Thaddius and Sapphiron Veinticinco

Naxx,Northrend — Kawaihae

The last force between us and the upper reaches of Naxx was Thaddius. Last week he stymied us. For the first seven or eight attempts it looked like he would hold his ground again. Small breaks and raid adjustments do wonders. The picture below is from our second to last attempt.

It was later in the evening that we stood on the edge of Sapphiron’s chamber with some frost pieces being made just minutes before the encounter. One shotting a boss is always good for morale.

We did make two attempts at Kel’Thuzad before closing out the raiding week, two very nice attempts. Our work here is not yet done.

Steel Legion: Sitrep

Just News,Northrend — Kawaihae

Naxxramas ten man is cleared. There are thirty two 80s in the guild. Many are within a few quests of reaching max level. We’ve done the Wintergrasp boss and had an evening’s attempts at Malygos.

Tomorrow night will most likely be our first attempt at 25 man content. Having seen the fights in 10 man will help a lot. More to report soon.

Naxx Spider Wing Cleared on 10 man. More 80s soon.

Naxx,Northrend — Kawaihae

Our first 80 was Kaimelan, followed minutes later by Butchone. Followed hours and days later by the rest of the paladins…

But we did manage a 10 man in Naxx and cleared out the Spider Wing and one shotted Noth. Grats to Delroy, Erilolanna, Butchone, Astaraell, Hugeone, Eliwar, Rudolpho, Kaimelan, Mosious, and Dira for those first 10 man kills.

As we progress along, carving out heroics, professional levels, and practically have “grats” macro’d for our new 80s and fresh dings, we all have our eyes set upon one thing: 25 man raids. We were nearly there this week. Next week for sure.

The Journey to 80

Northrend — Kawaihae

It’s Friday evening and we have breached the shores of Northrend. At the moment we have 21 people level 71 or higher. Our Paladin CO, Butchone, leads the pack at level 74. About 10 of us are level 72 and the rest 71. After this weekend we will have a good idea of who the first Legionnaires capable of 25 man raid content will be.

So far our T6 gear is holding up remarkably well. No quest reward or drop has proven yet to surpass the gear we wear now. Many of the mana drinks go untouched, for as of yet, in dungeons or questing, mana is not a problem. It seems that the only deaths are caused by Horde, and we manage to hand out the stick beatings just as good.

Next Monday we’ll see what dungeons we’re capable of running. One thing about Northrend, the scenery is absolutely stunning. There is so much to see and do. And we’re doing it, all the while focusing on gaining levels.
