Another fun as heck fight made all the better by only spending three nights on it.
No bow, sadly, but he did drop some really nice loot and gave us all that coveted Sunwell achievement. As such, we now have something to brag about in the future.
Right right, picture:

It always feels good to down new bosses, even with some of the pride taken away by the fact that the bosses lost 30% of their health and we gained 51 point talents. (It’s Bacon!) Still it was great to be able to take a few two-three week learning curves and toss them on their butts. M’uru is a fun and easy fight, made even funner by only having to spend a night and a half to learn him.
Our only issues involved bad timing in ending phase 1, and some positioning problems in phase 2. On our kill the first was a non-issue. We managed to down him seconds before the adds were finished off and in time such that no more adds spawned.
With M’uru behind us we headed down to the Sunwell. We got in several solid attempts as we worked with the dragons and making up macros to switch among dps targets. I see no problem with assuming we’ll get him down before the expansion.
So about four weeks ago, OOB ran into an odd problem. We didn’t have enough dps. Our tanks and healers were spiffy, but when it came to Brut we could no longer put out the raid dps. After a night of Koi wanting to rip his hair out, he called raiding until the patch.
Our raiders went off to do other things. We ground for rep, pets, mounts and we invited for LK. Some of us went to raid with other guilds for the break. It was a good break, full of beta and happiness.
So the patch hit. Many of us cleaned up with inscription, and Thursday we came back and started raiding again. Felmyst was much the same, fail because of encapsulate and someone was just learning to see her pre-breath movements. Anyway, death.
After that we learned the gauntlet in all it’s post nerf glory and wiped on the twins pull for the rest of the evening. (And a little conflag.) But after a bit more preparation we came back and downed them as well.
Then it was finally time to see the guild breaker M’uru and we beat in his face in as his adds beat in ours.
So it should be easy sauce from here. Our healers had some fun learning to get through the stomps, but it seemed a lot less intimidating when we actually got here as opposed to that first screenshot of 25k damage in two seconds we saw back when Sunwell was on the PR.
I missed the first…three raids where we attempted Brutallus, so for me it feels like we only spent one night on him. As such I don’t have any fun stories about our learning this boss.
Also, since I’m going on a Kara run, this post is incomplete. Enjoy pics for now.
