There hasn't been one of these threads in a while, and I got stuff to talk about.

Hard Mode

Knocked out Heroic WotM this week, very happy about that. The second Vosik fight is BY FAR the hardest encounter. Given how quickly we took out the rest of the raid once we got past this, I am of the opinion that whoever was in charge of difficulty balancing dropped the ball a bit here; the sheer number of adds that constantly spawn, in addition to Vosik's own attacks, make this a very unforgiving fight. I decided to turn off game music to help concentrate, and it seemed to work. After some experimentation, our group found that having Blessing bubbles we could fall back to during Add phase was more important than Weapons bubbles during DPS.

Congrats on the HM completion!

Soft-Locking Aksis

During a normal mode run, we accidentally discovered that you can halt any progression on the Aksis Pt.2 fight. If you kill a Servitor just as it despawns into it's plate, it won't drop a bomb, but it also won't cause Aksis to use his Siva Density attack. He just shells you forever, with your team unable to take his shields down.

Yeah, this was pretty funny. Glad I was there to experience it. Also, this video made me realize something - I've never heard your voice properly before. LOL I'm not sure if it's something in your setup or mine, but your voice was way louder in this video than it's ever been while playing. Just thought you'd like to know.
