Thursday, March 18, 2010 : Did Your Magic Betray You?
|
Shanthrax |
Sindragosa's death is behind us, and it looks like we won't have much more trouble getting her down. Just remember, the rocket (triangle) and the moon go up the stairs.
 It's going to be a fun learn on Lich King!

Thursday, February 18, 2010 : Progress
|
Shanthrax |
After some practice on both Blood Queen Lana'thel and Valithria Dreamwalker, we finally killed both of them all in the same night. It's amazing what we can do when everyone focuses. Don't forget to check out videos and strategy guides for Sindragosa and bring your A game on Sunday. Maybe this will be a record week!

Thursday, January 21, 2010 : Good NEWS Everyone, We Killed Putricide
|
Shanthrax |
I didn't get a screen shot of everyone posed around his corpse, but I'm hoping this action shot really captures the essence of FUN we had as we worked this guy down. This isn't actually the attempt that we killed him on, far too many people were dead, but I'm hoping you find the picture of pope as an angel pleasing.

Thursday, January 7, 2010 : New Content and the Bench
|
Shanthrax |
I am so glad I took that last screenshot of the twins, considering that a Blizzard change has made us rethink and relearn our strategy. While we're doing that, we are simultaneously learning new boss fights in Ice Crown Citadel. The first wave of fights didn't seem terribly difficult, we breezed through Saurfang, with only some minor difficulties on Deathwhisper. (She's been nerfed now, so maybe even our Sat Alt-Group can get past her.)
New content tends to bring renewed interest, so we do have a lot more signups than we did in November and December (and recruitment due to low numbers during that period has also somewhat bloated our numbers). For those sitting out, I have a very simple system. If I sit you out for a raid, I put your name in a little notebook and the date. The next time I need to sit someone out, I pick a different name. I also try to not exclude the same person on the same day. For instance, if you sat out on a Wed when we did new content, I will make every effort not to sit you out the following week on new content day.
You may notice that some people never get sit out. This is true. Some people are far too necessary or bring a utility that cannot be replaced. That's just the reality of running a very small core of raiders, we may only have ONE of a certain type. Alternately, some people have made themselves stand out in DPS and I'll rarely drop them from the raid. Remember that always, the final goal is PROGRESSION.
Consider also that my little notebook only tracks those who have sat out recently. I do not track whether you have been in a raid recently due to availability. Sometimes you may have had obligations and weren't raiding for a week or have had sporadic attendance, and think "wow, finally I get a night to raid". Sorry, I don't actually consider that when deciding who to exclude from a raid, I look at the notebook and go "look, player A hasn't been sat since November". Player A might also have not signed up for 2 weeks either, which is irrelevant.
Final note: none of this applies to 10 man raid formation, that's a whole other story.

Friday, December 4, 2009 : Closing In

Shanthrax |
We managed to get the Twin Val'kyr down two weeks ago. Here's the screenshot to prove it - just ignore that pile of bones there in the doorway, it was totally laying there when we got in.
