Faction Champions! HARDMODE!!! [Part 17]

With all of the Tier 8 content on farm, we decided to take a week break from Ulduar hard modes and start ToTGC Hardmodes. On our first day, everyone was unsure on how hard this would actually be, from watching videos of it myself, I thought I was not geared enough for it.

In the past I had damage issues, Stacking stam when I had no Avoidance and I would easily be 2 shot by a decent boss. Now I was at 75% avoidance with a nice set of health, but still was unsure.

EDIT: I just noticed I messed up my last post, I went from Toc Hardmode to our first attempt on Normal. I will continue hardmode here instead!

Ok, Twin Val'kyr Hardmode! It started up as normal, with the portals and stuff everywhere. We knew that the Vortex and the orbs would hurt more, so we made everyone go Purple. There hp has increased by a lot. It was getting near raid end, so we only had a few attempts. (1 actually) We all stacked up on the white portal, in case we needed to switch. For the first time people starte to mess up, wheather it was the pressure or the lateness I don't know. A message came up for everyone to change to Purple, but we were already purple so it didn't matter BUT a healer and a dps messed up and changed to white, just in time to get mangled by the Dark Vortex. Not a problem though, Re-incarnate and a Combat Ress and we were back again. Everyone was purple and standing near a white portal. This time, the special ability was Twins pact, luckily the light person was casting it so all of our dps could hit it straight away, but even with us all attacking it, it was at 80% before it got interupted, this meant if the dps had to change, they had about 3 seconds for them all to do it and start burning the boss. I realised then that if we had to change to white and back to black, we would need to move.

And of course, the boss started casting Light Vortex so we all changed to light. They started dps'ing the dark one now so I moved the light one nearer to a dark portal. People didn't seem to realise why I was doing it and when the time came to change to dark, nobody was near one, twins pact got casted and we wiped. Great.

The next raid night wasn't any better, Drake can't raid with us on a Thursday so we were an Interupter down. The first boss took more attempts than our first try which wasn't a good sign. The second boss was horrible, every single time the portal opened 2 waves would come out. So it took a few wipes at it.

Faction Champions V2.o
We got a really hard setup. Last time we would burn down a Melee dps first, but this time we got two plate wearers, the retadin and the warrior. Everytime we got anyone under 20% the paladin would bubble them. We might have been able to do it, if we weren't doing bad that night, but it was the toughest set up. We tried it for a while but we didn't get far.

I had suggested a tactic, which I heard was the easiest way to do the fight, so we tried that Most of the raid didn't understand how it could work, so we still couldn't do it. I had syggested the pet tactic, where the best dps attacks the pet and the rest on a dps, this was working but the read leader didn't want to waste our strongest dps on the pet. (The way it works is the pet gets priority on healing, untill it is a 100%. So if we had someone nuking the pet, it would force the healers to heal him instead of the dps we were trying to take down) A few wipes later and people didn't believe it was working. And the RL wouldn't make the Highest dps attack him so we got nowhere.

Next Il just say whatever happens next I suppose!
