The Official first in the guild to nab the Glory of the Hero Achievement is Jazira pictured below. In other guild news we’ve carved out all the hard modes in Ulduar except Mimiron. That will come soon. This is all a stop gap though. We continue to press for more recruitment and getting back to 25 man content.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Darnasus. Wednesday, October 14.
Steel Legion will host a PUG run at Ulduar 25 this evening. Our raids form at 7:30 p.m. Whisper Kawaihae for an invite. The plan will be to head straight for the Keepers and beyond. For this first week no hard modes will be attempted, except on Leviathan (we’ll do one tower up).
Loot will be given on an as need basis with /roll 100s as the determinging factor. Fragments of Val’anyr will be master looted to Steel Legion’s Jazira. Jazira already has 17 fragments and is our Val’anyr designate.
Kawaihae, GM Steel Legion
We decided to change things up a bit last night and went back to Ulduar. After a few adjustments we defeated the Thorim encounter on hard mode. He is much more enthusiatic upon being freed in hard mode than normal. We also didn’t realize how close we were to beating Hodir on hard either. Next week, we’ll whittle those last few seconds down.
We continue to seek new recruits for 25 man content. All classes are open at this point and there are some class officer and raid leader positions available to those who have that extra something to give. On the raiding front, we continue to do what we can with typically 15-20 people showing up for raids.
Last night we attempted 10 man TOC heroic for four hours. We wiped. A lot. Thirty attempts? Hey, we are nothing if not stubborn. But being stubborn doesn’t get you progression, improvement does. With this particular ten man crew we started out having a very difficult time with just Gormok. But at the end of the evening we were well past the worms and facing Icehowl, getting him to 20% on our best shot.
One benefit of having suffered a mass exodus of raiders is that it’s easy to know who the stubborn loyal ones are. They’re the ones who run back to the instance with you and try to figure out what can be improved for the next attempt.
