Spyglass!

So, we did get in to SSC Thursday for those of you who have waited with baited breath for me to say. [item]Spyglass of the Hidden Fleet[/item] dropped, and I handed it to our druid OT who reported quickly that you can use it in forms, thank God. I won the roll, and wouldn't have passed on such a great trinket simply to have it become a weak [item]Goblin Rocket Launcher[/item] without the rocket brigade membership functionality. Gratz Kelan!

Our Lurker attempts did not go well. I had worried since it was so many raids since our last attempt we'd have problems, and we were almost at square one. With the exception that the "keep the tank in hot water" strat does seem to pay off, I was rarely if ever booted away from the fish. We need a better strat on the adds; right now it seems to be "have the palla tank try to pick up the three avengers" and I'm not really sure what they're doing there on the outer platforms. I do know that the avengers are eating our healers, who in turn can't keep the pallatank up for three avengers, and we lose too much healing and DPS beyond that to be effective.

We -are- getting the hang of swimming at the right time, and lose fewer and fewer people to spout and whirl. This is progress!

Bugger how the trash timer for Lurker doesn't protect you during the fight. During our last attempt the fish came back to life with all of us in the water. Our happiness about the lack of the scalding water debuff was very short lived.

Ah well, we'll figure it out. Took us a while to get HKM and Gruul straight too.

Wish us luck. Again.
