After cancelling wednesdays raid because of the incredible crapness that is the Stormscale server, we quickly did the Flame Leviathan hard mode and got to work on the hard mode of XT-002 Deconstructor. It’s a fight that is pretty finely tuned between a tight enrage timer and heavy raid damage, and it really felt good to kill it after 15 or so tries. The kill itself wasn’t exactly perfect, but certainly good enough.
A slightly horrible raidweek came to an end with a new achievement. We defeated Yogg-Saron with only three keepers. The one that did not get to join was Mr. Roboto himself, Mimiron. After three fairly decent tries we got him down on the fourth, which is something we are pleased with.
Sorry for the title, but it was the only way of getting all the achievements we did Friday.
We did some other achievements on Sunday, hopefully Superku will tell about it since he got the fancy loot.
XT-002 Deconstructor was really easy after the nerf Blizzard did to him like the other 10 man hardmodes. Then again, we haven’t tried Mimiron yet, but will next week.
After a day of trials and lots and lots of errors, we came back to Flame Leviathan with all 4 towers up. After not having much problems at all with 3 towers, we sort of thought this wouldn’t be much harder. But 50% more HP turned out to be quite a lot in what is basically a fight of attrition, and led to things like this. But after a few more tries, we finally did it.
Ripley: “I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
So we did. Except for the “take off” part. We didn’t really do that. A couple of grapple happy few did though. They totally took off. Go them!
The server was slightly better than usual for a Wednesday night. A small break while it was at it’s worst was all we really needed, which is a welcome diversion from the usual cancelled raids on wednesdays. This means we will get lots of time for hard modes the rest of this week.
