The
Old Guard continued down the endless halls, tunnels and platforms of
Heroic Ny'alotha, wishing Qiraji battle tanks were viable once more. We opted to go straight for the tentacles and head down the spiral tunnel to take on
Shaggy the Green Pooper first. After getting an earful from their healers, the tanks learned that using DBM didn't really help much for taunt notifications in the fight and just made it more confusing. With addons shut off and tanks actually paying attention to the poopers casts, the fight went down pretty easily.
After the fight, melee had enough of the insta-melee-gib trash pulls in the tunnels so we ran up and right past the soccer arena to take on
Tetris and Kazoo. The raid once again learned the importance of how to focus fire down boss adds and dodge roly polys. If you kill marked targets and dodge things, you can usually win!
With the bugs down, our raid leader reluctantly decided it was time to play soccer against, the
Soccer Boss! There is no greater thrill in raiding then watching with clenched butts if 3 raid members can navigate through laggy internet connections and wonky collision detection to rocket league a floating ball into a goal while avoiding obstacles. Truly sadistic torture for even the most patient souls. Thankfully it went down pretty quickly.
(Little did we know that in later weeks the
Soccer Boss received a buff called "complacency" that made a kill take 45 minutes. Hmmmm.....)
We let
Queen Azshara go, because, well its Warcraft and we always let our former enemy bosses go. We're buddies now since we kicked her butt one tier ago, just like in all shounen manga. Remember, this is an expansion of many shades of gray.. Hah! Anyway, we figured we might as well go take on the last not-end of wing boss,
Tentacles. After beating on all the tentacles for approximately 36 minutes, it plopped over and dropped loots. Well, loots magically appeared in our backpacks.. Usually in the form of an item called artifact power, something extremely valuable at this point of the expansion... Shade of gray!
All the not-end of wing bosses have been downed. Time to work on the serious stuff....
