The bird IS the word. The birds before Alysrazor, that is. Our guild doesn't do research on trash. We like to kind of figure it out on our own. Except that the birds before Alys completely stumped us. Even after multiple attempts.
I won't ruin the gimmick mechanic of the fight for those that don't want to know, but all I can say, is that is the most fun I've had on trash in a very long time! Alys is also quite fun... compared to Lord Rhyolith. Rhyo can suck an egg. We must have a busted strategy or fail drivers because he is not getting past 30%, despite our successes on Shan and Beth. Though research suggests it's hit or miss with Rhyo depending on his volcanoes even after hotfixes.
Anyways, how is everybody else enjoying Firelands? Progression going as planned? I know some people are having issues because it's the summer, but I hope people are at least seeing it that want to!
