ZA can be productive AND fun

Topic: ZA|

Now ZA happened a few days ago, but I was busy and on the road so I’m only getting to the update now.

ZA has been challenging for us in some ways. We haven’t been bringing the best group of 10 every time so that makes it a little crazy. Anyway, this time I said screw it, I’m hand picking the raid because i want to actually DOWN SOMETHING worthwhile and make this not a waste of time.
Eagle boss is easy and we make the 1st timer. Bear boss is easy and we don’t make the timer but we’re close.
Dragon boss has been the bane of our existence. This is a nice test of dps – especially from a warlock/mage point of view. Now, as a warlock I occasionally have DPS issues. It can take me a few runs to get used to my tank (especially after I do gear upgrades) and not pull aggro. Dragon boss has been tough for me – how long do I wait for the tank to pull the hatched dragons before killing the hatcher and spamming Seed of Corruption? The only time I have beaten dragon boss I was flighting very bad lag as I was on the road and was dead most of the fight.
I have NOT had good luck on this fight and it shows..

Timeout...

Luckily the tank in charge and I have been running raids for a while so we were in better shape and I finally got the fight figured out.
It’s simple. Dot the hatcher when he runs in with corruption and immolate. Do NOT touch him until he hatches last eggs. as they are popping out start dropping seeds on the hatchlings. The first seed that pops knocks out the hatcher and with the mage freezing everyone then Arcane blasting to set off the seeds they all drop fast.
All it was after we figured that out was keeping everyone alive through the fire bombs.

easy as pie...

Done! And THEN the super blade drops…..!!!!

and I roll a 14…..and lose to a mage. /roar
Oh well. We know how to beat it now. Next time….

So next is Lynx boss. He’s not bad, we’ve gotten him before and we’re on a high from taking down the dragon guy. We’re killing trash when one of the mages in front of me ice blocks for no good apparent reason….

here kitty...

/muahahhaha
A hunter in the group with a cat that looks very similar to the lynx’s we are fighting scared the mage. We have a good giggle and continue on.

Fight is easy. 1 try and bam.


lynx down

Too bad it’s real late and a weekday so we call it after that.

Hopefully we can get a similar group to go tonight and zip through it.
