Ulduar Easy Mode

Ulduar Easy Mode

Bob finally saw the inside of Ulduar. This was for the weekly raid, this time to kill XT-002 Deconstructor. Ulduar has been nerfed quite a bit, this was evident from the very first boss. To activate the easy mode of Flame Leviathan no longer required players to kill all the
towers of the Keepers. It could now be started by an option when the event is started. We rode straight up to FL and one shot him.

The trash to XT was always a pain for Sinister Blades. Until we
perfected our "One tank hold everything while one mob is peeled away" technique, we would wipe more on trash than XT him/her self. Our MT for this group felt that we would be fine... and we were. He tanked everything and everything was simply AOEd down. XT went down in one-shot with me being #2 dps with 6.5k (evil grin).

We were informed that those who wanted could stay to do Kologarn. I offered to switch to Hotplate to help tank the adds leading up to Kolo. The MT said we should be fine. They had me simply banish one of the elementals and we got through the trash without much difficulty. Kologarn actually wiped us, from an unfortunate eye beam/adds/positioning shot. Our next try got him down.

Its amazing how different Ulduar is. I remember doing the raid on
Hooff. Everyone had to be at the top of their game. 100% attention or it would be a wipe. Now a rag-tag PUG 9-manned it in 1 shot.

I want to try ICC.
