It took us exactly 86 attempts, total...

[Skroesec 875]

For the first time ever, our complete strat to a fight, for all to see...

 

 

 

Certainly the best fight in this instance, and a surprisingly fun and complex one. A real pleasure to learn.

 

Special Recognition:

Rehn for tanking strat and working hard on the gear, and doing 90 things at once.

Kimah for interrupt strat and showing DKs can do a fight that you "must have a druid" for.

Cartoonhero for the amazing and pivitol Phase 2 strat. (Peace dude)

Lithid, Exxe, Dephness, Moshii, Beholder and Zergg for being especially pro at your jobs.

Foker, Vlaid and Zoranisha for add-strat.

Lithid for top DPS on Anub'arak in Phase 3.

Fluxxions for a lot of healing footwork and figuring out of P3.

Isomalt for top DPS on burrowers in Phase 3 and the interrupt strategy.

All the healers for knowing how to thread the needle in a way few healers can.

 

Some fun facts:

- We did it in 86 attempts since we killed Yogg+0 (when we got serious about the fight). Most guilds did it in 130+

- Anub'arak healed for 8.7 million. Most parses for other guilds had him heal 10-12 million in P3.

- We killed Anub after 9 waves of adds. Most guilds see 11-12.

- We only lost 3 people on the kill attempt, all in the last 10%.

 

This fight defined collective accomplishment. Everyone contributed. Litteraly every member of the guild saw extensive time in raid on this fight. We made hundreds of micro-adjustments and minimaxed the hell out of the raid. We never really had any wasteful attempts. That's why it took us about a week and a half to do. We had barely done the fight before we killed Yogg+0 - we chose to focus on that hurdle first. Now, within a short period, we've beaten the two hardest fights in the game.

 

And thanks to Kimah also for making the front page way better >.<. I should retire from making frontpages.
