"too quick and easy"?

What's your strategy between Vaelestrazs and Firemaw? That part alone
is one big 40 minutes fight for us! (and as a Priest, I can't leave my
eye from the screen nor write anything in the chat window until Firemaw
is pulled!)

Ahrg, my condeances, a tank disconnection is pretty much impossible to
overcome... everytime something happens to our MT against Firemaw, the
off-tank messes his placement by a couple pixel and gets out of range,
or puts his healers within range of Firemaw.

Anyway, rejoice, the "trash mob fights" after Firemaw are in my eye the
best fights in the game; it's no longer a 40 vs one big boss type of
battle, even though the difficulty is similar, it's very different
battles within a fight.

At Blizz-con they pulled out some stats about how many people
different bosses had killed. According to that Vael has killed more
players than any other boss in the game.

Their stats are wrong, it seems so obvious that the boss LAG has killed
more players than any other that it's not even a closes call.

So second raid night with my new guild, MC, which the guild has on farm
status.


We did the first 2 bosses the night before, so last night was the rest +
Ragna, who I had never killed before.

It was the same "walk in the park" as what I was used to with my old
raid, except with less people (a guild raid seems to mean a lot more
flexibility to come and go as you need, so all night people were
arriving, and leaving...)

then Ragna; a good brief by a friendly mage who gave me his "cheat" spot
where I'd need neither fire resistance gear (I'm only at 125 buffed,
need to work on that a little, they are making flarecore shoulders for
me and I need to get my Onyxia scale cloak enchanted) nor brains 'cause
the Knockback would juste make me wriggle. The fight started, and aparet
from the fact that Ididn't know what to do when the sons popped (I knew
what I was supposed to do, but jsut didn't manage to do it^^), and Ragna
was dead...

It seemed such an anticlimax. Not that I'm unhappy, but I will admit
that I consider my first Ragna kill to be the one that my old raid group
did, I wasn't there but the leader messengered me in real time as they
downed him, and I remember the adrenaline when they succeded.


So, now I'm ready to attack BWL and new bosses with a clear consience,
I've completed MC. Last night I got the domination rod, and my long
awaited red dress (Pouvoir Volatile - Volatile Power?).


Just need to make myself a nice shirt to go with it, and I can relegate
my old and threadbare archmages dress to bank storage at long last. (I
was getting so sick of that blue couloured dress - I'd had it since last
spring, one of the first on the server...)




I didn't have anything interesting to say, but if you read through, cheers!

And when you do a bad pull and have to fight Vael and LAG at the same
time.. hooboy!

Cheers!
