Matt’s Notebook: Two more Progression Bosses Cleared

Had another big week last week as we entered the final days of October. It’s also much darker outside these days in the morning. Must be getting close to a time change. Shall we dive into it?

  • Broodtwister Cleared: This took much quicker than expected. It felt like we defeated Brood in under five attempts when we got there on Friday before putting shots on Princess. Much of that time was just spent getting accustomed to the pattern recognition and movement required. That kill looked extremely smooth. We’re 5-healing this one for safety. We need to rely on using defensives as much as possible just to survive. Our best on the weekend was around 22%. My biggest problem is during intermission where I’ve caught myself twice now moving early into a pie slice as it’s finishing the cast and getting myself killed. I need to be more patient.
  • Done with Heroic: The day has finally arrived where we’ve rotated Heroic out of our raid schedule. No Spymaster’s for me. Our raid gear average is now in the 630 range. This means that we will be starting raid extensions soon in a matter of weeks to finish out the rest of the tier.
  • Bloodbound Cleared: Over in Last Call, we pushed over Bloodbound and cleared that one before starting to make progress on Sikran. Got that Captain down to 9% as our best. We still need to work on our movement and circle recognition. I have a crew of heroic players that I must find a way to mold into mythic players. I fear some of them might be reaching their skill ceiling soon. We’ve had a lot of friendly fire incidents from player image drops being too close to each other (player) or other images.
  • Last Call Roster: A lot of that is also due to us starting to get a bit thin. We’ve gotten about four resignations or notices to be bench players because of time constraints and inability to fulfill the necessary requirements. Need to find ourselves a Rogue, Evoker, and Warlock to help reinforce our team.
  • Annulet: Speaking of greatest hits making a comeback, there appears to be another ring coming in soon with the next patch. Signs point to it being an annulet-like ring again. Wasn’t a fan of it last time, so who knows what changes they make to it in this iteration.
  • Still no Horsemen Mount: 20 years and no sighting. I don’t think it exists at all. Everyone else has clearly photoshopped their mount or something.

Alright, back to the grind!
