We killed The Nine in 19 attempts with 11 raiders and an average iLvl of 226. The Nine was a smooth fight to progress on. Once the dispels were sorted (Kal and Jondy working like clockwork), it was a matter of learning the progression of overlapping mechanics. I enjoyed moving a purple flare around the room for the dispel location, and when people reacted to their debuff, moved quickly to the flare, and reacted equally quickly to their debuff being removed, it was a sight to behold.

The most difficult mechanics sequence was when we needed to soak four purple patches at the same time as one big blue group soak. If we got through that in good shape, it was a pretty cruisy run to the bosses’ demise.

We killed Heroic Eye of the Jailer in 18 attempts with 11 raiders and an average iLvl of 223.8. Eye is a fun fight. Raiders are getting dragged by chains to the edge of the platform, you get to grapple across the the back of the whole platform. I didn’t even mind splitting up the group into halves, which is usually just an administrative chore.

Between flex raiding, and gear increases the amount of damage the group can put into the boss varies from night to night. So timing the boss phase transitions could be a little tricky. Fortunately Hagrim is both a Dwarf AND a Paladin, so Assailing Lance and associated bleed? No worries. In the event that we almost got the transition perfect, but it was in fact a disaster, Hagrim could merrily grab the Abductor and the right hand side team could enjoy getting their cleave on.
