 25-man guild on Eldre’Thalas ALSO failed to kill Shannox and wiped 17 times to our 12.<\/p>\n
On the not-so-bright side, I think they also raid Wednesdays, so unless they fail hideously, we’ll probably only get the 2nd 25-man Shannox kill. >< Still, we caught up to them at the end of T11 with both of us at 7\/13. Not bad since we raid something like 7 hours a week less than they do. (4 nights, 4 hours vs. our 3 nights, 3 hours.)<\/p>\n
At any rate, I have RL stuff to do which will keep me from doing stuff in-game I should do. Tonight I raid with Choice and we’ll see if I get in for the fight or if I’m on standby. While my baby pally’s gear is much improved, it’s still not phenomenal, but Firelands normals are really made for people in 359 gear. Mine’s 356, so maybe with just a couple of JP purchases (?) I could hit that. Or just get some dailies done to get going towards some 365 gear. Rep would be great just to get the 378 cloak!<\/p>\n
Okay, that’s my Firelands update. Anyone else have Firelands stories to share?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
