Yeah, it's going to be a close one for us, as well. Gothik should die this week, so it's all a matter of how long it takes us to get a handle on the Four Horsemen.
Quote:11. Loatheb. I've lowered him because random crap is becoming less and less consequential. That he, of all the lower-Naxxramas fights, STILL needs Flasks of Supreme Power bothers me a lot. You still need to drink every DPS enhancing potion, use every DPS enhancing weapon buff, and drink 3 Greater Shadow Protection Potions as the cherry on top. He's not hard, per se, but the absurd materials cost functions as a kind of difficulty, in way. Needless to say, his stupid-DPS-check-ness is also a high gear requirement, which is why he ends up so high on this list.
We've killed him two weeks in a row now -- both on first shots when we use potions. We have our system down like most guilds -- greater shadow protection potion here, bandage here, tuber/healthstone here -- etc. and theorycrafted and practiced it to a precision such that we can probably beat him with just your run of the mill flasks and consumables. However, since the last thing we want to do is use all those consumables and barely lose due to some fluke or mistake, we decide to overkill him. After practicing once or twice to make sure that everyone knows what to do in the fight, we then port out and get all the world buffs we can quickly conjure up. Last week, it was the Zandalar buff from turing in the Hakkar Head, the +10% damage Darkmoon Faire buff, and the Northpass Tower buff (extra health). This week, it was the Wickerman buff, the Zandalar buff, and the Northpass tower buff. We have Rend and Onyxia heads ready to turn in for future weeks. Our philosophy is that if you have to spend all that money and time gathering all those consumables, you might as well overkill him and make sure Loetheb dies the first time.
