I thought I hated Sindragosa when we were trying to kill her in normal mode.\u00c2\u00a0 Heroic mode took my hatred to new and amazing heights.\u00c2\u00a0 I just wish it had taken less time as well.<\/p>\n
It was Monday night, which is usually an off night for us so it took us awhile to get started.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, we were just about to call it when my guildmate showed up.\u00c2\u00a0 We geared up and headed out almost 45 minutes past our normal start time.<\/p>\n
The fight was much the same yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 We had multiple people getting hit with the Ice Tomb<\/a>, people getting slaughtered by the Frost Bombs<\/a> and incidental deaths from Unchained Magic<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, we had all three on the first try!<\/p>\n During the air phase, our dps Druid got too close and got Ice Tombed.\u00c2\u00a0 I then set myself up to be behind one tomb, dpsing the third when I got killed by the Frost Bomb.\u00c2\u00a0 (Which confused me because I could have sworn I had both Ice Tombs between me and the bomb!)\u00c2\u00a0 And I got battle-rezzed and died again in Phase 2 when someone with Unchained Magic huddled behind the Ice Tomb with the rest of us.<\/p>\n And it was a lot of the silly mistakes that killed us.\u00c2\u00a0 While we’d get to Phase 2, usually we’d lose at least one person in Phase 1, requiring a battle-rez.\u00c2\u00a0 People would then stand in the wrong place causing multiple Ice Tombs in Phase 2.\u00c2\u00a0 Or people placing the Ice Tomb too far away that the tank couldn’t clear his stacks of Mystic Buffet<\/a> correctly or too close where we couldn’t remove the stacks either!\u00c2\u00a0 I know the latter happened when I\u00c2\u00a0was practically humping the Ice Tomb but couldn’t remove the stacks.<\/p>\n Eventually we got phase 1 down pat.\u00c2\u00a0 That was even again with the Frost Bomb coming down practically on top of the Ice Tomb.\u00c2\u00a0 Took awhile, but were getting our placements and timing down.\u00c2\u00a0 I just wonder how many people were eating Frost Bombs in normal mode when they really shouldn’t have.<\/p>\n Phase 2 was\u00c2\u00a0our big obstacle.\u00c2\u00a0 People were again\u00c2\u00a0getting Ice Tomb’ed because they stood too close to the target.\u00c2\u00a0 And other times the guys with Unchained Magic wouldn’t clear their\u00c2\u00a0debuffs and would explode close enough to the rest of us to take us out.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n A couple of times we also hit the Ice Tomb fast enough that the tank didn’t have time to clear the stacks.\u00c2\u00a0 We eventually solved that problem by waiting until after the second Ice Tomb to start the switching tank game.\u00c2\u00a0 Even then, we were still getting wiped over and over.<\/p>\n Which is why Sindragosa probably calls us “fools” during the opening monologue to th fight.\u00c2\u00a0 We tried several adjustments but they just didn’t work.\u00c2\u00a0 We were already about to head into our 20 of 50 heroic attempts when we decided to adjust the tanks position so that we can Ice Tomb at the same spots we do for the air phase.<\/p>\n And even then people were still getting multi-tombed!\u00c2\u00a0 It really shouldn’t be that hard.\u00c2\u00a0 If Sindragosa is facing East, the Ice Tomb is on the West side and you are West of it.\u00c2\u00a0 Then vice-versa when Sindragosa was facing west.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone should be behind the blocks but people were still out in the open, next to where the next Ice Tomb was going to be!<\/p>\n But eventually we adjusted and I liked the new positioning as well.\u00c2\u00a0 It made it hard for me to judge when I was out of range for the Blistering Cold<\/a> but we reduced the timing and mistakes during the air phase, plus it greatly simplified the “too close\/too far” issue.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
