Patch day came and it was surprisingly smooth. 3 of us decided to just pop our head into the new raid and see what it looked like. We 3 manned the first trash pack before a couple more joined......then a few more........and before you know it we had the makings of a functioning raid

What's the worse that could happen? Well how about this a few minutes later:

This fight is really easy requiring skills we all learned a long time ago. With 9 men 1 of which was a freshly dinged 85 we got him to 7%. This doesn't mean it is a bad thing though I quite enjoyed it, moreso because none of us had seen any video's beforehand we just read the dungeon journal and improvised.

Off to the next boss to see what happens:

Again, no video's watched beforehand. We wiped a couple of times finding out which of the oozes needed to die was all. Very fun fight indeed needing you to think on your feet.

We went to the 2nd boss and called it a night after wiping a couple of times as it had already gone midnight. but not before planning a last minute raid for the following night.

Next day and Warlord Zon'ozz required a bit more effort. We tried at first just using single melee dps to just bounce the ball into him using a damage reduction cooldown but it was quicky apparent this wasn't going to cut it (when we hit a berserk timer that we didn't know about), eventually we figured out to split into 2 groups and try and build some stacks up by bouncing it between them and it worked fantastically:

Very fun fight indeed but I can imagine it being difficult without voice communication. Very unforgiving if your coordination is bad

Finally we went to fight the 4th boss which we all assumed to be Ultraxion as he is on the map and were surprised when we got sent to the Eye of Eternity and an ugly hag turned up, she didn't last very long either even with nobody knowing anything about her:

This fight is amazing, we were even laughing at points it was so much fun. Definately my favorite of the first half of the instance.

Overall I am completely impressed by the zone. While it is quite easy I love the fact that all the information we needed was in the dungeon journal and most of all the fights concentrate on you being good at your character, not some bullshit gimmick that you will never see again like Ryoloth or Alysrazor that causes more stress than laughs (no laughs in fact).

We moved on to Ultraxion and he messed us up pretty bad, no idea how the buffs work yet they just seem to be given out at certain times but I'm sure once we get a little more practice he will hit the dust. I would ask that any Immortals would skip watching video's though as it's been fantastic the way we have all pooled our ideas to take these bosses down

ONWARD!
