Madness takes its toll
Ladies and Gentlemen, Yogg-Saron is no more. Earlier tonight the brave men and women of the Order of Thrones brought that bastard down, ending his threat forever. It certainly took us a while, we killed Vezax on May 10th, 5 weeks ago, but Yogg caused us a lot of problems. Until last Sunday we couldn't get cleanly into Phase 2, and without that, everything was kind of doomed. But even though raiders were getting frustrated with our constant wiping due to phase 1 (since even if we died in phase 2, it was due to phase 1), we perservered, and last Sunday, July 6th, at the end of the night we could repeatably get to 30%. But 4.5 hours of raiding is a lot, so people were tired and our attempts got worse for a bit at the end of the night there.
Rested and ready to rock, we came back on Wednesday and got him to about 6% on 2 pulls, doing phase 2 in 3 brain phases both times. On one we learned that he has a *very* hard enrage. It's not a Brutallus enrage where you attempt to burn the last few percent of his life off. No, he burns all 100% of your life off, really quickly. And the other wipe at 6% was just a tank death.
But tonight, tonight we came back and we were ready. We were a bit disappointed that the hotfix went in before we could get a kill, not because we thought we needed it to get a kill (none of the changes would have turned those 6% wipes to kills, those were all p3 execution issues), but just for bragging rights. We warmed up with a few pulls to get portals sorted out and remind people of what we were doing, and then we kicked his ass.
It was a pretty clean first kill, we only had 2 deaths(1 in Phase 1, and 1 in Phase 3) and It was a very clean p3. We had just over 6 minutes and he was losing 5% of his life every minute, so we were good to go. At 1 minute left, the melee group heroism debuff had worn off, and we turned to face him and heroism... and he promptly fell over. Awesome job guys. And to everyone who was there Wednesday and couldn't make Sunday - you saw everything, you did everything we need to kill him, kudos to you, and kudos to everyone else who helped us learn.
Time for some hard modes.
