Without a doubt, this encounter was the most stringent "gear check" in the guild's history; Brutallus requires everyone to be at the top of their game.
On our sixth attempt of the night (following the previous night's heartbreaking 1% wipe) things were going smoothly until we were 43 seconds from the enrage, when I was killed by a particularly vicious 25k damage within a 1.5-second span during a stomp. Aggro reverted to Ishtral, who quickly swiveled Brutallus to face my group (avoiding a fatal fourth Slash stack on his group) and tanked him until he died with 6 seconds left on the enrage timer. One of the most impressive tanking feats I've seen, and it turned a near-certain wipe into a guild-first kill.
Fantastic work by everyone involved. A special thanks goes out to all those who helped chew glass and learn this boss but who weren't able to be there for the kill.
Also, in the spirit of catching up, here's our first Kalecgos killshot:
