You know how I said I tend to favor guild-dominated runs? I still do, but tonight was a reminder that they, too, are imperfect.

The team I was with was pretty close to ironing out the last burps and kinks in stomping Sindragosa in her not-Ridley face (no, really, she’s pretty much Ridley with a Rita Repulsa-like voice) and someone in the guild’s group ragequits so hard he also gquit ALL of his other alts… or so that’s what I heard over Vent from everyone else. While this spelled an obvious end to this ICC10, at least it didn’t implode because of something I did.

Sindragosa… really isn’t that hard compared to the other not-LK ICC bosses, really. If anything, each phase just adds something extra onto the previous, in a way that’s quite manageable. Unchained Magic is easily dealt with, by just slowing down a bit (in Yoshi’s case, it was simply a matter of bringing her spell rotation down to 3 Arcane Blasts + Arcane Missiles as opposed to the usual 5x Blasts + Missiles + Barrage). At least, that’s what it seems for me. If anyone’s a pain to deal with, it’s probably Rotface because of HOLY SMOO SLIME ALL OVER; it and slime spray make finding the goo-kiting tank a little hard to find at times, but even that becomes second nature after a few encounters.

This, of course, is speaking for 10-man normal… and 25-man isn’t that much of a stretch, either (aside from, you know, the logistical mess of herding 25 doods around)… Being able to do Heroic modes would be nice but not essential.

There is still Leslie, who hasn’t used up either her 10 or 25-man slots, and surely there will be plenty of last-minute ICC teams tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get lucky and she’ll get a shot at mr. Lich King. And, worst case… everything resets on Tuesday anyway.

I WILL have Kingslayer so I can taunt my brother with it before Cataclysm (“You are special snowflake NO MORE!” Bonus win if I send it as an audio message in a Magica DeSpell voice XD). That much is for sure. Bwahahaha. Really, this isn’t meant to be jerky at all, more of a bop on the nose for pooh-poohing me early on but not doing much to help. :P That, and bro gets the added bonus of me finally being able to raid alongside him consistently when the expansion hits. It will have taken 2 years, but gear and raid knowledge disparity shall separate us no more!
