So in between packing for my move and making trips to IKEA (which brought back memories of lingonberries and herring from my trip to Stockholm last December), we decided to go for a progression week in Kara, which we haven't been able to do for a couple of weeks due to people's summer schedules. Prince was particularly fun this week as we have gotten really good at moving as a group to avoid bad infernal drops. We then went for Nightbane, which if I remember correctly, we'd previously tried only one full night.
I think what got us the first two tries were during the skellies/rain of bones/smoking blast. The softies and I were getting a whole lot of damage. He would target me and I just wasn't healing myself enough. Then I read that during smoking blast he targets those with the most threat, typically a healer. So the last try, as hard as it was, I had to try to just ignore other people's green bars, and kept overhealing myself and popped a yummy cookie that Buns made for us. I know I've been healing a long time now, and a dead healer does nobody any good, but its still hard for me to heal myself above others. Also during the last try, the softies moved a little further away from Wut and rain of bones.
Anyways, so we got him down on the third try, then I asked Ricochet to take his big bad axe and chop off Nightbane's left claw as a souvenir, because well... we are The Left Claw are we not?

ReplyDeleteGrats, TLC!
Congrats TLC!
ReplyDeleteOne dragon down one more to go correct?
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I learned after a few wipes that made Nightbane a lot easier is to get someone to focus on dispelling Smoking Blast.
It adds a DoT that gives 3,000 fire damage over 18 seconds and if it's not dispelled it can very quickly end up on multiple people. When a priest or pally can use an instant to get rid of it, you shouldn't be healing through that.
Congrats again! This was a tough nut for our guild to crack too (^_^)
