the walrus was paul!
Anub'arak was damn hard in heroic. We burned the majority of our attempts trying to iron out our strategy and ended up killing him with eleven UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS left on the counter, scoring us two trophies. We hit phase three on about our forth attempt and immediately agreed that there was no way two healers could maintain such absurd amounts of damage and flipped Silinde over to Holy. The problem we then faced was with DPS. I don't know if it's possible to do this fight in more than one burrow phase with extreme skill mixed in with a little luck to spread out the permafrost from the very limited frost spheres but it didn't seem feasible to us. Many of our attempts were wasted in this way as we made a little change each attempt to achieve a ridiculously tight DPS requirement before just going back to two healers on the insistence of Corlic. It worked very soon afterwards.
Twins we one shot, Faction Champions were difficult due to the composition we got and wasted many of our attempts, Jaraxxus was a joke but gave us a humorous wipe with the goatse portals now needing to be killed and Northrend Beasts, while easy for us, is still overtuned if they don't intend it to be a gateway boss.
Overall I quite liked the place and really enjoyed the subtle changes they made to Anub'arak to ramp up his difficulty. I still hate the Faction Champions and don't believe that shit belongs in a PvE raid but to each their own. Hopefully we'll get a friendlier composition next week and with a stronger strategy for Anub in place, we'll get an absolute minimum of three trophies.
Very favourable entry soon. For now, Russta on Spatalos EU.
