Anetheron dead

Took us five tries (this was our 2nd trip) and two tries last night (first saw us wipe at 5%) which seems to be the norm for us on new bosses that aren't exceptionally difficult (those typically take many many more wipes, looking at Morogrim, Leo, and Al'ar).
On the one hand, I'm happy we got him, on the other, have to wonder what took so long. The entire key to the fight is for the raid to be quick to run to the Infernal tank. Ok, and proper positioning of the healers. That's really all there is to it. He hits reasonably hard, but not much harder than some of the ZA bosses in overall damage output to the tank.
The really frustrating part of the evening was the 1% wipe to Rage on our first attempt. Not that we got him to 1%, but that so many people died early to Death and Decay. One healer literally kept me up for 5 minutes. It had been two weeks since our previous (first) visit, so perhaps we were rusty and it wasn't ingrained.
The other raid leader is talking about taking us to BT, and I want to go, but I'm concerned that if we put this place away again for two weeks, we'll have similar issues. I'd like to hit it one more time, just to make certain people remember the first two bosses. It has nothing to do with [item]The Unbreakable Will[/item], really =).

 |  grats on the kill! as far as rage goes... i don't know what your strat is but one thing we did early on especially was to make sure we engaged as many NPC's as possible... its disheartening to see a wipe with 1% left (more trash sucks, imo anyway... unless you haven't gotten your cloak yet). We usually wait until the dnd is on melee, then the tank runs down to jaina and everyone clears out of the way... then the next dnd on melee we run the boss over to the camp with the npc's in the back for more dps. |

| | Thats exactly what we do on rage too, we also call out the general location of the D&D in vent so people's brains can turn on and look to see if they are there. |
