We had to wait quite some time during the raid, shortening it more to a mere 2-hour raid in reality, we still managed to get the first four bosses down in the new instance.
It was clear that the new instance on normal is a lot easier than firelands and infinitely easier than the t11 content. Hopefully the heroic modes will still pose a challenge.
Let’s kill the rest including deathwing on sunday!
Edit: fifth boss is down too now
Edit: and the sixth boss is down, two to go!
Edit: and the seventh boss is also down, one more!
Today we got our last heroic down before ragnaros and to top it off we got the glory achievement for the mount as well!
Congratulations all with your new mounts!
Look at Quik meditating and balancing at the same time on Egbert’s beak!
I said we would kill Baleroc on heroic today and we did!
It was quite tough and some people died, but we did make it within the enrage timer still and that’s what counts! At first positioning was a bit hard, especially with where the healers should stand. Ofcourse, also some luck was involved as the healers didn’t get linked to anyone with tormented, which was good.
Grats all to those that were there! Now we have just Beth left before we can start on Ragnaros! Tuesday we’ll do a quick raggie one-shot and next week we’ll focus fully on Beth hc from the start.
Our (temporary) nemesis is finally down! Unexpectedly, having four melee dps on the boss actually helped us get him down faster, while the ranged dps were still enough to handle other adds.
The steering went like a breeze as well with hard turns being a lot easier than with only two melee and we got him consistenly to phase 2. It just took some timing with the heroism/time warp to start just before the phase change while all dps focuses on the boss at that point to get there with few enough damage increase in the end.
On to baleroc and beth!
Thodos, stop drooling on the boss and turn around!
It took us a while, but after we went to two-healing (me and Lyann) we got a lot further everytime, as close as 6% several times. We just needed to hold out long enough in the orb phases but once we got that, we got him.
Congratulations on a job well done!
On to the next boss!
This fight wasn’t so bad as the only difference was mostly the meteors with the firestorms and a longer phase 1. The whole fight took about 15 minutes, which is comparable to the lich king fight. All in all it looks like we can have this heroic on farm already.
Good job all!

Prepare for baleroc for sunday and alysrazor for next week. We’ll also take a look at beth’tilac, but that’s probably still the hardest before ragnaros.

It doesn’t look like we’ll have to change much as 1 tank 2 healers is recommended for heroic and we use that for normal already. Now we’ll need all the dps we can do, both on the adds as on the legs. The faster we get him to phase 2 the better, meaning we might even have to burn cooldowns at some point to just get him into phase 2.
We might have to assign 3 dps to the adds, who should also be ready to do damage to liquid adds and be ready to knock them back or slow them.

It seems like an extreme healing fight with people even out of the group during scorpion phase to do as much damage as possible. I wonder whether we have the gear for this already (especially on our healers).
