Riding a Wave of Confidence

Posted 11-04-2009 at 11:00 AM by Khue (I can tnak!)

It all started with our 25m Heroic Beasts kill. I am not going to lie, we paid for that kill with repair bills and pot purchases. 94 attempts later we finally get the pay off we needed. This was a week ago. Whether it was a fluke the first time or not remains to be seen but our subsequent kill seems to prove otherwise.

While finally having the right mix of people from the guild be online and recruiting key positions we were lacking seemed to make the overall difference, I can't help...

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Valy'nar Frags

Last night was such a weird raid, I feel like I have to blog about it.

25 Man ToC is now on farm and we do a 2 hour clear of the instance. Ulduar has been on farm for close to 2 months now. We officially put it to a farm status mid July. What this leaves us with is abbreviated Thursday night raids. We have low DPS issues so that puts 25 Man Heroic ToC out of reach for us at the moment. The tanks and healers are fine, but controlling Kobols and dealing with timely kills of Acid and...

The Raiding Tripod

Everyone knows what this is. We call it different things of course. What I am referring to is the raiding composition trinity: Tanking, Healing, and DPS. I think one thing that has always fascinated me about a raiding guild, is the fact that I have never been in a situation where the DPS core is the strength of the group. There always seems to be 1-5 outstanding members of the DPS core, which carry the entire guild.

The reason why I bring this up, is that heroic Anub'arak is definitely...

Progressed

Posted 08-07-2009 at 09:16 AM by Khue (I can tnak!)

Lots of things have changed for me in the last 2 months or so as far as raiding goes. I have been made an officer as of 2 weeks ago. That in itself is pretty cool. As the tank lead I suppose it was a logical next step for guild management.

We finally downed Yog. I think the big turning point was us finally cutting some people that were problems. We had a few people that could not wrap their minds around the Yog mechanics and sadly we had to let them go. I wish them luck in the future...

Progress

Posted 06-26-2009 at 07:17 AM by Khue (I can tnak!)

So, we can now clear to Yogg 25 in one night. We did it Tuesday going from FL, to XT, to Kologarn, then the watchers, and Vez. That's a total of 8 bosses in one night. We took some shots at Yogg last night and it will certainly be a challenge. A full clear is within sight though, which is always rewarding. A couple observations about progress so far:
  • Prot warrior 4 piece set bonus is OP. I am now ridiculously hard to kill.
  • Ulduar takes a 9 man carry and 16 of anyone else.
  • Raid awareness
