A while back Gurg posted that he had an alt full of pots/flasks etc for those night when you almost get a boss down, but reach the point everyone has run out of consumables. I unashamedly stole this idea and it worked wonders the other night.

After a farily trying week on C'thun (10hours total raiding to get our 3rd kill), we decided to spend the last hour after we finally killed him to throw ourselves at Ouro. Our first run ever we took him to 18%, and being able to go outside and give everyone some fairly average pots (GAE, Sharp stones, Giants, Mongoose, GNR pots) which they had burnt away on C'thun tries allowed us to kill him on our 3rd try (little bit of luck getting two 3minute emerges).

So thanks Gurgthok, I think its fair to say we wouldnt have killed him without that tip.
To everyone who does not already do this, I can heartily suggest you sink 100g or so of raid funds into an alt full of consumables.

Ps.
I was amazed how easy Ouro was given how people tend to talk about learning him not being worth the effort.

Call me crazy, but couldn't you have just pm'd him a thank you?

She could have, but then she wouldn't have been able to convey this:

Thanks Gurgthok!!!

No problem.

Also there's a C in there somewhere near the end, just fyi.
