Wow… you go unguided for less than one week and you feel like you’ve fallen so far behind!  Yikes!  Well… I found a new home and am raiding again, so all is well on that front.  Even did some hard mode 10 mans last night with the new guild, and remembered to take some videos… more on that later in the post

First, I wanted to say thank you to a few people: Youki, Cerenitee, Martos, Contrite, Dierdrea and Piptooth.  You guys were awesome to raid with, and to hang out with.  My time in LoD was not wasted because it gave me the opportunity to meet all of you.  I know we aren’t all going in the same direction now, but I wish you all the best of luck in game and out, and I hope we’ll all continue to stay in touch.  And I’m incredibly happy that my favoritest, bestest, awesomest priest in the whole world has gone to the same guild as me, Hi Youki!  Of course he has a new name and a sexy new blood elf body… and I’m stuck being a… cow.  Moo?

Hard Mode Blood Queen Lana’thel

Well it seems that, at least on 10 man, heroic Blood Queen Lana’thel isn’t all that… heroic.  Ok, she does more damage to the tanks and to the raid.  And yep, at the end that damage got to be… well… a lot.  But we very nearly one shot it, and that just sits a bit wrong with me.  I’m linking a video below, however the basic strategy is the same as before.  This is just a kill video:  watch regular mode strategy video instead.

Hard Mode Festergut

This fight is a pain in the ass for one reason… Malleable Goo!  Yep, that fun stuff from Professor Putricde is back!  Basically the professor stands on the balcony and throws goo down the entire fight at you.  It has the same effect as it does when you fight putricide.  It does a lot of damage, and slows your attack/casting speed by 200%.  You have to get quite far away from it too, if you watch the video you’ll see I run away but still get hit by it  Despite my failure, the video might be helpful to give you a look at this ability!  Other than that, the same basic principals of the fight apply, including stacking the inoculation and the damage changing between mostly raid wide and mostly tank damage.
