The march through Ulduar continues: next stop, Hodir.
This fight is surprisingly easy, in comparison to some of the others in Ulduar. It's all about situational awareness. While, in essence, a straight forward tank and spank for the tank, both healers and dps'ers must take advantage of several environmental buffs, while avoiding environmental debuffs. By taking advantage of the numerous npc's in the encounter (and their buffs), a raid can benefit by the force multipliers they make available, such as Starlight and Toasty Fire, which make the encounter much easier.
Hodir is a fun fight, despite seeing many of the mechanics in previous fights. While we made short work of Hodir, we still have the potential to improve our performance here, which will be necessary in later encounters in Ulduar
