For those of you that were present for the kills, we were going to attempt the bird next. I’ve discovered that’s not necessary so I believe Baleroc will be our next target. Study up!

So it’s been a while since I’ve said anything here but the newest hotfix is worth mentioning.
As far as our progression is going, we’re still doing well and will have Lord Rhyolith in the next week. Great job team!
On to the hotfixes:
These changes while simple are amazing in my mind. Some folks really like threat as a mechanic, but as a five year tank veteran, I hate it. To be honest, threat is either there or not. It’s not a terribly exciting mechanic: If you pull threat, you’re dead. If not, you live. Tanks, after the initial 30 seconds, have almost no chance of actually losing threat anyway so it’s just that first 30 seconds that ever matter.
As said in the Watercooler discussion, threat has quickly become a stat that most folks don’t pay attention to and really is an outdated concept. Overall I’m looking forward to the change that will make tanking more focused on what we do: absorbing hits from the boss and mitigating damage.
Also, some interesting patch notes for a hotfix – Rhyolith was nerfed bigtime.
