So, we ran ICC10 last night.

We were just inside the first doorway AoEing down trash when I saw … a horse run in. It kicked a couple times, then ran back out again.

I wish I’d had the presence of mind to snap a screenshot, because it was hilarious. I’m sure my reaction was probably MORE hilarious than the horse show: “WTF is that HORSE doing there?”

It appears it was Fury, and he just decided to run in and help the other NPCs.

Good News! The Slime is Flowing!

So, we took our first look at Rotface last night, and let me tell you, it’s a look that will linger.

A quick note here on Stinky and Precious. Stinky was easy, and died pretty quickly. Precious took us two attempts because WTF Zombies. They seemed to spawn more quickly as the fight went on, and we just got nickle and dimed to death.

Rotface is an interesting fight. We got him (I’m assuming it’s a him, and I’m not getting any closer to check, TYVM) down to 30% a couple times, but we’d usually lost either a healer or a tank by that point, and the rest of us fell like dominoes in a hurricane.

Some important things:

  • Don’t dispell the debuff, trigger happy decursers. It makes the mini-slime spawn immediately.
  • Rotface likes healers. Or the RNG hates us. Or both. It seemed like nearly every attempt, the first person slimed was a healer.
  • DBM’s warning for the Slime Explosion seems to happen a little early. You don’t actually need to move until he starts casting it, but it seemed like DBM Warned a good few seconds ahead of time.
  • DBM’s warning for the Slime Spray from Rotface didn’t catch my attention much. I probably need to make it flash my screen. It happens a lot, and you need to keep an eye out for it.

We switched to 3 healers for our last attempt, but I think we lost a tank to bad timing or something and that was it. Having a druid for this fight will probably help, because there is a LOT going on, and with the insta-casts they can kite their slime and still heal.

I’m pretty sure we’ll get him down tonight. And then it’s onto his buddy, Festergut.

Whee!

The models are REALLY cool … in a gross kind of way.
