Icecrown Wings #2 and #3 clear!

And in one night, both down. Though it took quite a bit, as Putricide is one load of evil fight. Very random as a lot of effects have a single random target and who it targets can seriously help - or hurt - us.
He did go down though. About a second before the tanks would have died which would have healed him, so I doubt we can quite file him under farmable. ^_^

Lana'thel seemed easier, at least this one time. The healing necessary for the fight is insane but eases up a lot later on when most DPSers heal themselves up from the Vampire Bite. We did find out that the new timing lines up the 4 Vampires -> 8 Vampire bite-moment with the second Bloodbolt Whirl, which killed half the raid. I would expect we can easily circumvent this either by blowing everything with 4 Vampires to kill her before or alternatively saving all emergency timers for the second Bloodbolt Whirl.
She's not as tough as Putricide though because where he is all chaos and random she is entirely in our control: The first bite always hits the highest non-tank aggro target and from there on we control the bites.

Very good work everyone - now let's kill more of these. And the 25man, too.

rly nice work but hax Jallon (Jally) was the only one alive on both kills :p the Putricide kill was by far the most messy one and the first attempt we did could have been a kill if we didn't lose that 1 dps :p

Both bosses require alot of raid movement and teamwork and high dps and alot of communication.. Like Cari says putricide is going to be farmable for a while.

gratz ppl especially on putricide, this fight looked for me extremely hard and looks like it will be still for a while
btw did you use sacrifice tactic on queen to postpone running out of raid members w/o debuff ??

No Blizz hotfixed it so you can no longer exploit the fight with a sacrifice

Yeah, they made the vampire mode last longer. So you get less vampires total less fast, but each vampire has individually more DPS time before biting.

The reason is that if you were to sacrifice in the 10man, you risk hitting her actual enrage timer before killing her due to pushing the vampire-rampup "one step back".

Usually it goes 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> kill OR wipe. With Sacrifice it's 1 -> 2 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8, but right after going up to 8 we'd hit the enrage IIRC.
