1. Wipes in under a minute
What the hell is this unmanageable clusterfuck of damage? How does anyone live through this? Is this boss even possible?
Characteristic phrases:
"Uh..."
"What the shit?"
2. The learning process
Now that we have some kind of understanding of mechanics, it turns out this boss is indeed possible. Time to make incremental progress and adjust our strategy whenever we encounter something new while patting ourselves on the back every time we get the boss down lower than we have before.
Characteristic phrases:
"Ok, so we know what to do now."
"This isn't how Method does it."
3. Hitting hurdles
Our strategy is solid, but we will spend the bulk of our wipes banging our heads against two or three specific places in the fight where people make stupid mistakes/RNG screws us over and everything falls apart.
Characteristic phrases:
"Guys, we've seen this a million times already."
"That was a shitty pull anyway."
4. Single-digit wipes
It takes everyone a full thirty seconds to release because we're all staring in disbelief at the spot where the boss despawned at 2% when the rogue's Evasion ran out. If people weren't dying and we weren't going into the last phase with half the raid down, we could kill this.
Characteristic phrases:
"We got this, guys!"
"Just LIVE!"
5. Lucky alignment of stars/Perfect play
Great work, everyone! You all finally stopped playing Hearthstone or Skyping with your significant others and got your shit together for one perfectly executed pull. Nevermind that Beastlord breathed fire in the best possible direction or that Iron Maidens picked a pally for Penetrating Shot almost every time. We nailed it!
Characteristic phrases:
"I knew it was a kill when I missed my pre-pot/my trinkets didn't proc/the shaman died."
"No conq token."
-Avia.
