Last week we had a 1% wipe on Kalecgos when Sathrovarr killed the human form Kalecgos (early tank death put more pressure on him). Just a tiny more DPS or tanking would have kept him up, and the dragon was low at the time and probably would have gotten killed.
Well we went back this Tuesday and had a bit of a rough start because we had to teach some new people, and our 3rd tank wasn't as well geared as our 3rd tank last week, so healing was a bit rougher at the start, but everyone pulled through. The kill itself was nearly a model of perfect execution. Until 25% dragon/15% demon everyone was alive, in good shape etc.
We just did a little too much DPS to the demon and hit the enrage at about 21% dragon. So we started losing tanks. At 6% he was basically running around 1-shotting people, and we're watching his health drop and just hoping. He gets to 1%, and I see him run over to kill one of the two remaining DPSers (Feign Death Scoresby, Feign Death!) and suddenly he rears back and turns friendly.
For a second we weren't sure. Was that the exit combat due to a wipe or was that him turning friendly because we won? Well, as you've guessed from the title of the post, it's because we won. Woo!!
Not our cleanest first kill ever, but it was a really clean kill until I messed up the DPS balancing at the end, and we still got him, so good job everyone.
Now, the kill shot you're about to see isn't very exciting. First, Kalecgos didn't stick around for it - he just flew off and left us with a typical demon-armor corpse (like Magtheridon). And that corpse looked so disappointing I guess some of our guild mates teleported to Shattrath to look for more exciting corpses. But we of course took a shot anyway.
Here it is:
