Well after about 4 nights of solid attempts on the Vashj, the “bitch” is dead. No longer protected by her stupid shield generators (come on Blizz, this is Warcraft not Star Wars Galaxies, what up with these shield generators), twenty five strong we burned her down through Phase 2.
The night started out very well, first attempt 3 generators down. As each attempt came and gone we tweaked little pieces. Our final attempt was a thing of beauty on the sheild generators. Striders were dying with 8-10 seconds before the next one would pop, Elites where hunching over in pure agony as his brother would spawn.
Lots of vent communication to toss the cores to the right people. On the last shield generator, we had one Strider and one Elite, the perfect expected amount. Arrows flew, frostbolts flared, and lightning crackled through the air to burn down that Stirder. Shadowbolts whipped past our Legioniares through a consecrate to Enchanted Elementals still pushing there way to Vashj. Like a tree in a forest, Strider do make a sound when they fall.
Blades turning and paws clawing blendered that last Elite to a bloody pulp. While shield of our tank slammed into the wannabe Medusa, heals and hot where rolling flawlessly. When everyone started focusing on Vashi all 25 of us were alive with adreanline pumping.
The Final Stage
Our first true try on Phase 3 was before us. “Avoid the green Shit!” was the over used motto over vent. Sporebats started spawning like bees from a hive after you have super soaked it down. One by one the poison would takes it’s toll, perhaps a healer in the midst of a crucial tank heal and could not move, or the melee who would be rooted in place. People were running and moving all over the place, and soon there was more green then an Irish Pub on St. Patty’s Day. ”5%! Green Shit! Move!” some one yelled over vent, potions were popped, healthstones on cooldown, all combat rezzs used, 13 people left.
4%, we lose another dpser and healer, my heart sank, the 1% wipe curse emerged in my head.
3%, tank is still alive, lose one more to the green shit.
2%, the entire instance look green, but 10 still alive and strong, I know we got her..
1%, green all around me, 4 seconds to rapid fire is up again, I can’t move. I am praying Sevron keeps her in range. Then the splattering of green is everywhere, 2 seconds to move, but it is covering everything. Rapid Fire is up, I decide to take the some damage and blow my cooldowns. 1 tick, 1500 damage, pop rapid fire, 2 ticks, another 1500 damage, trinket is up, Bloodlust away, 3 ticks, 1500 more half life, pot, 4 ticks, 1500 more, 5 ticks, I look at the raid 10 people, no one at full life, Sev at 80%, some are below 50%. This seemed like the longest 1% every. 6 ticks, I am hit by overlapping poision 3000 damage, I know I am dead as I can survive another one. I look to the ground for a safe spot, just then the cheerful yells come over vent.
She was dead, and we were alive.
