What a difference a single night makes.
We downed the Prince quickly, easily and almost painlessly. We suffered one death, Gypsymoon, who failed to get out of one the shadow blasts, but still managed to pump out some pretty awesome dps.
As an indicator, we pushed through Phase 2 in 64 seconds.
Also, this was the first time that I have downed the Prince with The Bane, so it made it an especially sweet kill.
He even had 3 quality drops (all upgrades for someone in the raid):
Stainless Cloak of the Pure-Hearted
Malchazeen
Helm of the Fallen Hero
Since it has been my quest the past week to convert to Skinning/Leatherworking, I was pretty happy that I was highest on the reel and got the Helm and turned it into the Demon Stalker Greathelm.
After putting it on, besides the fact that it is really ugly, I realized that this gave me my fourth piece of Tier 4 gear and I get to take advantage of the 4-piece bonus:
(4) Set: Reduces the mana cost of your Multi-Shot ability by 10%.
Not that I use Multi-Shot at all anymore except on the Moroes trash, but it might be time to rethink the Marksman Tree and see if I can squeeze more dps out of that than Beastmaster. I could also rework my macro to include Multi-Shot, but I find it unappealing in most non-Boss fights.
Time to do some research.
