Death to the General!!!!

OK many of you have done this already. My guild has done this already. But I had never seen the fight before. Sure I watched the TS vids like all good raiders should be I still find there is nothing like experiencing it. Let me lay it all down for ya.
We had 3 tanks on this Uld 25 run. Our guild MT(prot war), new tank (prot war), and me(BEAR). Obviously General only needs 1 tank so I am cat spec, cat form. The new tank doesn’t really have dps gear but hey whatever. The GMT goes running in. 2 min into fight shes dead. WOW that dude hits hard! We do not do the kitting method. Not sure why I just do what I am told. OK buff and back in dead in under 30seconds I think. Hmmmm. We might have a problem here. Think we gave it 1 more try and 2min mark again. Maybe less. So there I sit. Thinking please don’t call it please don’t call it. Then the RL speaks up. This guy is hilarious. Hey you druid guy. Go bear, do many threat. Don’t get hit, make boss dead collect epics. Yes my chance has arrived.
So after changing specs and gear I rebuff to bear. Get ready and in we go. Died 5 min into fight do to getting antsy with my cool downs and finding myself with none during a surge. Decision is made GL logs from Mage and gets priest. Now we finally have a fort buff. Back in we go. Cool down rotations work so much better when you do them right. General is dead. Even with my Hi Stam set I managed 6k TPS. Woot. No drops but man what a kill. My 1st big boss that tanking was all on me. I considered Decon a joke even when Uld was new. MT doesn’t have much to do with Decon. But General, General was a rush. One I haven’t had in WoW for quite some time.
The next day I got a chance to parse the logs to WWS. I don’t think I did too bad. Dodged 3 out of 4 attacks for the most part. Never got hit 2 times in a row. Used cool downs and trinks on strict rotation so they could be used during surge. Didn’t use any during rest of fight since I really didn’t need to. Hit Berserk every chance I got.
We went and looked at Yogg’s room but the raid was done for the night do to our time windows. Hard stop at 11pm.
What a fight. What a rush. What a great feeling getting the good job whispers afterwards. We spent Sunday evening getting our butts handed to us on Yogg. I know the guildies who have done him before where getting mad. Mistakes were made but everyone agreed there was definite progression from the new people that had never seen fight before. He will go down this week. Sure of it!

Yogg is not too bad once you get the hang of it. We had issues with clipping clouds and not getting people out of constrictors quickly, but as soon as everyone is in the groove it's a fairly straight forward fight.Posted 07-20-2009 at 08:17 PM by Spazlord
