Nightbane, Maulgar

Yay, old-timey dragon fight! Fear, tail swipe, breath attack…where are the eggs!?

Since Prince bugged out on us, and would not aggro on anyone, we decided to let him live for the night… >_>;

…and go try our hand at Nightbane. Our offtank got the quest done and so we went down and summoned him. We made some honest, decent attempts…he’ll be dead next time we go in there. We had some miscommunication or confusion or something on placement that kept wiping us (people were too far away and started eating fireballs…blech).

It seems like a good enough fight, design-wise. I like how the airborne phases are timed rather than forcing your raid to focus dps all over the place. Granted, you only have ten people to work with and splitting dps would be fairly difficult, but regardless…just continually remembering being the only mage available for Onyxia, having to AoE the whelps by myself…

Back at ‘em on Wednesday. Tuesday is Gruul’s…need some progress on Maulgar. Also would like to see some of our other raiders gear up a bit.

Healing Maulgar’s tank in there is most difficult. No Flast of Light spam for me, I need to be pre-empting big heals. Nicely enough, last time we were there, I got to be partied with a Moonkin and an elemental shaman…+8% spell crit! It was beautiful. I was at like 29 or 30% holy crit. To which the shaman responded, “I’m at 40!” Insane, I tell you.
