Yogg Saron

So, we killed Yogg-Saron...US 4th I think, not too bad considering we stopped raiding before the XT hotfix on the first night. Decent loot as well (first seen drop on the caster dagger I think?).

Addendum about recruitment: We have been quite busy in Ulduar over the past few days. I should have responses for everyone who currently has a pending app by the end of this weekend. Thank you all again for your applications and your patience.

Raid Achievements Done

Posted on 12.30.08 by Failure

Finished both Glory of the Raider (last week) and Heroic: Glory of the Raider (today). Somehow managed immortal without 25 people in the raid most the time and with people chain DCing (DCs on Sapphiron and KT are pretty scary).

I believe that puts us at US 2nd for each of those achievements, and the first (US) guild to actually obtain both?

Malygos killed in sub 5 minutes for the Heroic achievement, talk about loosely tuned! Highly recommended for guilds to do this - it's very apparent that when Blizzard wants things to be tuned exactly, they need to nerf the fight within 2 weeks to make the community happy.

In any case, I guess we've gotten some random stuff done in the past week or two that I haven't bothered posting. I wasn't even aware until a week or 2 ago that apparently 10man achievements were worth something...

We did 25man Malygos in 4minutes and 15seconds. WoW Meter Online Report

We did 10man Malygos in about 4minutes. Don't have a parse, wasn't anything special, was insanely easy.

We did 10man Sartharion 3drake. God was it hard. First we had to make sure we had some decent raid synergy. Wait no, we didn't do that, we kept people in that got virtually no raid buffs. Okay, after we got that out of the way, we replaced our well geared main tank (warrior) with a death knight tank. That death knight was wearing some great blue tank items (I'd say at least 5-6) and a few DPS items even. After that, we went and got my alt shaman (that was still using some greens/blues at the time) into the raid. Then we spent a little time watching people be bad (believe it or not, it is not any harder to dodge lava walls with 3 drakes than it is with 1), and killed it later that night. Sarcasm aside, the fight is decently challenging, but it's nothing new, still has room for error, and compared to 25man - the biggest challenge really is getting the right people in.

Oh Yea, the most important thing! Risen earned the world first WoW Transsexual 2 weeks ago, and since then we have managed to get all of our main raiders except a few to gender change to female (if they were not already!).
