A long time coming!

[Skroesec 875]

So after many, many weeks of heartbreak, we finally sealed the deal with Anub'arak. Going back months we'd one shot it here, but commit a foul somewhere else. We must have had 49 attempts continuously since before thanksgiving. But we finally got it done, and in what style. We are now officially Super Heroes of the Grand Crusade!



Some fun statistics about this particular kill:
-Our kill was 24 seconds faster than our previous best, and 70 seconds faster than the previous week (which we also one shot). This was a 7:11 second kill.

-Our strat is designed around a set number of waves of adds before P3 (5) and two burrows. We had to call stop DPS with 24 seconds remaining so as not to push him into P3 before the second burrow (we would have loved to do it, but we're not going to deviate from the strat on a whim like that).

-Our Phase 3 was 110 seconds long. This is in the top 1% of all Anub heroic kills. It was 73 seconds faster than the previous week. We killed two waves of adds and burrowed the third, but in retrospect, we probably could have just burrowed the second and killed him.

-Braest, Wolfbane, Foker, Warschild and Eref all did near world record P3 damage

So that brings Trial of the Grand Crusader to a close... thank fucking god. We can now focus on ICC25 and get out of that rat hole. And what a way to get out! The below image summarizes our approach to Anub in our kill, and Tier 9 content as a whole. Bring on ICC25 Hard Modes!
