Worker Woes

Just a brief note to explain my absence: work has been cutting into my blogging time lately. As a small update on the raiding scene: we managed to get Vashj down to 16% last Sunday with a solid effort to get through Phase 2. It was difficult, but things seem to be gelling nicely. As always, stay focused and keep in touch

Raiding last night...

On January 27th, our Mythos and Leviathan (commonly called Mythiathan) raid downed Fathom-Lord Karathress for the first time. One of our raiders made this banner to commemorate the event.

Twenty five of us went into Serpentshrine Cavern last night. Just the same as on Tuesday. The results however, were markedly different. We cleared 5 out of 6 bosses in under three hours. Hydross the Unstable, the Lurker Below, Leotheras the Blind, Morogrim Tidewalker and Fathom-Lord Karathress were all the victims of Mythos/Leviathan one-shots. We wiped once, on an ill-fated double bog giant pull. But we had the bosses' numbers. We had a few more of the regular raiders there than we did on Tuesday, but, by and large, the rosters looked very similar. I think it has a lot to do with humility we were taught on Tuesday. Ventrilo was a lot quieter last night, not as many flippant comments, not as many strategy suggestions from the peanut gallery. We listened and we executed. This was SSC as it was meant to be conducted. It was a marvel to behold. My congratulations to our raid leaders Ritavu and Asashin and all involved in the raid. See you on Sunday when we will behold the fall of Lady Vashj.

Hydross pwns Mythos

Last night was brutal. We have been downing Hydross on a weekly basis with minimal trouble for the last couple of months but something was off last night. We wiped on him a total of five times before calling the raid for the night. I know Ritavu (our raid leader) was disgusted with our performance and for good reason. We were uncoordinated, standing all over the place, catching tanks in water tombs and generally being unfocused. Myi (one of our mages) blames it on a sunspot. I think it was a sobering reminder of what being arrogant can result in.
