An Eternity... Do You Has It?

Well... we did it! We managed to get You Don't Have an Eternity (normal)! It took a few attempts (about 10), and a little bit of an unconventional group, but eventually RNG favored us and we managed to get him down!

Sadly, I didn't get to participate in phase three.... the Scions decided to light my feathers afire three times in a row at the very end of phase two, so I spent the rest of the attempt laying on my back watching the others fight Malygos.

Way to go, Legion! I'm proud of you!

3D Sarth, HERE WE COME!

For those who are interested, we used:

1 Prot Pally
1 Ret Paly
1 Arms Warrior
1 Shadow Priest
1 Boomkin
1 Rogue
1 Arcane Mage
1 Survival Hunter
1 Elemental Shaman
1 Resto Shaman

Malygos

Well, we didn't get a chance to try <6m Maly, but we did manage to do 8-man Maly, which was also on the list of required achievements for Glory of the Raider. We also made several attempts at Sartharion after finishing off all the Naxx10 requirements, but due to general exhaustion and lateness of hour, we decided to call it a night.

It was our first real attempt at doing sarth with more than 1 drake, and we skipped straight to 3, so I'm not terribly surprised that we didn't get it right away. Our strategy and group makeup wasn't quite ideal:

prot paly on drakes
frost DK on Sarth
fury warr on adds
ret pally
boomkin
ele shaman
surv. hunter
shadow priest
resto shaman
holy priest

However, we hope to try again next week, and we're switching the strategy and a few spec's around. This time we're looking to do:

Prot Pally on Drakes
Blood DK on Sarth
Prot Warrior on Adds
Holy Paly
Resto Shaman
Holy Priest
Boomkin
Ele Shaman
Surv Hunter
Shadow Priest

With 2 less DPS it will become more difficult to bring each drake down quickly, but the warrior just wasn't strong enough as fury to hold on to and survive the adds, and neither healer felt entirely comfortable in keeping the raid up with just them. I think this will work much better, though we'll have to wait and see.

Syrilrian the Undying

I know it's been awhile since I posted last... it's been a hectic few weeks!

As many of you may have heard in this announcement, "When 3.1 goes live, the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” are being removed." Being an avid achievement (and game mount) whore, you can imagine that this caused some gritted teeth on my part, and some flailing on the parts of several of my like-minded guildmates. We have accepted the fact that The Immortal is likely out of reach of the skill level of our raiders, but we figured Undying (and the plauged proto drake!) were plausible.

So a few of our guildmembers began putting together a 'custom' group to try to get a few of the achievements, and both Ballian and I were invited. Last night, we decided to head into Naxx in an 8-man group to try to get The Dedicated Few out of the way. We ended up walking out with Undying as well. WAHOOOOO!

None of us expected it... and it wasn't until Sapphiron that we realized we'd yet to have a single death. As you can imagine, the entire 8 man group was shaking like a leaf at the end of Kel'Thuzad. But we did it! I am so proud of these guys!

And to boot, we managed to break several of our "time" records on several of the bosses... even 1 healer and 1 dps short. *shock* How cool is that?!


For those interested, the group makeup was:

Prot Pally
Resto Shaman
Ret Pally (who then went holy for Sapph and KT)
Boomkin
Elemental Shaman
Arms Warrior
Survival Hunter
Shadow Priest

Was an awesome night. Hopefully next week we'll work on Sartharion +3 drakes and/or <6m Maly. *crosses fingers for good luck!*
