raid report: reminding myself why i hate ZA

Our guild doesn't really run ZA agressively at all. We've downed the Lynx boss, but we don't take it nearly as seriously as 25-man bosses, where we are required to study strategies before the first pull.

Part of the problem is that we haven't learned the content, so we end up wiping on something that is supposed to be "post Karazhan Level", with a team of people that can flash fry Nightbane and Prince. The bear boss and the trash leading up to him are bearable (PUN!). But then we get to the Eagle boss and our strategy still isnt perfect. His gauntlet is really annoying, and when we do fight him our agreed upon strategy is to collapse just before he launches somone into the air, but this leaves us super wide open for his Static Disruption. Personally I think this might be dealing fatal blows to us, since the debuff from his chain lightning is quite punishing.


We tried not killing the birds the first two times but it wasn't working out at all. While DPS can handle a few interruptions, our healers aren't geared enough to a point where they can handle interruptions and heal the raid.


We were getting ready for our fourth attempt, when we hit the gauntlet respawn timer. 30 minutes is entirely too short for learning the encounter. Thats when we decided to stop the raid and go off to Karazhan, chain pulling our way through Opera before calling it a night.
