Last night, it was my official opening fight on Naxx. Naxx reset on Tuesday morning and we started raid at 11 server time as usual. I was home about 10:30pm (did some exercises in gym) and went to shower. I logged on and got invitation from Dethno. Wass and renren were invited last night, too. So we guys were waiting beros to log. Somehow we waited for 15 mins and no sign to see beros to log. Dethno and Wiseman decided to clear mobs in Arachnid Quarter while waiting. It was easy to clear mobs. When we were at boss room: Anub'Rekhan, we decided to try on 9 men on that. Sherider explained the fight that renren would OT the adds and Dethno would deal with Anub'Rekhan. Once the Locust Swarm casted, Dethno would run around like a circle pattern while all of us stay on the far side to dps/heal. It was not easy but the best we could bring the boss down to 14% of health. So Wiseman invited a helpful melee, SirTank, to replace Beros slack. With a heavy dps arm warrior, we brought down the boss smoothly. Then, we forgot about beros absence and Dethno commented that beros would not receive the DKP for showing up on time. It was like the class attendance in college. LOL.
2nd boss on Arachnid Quarter was Grand Widow Faerlina was not a bad one. I think we got her at 2nd attempt (or one shot her?). We just killed three of the follower who could be mind-controlled and prevented Grand Widow Faerlina to frenzy. We did with one left and we nailed her. It was massive fight that i needed to avoid her AOE (rain of fire) and healed thru her Poison bolt volley. Good run.
3rd boss on Arachnid Quarter Maexxna was a hard one. We had like couple wiped on that. Some notes I needed to remind myself. 1st, Abolish Poison must cast all the time. 2nd, Wild growth for raid is really helpful. By noticing 2 notes, that was a tank and spank fight with abolish poison + all HoTs casted all the time on MT. My mana was drained so bad even with a shadow priest to recharge. But I would know better and did better on next time hehe.
It was about 1:30pm when we cleared Arachnid Quarter. We head to Military Quarter to clear Instructor Razuvious to conclude our night. The boss fight was so fun. Tanks would control 2 mobs to tank the boss. Dps would focus on boss. As explaining on this boss, tanks must taunt the boss: Instructor Razuvious with shield wall on and the control debuff will expire on each minute. It was a fun run. We did one shot him and killed accordingly. My druid waist Girdle of Lenience didn’t drop last night. I hope it would be dropped soon.
