So yesterday I did the weekly on the priest in my signature, it was Malygos. The group formed, and I remember telling my friend whom I was in vent bs'ing with that night, 'watch this, we're about to fail on Malygos.' He questioned me as to why I felt that way, to which I replied, 'because most do.'
Phase 1 was fine as it's stupid easy. Into phase 2, the druid tank has to actually /s out loud for melee to take the hover pad thingies after 2 of them were sitting on the platform unused. Thanks to everyone outgearing the bejesus out of EoE we get to phase 3. The tank marks himself, and on Maly's first um...w/e the hell it's called, 5 people just camp right in the Static Field and never move. They all die 10 seconds into phase. Great, so now we're 5-manning p3. Not too long after, 2 more die because they forgot where their strafe keys are. So we end up 3-manning 75% of phase three. Myself healing, a rogue, and the druid tank. Unfortunately towards the end I lost the druid, but about 25 seconds later the rogue and I got him down. Sooooo close to wiping, luckily I'm a nonbad healer for p3, and the rogue & druid didn't let their stacks drop.
Afterwards a few of us were butthurt because of the fail and making us try, so we gave a quick couple comments expressing our feelings. Then the druid tank said, 'it's ok, nobody knows Malygos anymore because you can just gear up through heroics.' Unfortunately, he's absolutely right. Ironically on this priest, which is my 4th 80 in wotlk, it gave me the Spellweaver and Champion of the Frozen Wastes achieves lol.

- 3-manned Maly phase3 last night for our weekly.
- Bads are bad, only 10% at best of the current WoW population knows the Malygos fight.
- Worst of all, there's no reason to know the fight since it's gear is by far subpar to welfare badge gear.
