Raid

Answering 8 Questions of a Guild Acquisition

Like many of our fellow 25 man raiding guild friends, we experienced our share of recruiting problems. Players had been losing interest in Warcraft. Every raid night was a dice-roll to see which line ups could be fielded. Some days we were able to raid

The Substitute Raid Leader

Remember the days in school where your favourite teacher was away? Maybe she was sick or needed a personal day. Then the sub would roll in with a giant, CRT television that was Velcro strapped to a cart and you thought to yourself, “YES! It’s

Old topic rant: Lockouts

Today’s blog post pinged because I was listening to the Outlandish podcast and one of the guys was chatting about the lockouts. The lockouts in place now strike me as odd. This is potentially because I’ve not read the meta-theory enough to

Maybe I Could Like Mists of Pandaria…

I’m reading through WoW Insider this morning catching up on all the newly released Mists News, and I picked out some of the things that stood out to me. All of the quotes and information I’m getting come from WoW Insider’s coverage of

What is Epic?

A friend of mine had a GTalk status that brought me in mind of Sindragosa. While I can’t say I particularly LIKED that fight (any fight where the difficulty is created by making your players unable to play their class half the time is one that I’m

Call Of C'thun

Has it ocurred ta anyone what the real purpose of LFR, where a larger number of heroes done comes in contact with the Old Gods' most powerful minion than evers before, every damn week, is ta grind down our SAN points until we all goes stark fuhggerbelly

Better Than A Set Of Level 80 Greens Anyday

Guild going inactive until MoP

At the end of January this year I decided to stop raiding for this expansion at least. I've possibly logged in two or three times since then and maybe done a cooking or fishing daily. Instead I've tried some casual SWTOR, playing some alts there

Gracefully letting go

You see me now, a veteran of a thousand psychic wars I’ve been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar And I’m young enough to look at, and far too old to see All the scars are on the inside I’m not sure that there’s

Transitioning to 25 Man: Your Tips?

Nikalia on Plus Heal posted a question: Do any of you have any tips/hints/tricks/advice on some things one might expect when transitioning into 25 man hard mode healing after being used to 10 man for so long? As I’ve primarily been a 25

Heroic Morchok Down: Where Next?

Managed to score Heroic Morchok on Tuesday. Ended up using 6 healers. Another classic 22% wipe, then a 16% wipe, then a 13% followed by an 8% then a kill. Actually, the numbers aren’t precise. But that’s what it seemed like anyway. How to

Mists of Pandaria Needs More Ulduar

I miss Ulduar. I have a suspicion that it ranks up there as the raider’s choice raid instance of all time. From the pacing, to the art, the difficulty and so forth, it has a fond place in the hearts of most Wrath raiders. But what exactly about

Brain Heals

I redid my gems. I re-reforged. I redid my keybinds. I set up clique and totem timers. And then we went to Firelands. My first foray as a healer wasn’t horrible though, once I remembered I had Healing Rain (which is probably the biggest change to

Form of Healer – ACTIVATE!

So my as yet nameless raid* is going through another reset cycle. We’ve lost a few people, are raiding on a new night, etc. One of the people we lost was our paladin healer. As such, since I like my raid and want to keep raiding, I offered to swap

Is Always Dangerous When An Orc Gets An Idea

Had me a vision on me way home from the Object-Oriented Cubicle Of Shame And Frustration this night. It were a vision of an association of folks, unconstrained by the restrictions of serververses or guilds, hooking up one night a week fer a insult-free,

I am a sad Chess piece

I’ve been pretty lucky with the Raid Finder.  2 Pieces of Raid Finder Tier  – and luckily the most important two,  the helm, and Mantle.  ( the looks,  gotta have the looks)   I mogged a robe to try to match

Daily Dose of Dragon Soul

Now that the patch day bugs are gone, addons are updated and the lag seems to be a lot less, it’s time to dive into the heart of the new raid instance. This time, the raid is once again located in the Caverns of time, at the North-east part of the

Destroyer's End

Second night trying and down he went! :)I can't say I'm very pleased with my healing on this fight. It's quite a lot like Chimaeron all over again. Big damage spike on part of the raid, heal them quickly or they might die from the next

Dragon Soul Thoughts

I like the new raid. The pace is overall easier compared to Firelands. I know the Raid Finder makes it extremely easy to barrel through but I liked the way it’s turned out. The Advantage of the Raid Finder When I tried it out on the PTR, I was

Answering The Age Old Question

Can seven 75th season hyper-casual adventurers take down the Black Temple? Shatter its unholy walls, cast out the foul denizens, cleanse the corruption that has permeated its core? Restore it to its once proud glory?BRING ILLIDAN THE BETRAYER TO JUSTICE?Yeah,

What the Raid Finder Can Do for You

Patch 4.3 will be unveiling the implementation of a new system called the Raid Finder. Similar to the introduction of the Dungeon Finder before it, the Raid Finder is intended primarily to help those that do not really have access to a steady group of

Rhyolith 25H down

We got heroic Rhyolith down at the start of this raid reset. Not the cleanest kill you could have but it got the job done :) I've made the decision to post less on my blog which I'm sure you can tell from the lack of updates lately. Just

Ragnaros 25N and Shannox 25H down!

This Tuesday we managed to get Ragnaros down on normal 25 man mode. I have to say I like this fight. I'm healing the tanks, dodging waves, doing some general raid healing and just keep my distance from others. Stay out of the middle in phase 3 and

Majordomo Staghelm down

How would I summarize this fight? Good coordination of healer cooldowns, moving at the right time, crucial debuff management in the form of running away when you're about to detonate and sharing stacks of damage in the end. Get those things right

5/7 25m and Shadow Wardens unlocked

I wanted to show our first kill shot of Alysrazor, this is by far my favourite fight in Firelands so far! I've always had a soft spot for fights with mobility, multiple tanks and phases and stuff to dodge.Currently we're 5/7 on 25 man normal
