Yogg down and out!
Posted 07-28-2009 at 09:47 AM by Sylvaneart
It’s has been an awesome week. Our 25 man cleared to yogg in 1.5 nights. We waited until Sunday so we would have plenty of time on Yogg. We still had some newer people in guild so it was gona be a learning thing for half the raid. Well RL got in the way and we cancelled do to attendance. That was a bummer but not to worry. I was leading a 10 man group also.
Our 1st night on the 10man teams was a good one. We cleared everything except Mimi, General, and Yogg. So on Monday we went back in. My OT was a no-show. A ret we had in group said he would love to tank. So he switched to Prot and in we went. Personally I like tanking with a prot pally. I feel it complements my bear nicely. While waiting for our final healer to get done with his arena we cleared trash to Mimi.
This being our 1st run as a group we decided not to try any new hard modes. Also some of these toons were alts. So we did Mim regular. I had never tanked Mimi before only DPS. I wasn’t exactly sure on the cool downs or when the taunt came. Well we learned that a 25man geared bear with tons of mitigation can take 3 blasts. I quickly yelled for taunt at that point. We wiped on P1 because I asked for taunt and he went right into the big lightning blast and my slow butt didn’t get out in time. Next try went fine. I was really happy with how well people listened when they needed to switch on segments. Great group.
So, on to General. OK let me start by saying I LOVE THIS FIGHT! I get to stand there and just see how much TPS I can produce, non stop. For a tank this is almost as easy as Decon. As a druid I only have 3 cooldowns. I find it works best to use bark skin for 1st surge. Survival Instincts + Frenzy Regen for 2nd. 3rd I can use Barkskin again. 4th I use a trink. 5th just starts everything over. I have no idea how the rest of the group was doing. I couldn’t see them really. All I cared about was the fire being interrupted and no one died. The 25 man version actually seemed less hectic.
Yogg. I have yet to beat him in 25man. This will be fixed this Sunday. I had yet to beat him 10man also. This would be my 1st 10 man attempt at Yogg and my 1st attempt MT him. I figure everyone had to have there 1st MT of him so whatever. We got our assignments straight and in we went. OK this really sucks. It took me a couple shots at Ignis to learn that standing on the edge of his Scorch graphic does not count. Well with Yogg standing near a cloud but not in it does count. We had A LOT of adds. Ok reset and go again. We got to P2 but our healer assigned to go in portal got gripped right as he was going in. Reset and we did it. It was nice to get 3 achievements from 1 fight. Got Secrets of Ulduar, Decent into Madness, and Drive me Crazy. I must say I am rather proud of myself for MT every boss in 10 Uld now. Most of it was do to my stellar group.
The royal Seal of King Llain dropped off Yogg. This trink is #2 BiS for me right now do to its 155 Stam. Now our loot rules are very simple. Since this was a guild run we knew each others Main Specs. Roll for main 1st then roll off 2nd. Our 25mans use DKP. Tanking was the pallys off spec so I was gona take that trink until I looked closer. Not only does it have 155 stam but it has a use. Increase parry rating by 380 (7.73% @ L80) for 20 sec. (2 Min Cooldown). As much As I wanted that trink and it was my right to take it, I just couldn’t take it from someone else that can get 2 benefits from it. He was in the middle of telling me it was cool if I took it (I could hear the want in his voice) when I looted it to him. Funny thing was he kept talking for like 3 more min when someone said Hey *** check your bags fool.
So in recap. We cleared Uld10. I MTed the whole thing. Let awesome trink go to off spec. But I am pretty sure I earned some respect and a new friend. This was indeed a good week.
