Really frustrating raid last night. We bounded in there with high hopes and managed to get all the way to Anub’s room with 48 tries left – not amazing but our best so far. This was the first time we’d got here and we had a working strat, with a lot of practice on it before the first pull, so expectations were for a kill last night. We got pretty close:
Note the number of tries left too, damn that was annoying – I know my focus bar doesn’t show it but this was around a 7% wipe. Suffice to say we didn’t get it down in a few more tries and then someone had to go (yes this shit happens to hardcore guilds too) and we couldn’t continue.
Ah well, Barring great catastrophe we should have at least the 25+ tries kill within this reset which isn’t too bad I guess. It’s just very annoying to have a working tactic and as yet be unable to execute it due to stupid mistakes being made that shouldn’t be being made. I’m frapsing every attempt so should get a video from resto druid perspective (with full vent sounds) up pretty quickly once it does finally die.

Good Luck Cows!!!! *crosses fingers*
I do have a Anub HM strategy question for 10s, if you are permitted to discuss your strategy.
I was curious on how many healers you are using in your 10 man HM Anub kills (you know, I figured you got mad skill on two toons, you were a good person to ask!). We got to it this week with around 40 attempts left, worked on it for about 15 pulls before it was obvious at 2 AM we were spent and just wasting pulls. Then Brade got sick and we couldn’t go in to finish out our attempts =(
I’ve seen a lot of differing opinions floating about on using two healers, and getting Anub down to 30% with just one burrow phase, alloting you 5 orbs in that one phase. But I’ve also seen people kiting to that wall (what does the wall do, I’ve not gotten the opportunity to test it), and using two burrow phases, wich only gives you ~2-3 orbs/ phase.
Anyhow! Good Luck tonight!!!!

Hey, I started replying to your comment here but realized it’s probably better to just flesh out the tactic explanation in a post. So I’ll post (probably sometime later today/tomorrow) a full 10 man hardmode tactic based on what we use currently.
