We had a fun night Monday night.

1-shotted Auriaya which was a hectic but fun fight.

We then spent some time clearing trash to mimiron, since our OT mentioned that this was what tankspot recommended for progression.

We went there, and watched lores vid of it. Took one stab at him and decided Freya was better. We had much fun on the robots though. :-D It's quite cool to ride a robot for a few mins.

I think, overall that the robots actually...

Yey, had a good night in Ulduar. Only 2 bosses down, we had 3-4 tries on Iron Council, then I decided that I was better suited for add-tanking, and the OT better suited for Steelbreaker. Situational awareness and all that.

In general I have found Ulduar to be much more demanding on the offtank, a lot of movement, a lot of spatial awareness. Offtanking on most encounters in Ulduar (that I have tried) actually demands more from the offtank, than from the main tank.

Anyway,...

On my last post, everything had taken a turn for the worse - and even Vene was bonking me on the noggin, for having an overly negative attitude.

This lockout, I started with a positive attitude, and even though we had some wipes, my positive attittude somehow affected the raid as a whole.

People were on time, we downed the first 4 bosses, only problems was on ignis (new MT) - however he got down, and everything was good.

After that we had two wipes on...

So, we went off to Ulduar, for some reason 4 of our signup decided not to show up, so we had to roll with pugs. 3 had forgotten it was the last day of school (how on earth you can forget that is beyond me). And one had to save his brother in a kite-surfing related accident.

We ended up 2-shotting all bosses in the antechamber, I got some bracers, and most loot went to the guild.

The raid setup was far from optimal, and even with vent, it seemed like our puggers weren't...

So, since this is my first blog post, maybe I should introduce myself.

Before i rolled my warrior, I played a Rogue in a very casual guild, which i eventually left, sometime doring TBC. I grabbed a couple of people, and started a guild, focusing on 10-man content.

Now, I lead a 10-man guild, that raids 3-4 times a week. I think I'd put us in the serious casual box, if anyone asked. Currently we are delving into 25-man raids, simply because we found that it eases out...
