Blood God Damned
So we go back into ZG, last Tuesday. Early shift suffered a bit from being over-warriored, an issue we've had before. We got Bat down, but had some issues, otherwise. We'd lead off on Panther, in an attempt to kick start a clear to Hakkar. Unfortunately, we weren't able to seal the deal on her. Late shift gave Spider and Venoxis their marching papers, and we left the two cats for Early shift Thursday to sort out.
The interesting thing about our new warlock "cage tank" approach to Panther, is that it really has proven to take a Destruction lock to wrap up the panthers that spawn from the cages. Unless you have a mage in lots of high AC, +Stam PvP gear. Where on earth would we find such a thing?
Hmmm...
Two attempts on Panther (one for learning that when AOE caster gets marked, somebody else needs to handle said Area of Effect) and she was toast. Despite our best efforts to prevent it, Mewgai was on his druid when the Will of Arlokk dropped. Crazy mad props to him for finally being able to land just the second one of those that have dropped! An additional attempt on Tiger, and the path to Hakkar was clear! And it hit right at the shift change. Late shift wanted to see about doing Bloodlord as a warmup. Mandokir crumpled like a limp dishrag.
Now, it's important to realize that there were less than half a dozen of us that were there for Sunday's takedown of Hakkar. The group was willing, and we had nothing to lose at that point. The clear of the pyramid was impeccable. As I told Zayd, in recap, when it came to clearing the Blood Priests and co., it was "a level of sheep veneration not seen since the Scottish Isle" :D
This was Hoof's run, but he'd requested that Zarjani and myself handle the explanation of the fight. Z gave the rundown of what to do with the Sons, and I dealt with Hakkar, himself. Luckily, some of the return Pods from Sunday, were myself, Zarjani, Hoof, and Yeovil. (Yeovil was responsible for the uber-hawt tanking and pulling of the Sons of Hakkar to position them for the kill).
I'd brought Amp for the clear of the whole instance, but again, I brought in Echuta to help do the heavy lifting on tanking Hakkar. Immaculata was kind enough to donate a Flask of the Titans to myself and Hoof, on Sunday. Since I logged off Echuta after downing Hakkar Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still had 1h 25m left on my +1200 hp buff. Hotness.
In the interest of keeping it brief- A totally different group of Pods took this bastard down. Having a few of us who'd just done it earlier on in the week was just the feather for Dumbo to clutch onto. Well done Pods. Another fine victory!
PS- I got my Bloodsoaked Legplates. Only the Aegis and Mandokir's Sting left for me from the ZG gift shop.
