More fun in Ulduar this week - yesterday was the best raid I've been in for a while (even though it was only 10 man normal mode). We worked on them for hours, and finally we managed to defeat the Iron Council (or whatever Blizz renamed them as... still not sure why) on hard mode.
There are 3 bosses together; the order you kill them in makes the fight easier or harder. As the first dies, the other 2 gain an extra ability each. When the second dies, the third gains a second additional ability. Steelbreaker last is hard mode; his second ability is to instantly kill the main tank after 1 min. When someone dies, he heals 15% total hps. So the idea is to get him to around 20-30% before the MT dies, then have a second tank taunt just as the debuff ticks down to kill the MT. Boss hps go up to 35-45% and you need to down him fast before he kills the next tank and gains another 15%.
Awesome fight. And then we went on in the last 30 minutes to one-shot Thorim, who is incredibly easy. We'll have to try hard mode on him next time (clear his gauntlet in 3 mins; he keeps a buff increasing his damage and hps by 25% - should be easy enough). |
