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...

Sometimes it's just wrong.

The Fall of Naxxramas

2009-09-28T23:17:58Z

So, finally we were back in Naxx last night. Sapphiron went down first time, and pretty easily:

Which left us Kel'Thuzad. He was rather more ticksy, and after three wipes, and some personnel changes, we made a couple of last nine-man attempts:

And that's Naxx cleared. Next stop: The Eye of Eternity

Construct Wing Cleared

2009-08-26T13:48:03Z

On Monday night, the one wing of Naxxramas that we'd yet to clear fell before the Ravens.

Gluth had been the stumbling block, but a new tactic saw him fall. Gradjo tanked the Zombie Chow adds, with Shanda healing him, while Lashka and Deacus tanked the boss. He went down, first time:

Next up was Thaddius. One wipe, due to some positioning issues on the two pre-boss mobs, but then down he went...

Two bosses to go...

Naxx Military Wing: 1st Two Bosses Down

2009-08-05T10:11:13Z

Monday night's first excursion into the military wing brought us these two kills:

Razuvious went down on the second attempt, once Gradjo and Deacus got the hang of mind-controlling the students.

Gothik went down first time, although it was rather touch-and-go towards the end. We were 9-manning it anyway, and the death of a couple of DPS during the fght meant that we hit the 100% stats reduction....

It had to happen, happen sometime

Naxx: Plague Quarter Cleared

2009-07-13T23:30:52Z

A good night last night. Noth went down like the victim that he is, as normal. And then we danced. And we danced quite a lot. But finally, we danced Heigan to death:

And then, we went for a chat with Loatheb, who proved to be less challenging than the trash before him, going down first time:

Plague Quarter cleared.

Ravens return to Molten Core

2009-06-23T22:32:14Z

Three week ago the Ravens made a return to Molten Core.

Half dozen toons were run through the attunement process, then we charged in, pretty much rubbing out whatever came in our path. Although I do remember some tricky bits with comments along the lines of 'think how hard this would be to coordinate with 40 of us'.

I'm sure some people have better recollection of events than I... I think I was on port that night and in any case was too busy taking photos to really pay attention.

So here they are, Blayse's travel snaps:

First Two Construct Wing Bosses Down

Patchwerk fell on our first attempt:

But Grobulus took a whole two attempts to get him down:

Not a bad night's progress.
