Have any horde guilds killed Firemaw as of 8/16/05

My guild has been smashing its heads against Firemaw for over 3 days now with some success, but there's still a long way to go. I was just curious if anyone has any information from any Horde guilds who have yet to kill Firemaw in his current state? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate a guild name purely out of curiosity.

Far as I know, no horde guilds have killed Firemaw.

And that's exactly the response I was expecting. The way he's designed, it's not surprising really.

Firemaw is killable by Horde guilds in his current state. We just need to improve our execution.

BoS obviously is just tremendous, but it's not impossible without it.

This sums up my thoughts. We have a pretty solid strategy down now (I think) and refining the execution is all we can do from here.

Of course we wouldn't even be at Firemaw if it wasn't for the Vael exploit.

Sssh, our pet GMs told us to keep quiet about it :angry:

The exploit has nothing to do with priests, before anyone asks.

Edited to remove the full description of the exploit.

Duno if he was bugged easy at that time or what.

Another encounter we hope others won't encounter quite the same way.

Then what exploit are you talking about? Anus said we're using the mind vision trick so that must be it.

Firemaw used to be fairly slow and Curse of Exhaustion worked on him. The first 2-3 guilds to kill him: Ascent, Death & Taxes, (??) ... they did so by kiting him around for 40 minutes DoT'ing him to death. Good plan, since fighting him straight-up is brutal.

He was hotfixed immediately after -- now he can't be CoEx'd and he moves roughly at the speed of a dashing hunter pet. :(

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like he was impossible. I know he's killable, I was just curious as to whether horde guilds had done it or not yet, and I found my answer. Thanks for the responses.
