And Attumen goes down!!!

Well, New Moon stepped into Karazhan for the second time yesterday and we finally took down our first TBC Raid Boss. With Barinath (Tankadin-extraordinaire) and me acting as human shields, we managed to down Attumen on the second attempt. I was on Attumen duty for Phase 1, but I never saw him pop up, so by the time I had him, we had lost a healer. Needless to say that caused Barinath to die and the party to wipe.

Ktarye reminded me of something I had actually read in the Maintankadin Forums. By consecrating near Midnight, I was almost guaranteed to pick him up. That worked the second time around. We split them up like planned and we brought each of their health down like they were Siamese twins. It was like perfectly synchronized swimming … um, I meant fighting. Before the mounting, they were at something like 23% and 25%.

Barinath and I agreed that whoever got aggro after they merged, would just tank them. To my surprise, the mounted Attumen spawned right next to me. A quick Exorcism and Judgment of Righteousness allowed for DPS to whack, whack, whack right away.

I found out afterwards that I had like 5 people healing me. Overhealing or not ( and let me tell you, we have the best healers there are), I lived and Attumen didn’t.

Huzzah for New Moon!!
