Eye, eye, eye - Occu'thar Down!

2011-10-30T16:10:51Z

Last Monday, we dropped our first boss of the second Cataclysm raid tier - Occu'thar. w00t!

Two down, an escape from Blackwing Descent...

It's been a long time since we dropped a brand new boss. And it's been longer still since we did our first complete clear of an instance.

Tonight, we did both.

First up, we said "goodnight Gracie" to Halfus in the Bastion of Twilight:

And then, at long, long last, we returned to the Blackwing Descent and finally put paid to Nefarian:

We got a couple of nice achievements for our pains:

A Night of Unfinished Business

2011-02-14T23:03:39Z

After many attempts, finally we took down Yogg-Saron:

Halion, alas, had a strange reluctance to fall down in front of us, and after the loss of Kaboodle to sleepy-time, we went to try our luck in the Trial of the Crusader.

We cleared the place in about 30 mins. Might be time to make our way to the Cataclysm raids...

A little late, perhaps. But we got him. :-)

Rotface Redux

Here's the last minute or so of our Rotface kill from last night. As you can see from the video, I didn't have much to do then...

Lagtastic!

I'm not sure the WoW over iPhone tethering experiment was a great success. This is the sort of lag I was getting during Gunship:

Rotface Down

2010-07-12T22:56:53Z

Another ICC boss falls before us...

Festergut Falls

2010-06-15T08:05:18Z

A mere week after Saurfang fell, we get Festergut down on the third attempt. Some strong attempts on Rottface and some good learning on Valithria Dreamwalker suggests that we might be able to push forwards in the coming weeks...

Saurfang Goes Splat

2010-06-08T17:00:12Z

Deathbringer Saurfang, who was rapidly becoming the Aran of this expansion, finally fell last night, although it was touch and go...

Two More ICC Bosses Down

2010-04-19T22:31:28Z

Tonight, we finally got our second ICC boss down:

But it wasn't just Lady Deathwhisper who fell - we got the Gunship Battle sorted, too:

How long until Saurfang falls?

Marrowgar Down

The defeat of our first Icecrown Citadel boss:

This marks the first ever time we've killed a boss at the cutting edge of raiding.

Onyxia 2.0 Down

2010-03-17T15:50:15Z

About a fortnight late, here's the victory shot from our Onyxia kill:

She went down on our second attempt that time. Two weeks laters, it took us four attempts...

XT-002 Deconstructor, Razorscale and Kologarn down

2009-12-15T07:58:41Z

Last night was the guild's secon major push into Ulduar, and it went well.

Flame Leviathan went down on the second attempt, so we then pottered off to see XT-002 Deconstructor, who went down first time:

We then one-shotted Ignis before going to have a chat with Razorscale. This was a long fight - long enough that my client crashed, I had to force a reboot, and was able to log back in and rejoin the fight before the end. And the end was good:

Shanda had to call off then, so we substituted in Almaron. However, two healers prove, uh, sub-optimal in the Kologarn fight, so Hex switched to healing. And Lokè discovered that Kologarn, in fact, lives in a hole. (Riv double checked this for us later). But, on the fourth attempt, down he went:

I believe the plan is to extend the lock-out and push deeper into Ulduar.

And you can blame Master Deacus for the music choice, because he said the last vid reminded him of something...
