Quote:Grats! Go back for a second kill at some point. The relief of a first kill is amazing, but the fight itself is a lot more fun the second time around, when there is a lot less stress and worry involved (or maybe that was just a raid leader problem).

Quote:Grats!

Quote:You know it was funny. It wasn't until the second gravity lapse that I realized that I didn't need to worry about pyroblasts anymore. I mean I knew they weren't coming anymore but my animal-brain hadn't come to that knowledge.:)

Quote:Haha awesome. What role did you take in the kill?

As the prot pally, I had phase 2 to shine, tanking 3 weapons, and was just a cheerleader for the rest of the fight, for the most part.

Phase 1 I tanked nothing. Phase 3 I ran around after Thaladred yelling out target changes and warning healers if he was waltzing their general direction. Phase 4 and 5 I was one of two tanks in charge of picking up Phoenixes, but the other tank was so good at it I spent both phases cheerleading (calling when phoenixes hit 20% so dps would be ready to switch, telling people to move if a flamestrike hit in their area, etc).

I gave everyone a good 2-3 week off from even looking at TK after the Kael kill. Enough of our regular raiders, after the shouting and cheering on vent, said "F*** that guy" that I didn't prod them back into TK for a while. When we did, it was fun though.

Quote:I was the MT.

Phase 1 - dancing with Thaladred until he died then dancing with various rogues, druids and warriors afterward.
Phase 2 - Tanking shield and sword.
Phase 3 - Follow Thaladred around applying the dagger debuff.
Phase 4 - Kael
Phase 5 - Die twice
Phase 6 - Pass on loot. =)

Quote:Phase 7 - Pick up Ring in Caverns of Time.

Right?

Grats again. Huge accomplishment.

Quote:What annoyed me most is when he Gravity Lapsed at 1% and I got away from everyone and then started raining down Incinerates thinking, "why won't you die you bastard?!"

Although we did get a screw job before he went down. Just as the GL was ending, he fired off one last beam as people were falling to the ground. Where during the GL no one was withing range to change the beam, when we were falling to the ground, we set up a chain and one of the priests took a pretty big *zot* from the beam and died.
