Jetpacks and death grips, oh my. For the most part, the 10 man version of Lower Spire in the newly opened Icecrown Citadel went down without a hitch but I did hear from a friend his raid was not so lucky. They had an issue with the Deathbringer Saurfang encounter going buggy leaving them unable to start the encounter. On our run, poor Bronzebeard never did get released from the death grip, even after Saurfang was killed.
A debate did spring up after the raid whether this wing was easier or harder than normal ToC, the current standard for easy casual PUG raiding. We think it may be a bit harder because of some class limitations and role responsibilities, but not really that much harder. A little discipline goes a long way. We did agree the first wing of Ulduar was far harder, pre-nerf...
At least there was trash and rep to be had. And a nice old-fashioned epic ring faction upgrade questline to go along with the new Ashen Verdict reputation. Yes we know those big shouting skeletons can be 'disarmed' from spawning but we want those shiny new rep rings!
