Fun fight -- probably the best pure gear-check fight since Brutallus, though I hate routers and CPUs and the internet with a passion at this point.


Still have a spot for one exceptional DPS player of nearly any class: http://elitistjerks.com/f59/t23094-h...ps/#post677722

Once everyone returned from various holiday trips and odd work schedules, we resumed actual progression, and killed these two things:


(Yes, Hagara is a 25-man kill -- we just forgot about a screenshot until after half the raid had left. Not exactly grueling progress on that one.)

We're still looking for a couple of DPS to round out our roster: http://elitistjerks.com/f59/t23094-h...ps/#post677722

We're looking for a few solid DPS to flesh out our roster for the remainder of Dragon Soul progression. Please see this post for more information:

Definitely nice to have a change of scenery. Fun fight -- looking forward to the next couple as well, though any serious progression is likely to grind to a halt soon with the holidays looming:

Finally. Probably as much a relief as anything at this point, but definitely the most challenging encounter in recent memory. Final wipe count was 215, but it felt like many, many more -- I think half of those came after we saw p4 and we were getting 3-4 pulls per hour at that point.



Thanks to Khazal, Belmont, Czarplex, and several others, who put in a significant amount of wipe time but weren't able to be in the group for the kill. Also thanks to whoever compiled this, as it was a source of much inspiration: 1 ranarock ate hammer ghost ate trap 2 () daveclap pulled rag 3 trap 4 nazal - Pastebin.com

Oh right, this guy. I'm not sure how a lot of us managed to do Brutallus back in the day, and as soon as people stopped spreading Tormented to random portions of the raid, he fell over fairly cleanly.

Surprisingly more straightforward than the last few, with lots of big numbers. I'm sure our tank appreciated going from being the one making them happen on Alysrazor, to being largely at their mercy here.



One more to go until we earn the privilege of being destroyed by Ragnaros.

Fun fight, though definitely nerve-wracking as people seemingly endlessly discover new ways of killing themselves. I'd like to hope that some people came out of the experience with slightly better raid awareness. Probably just wishful thinking.

Pretty sorry killshot here -- one of those "oh right, we forgot to take a screenshot" moments after everyone's hearthed.



Fun fight though. Somehow managed to be an even more satisfying progression experience than Rhyolith, which I hadn't imagined possible.

I can't put into words how satisfying a progression experience this was, refining our strat and with each successive pull identifying the precise source of our failure and swiftly remedying it, culminating in a burst of flawless execution that ensured our victory beyond any shadow of a doubt.
