Matt’s Notebook: 5/8 Mythic with Fractilus Cleared!

Another eventful week, and I expect things will slow up a bit from here on out. This might be the fastest we’ve progressed through a tier so far.

  • Death Jesters polishes off Fractillus. Big throughput and damage heavy boss from what I’ve seen. Lots of positioning is required, and having assigned zones and areas for players to stand in. It looks real fun and I can’t wait to take a crack at it.
  • Now we backtrack and start working on Soul Hunters. I drew back into the lineup here (from four to five healers). Our best attempt was getting them down to 3%. There was so much going on with the extra third dispel. Another week of gear and we’ll be in a good position to clear it this week. It’s really fun once we get through the overall cadence.
  • Over in Last Call, we’ve added two new healers to the squad and their first week has been productive overall. We did get through our reclear. I was hoping we could cut through Loom’ithar but our best pull was 12% remaining. We’re short damage right now more than anything else. I felt our damage on the incoming walls was inconsistent. There were times when they went down fast, and other times it felt like it went slow. We’ll have to take a look at that. Our phase 2 positioning and placement took a bit of time to get comfortable with.
  • Unfortunately, that level of progress wasn’t enough and one of our tanks decided to just leave. So now I’ve got to spend my next week looking for a tank to add to the team long term. It’s funny since I also am looking for a long term tank for DJs as one of ours is looking to step away from the tanking role as well.

No rest for the weary this week, sadly.
