The Lich King Awaits

In contrast to Blood Queen, Sindragosa wasn't that bad. Last week was our first week to seriously work on her. On Wednesday, after we killed Blood Queen, we gave her 6 pulls (we had technically done 2 pulls several weeks prior - but they were unflasked just to get a look at her). People kept dying to the Blistering Cold and our tomb strategy was confusing people so we decided to clean those up.

So we got everyone to enchant their boots with run speed (something we had strongly suggested before) and we changed our tomb strategy to do all the tombs in the center of the room, so we didn't waste so much time moving around. We didn't get a kill, but we were clearly doing better - our best attempt was 11%. So that was about twenty attempts on Sunday.

Tonight we went back and kicked her ass. We still had the working tomb strategy from Sunday, but people were more familiar with it, and not tired like at the end of Sunday night, so on our first pull we had a good feeling about the night. We were still having a lot of problems with people dying in the sub-35% phase, but a strategy changed fixed that. With all of our DPS, we weren't in any danger of missing berserk, so instead of having some DPS break their buffet stack on one tomb and the other DPS break it on the next, we told all DPS to break stacks on every tomb, but told the ranged to not hit the tombs at all - we didn't want them dying too quickly.

The first pull like that didn't quite work - people weren't used to it and so it failed, but it was working much better for the healers. We tried it again, and sweet, sweet victory.

So, on to the screenshot. You can see I'm dead for the kill, but as you can see from the screenshot - I'm not alone.
