Keepers of Ulduar and Vezax Down

Boss Kills,Ulduar — Kawaihae

In a two shot attempt we took Vezax down rather easily. It’s helped greatly that we now have two solid 10 mans running Ulduar and glimpsing the fights ahead of time, knowing the fights even at a smaller scale helped out greatly. We used the healers cast-at-his-feet method to avoid the shadow bursts and had our sharp shooters out looking for saronite vapor clouds.

This seemed like a reward for working on Mimiron over the last few weeks. We spent at least an hour on him this evening and once we had our healer/dps balance set, we easily made it into phase 4.

We rounded out the night with a few attempts on Yogg, just to get to see the fight. Next week, its for real.

Thanks Thorim!

Boss Kills,Ulduar — Kawaihae

Last week we took two new bosses, Freya and Thorim. We required multiple attempts on Thorim to get the balance between the hallway Gauntlet and the arena floor just right, but were well rewarded upon finally getting the job done. On our last raid day of the week, we did go on to encounter Mimiron and made it into phase 3. With the experience of a few groups already downing Mimiron in ten man versions, this week will most likely have us freeing all the keepers.
