Which Boss Next?

Fellow tankadins, I need some advice. My guild is currently 4/5 in MH and 7/9 in BT and we're wondering where to head next.

We've attempted Archimonde before but seem to have some sort of block with him. We have not attempted Illidari Council yet, but only in the last two weeks have we killed Bloodboil, RoS, and Mother.

I was asked by the GM to recommend our next focus target and am trying to give him an informed answer. Which should we tackle next?

We have a tank group of a warrior, druid, and a tankadin all with T5/T6 equipment. A great group of DPS and some phenomenal healers. We've also got a GM that understands that each fight can have a best/worst tank for the job and allows the appropriate tank on it.

If it helps, our best (by far) attempt on Archimonde was 43% before calling a wipe. Usual attempts have us wiping in the 70-80% range.

Again, where should we head next?

If your raid is not capable of surviving archi i'd suggest not bothering with him until you kill Illidan.

Illidari Council is the Olympics of not standing in shit.

If your raid can't learn to not standing in Doomfire, you won't be able to do council either.

Do Archimonde.

Mixed opinions so far, which is about how the guild officers are at the moment. There really isn't a clear-cut choice is there?

Most of the vocal raiders are voting for Archimonde, so we'll probably do that. I'll suggest we do the "survive until the enrage" technique to prove to ourselves we can do it.

Thanks for the advice y'all Smile

Alrighty, as a follow-up to this topic - we ended up going with Council and got it down after 1.5 raid nights (6 hours). We've now killed them 3 times. A week later, we got Archimonde. Tonight was our second Archimonde kill. Now we've started Illidan and are having the fun of learning Phase 2.

Grats! Once you get phase 2, you're 90% of the way there. As long as people can spread out and kill the demons, you're golden.
