Unbearably HoT is currently having moderate formatting problems. Please bear (HAHA GET IT) with me while I attempt to fix the issue. Sorry for any folks who read the RSS! EDIT: Big thank-you to Phaelia from Resto4life for helping me troubleshoot. And by troubleshoot, I mean totally fixing my mess.
Sathrovarr’s been vanquished. Kalecgos can fly off and inevitably get possessed again, as those pesky dragons tend to do, and there’s only two trash pulls between the raid and Brutallus. You toasted Illidan—you were prepared. This guy doesn’t have any adds, and he dual wields just like Illybeans. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Wrong. Brutallus effectively makes Illidan look like a flame-spouting Girl Scout and brings back nostalgic memories of the gear test Patchwerk presented in Naxxxramas.
Regardless, you’re optimistic. The raid easily dispatches the token trash pulls and charges into the Den of Iniquity. Suddenly, you’re greeted by exceptionally bad voice acting and a panoramic view of the Dead Scar:
“Hold friends! There is information to be had before this devil meets his fate!”
Madrigosa, the chick blue dragon who you can see taunting Brutallus during “Distraction at the Dead Scar”, bids you sit quietly and wait while she tries to grill the enormous pit lord. The scenic vista seals up with a sheet of impenetrable ice* and you essentially get to watch a psionic death match that sounds like it’s dubbed over by the original American voice actors from DBZ. Despite some cool giant-beam-of-death shit, Madrigosa dies in a dramatic heap, and Brutallus turns his attention to the raid. With a cry of challenge, he tilts his head back and roars, shattering the ice and sending your raid flying. None of us were expecting it the first time, and it’s particularly awesome seeing a bear soaring through the air. The once dynamic Brutallus now sits dormant in the Dead Scar, patiently waiting for your raid to take thirty-five minutes to figure out how they’d like to set up.
<Singularity> downs Felmyst, 5.7.08!
In actuality, I wasn’t even there. Well, technically I was sitting outside the instance, but while I’d been in for some exceptionally close learning attempts, last night we decided to sit a few of the melee and stack casters for more damage while she was flying. Obviously it worked, and grats to everyone who was in for it! Hopefully I’ll get in on her soon—she’s got two of the really big upgrades for me. Either way, we’ll be farming her for quite some time. The fight itself isn’t hard; in fact, I’d say it’s a lot easier than Brutallus. Felmyst requires coordinated movement, however, and that’s something <Singularity> has never been great at. Healing, in particular, is difficult on the run, and that coupled with timing Mass Dispels definitely keeps folks busy. Being a druid here naturally kicks ass—Incoming Breath? Hop into Travel Form and peace out. Oh, and a pally tank? Pretty much a must, in my opinion.
