Mostly because it gives me a chance to pop a nightmare pot its true……

Seriously its good to have markers and goalposts to all these fights. It gets annoying when like with a certain Blue Dragon they throw a huge gimmick into the mix on a long multi phase fight. In a way Icehowl is a bit like that. If the dodge-the-charge-or-wipe moment came at the start at least you could learn it and them move onto the hard stuff…rather than have to rince/repeat the entire fight just to learn that. Mind you much less annoying than Maly/dragon riding.

Gimmicks apart I like :) (and we’re so getting icehowl next go around)

Just learning the encounter was more fun than anything in that entire instance (and it WAS a good instance!), kinda like Mimiron in Ulduar these days.

I am still peeved we couldn’t down him before 3.0 dropped. Eagle phase is the stuff of nightmares, we had such unbelievable issues with it.

I enjoy phases as well, in a fight like Mimiron or Thorim it’s very easy to tell if you’re making progress or not. I hate Freya though. For us she breaks us in P1 every time, always the wave of 3 Elementals, and once those are down, it’s a walk in the park. Frustrating. I dream of one-shotting her, but it’s just not happening.
