Well, it took my guild a couple of nights working on him, but we got him down. One second before the enrage… but down nevertheless! Frawress Victory! 
We had the first two phases pretty much down pat early on in the piece but it always fell apart for us on the third. Coordination in 2d space is hard enough at times, but coordination in 3d with no real point of reference was a bit of a challenge for us. We had a few runs where we did the third phase not worrying about trying to kill him, but rather just concentrating on keeping alive and keeping our drakes bunched and moving together as a unit when appropriate. We were just training… not trying to get the kill.. just getting used to the phase and trying to stay alive until he enraged. This payed pretty good dividends because before we knew it we had Malygos down to around 5%.. and this was on a dry practice run with no consumables. He was now on limited time!
It felt really good to down him, and for more than one reason. First of all it was awesome to be part of a “first kill” again after being absent from the game and raiding for so long. I had been there for almost all of the guild’s first kills from vanilla WoW through to the Burning Crusades, but had missed out on Naxx 25. It was also awesome because we have now cleared ALL current content in the game. The MOST awesome thing about it however is that this is the first time our guild has actually cleared ALL of the current content. In Vannilla WoW we were just getting our feet wet in AQ40 when BC hit so we missed out on Naxx and most of AQ. In BC we got off to a late start and missed Sunwell, just venturing into Black Temple as the raiding season and the burning crusade came to its end. So yeah, it is awesome for me, and it is awesome for the guild.. in fact it is just one big bottle of awesome-sauce!
