We are getting Sindragosa to phase 3 nearly every time we engage. At this points its a matter of refining the dps in that phase.
In Ruby Sanctum, we have nearly finished there as well, again, its a matter of balancing the shadow and flame aspects. On the horizon is Lich King 25 and heroic modes.
Yes there is the picture. Other updates include getting much closer to Lich King on 10 man and getting to phase three on Sindragosa. We need paladins.
As the saying goes, “Screen shot or it did not happen”. It happened despite the best efforts of goblin engineers and troglodyte odds makers working for Blizzard. Grats Nellie!
Steel Legion heals and rescues Valithria Dreamwalker. Yes. After quite a bit of practice and rotation of classes, we cleared this encounter leaving only Putricide, Sindragosa and the Vampire Queen Lana’thel in our way before the Lich King.
We do have a couple of ten man crews exploring the upper reaches of ICC as well. Our Tuesday/Sunday team is up to Arthas himself and is working on phase 2 (after phase 1 and 1.5).
Thanks to a recent in-flux of recruits we are set for continued progress in twenty-five man content.
Let’s be fair. Girl’s aren’t always the solution.
I’ve posted a few good jokes here on April 1st. There was the immortal “we’re going to Sisters of Elune” and the new dkp program. But this year, the joke didn’t come to me. A few lame ideas popped into mind, but really, nothing worthy of our guild. So rather than put up something lame, this year is going in a different direction.
This year is going to be the opposite of a joke. Its going to be something real or something that could be. Something that matters.
Go to the site, get inspired. Do something real, donate through the site, or spend time in your own community volunteer some time, hell, take a raid night off and read to your kids. Do something.
Do it.
While we are a twenty five man raiding guild, there are those who pull double duty and work to learn the fights on off raid nights. Usually Malatov has been leading these raids, but Gabrieal or Rudolpho will sometimes lead as well.
These ten man efforts are crucial in terms of learning the fights and teaching the rest of us how things go, far more than mere strat reads or videos will go. One of our ten man crews took advantage of the recent 10% King Wrynn buff to down Putricide and Sindragosa on Tuesday.
This leaves us with an Arthas attempt/kill looming on Sunday night, when this ten man crew usually runs. Meanwhile our 25 man roster rand about four short on Wednesday, but we still cleared through Saurfang. Good gear was handed out and this sets us up well for the rest of the week.
Starting this evening we’ll be ending our raids one hour earlier than normal. Out raids now run from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Darkspear server time. Our intention is to run more focused raids for the first three hours then break into ten mans, or battlegrounds, or dailies, or whatever people feel like doing.
That’s the deal.
On the supposed night before the release of Ice Crown Citadel we were still making progress on Heroic TOC. Just nabbing Jarraxas was nice. We started a strat with three healers, then we went to two and refined things a bit. Our final successful attempt was close and cost us all of our cooldowns, but was also quite rewarding.
Things are looking up on the recruitment front as well. Although not quite up to 25 man strength, we have been attracting some nice people to the guild lately. Anyone interested in rounding out our roster can take a look at what classes we need.
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.
