Call of the Grand Crusade

Postby » Wed Sep 30, 2009 3:09 am


The final fight in Trial of the Grand Crusader proved to be quite a challenge after all. Anub'arak pushed the limits to our strategy executive and raid composition unlike any encounter we've seen since Sunwell. It's been a while since we found a fight that needed more than a few days to down, and the class requirements, DPS checks, and Tanking setups tested us quite a bit. We revised our setup and strat multiple times until we found our way to handle the fight, and we truly should have had it last week. We came in tonight and things clicked. We had consistent P1 and P2s, and made great progress in P3. Once we figured out how to adjust for Shadow Strike in P3, we were close, and ended up hitting the zerk at 0.8% due to overactive healing (love you Zepp). Two attempts later, we repeated, just barely missed Mad Skill at 42 attempts left. Even still, it was a great feeling when he finally fell.

Thanks for sticking it out and showing the long term dedication to learning this challenging fight everyone. It was a rough few nights the last few weeks as we struggled with P2 consistency, and everyone was getting a bit jaded with the fight. We kept at it though and found a setup that worked, and pulled it out. Great job and congratulations to everyone, we earned. Back to shortened raid weeks!

So your lack of attendance on the fight caused this to take longer than it should? I see, its good of you to man up to the blame like that. I'm proud of you.

Nah...I've been on that fight a lot. Just as Boomkin...but boomkins are terrible...but just slightly less terrible than no Elemental Shaman.
