Really should have had a kill last week, with a 1% wipe that was mostly due to someone being offline for all of P3. Was pretty disappointing not getting the kill last week – would have been great to get US 1st – but grats to Exodus, and we downed it with few problems this week
Its a pretty hectic & fun fight, so much can go wrong so quickly along with a tight DPS burn at the end. I just wish we could play at the latency that US / EU players get. WTB Oceanic servers.
P.S. We’re always looking for great players – at the moment we’re especially interested in Holy Paladins, Resto Shamans, Resto Druids, Affliction Warlocks, and anyone who is just flat-out amazing.

Heroic: Sindragosa – World 6th, US 2nd, Oceanic 1st
What a fight, so much can go wrong from just a single player error. Honestly thought we’d get it earlier however (as usual) we had issues with people disconnecting, which can really make it hard.
We started up about 10am Server Time (which was basically as soon as the server came online). At this point we’d already heard that vodka had Marrowgar down – but by the end of our raid we’d managed to catch up and are currently sitting at 8/12. We only have the limited attempt bosses left so we will be playing more cautiously from here and hopefully getting some more kills soon.
Going to post each hard mode + rank + a comment along with YouTube links for the video as soon as they are uploaded.
Update: we will have 3-4 new videos released soon
Heroic: Blood Queen Lana’thel – World 7th, US 4th, Oceanic 1st
Pretty hectic enrage timer, leaving no room for error with bites. Unfortunately we wiped once on this encounter due to a lag spike causing a mind control. Came back next attempt, and using the Guido Fist Pump Vortex Hyperdrive Inverted Mega Man Cleave Strat we were able to record a kill . Video from Jabkmoo/Breesy coming soon!
Heroic: Blood Prince Council – World 2nd, US 2nd, Oceanic 1st
Pretty interesting fight, in the normal mode you learn to move a lot… and then in the hard mode theres a new element which requires less movement.
Unfortunately I don’t think we have any fraps however will upload as soon as possible if we do!
Heroic: Valithria Dreamwalker – World 3rd, US 3rd, Oceanic 1st
At this point we had been raiding for quite a while, and while its a pretty easy fight, 250+ms makes picking up the orbs quite a pain. Still, boss down (or up, this case), time to move along!
Heroic: Rotface – World 2nd, US 2nd, Oceanic 1st
Again a fairly easy fight, but we had a very fast wipe on our first attempt (see video below). An actual kill video will be uploaded as soon as possible.
Heroic: Festergut – World 2nd, US 2nd, Oceanic 1st
Pretty easy fight, the only real difficulty is the enrage timer.
Heroic: Deathbringer Saurfang – World 3rd, US 4th, Oceanic 1st
This fight is going to hold a lot of guilds back (unless it gets nerfed), which is good except for the fact that the fight is extremely boring, and reliant on RNG. If Blood Boil stays off your squishier marked targets sub-30%, its fine, but if not…
Heroic: Gunship Battle – World 4th, US 4th, Oceanic 1st
Forgot to fraps, however its no different to normal mode. Quite disappointing – WTF blizzard?
Heroic: Lady Deathwhisper – World 5th, US 5th, Oceanic 1st
Spent quite a bit of time on Lady Deathwhisper. This fight was somewhat similar to M’uru with the addition of add spawns during phase 2. We spent quite a bit of time on this fight, and I can see a lot of guild being stuck here.
Heroic: Lord Marrowgar – World 3rd, US 3rd, Oceanic 1st
Killed on second attempt, was fairly easy fight that just required a bit of communication!
Pretty fun fight, and much more challenging than we thought. After burning through 10 or so attempts on our alts we came in on our mains, and almost one shot it – but thanks to shitty Australian internet + terrible server lag we decided not to waste any more attempts on Sunday night.
We got right back in there today and proceeded to knock the Lich King off his throne with 16/20 attempts left
Really looking forward to the new raiding week with hard modes being released on Wednesday. We’d also would like to make a mention of our friends in Tsunami – really hoping they get their lost attempts restored (their instance bugged out going from 14/20 on Sunday to -6/20 on Monday). Blizzard fix your shit!
Edit: Looks like Tsu got their attempts back GL guys!
We started off cautiously this week, aiming to maximise our attempts on the Lich King. Our approach paid off in spades (the king of spades, even!), as we managed an early 10 man Lich King kill. With a few 10 mans yet to roll out, we’re planning to score a few more kills and set ourselves up nicely for 25 man Lich King attempts later this week.
