Mimiron: 42 Rebirth: 1

As the title suggests, we finally downed Mimiron. After 42 wipes, but who's counting? Took us about six and a half hours across three nights, but we've finally killed him. Vent and the guild channel exploded when we finally got him, as you'd expect.

Our third try of the evening last night saw us reach phase 4 for the first time, but fail because of a lack of co-ordination - we only had two ranged DPS in the group, one of which was focusing on the body rather than the head. We would only reach phase 4 twice (the second time coming several wipes after the first), and down him the second time it happened. The kill was by no means perfect - we lost the only mage in the group during the second phase (druid combat rezzed while waiting for phase three to start) and we only had seven people up when he went down - but a kill is a kill. Hopefully improvements will be made next week.

We also downed the Assembly of Iron after Mimiron. My first time killing them, bringing my personal Ulduar progress up to 10/14.

We'll be trying General Vezax in tonight's raid after (hopefully quickly) downing Hodir, Thorim and Freya. I'm not sure if we'll get to see Yogg-Saron this week, but it is a possibility - we have three days of raiding Ulduar 10 left before the reset.

  1. Uno concern with too much jumping. WoW doesn't register your position until you're on the ground. If you stand in spot A, and land in spot B, and the jump itself takes 1 second, then you might already be hovering above point B just before you land (for example 0.7 seconds into the jump) but WoW will still consider your character as standing in spot A. It will not register your presence as having moved at all until you land in spot B when you will miraculously have shifted in WoW's server database from A to B.

    This isn't very important except on some fights where AoE areas are being hugged closely (Sapph ice blocks, Hodir flash freezes, Heigan dance...). Jumping into a flash freeze area, if you get unlucky with the timing of it, will see you frozen despite standing in the circle. We lost an Undying attempt deep into the run (3 wings + Noth cleared no deaths) on Heigan because our tank was jumping through the room on the dance and ended up taking more damage than we could heal on the run.
