Another ICC boss falls before us...
Recently in Wrath of the Lich King Category
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...
Deathbringer Saurfang, who was rapidly becoming the Aran of this expansion, finally fell last night, although it was touch and go...
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.
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...
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....
Finally, Blayse is 80!
Another group of Ravens ventured into Utgarde Keep last night on a spoiler-free, Blayse led mission.
A few wipes as we threw ourselves against bosses with no idea what to expect, and quite a few drops which were greeded as nobody could use them (and we had no enchanter). But it was pretty good run nonetheless - I do remember Popps being excited with one drop, and I think everyone had lots of fun! The detail in the graphics is amazing btw, and although the keep is fairly straightforward, there were enough twists to have some 'ooh hang on' moments :)
It was only the 2nd time I'd ever lead a group, so thanks for being patient guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it :) Oh and thanks for letting me try some 'inventive' tactics with cc :)

The Vykul of Utgrade Keep become the first group to fall to the Ravens in Northrend.
Psia, Leafshine, Gradjo, Rivelinho and Andromache conquered the dungeon in just over an hour...
It's a whole new frontier...
