Burning sands, winds of desire
Mirrored oasis reflect a burning fire
Within my heart, unwatered, feeding the flame
Welcoming you to my Harem
Oh god....
In the history of pretty lame fights (and you know there's lame encounters in WoW), I would have to say that this is BY FAR the lamest encounter ever. And I'm not talking about like, oh this is boring or wahtever, I'm talking like.... Who the FUCK thought up of this encounter?!
I'll get into more detail but for now, pics!:
Clearing ze trash
This is my perspective with pretty much everything. Hmmyep.
Did I mention how lame this fight is? I can't even begin to describe it. I suppose I should start with the requirement. 295 Sadow Resist, unbuffed, minimum. That meant taking the time to farm the trash for those oh so wonderful Hearts of Darknesses to make the gear that's offered by patterns from the Ashtongue rep vendors. So after that's all said and done, you go up to her and wipe about eight zillion times due to a very overpowered Fatal Attraction or a crushed tank.
What is Fatal Attraction?
Mother Shahraz has a very annoying ability named as such. What does it do? It can port up to three people to a random location in the hallway where we fight her. As soon as the group is ported, they start taking a heavy heavy shadow DoT (between 1k-3k a tick with buffed Shadow Resist) and are linked by a beam. The only way to break this beam is for the group to seperate past 25 yards... or die from the damage. Also, anyone within 15 yards of those beams takes the same DoT until the beams break or they get out of the way.
Now, my guild is pretty competent, moving out of the way is usually no problem. Fatal Attraction itself isn't bad when it's dispelled. However... It's no fun when Shahraz ports you into a tree (which happened to me and two others... twice), ports the tank, or ports into the melee or caster groups and promptly wipes everyone in range within seconds.
It's broken I tell ya.
Finally, after numerous attempts (as she is very easy to reset), everything seemed to fit into place and the Harem Matron was felled. Of course the din on vent was much more exciting than Reliquary a few days before, as it should have been. Killing Shahraz after so many attempts was so satisfying. I thought for sure we would get stuck here for a couple of days, as so many guilds have been. For some reason though tonight we were fortunate. One day of attempts and she was over.
Fun fact: Blue Garter sux at taking group shots.
Better still, I was elated at the fact that I pulled in 4th on the meter.
We decided to fool around with Illidari Council and were promptly wiped. Ahahah.
As the guild would say "Illidari Council goin down 2NITE."
Here's hoping.

Syphon didn't drop and I still haven't done Hyjal for three weeks now. I have such bad luck with sword main hands, and I don't want to go back to dagger because positioning sucks donkey balls.
Ah well! Here's hoping next week is better.
P.S. everytime I think of someone saying "feel the power!" for some reason I think of those old Crossfire commercials. When I get a new mainhand I think the theme song is going to play in my head.
FUCK I'm wierd.
