Unsinkable?

So after having some tries on Ultraxion in the previous raid we went back with a new group on the Sunday. Having had him on 8% in the previous raid we were pretty certain that we could kill him without much hassle; and if you disregard the first two pulls when the raidleader died from the first Hour of Twilight, it did actually go quite smooth. A few wipes and then the big bad drake was dead, without us even having been into the hurtful last minute.

With wind in the sails we approached the lootship and Warmaster Blackhorn, only to realise it wasn’t as much a lootship as we had expected. We did our best to stand in voidzones on the ground while killing everything, while not letting the ship die. Yet every single time we ended up overwhelmed by adds with the ship acting out some scene from Titanic. Towards the end of the night we decided we would try with two healers to see if that would work better now than in the first few pulls when we were running like aimless chickens, and lo and behold it did. The last two pulls of the night we got into the second phase for the first times; first time we died fast and second time we killed the boss! With some perspective it seems like an easy fight, and it was once we did it right. We were just a little overwhelmed while learning the encounter.
