Farm Run May 11, 2008

This would have been a fairly easy night; except we were missing four folks who showed up very late, or not at all. We basically did a pickup team of folks for the evening, and still cleared it out.

We still had Illhoof remaining, and without a second tank I was forced into a double tank role on both Illhoof and Kil'rek; which worked out, but only barely. The fight was longer, 5:24 total time, and required a LOT of running on my part to catch Kil-rek when he was out, and to stay aggro'ed on Illhoof. This, and the constant run of chains on players, kept things moving very very quickly for a single tank. Regardless, down in one try.

Next came Nightbane, and without a second tank he was not awful; but not easy. The first wipe resulted when we lost our backup heal Solon; then Nistagmus, and it all fell apart without heals on the tank. We are now using every cc measure at our command to control the skeleton adds during air phase, including just ice traps and fear.

The second wipe, was essentially a lost healer; Nist was feared into Nightbane, who cleaved him down in one hit. The rest of the group fell apart, and we didn't get him past 50%, in 5:20 total time.

The last run, we considered what we were up against. Koalat, the best dps paladin ever, respecced to holy paladin for the night. He was our off healer, and due to time constraints had no mana pots for the fight. The same thing applied to another healer and we simply donated pots, and considered the length of this fight. We had Grizzlybear with us to heal as well, and he used tremor totems to dispel the fears. The tank is typically outside the range of such totems so I still needed fear ward from the priests. The fight was long; 9:52 total time, but we dropped him with only Eliminster falling during the entire run.

Stats were not recorded for this fight.
