Mimiron Down

Last night was my very first Ulduar 25 man raid since my lazy ass has been sitting on standby, doing dailies and picking flowers. And what a fight to begin with - Mimiron is pretty crazy! It reminds me a bit of Vashj plus C'thun plus Kael (kiting "striders" and avoiding bad spots on the ground, avoiding eye beams, separate parts coming together in one phase for chaos).

I'm not gonna lie - I was clueless about what to do for the first few attempts. My "follow the chicken and do what she does" strategy panned out pretty well, though, and luckily for me the fight isn't particularly complicated for ranged dps. I was able to learn through trial and error without any major incident until failing to escape the evil cone of death on phase 4 on the second or third attempt. Fiteacat was not so lucky....poor kitty. The fight is pretty evil for hunters - sending the pet in causes high likelyhood of death, but if you get targeted by the fires in phase 1 and your pet is with you it's also dead. At least there's time to rez between phases!

The fight was chaotic but fun as hell, and a pretty crazy way to get introduced to the 25 man. Now I just fear how this encounter will play out on 10 man... /cower
