Look familiar? If you're doing Naxxramas, it should!

So, remember how yesterday I went to Naxxramas and faced the nightmarish memories I had of the Four Horsemen pre-BC? Well, my druid friend hit me up this evening while looking for a CoT:Strat heroic (again, go figure), and we plunged further into the Naxx instance we had running. Daunted by a few 5% wipes on Patchwerk yesterday, we decided instead to go take on Heigan.

Oh Heigan. My favorite fight in Naxxramas, by far. If they made The Safety Dance a personal achievement that required you to not get hit by the Eruption a single time, I would've had it on every pull we had.

Well, the rest of our raid was not so... dance-y. Maybe it was because I was listening to DDR music, but I wasn't touched by the Eruption a single time all night tonight. But one pull... ah yes, the killing pull.

Heigan's at 40%. It's phase 1. We've lost one healer to dancing, and our DPS is down our Warlock and one Warrior. Suddenly, I hear our MT shout "oh fucking shit" in Vent - every melee DPSer died at once to an Eruption. We're down to four people - a Holy Paladin, a Resto Shaman, our DK tank, and me.

I told them to focus. We still had this - we had a DPSer alive, we had Mana Tide totems and the Paladin could keep healing forever. We had this. And so we dance. And we dance. And we dance.

18 minutes of dancing later, during which I STILL never got hit by the Eruptions, Heigan dies. The raid goes ballistic, cheering my name.

And lo and behold: my chest piece.

The tank was also our master looter. When I saw the chest, I was excited, but then he says something that made me even more excited:

[R] [Tank]: rilgon is getting the fucking chest, i dont care if the warriors may want it, they fucking died. dont like it? learn to fucking dance
You receive loot: [Tunic of the Lost Pack].

I may not have had the best DPS at the end - only about 1970 DPS - but I sustained it for 18 minutes without a single mistake. Our MT was right (and no one disagreed) - I earned that chestpiece. :)


Oh, and we downed Loatheb too.
