Utilizing the traps, you want to trap Riplimb as he is going to fetch Shannox’s spear when Shannox throws it. By freezing him in a trap, it will drop the debuff on both the Shannox tank and and the Riplimb tank. Note, he must be trapped on the way to fetch the spear – once he has the spear in his mouth, he will not activate the traps! (I don’t know if this is a bug or not, it’s just what was happening to us the other night).

How did your tanks handle shannox and his doggy? We tried two different ways (tank both and switch to drop debuff, one tank on each) and neither really came together.

Actual quote from a guildie on Tuesday: “Aww, lookit the baby turtles! Like MarioKart shells! How cute is — OHGOD!”

My group bounced in having read few/no strats and basically learned as we went. It was a ton of fun. Even the wipes were fun (though the one cited above was far and away the most hilarious). It was a short raid, so we downed no bosses (we gave Foot Boss the ol’ college try) but we’re halfway to our new cloaks and all pretty happy about it. I’m looking forward to going back tonight!

Too. Much. Trash.
Yes, we were a bit disorganised starting and a bit uninformed about trash mechanics, but we only had time for a couple of attempts on Shannox before raid time was over. The turtles-keep-you-in combat bug (now hot fixed) didn’t help. Let’s all stand around and wait for the healers’ mana to slowly regen.

The ‘here’s a better cloak’ and then 1 hour later ‘here’s an even better cloak’ thing seemed daft.

It’s hard to find time in between keeping 3 x LB and Harmony up to actually heal all the folks who are taking damage. Your Harmony-is-down Powa Aura helped a lot — thank-you. I added a sound (the AH Ding), the spin wasn’t grabbing my attention.

I’ve left 2 in Furor for now – might drop back to one next week and see how it goes.

I cant raid so my only experience with the new content has been buggy graveyards in the thrall quest. Horribly griefing in the Thrall quest. Buggy mechanics in the daily quest hub. Horrible griefing in the quest hub and my pet being an add moron thanks to the hunter changes.
