On June 28th ten of our guild killed Arthas. This is just a prelim to the twenty five man fight. Yesterday evening another ten cleared Ruby Sanctum.
This evening we’ll be working on phase three of Sindragosa 25.
We got him. Screenshot soon.
Last Monday the SL crew took Lana’thel to 10%. We made one small adjustment to the raid geometry and went ahead and three shot her this evening. It was about time. Our sights are set on Professor Putricide now. Magic Eight Ball says about getting him down this week: Signs point to yes.
The night started out with 30+ people on so we were able to fine tune the raid and get things moving quickly. This landed us on Festergut’s front door stop with about 2 hours of raid time left. We ran through the fight many times and made various adjustments. On two attempts we were under 2%. What we needed was some solid learning, and we got it.
On our last try we had to sneak past Valkyrie trash by the ice citadel core and we knew it was our last go of the night due to time and the reality of having to clear trash again. Any reader here knows that as the formula goes, victory goes to the persistent. We are persistent. We won. Grats to all those who kept at it and didn’t give up.
Being so early in the week this has set us up for other encounters in the Citadel. We’re looking at Dreamwalker, Princes, the Blood Queen and Rotface next.
The Queen is dead!! At least on ten man. A very fun fight that we hope to get down 25 man as well fairly soon. This fight came down to the wire, actually past the wire, she enraged killed one person then she died. The next night we came in and had 6 seconds to spare before enrage with different people. That’s what we call progress and learning the fight.
Deathbringer Saurfang cleared. It took us a few tries to get our strategy down. Given that we were melee heavy we were having some trouble with the blood beast adds, until we turned our lack of ranged dps into an advantage. Our rogues, death knights, warriors and ferals stunned and killed two blood beasts in the span of one or two stun spells.
It’s nice to be able to dial in a fight and see progress attempt after attempt.
At the end of our most recent raiding week we were a few short of a 25 man instance, so we fell back to our two 10 man groups. Each group worked on their own version of Festergut and managed to down him. One of these groups were able to get him without the aid of heroism.
Next week Rotface and Putricide. And more 25 man progress.
This week Steel Legion saw much progress. On the 25 man front we cleared Lady Deathwhisper and passed the test of the airship gun battle. We made a few attempts on Saurfang before running out of time. Monday we will have more.
Two 10-man groups successfully made it into the plague wing of Ice Crown Citadel and one got Fester Gut to 15%. By this time next week, we’ll be working on the Professor.
