Malygos Ten Man to Dragon Phase

As we have yet to unlock Malygos 25 man, the better geared and those with a flexible schedule made a series of attempts on Malygos. Steady progress was made as we picked up the fight. The first phase stretched the healer’s gear performance to the limits. Hopping into anti-magic spheres and avoiding deep breaths seemed easy by comparison.

There isn’t really anything that can prepare one for the fun and chaos of the final part of the fight. While doing the Aces High daily will help somewhat, the actual encounter is unlike anything we raiders have faced before.

Tonight we’ll finish up the contruct wing in 25 man Naxx and get to the upper reaches of Kel’Thuzad’s lair. After the frost wyrm, we’ll be able to bring in a full crew of 25 Legionnaires to see Malygos.

A Happy Doctoran

Gruul's Lair,Just News,Karazhan — Kawaihae

After running raids against Prince Malchezar since sometime in the summer, Light’s Justice has not dropped for Steel Legion once. But last night it did. Doctoran was the happy tree druid who snagged it. Grats Doc. In other news King Maulgar has been one shotted for the last three weeks. Maulgar and his buddies are now on farm status. Gruul is not quite on farm but we do get him down. Monday we are looking towards Magtheridon. Cubes?

After a pause, back at it

Just News,Karazhan — Kawaihae

The academic year has brought change to the guild. New members arriving, some taking a break. It was good to get back to two groups running Karazhan again. Monday we are heading for Gruul’s.

Karazhan, Karazhan Twice the Fun

Karazhan — Kawaihae

Our goal for the week was to get at least to Curator with two groups. We did that with one of the groups in one evening. The other group got through Aran. Saturday hopefully both groups will take out Prince and the bonus bosses. Monday we are heading back to Gruul’s Lair.

Two Karazhan Groups, Two Shoulder Drops

Gruul's Lair,Just News,Karazhan — Kawaihae

King Maulgar Down again, much easier this time around. We have had an influx of people to the guild and now have a full roster, save a few healing spots. We studied up on Gruul techniques, on the job training, if you will, and got him to 30%. Our strategy of stubborness and persistence is starting to pay off.

This week will mark the first time that we will be running two groups into Karazhan. We’ll see how it goes, the goal is to get twice as much loot distributed per week. We may not clear with both groups, but more people will get geared up this way.

That’s our plan and we’re sticking to it.

Gruul Give Us Your Lunch Money

Gruul's Lair,Karazhan — Kawaihae

Tonight we got Gruul down to 43%. Numbers and Steel Legion do not always play well together. For instance, we have a love affair with the number one. I wish I had a dollar for every time we got a boss to 1%…

On the whole we improved, last Thursday we got Gruul to 58%. This week 43%. A good measure of progress. We didn’t have the best group makeup, but I can assure you we had the best fun. I think the best time had by all was when three Lair Brutes cleaved us to smithereens in less than 8 seconds. I couldn’t talk on vent for like 5 minutes I was laughing so hard.

But we did manage to improve. With the right group we will do better and get our game on. It’s only a matter of time now when we will hold this guy up by his ankles and shake him loose for lunch money, i.e.. our T4 leggings.

We took out any residual frustrations on Netherspite. Karazhan cleared again.

Gruul’s Lair Addiction, Karazhan Log

Gruul's Lair,Karazhan — Kawaihae

The signs of addiction are starting to settle in. We really like running 25 man raids. We started doing Kara and farming for raptor mounts in ZG with our standbys, but its hard to resit the call of Gruul’s lair when you have 25 people on. So after clearing Curator, we headed over to Gruul’s lair for a couple of hours. We got the priest and warlock down and were making progress on the pulls before calling it good for the night.

Then we came back to Karazhan to set up shop in Aran’s library. So we are set for a Karazhan hat run on Saturday and clearage on Monday.

A new feature to the web site has been added. A weekly log of boss kills in Karazhan. This should serve a few purposes. It will be a record of our progress, and serve as a means of letting people know where we are from week to week, even if the current status in Karazhan isn’t news worthy any more.
