raid report: loot reaver and magtheridon tuesday

As you can tell from the title, we downed void reaver. We were 10% ahead of the timer pretty much the whole fight, and we basically 24 manned it since one of the priests was very unlucky and died right off the bat, in her defense this was the second time she'd ever fought the guy while the most the rest of us had 3 or more tries on him. Last time we tried him I think we failed only because we were bringing in several people that were not properly geared, just so we could at least get an attempt in. This time our powerhouse DPS team was on the job, and it showed.

Afterwards we had just enough time to one-shot Magtheridon, which we haven't done in a while. We almost wiped several times when our main tank and secondary tank both died within minutes of eachother, the final moments we were trying to burn him down with half the raid dead, barely beating his next blast wave cast with burst DPS.

raid report: taking lurker to school

Last night my guild and I rallied and after a few attempts finally killed lurker. Like I said before our problems were all just people making ridiculously stupid newbie mistakes such as "dont aggro a mob before a tank gets on it", "keep the CC CCed", and "get out of the way of the blue beam of death".

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that on Magtheridon we didn't have to worry about DPSing the mobs being CCed, and we had to DPS the channelers as fast as possible, which meant that it was the tanks who had to aggro at the pace at the DPS, rather than the DPS paying attention to their threat. Lurker works on a much leisurely pace and punishes you for trying to jump the gun and "speed things up" more than taking things at a steady, reliable pace.

Up next is Voidreaver. His fight mechanic doesnt seem too difficult, and from what I understand is that I have to soulshatter in the first few minutes so I can soulshatter again in the latter few minutes. (pew pew pew)
