Malum Factum has been struggling a little bit in WildStar with maintaining the necessary raid team and it has shown for the past few weeks. Last night though was a different story all together!
Earlier in the week we were able to clear out the raid zone and get some pulls in on the first major boss, Experiment X-89. We didn't have a lot of time to do so and this was after taking a week off from raiding to do some recruiting, but we did what we could. On a few attempts we managed to get him in the 35% range. Not bad, but clearly not good enough.
On Thursday's raid night, we were able to go in and only needing to clear three thrash pulls, we were able to dedicated the entire evening to taking out X-89. One of the biggest things holding us back was poor bomb placement. A few illustrations and an explanation of where I wanted everyone to drop bombs and we instantly saw a huge improvement.
After a few pulls, we were consistently getting X-89 into the teen percentage, a few more pulls and we were down into single digit percentage. And then finally our kill attempt. The MVP for this boss kill surely goes to Tatersalad of Malum Factum. Out of the three healers used for this fight, two died early on leaving Tatersalad to take on the healing of the entire raid team all to himself. The first of the two healer deaths happened quite early on due to a mishap of confusing small and big bombs. The second healer death, which was me, happened while trying to re-position during a snipe attack. This left Tatersalad the only healer for a solid 2 minutes while the dwindling raid team finally finished off the boss.
If this is an indication of where Malum Factum is heading in WildStar, its onto more raiding!
. So I went back looking for the same one and now it's only $10.75! So I'll be getting that soon and all will be well again.
