Lady Deathwhisper Down!

The first wing of Icecrown in 10 man is not so hard (4/4). The DTPS is not scary and the fights are accomplishable. Blizzard did well with the 10 man Normal. The 25 man Normal (2/4) can be a challenge and has been for us. BrotherHood is in some ToGC gear and that has helped some. Our ability to continue to press in difficult fights as well as communicate during and after raids to devise strategy has also been a bonus. Last night after Deathwhisper we took a look at the gunship and got it to 40% on the first try. We have a few more leaders stepping up and taking the reigns of raid leading. I am thankful for that. I also very much enjoyed the communication and intent in the raid last evening.
The strategy we used involved bringing the whole raid behind the boss. We edged around against the wall until the entire raid was spread out. We assigned 2 tanks to each side to gather up the adds as they came. We called out the middle add as it came and any free melee or tanks went and killed it. When the Fanatic became deformed and was untankable, we kited him. Anyone could kite him so usually it was a DK or a Hunter. We assigned three to the bubble – one boomkin, one hunter, one shadow priest. When the adds were down, everyone burned the bubble and waited for the next wave of adds. When her mana bubble burst, an assigned tank picked her up. Any remaining adds were killed as quickly as possible. We also six healed it.
Well Done BrotherHood!
