Beth will be a piece of cake compared to the learning curve on Bael.

DPS has be to be very coordinated for Ryo, quick turns are essential.

We have to keep up that progression attitude, we’ll be tested for sure on the phoenix.

I was the one calling out snipe for Ana when she was on tank duty to start as she had no stacks. I think getting those stacks helped with the tank heals before we had a high stack healer take over.

That was a fun night, and a blast of a fight! And a lot of fun with the paceline of dps’ers lining up on the crystal. Grats to the team on the kill!

I am learning I have to get a lot better at watching my DEbuffs on the target. Having one of those drop of was really noticable. I might even have to get something that will tattle for me when other classes debuffs drop off. A boss like that we need all the debuffing we can get.

The RNG factor of where the volcanos spawn is definitely annoying on Rhyolith. BUT, since Sorak transferred his rogue, we’ll have the same person ‘driving’ that has driven him in our SR kills, so I’m thinking that will reduce the learning curve part of it.

Baleroc is a bit of a dps check to beat the enrage timer, so when Firelands first landed many people went to other bosses first, who test you more on your coordination and how well you can adapt to mechanics.

We killed Baleroc for the first time last night as well, with three seconds left on the enrage timer. High five.

A tight as hell coordination check for sure, which makes it fun. Rhyolith, who we spent a couple nights on but haven’t downed yet, is RNG hell in contrast.

Hooray! Congratulations on the kill!

Bethtilac is probably the easiest of the bosses you have yet to kill, followed by Rhyolith and then Alysrazor. (Alysrazor feels like a big step up in difficulty to our raid group at least.) Rhyolith would be easiest except that his driving mechanic is a pain in the ass and it takes a while to get the hang of it.

We originally thought that we had to kill the first four bosses in order to get to Baleroc, which I think slowed down our progression a bit. We spent two frustrating weeks on Alysrazor when we could have gone to Baleroc instead.
