WTFlux

I’ve never been to Magtheridon.  It reminded me a lot of Ony with just a few pulls to the boss.  The fight doesn’t seem that complicated.  Handle the summoners, drag Mag away from raid, click on cubes when he is about to nova. 

Except that about 85% of our raid had never set foot into the place.  As a matter of fact, it’s one of the first few Bobo’s House of Gank 25-man raids we’ve ever done.  We wiped a few times trying to handle the elementals (we only had 1 lock) from the summoners and finally had a run where we burned all the summoners down really fast and didn’t loose ANYONE.  Mag was pulled right up to a corner, everyone was settling in for some DPS.  Everything was going great, we felt like we had things under control. 

Then we had a 15-20 second lag spike.  This of course ruined this chance at a kill, and wiped the raid.

At the time, we just thought- “hey bad luck, lets rez and do this again”.  We felt really good about everything that was happening and people were doing great.  The next 3 attempts were plagued with a really perplexing issue of aggro.  Our main tank (a paladin) would throw his shield to start the fight, and the mob would immediately take off towards a warrior on the other side of the room.  Then once somehow 3 summoners aggroed at once to the initial summoner and roflpwned us.  The behaivor of the summoners was vastly different than the first 3-4 tries we did.

It is possible that it was just late and the tanks weren’t as sharp picking up their assignments as they were at the start of the night, but it didn’t really seem that way.  It honestly seemed bugged.

Oh well, I probably would have lost a roll for something and been pissed, but it was fun doing new content and getting close on the first night of attempts!
