Early nap for Yor’sahj as nam killed the second heroic boss in Dragon Soul.
Saturday, mostly on a whim, Jee wanted to go hardmode EV to see how it differed from normal. Lacking enough level 50 player for a 8 man raid we got our regular stand-in Procch and someone from the general chat. Yes, you read the last part right.
The dreadful turret start got easier once we learned the turret could be cc’d. On the first boss we ran into the enrage timer a few times until at 2% the Operation seemed to fail once again, but Jee managed to bring him down very shortly after.
We went on to the second boss, and performed better cause here we had not one, but two people left at enrage. See, improvement!
The puzzle boss was pretty easy for a hardmode fight. The challenge was waiting for the other side to finish
The remaining encounter was done on the second attempt once the positioning was corrected.
After the operation was complete we started on the project pink lightsaber, but got distracted by a datacron
Remember this guy?
We started the raid lockout on 4.3 on Thursday and cleared up to and including the new boat encounter. Sunday we were able to ride the back despite Deathwing’s best attempt to barrel roll. On the last Deathwing encounter we ran into trouble with the Cataclysm with the setup we had. Thanks to the cute Tauren Alysanne for helping us out on Sunday.
Due to computer trouble we were one tank down and had to redo the raid compostion drafting in the M.I.A. druid Runningfree. Some nice dual healing by Jaelin and Fisteh made for a shorter fight with our priest Marijana reaching for her shadow powers.
After a couple of warm ups we entered second phase , but were one dps down and had to start over. Some more attemps and Deathwing was finally down. Azeroth is safe again until next expansion when the Pandas mess things up!
Sunblazer got Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps
Schnaps got Blade of the Unmaker
On Thursday nam managed to kill Ragnaros despite Schnaps missing! Or maybe…. no nevermind. Having mastered the art of assigning and counting it was pretty easy. Never knew you could bounce meteors either, neat!

Maybe if a shaman didn't make all news posts other classes would be present. Then again, shamans are awesome!
Doug was cheated out of Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor, damn trolls!
Runningfree got Helm of the Fiery Vanquisher.
Ds got Choker of the Vanquished Lord.
In other news:
- Marrianne and Malacai dinged 85 right into itemlevel 353…
- Depp cleared Zul Aman
- Jiroh killed a Occu’thar in Baradin Hold
A Song of Ice and Fire it was not, but Firelands was released in the latest patch and nam ventured in at the Sulfuron Spire.
On Thursday we killed 2 bosses, on Sunday we rested, on Monday 2 and Tuesday 2. Some of you will have made that into 6 of 7 bosses downed.
We also got some tries in on Ragnaros, and ended up at second phase before we found our way back home.
Some nice new mechanics and overall not too difficult.
Things got heated in the kitchen this week and after making too much fuss, Chef Toofus ended up on the floor.
In other news, nam dinged 24 and cleared Throne of the Four Winds with 10 people.
Saku obtained Sky Strider Belt
Some troll got Soul Breath Belt
After some solid attempts this evening the two drakes succumbed to our might. We had to use some tries to work it out until Schnaps mastered the art of recuperating, and after that there was no turning back. Sunblazer lost out on the tanking trinket though, there really is no justice in the world!
Congratulations on an awesome trinket Saku, well deserved! Too bad for Océanè who missed a helmet yet again! The real stars of the show were the singing sunflowers who gave a lot of inspiration and morale boosting.
With Doug no longer the weakest link being away on holiday nam got the heroic defense system down on the 27th of March.
Tide goes in, tide goes out, you can’t explain that. Just like that the Oceane was back and heroic Magmaw dropped on first attempt Thursday, and we had no explanation for that either. Except for Doug not having to heal.. pure coincidence. Cardiz, the High Warlord, made a guest appearance too.
Cardiz relunctantly got Flame Pillar Leggings
Schnapknight did not get Akirus the Worm-Breaker because he was watching City exit the European League.
Saku got heroic tier gloves.
Would be a lot easier if raidmembers weren’t so noisy and knew that fire was bad. Especially on the tank spot… We got the kill though tonight after a few tries, much quicker than we anticipated. Good work avoiding the fire in the end anonymous troll shadow priest.
Just lacking Magmaw and Omnitron Defense System now before we start the struggle on Nefarian.
Cardiz got a heroic bell.
Ds some heroic shoes.
Have you ever tried building something to scale? Despite your best efforts it turns out wrong somehow. Something Doug found out when visiting Molten Core with a mace.
