However its the butterflies that are gone. The anticipation. The anxiety. The hope. Mostly gone. I still want to get the drake because faster flight is pure win, but my jury is out on whether I'd don the title or not. Too anticlimactic at this point.<BR/><BR/>So they'll release Ulduar and all the T7 stuff will be less meaningful, so we can get butterflies over the T8 equivalent XDAmavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455843297167787383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728842525831292167.post-25640277642710509032009-04-06T21:19:00.000-04:002009-04-06T21:19:00.000-04:00Ya man, last week was a real disappointment. The ...Ya man, last week was a real disappointment. The worst part is that it's starting to feel completely beyond our individual control to get this achievement.<BR/><BR/>I think of it this way: it seems like there is a roughly 1 out of 3 chance that someone will die during any given encounter. And when those odds are spread out over 17 encounters, they all but guarantee that someone will be dead at some point during a fight, keeping us from getting the title.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I still get pumped up every time we go in Naxx. I always have the feeling that this might be the time that it all comes together and we get it right. I don't think that anything will ever remove that hope from me, but I find myself increasingly thinking of it as something that is beyond my personal control.<BR/><BR/>Let me put it another way. I used to think of getting the Immortal like I thought of getting into college. While there are no guarantees that any one school will accept you, if you put in the work then at some point you will probably get in somewhere. Similarly, there is no guarantee that any one Naxx raid will lead to getting an Immortal title, but I thought that if we put the proper work in, it was bound to work out for us eventually. Now, however, I think of it like I think of winning the lottery. Ya, you can catch lightning in a bottle, but it's not the kind of thing that you should count on.<BR/><BR/>I hate to be so down on this, and as always I'll do my part every week to helping us get the achievement, but the combination of two straights weeks of epic fail on the 2nd boss in the instance, combined with the salt-in-the-wound cheering that we heard over vent from someone else getting the achievement, has sapped a lot of the optimism from me. :\<BR/><BR/>See you tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>"Once more unto the breech, dear friends..."Echehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756156967019793149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728842525831292167.post-26623432542712798652009-04-02T19:21:00.000-04:002009-04-02T19:21:00.000-04:00Of course its the pressure of the thing that leads...Of course its the pressure of the thing that leads people to stuff up. How many times have you seen someone die on Gothik? I can only think of 1 time on either 10 or 25 since we started Naxx 5 months ago.<BR/><BR/>As for us we like to get that stuff out of the way early - Safety Dance? we have 1 or 2 people dc every second fight. My personal favourite is the person who can't figure out right from left on Thaddius and runs right into 6 people with the opposite charge.<BR/><BR/>I am interested as to what strategy you are using with 4 horseman that would make the chaining a problem though.<BR/><BR/>We just have a bear tank or warrior tank actually tank Zeliek and leave our melee dps'ers over on the other one - the holy bolt only chains over a 10 yard range so as long as you only have ranged dps + 1 or 2 tanks on him it shouldn't be an issue. Of course it might take about 15 seconds longer but that isn't an issue if your looking for immortal. <BR/><BR/>The reason to use a warrior or bear is for their charge (the switch over is the only time that you might get a chain). Just have your melee pull back out to let their stacks wear off rather than swap over. Besides, it almost guarantees they will be lower on the damage meters....<BR/><BR/>SilkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
