Heroic: Sartharion + 2 Drakes Down for Outermost!

Hey all, sorry for the long hiatus in posts -- it was a rough week.

So as a guild we walked into Sartharion to make more progression work on Sartharion +2D. We had 21 people to start, and ended with 23 people in raid. Yes, our first 2D kill was with 23 people! To add to the bit of hilarity, I was healing lol. So we had 5 healers in there, including me (which I'll say that I was about a 1/2 healer since none of my gear was enchanted haha).

Much to our surprise it worked and our kill was smooth as butter! Since I had so much practice as melee dodging the firewalls and avoiding adds, it was a pretty easy transition when healing. I only got hit by the firewall once, and I bubbled out of it :).

I'm very proud of our guild's accomplishments so far, we're definitely progressing well as a newer guild on the server. All we have left for progression is Sartharion 3D and the 6 minute Malygos kill. Should be interesting and keep us occupied until Ulduar (I hope).

I hope all of you have a pleasant rest of the day, I'm taking Monday in stride and trying to not let nerves and stress get to me with my deadlines approaching :P.

Welcome back!

Hey all,

Welcome back from your Valentine's Day weekend. I hope you all had an enjoyable one ( Mine was outstanding!).

I know I was out for a while, but hey -- I've come back with some news too ;).

After recovering from the wonderful weekend I spent with my love, we went in for some more progression work on 2D Sartharion last night.

WOW were we close to getting it. We had 2 awesome attempts that should have been a down and out but something went haywire. Our drake tank lost agro on the second drake... then that was followed by a breath for 12k+ on about 1/2 the raid, wiped out 3 healers, then the rest is history. SO CLOSE.

We spent 2.5 hours on him and finally gave in and just took him down once again with 1 drake for an easy kill to close out the night. We had tons of people D/Cing multiple times, had 4-5 people leave, so it was difficult to get everyone on the same page.

We'll be headed to Heroic Naxx / Malygos tonight again, so expect to see me in at least 1 new piece by tomorrow :D.

Sartharion 2D Moar AoE preez.

Just when you thought that Sartharion was a cake walk... He'll take a few of his buddies with him to wreak havoc!

So we walked into Sartharion for some more progression work on Sartharion 2D last night. Since the 3.0.8 patch they gave guilds benefit to going into the portals when they spawn for each drake. So what did we try to do? Zerg Sarth and his 2 buddies and said screw the portals. Did we succeed? Lets continue..

To be curt, no. We failed with brilliant shades of red as the blood of our bandwidth inclined guild members dropped like flys to big red circles of death. What caught most people is that these void zones are HUGE. You literally have to run away from it as soon as it spawns on the ground or you'll die. I'll admit I got burned once by it, but did I do it after that? Not once. These fights really require everyone to pay attention and have a decent computer and a good internet connection.

So after 2.5 hours of attempts, we said screw it, took down a 2nd drake and one shot Sarth + 1D. At least I took home that achievement with my 60g+ repair bill :P.

I guess something to write home about was that both me and my girlfriend came out #1 and 2 on dps for the kill haha. Besides that it was a pretty uneventful night.

Oh yeah, we did happen to run 10 Maly and Sarth 1D on Sunday, and I picked up the shield off of Malygos for an off set piece :D. Pretty cool shield that one is.

I think we're headed back into Naxx tonight, so keep an eye out for a post of fun, slight boredom and possibly new lewts (zomg, NightKnight might get something new?) .
