Just another relatively uneventful week of raiding over in my corner. Death Jesters is still working on Middnight Falls. We did end up seeing intermission a few times. The sheer scale and scope of just the planning required down to the interrupt rotation, crystal assignments (even grips), intermission positioning, and all that is sheer insanity. I think I’ve spent more time planning this one encounter than I have for all of the other encounters combined.
How about the Last Call team?
In my first major blunder of the season, I messed up the composition for Crown of the Cosmos. I ran two Priests (none of which are a Goblin or a Dracthyr). It was fortunate that one of our trial warriors had an Evoker lying around, and he offered to switch to playing it. Now I have to set up these inefficient grip assignments where our Evoker carries one, and the first Priest grips the second Priest. There’s also the Wyrmstone option that allows the Priest to teleport to the Evoker. What’s awful is if we lose the Evoker, it’s an automatic wipe since two of our healer Priests don’t have a natural way to get across. I gripe about the Mythic requirements, but I also understand that this is an exclusive part of the game, and the tools required are going to be strict. Some of my players have complained about it and lamented how it’s not fair, and blah blah blah. But I get it, the game has evolved to a point for Mythic where roster composition does play a part in the challenge.
I also wish I had trimmed the number of melee down further and stuck to ranged. Some of our melee guys appear to be fat and getting hit by things they shouldn’t be or there’s too much melee clutter and they’re tripping over each other, I’m not sure. We’ve been getting better at getting to 40% and trigger phase 3 on Crown ahead of schedule. Now we’re just trying to get more reps and solve the final phase. We’ve seen the final 3 platforms but are having some trouble maintaining health on the fifth set of tethers but I think we’ll get it this weekend.
DJs is still looking to recruit some healers. I can temporarily play as a Holy Priest or an Evoker myself since we’re going to be lacking a Priest buff (and Evoker utility). But we could also use another healer (any class). Come check us out!
