The hard mode designs that we've seen so far from Blizzard, taking a broad definition of "hard mode" and going back to Classic, fall into a few categories:
  1. Timed run: Clear part of the instance very fast and kill a boss before the opportunity to get a reward vanishes: Strat45, Shattered Halls, ZA bear, CoS drake, Arachnophobia, Thorim.
  2. Brute force: Kill a boss while adds are up, ignoring some timed mechanics, or otherwise overwhelming the encounter: Faerlina and KT, Sarth 3D

Well, its been a while since I've updated the blog on tankspot.com I've been meaning to but unfortunately working 60-70 hours a week along with raiding 5 days a week, and still trying to have a wifey and friends is pretty rough!

Yes I have so much to do, so exciting, but my busy life isn't what this is about, this blog is about Ulduar, and my experience as one of the best tanks out there, with the smallest amount of time to play!

I began 3.1 with a full head of steam,...

Last night was crazy good, after the abominably slack raid we had on thursday. We 2shot thorim and freya, and decided to spend the rest of the night on a boss we hadn't worked on in 25 man at all before. Mimiron.

And he went down on the third try, minor nailbiter of a finish as we had lost quite a few people earlier on, but we held in, showed some grit and before I knew it i saw the achievement pop up.

Wrath has been out about 7 or 8 months now. Some players are just now reaching level 80. Whether it’s an alt, or someone who is new to the game, it...

How about letting go - just a little?

Posted 06-16-2009 at 04:13 AM by Aethelas

Yesterday was marked and coloured completely by a new discovery about myself and my tanking. It took a little while to fully sink in, and all in all I am not sure on how I feel about it. I am quite sure I feel a lot about it and the first disappointment has now gradually made place for silent determination. However - I feel that my silent determination might not be the right direction after reading Veneretio's excellent post today.
