Quote:Overall, I was a little surprised about how routine and easy Luci was. We had people who knew we needed to de-curse and de-magic and really that is all the info we needed. The fight is easier than Venoxis in that there are no boss "Phases" or transitions. Luci doesn't hit hard or do anything to screw with aggro, or really much at all. And we probably actually killed her with 30 people or so given what happened in the beginning, I guess a lot has to do with average "blue" gearing levels compared to when MC was released. I guess I have to figure Luci is the first boss for a reason. Teach people to coordinate who is de-cursing and who is healing / DPSing, etc...
He's not that bad, really, especially if you have folks who know what to expect, and can help prep the group a bit. Simply knowing things like "4 mages have to decurse, and decurse only" sorts of things, can turn a couple of hours of wipes into a successful shot.
It sounds like you've got a good group, and I know several of the folks in that group from Stormrage. MC will get a bit harder, but also more fun (IMHO, after 10 months or so, I still enjoy going and beating on things in there). Gear does help quite a bit, but the skill of the player also comes heavily into factor. If you have a good group with good raid situational awareness, you'll be beating on things in there in no time.
Personally, I find that I really enjoy the Geddon and Domo fights. Geddon...well, he's the bomb, s'all you can say. Domo...even nearly a year later, he can really only best be described as semi-controlled chaos. But Bo-Peep has fun.;)
Good work guys, keep it up.
