Two weeks after the demise of his general, the self-proclaimed god of death himself had to give up! A fun fight reminding of that other Old God C'thun but still a whole other experience. Blizzard's encounter designers did an awesome job!



The insipid loot:

[45038]   =>   Srosh (12 now!)
[45524]   =>   Leandra
[45529]   =>   Emmeran
[45658]   =>   Kolinska
[45657]   =>   Dupii   

Final boss down, so on to farming this for the next mon...wait, there are still tasks to do out there! On to the hard modes!

After two very good tries last reset week, we came back this Sunday and finished off the bugger!



Depending on how it goes this week, we might even kill Yogg-Saron but we'll have to see!

Today we saved the last of the keepers - Mimiron. Best fight so far in Ulduar, great work by Blizzard!

Screenshot when I get some!

Two more watchers freed from Yogg-Saron's corruption!



Thorim proved to be a tougher cookie than Freya (without watchers of course). Needed 2 days for Thorim and 3 or 4 tries for Freya. Pics if I get any... but at least on Freya we didn't take one.

Next target: Mimiron, the crazed mechagnome watcher.

Finally after more wipes on Auriaya - so far the most difficult encounter for us -, she died. Take that, bitch!



Next up: Hodir which went down pretty fast and left us some time for getting the emblems from Freya's guardians and one try on her. She will go down next reset.


Hodir had a nice surprise hidden in his chest: our first [45038]. Who did it go to, you ask? Yours truly.

Screenshots as soon as I have them available.

Another evening, another two bosses down! Neither was hard, needed about 1h for each of them. Auriaya proved to be more difficult - the pull is just idiotic design by Blizzard but we have it down now and are eager to get back to here tonight!


I'll add screenshots as soon as I get my hands on some.

Two bosses were left in the outer area of Ulduar: Ignis the Furnace Master & XT-002 Deconstructor.

Since we already had some tries on Ignis on Thursday and knew of the changes Blizzard made to the encounter, we went for him first. And what can I say? Three hours later his Furnace was doused for good, and we have achieved the third kill of Ignis on Kazzak!




Our fire was still burning so we moved on to XT-002 - a spoiled child trapped inside the body of a giant killing robot. We showed no mercy and deconstructed the Deconstructor.



Next stop: the Antechamber of Ulduar.

Luckily, the servers proved to be more stable than the day before, so we got to get on Razorscale. After some tries and a 0% (30k HP...) wipe, she finally gave up!



On to Ignis and XT-002, which we got several tries on. Expect us to denconstruct XT-002 on Sunday!

Fun & easy fight albeit a bit chaotic. Killed him on the second try on normal mode.



Loot:

Stx    [Titanguard]
Diaz    [Iron Riveted War Helm]
Fozzy    [Embrace of the Leviathan]

Went on to Razorscale, wiped once because we had no idea we shouldn't stand in the fire ( ) and after that the instance server decided to stop working for the night.

We want you! With Ulduar being released soon, Apotheosanity is preparing to beat the crap out of these Titans!
Therefor we need you! We're currently recruiting:

- Holy/Disc Priests
- Restoration Shamans
- Hunters

If you're interested head over to our recruitment forum!

After clearing Naxxramas and Sartharion without adds (not news worthy...) some weeks ago, we finally killed Malygos on Tuesday after getting Sartharion down while letting Tenebron join the fight.


Intense battle and a chaotic phase 3 but we prevailed!

Loot:

[40543] (Leandra)
[40590] (Zoan)
[40562] (Kurjac)
[40561] (Srosh)

Yesterday one of our Naxx 10man groups managed to slay Kel'thuzad
Second group should have cleared it soon.

Thought its worth a news atleast

Edit: 25man cleared aswell, no pic though yet :-(

Months after killing Twins we finally were able to kill M'uru on Thursday, with the help of 3.0.2. As everybody knew the fight and the Patch brought a major DPS increase it was a walk in the park as M'uru is a fight were DPS/Healing matters most, when you know the tactic.
We got him to Phase 2 before the Patch but getting raids together was nearly impossible so getting him down was unrealistic for us, atleast with such attendance problems by our people.



At Sunday our raid made a few tries at KJ, even with increased DPS you still need to get to know the tactics etc. so we didnt manage to down him sadly at Sunday.
But Today(Monday) we managed to kill Kil'Jeaden

KJ is now one of my favorite encounters after C'thun and Ragnaros
It certainly is the best looking fight so far.

The loot isnt really important at this point but if you are interested you can checkout our DKP page

After quite a few hours of raiding we finally managed to pewpew them 


The hardest part of this fight is getting the healers stacked up in the raid and deal with the whine of your usual raiders, that get replaced with tryout Healers!
Thanks to Blizzard for making a guild requiring more healers than usual and fucking every normal guild!


Forgot to Fraps it so Video incoming from the next kill I hope! But in the meantime you can checkout the Felmyst Video located in the Media Section

At our 17th Illidan kill we finally got it!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Mingy who saved DKP for it that long

This really is a gear and retard check for your DPS and Healers!

After you got the positioning sorted in this fight, you need to train the healing, that already takes a while....
When you finally get the Healing done and reach the enrage sometimes, then you have to workout the DPS, brining a gimp Raid Setup really hurts here....

Beaten without a single [Warglaive of Azzinoth] !!!!! (We never got one so far  )

Loot:

After 3 nights and 30mins today (*cough*6h30m with 4*Trash *cough*) we managed to defeat the evil Demon inside Kalecgos!
Sarthrovarr the Corruptor was corrupting Kalecgos' mind and we couldnt let that happen as he promised us loots!
So after a bit Portal jumping and decursing we managed to finally keep our MTs up tanking Kalecgos and Sarthrovarr inside the Dream Realm and beat his ass

Edit: Totally forgot Loot

After killing Illidari Council 14days ago we had only 1 Boss missing to clear the current TBC Content...

In these 14days we had 4 raids to try him, not that many if you consider him being the hardest Boss currently and other guilds trying him for over 4 weeks.

This kill almost failed because of some "smart" Warlock....he thought being 30k infront in the DPS with his nuke build wouldnt be bad....but then he suddenly overaggrod...one Paladin was fast enough with BoP so we thought "phew...", but the "smart" Warlock forgot that his Curse of Doom ticked like 5sec after BoP was over for 15k which made Illidan pretty angry healing like 10% because he was facing the raid and killing this Warlock.
If this wasnt enough this "smart" Warlock overaggrod AGAIN in Phase 5 almost wiping the raid AGAIN, luckily he didnt heal then...
Not to mention he didnt even manage to Win dps meters against a FROST MAGE.



But to give you a hint of the fight:

Illidan Stormrage has 5 Phases.

You start the Encounter by talking to Akama he run towards Illidan Stormrage and talks with him, after about 40sec (wtb SKIP Button) the fight starts.


Phase1:
Its pretty easy once you know what to do and no one is sleeping.
Only 1 person is getting dmg besides the Maintank in this Phase if you are doing everything corrently. So your Maintank cant really die here, even though Illidan can do about 30k dmg in 2sec if you dont parry/dodge/miss/block a Hit of him.
He will eventually spawn a Shadowfiend on somebody inflicting a Parasite Debuff, that spawns after like 8 seconds 2 Parasites, if they hit somebody they will get the debuff aswell. To avoid these Chaining up you just kill Parasites out of the group with Mages.
There is aswell a Life Drain so you cant stand infront of him and a ability called "Shear" that is basically just there so Druids cant tank him properly
This Phase lasts till Illidan is at 65% he will then float up in the Air.

Phase2:
He will float in the Air throwing his Warglaives down on the ground Spawning 2 Big Ass Fire Elementals that do more Damage than Illidan does, if the Maintank does not have maxxed out FR on your 2 offtanks. The create a Grobbulus like Fire Patch and you cant move them more than like ~20y away from the Warglaives, and the whole raid needs to stand in range of Both these Elementals else they charge you and pewpew the whole raid.
Onto that Illidan will annoy you with Flame Blast AoE and a Barrage attack doing 30k in 6sec and a big ass LAZER which mainly annoys Melee/Offtanks.
After the Fire Elementals are down Illidan will Land in the middle and Phase 3 will start.



Phase3:
Phase 3 is basically the same as Phase 1 but it has a new Skill that makes it imperative to spread out everyone. But besides that this phase isnt really hard.
After 90sec though he will change into his Demon Form  and Phase 4 starts.

Phase 4:
In his Demon Form NOONE can stand besides Illidan because he has a hurting Shadow Aura. And you will need a Warlock with Shadow Resistance Gear to tank him in this Phase. Around the Warlock tank NOONE can stand either because that hurts you even more.
In this Phase you do close to no dmg to Illidan as he will Spawn Demons that spawn at him and Paralyse 1 target and instantly killing them when he reaches them.
You need to slow and kill those fast before they reach somebody.
And there is a nice Fire AoE Volley that does 3,5k dmg 5yards around everyone, means if you stand in a bunch you get instakilled.
After like 30seconds this Phase is over and Illidan goes back to his normal Form.

Phase5:
Phase 5 is basically Phase 3 just that it starts after 30%, Illidan will Imprison you and Maiev Shadowsong will appear they do a little chitchat and then Maiev starts to hit him a bit and occasionally places traps, even though 50% of the traps are way to far away.
If you drag Illidan into these Traps he is hold there for sometime and gets double dmg. Which is a really nice dps boost.
He still switches to Demon after 30%.



By killing Illidan we cleared all current World of Warcraft Level 70 Raiding Content.
I want to thank every member that participated in the various raids we did so far in The Burning Crusade.

Today, after killing Reliquary of Souls yesterday, we went to try Mother Shahraz(i hate that name). After we used like 1 hour to craft the Bracer/Belt/Shoes/Clock for 24people in the raid(Main Tank doesnt need it) we cleared the trash to Mother Shahraz and made some tries(shes leashed pretty tight so you can reset fast when you make a mistake).

After we got the hang of the tactics, we made a 29% try, we changed our tactic abit and managed to kill her after that pretty fast.

The funny thing is at about 4% our Maintank died and we already thought its one of these 1% Apo wipes blaming the idiot that was DCed(Cos) that he wasnt there at this try...

But in the end Healdin managed to Shock her to death as the last one alive with 235HP !!!!!!
Ironically we got the most shitty random part that can drop....

Proof Picby Reinmar


Loot:

[32368] -> Healdin
[31102] -> Reinmar
[31103] -> Azeal

Pretty funny fight:)

Has 3 Phases

Phase1:
No healing, everyone does dps, boss hits the person hes fixated on(every 5sec the one thats closest) means full out dp

Phase2:
Your mana gets reduced all the time until you got no mana left. Combined with a Rune Shield Mages can steal for imba dps and alot of kicking action. Alot dps needed aswell.

Phase3:
Shadow Aura starting at 100dmg increasing 100 every 2seconds(means you will die quite soon), but it does increase your dmg done aswell by a increasing amount.
Some Spite Nature dmg crap and that was it. Need all out dps and no overaggroing to be able to kill it before the Shadow Aura stacks up to high...


Sounds easier than it is, but its not really that hard, just needs a bit training

Btw: CoH needs a nerf


Loot:
[32353] -> Kyre
[32345] -> Tinyone

Not really that hard...expected him to be harder tbh.

Just bring 1-2 healers more than normally and you can easily get him down after a few tries - don't stack up high on Paladins, tho', they suck for this encounter.

Loot:
[32501] ->Azeal
[32344] ->Moloss

After quite a few nights of wiping ALOT we finally managed to kill him!

Its a quite annoying fight with many random factors.
He has a Doomfire (a fire trail) that has his own life following no logic at all, it sometimes follows people, it sometimes just moves to somewhere, it sometimes draws hearts etc. etc.
Onto that you get a 6sec fear ever ~40-50sec which 99% of the time fears you into the Doomfire which gives you ontop of the 2.4k Fire Damage at Contact a DOT that does ~20k dmg in 1minute.

If you read that you say: Oh then you got some unlucky deaths and kill him in 1 night still, but he has a funny mechanism when somebody dies that you get either dmg+stun dmg+4sec silence dmg+insane mana drain depending on the class that dies.
Which basically means that no one should die, you can survive 1 soul charge maybe 2 if they arent right after each other but more than that means basically a wipe.

Then there is this funny Server test mechanism that makes you wipe if people sometimes lag, as they have to trigger a item to prevent dieing from fall dmg they get from Airburst.

If that wasnt enough there is a curse (5min) that does 200k dmg if not decursed so there is a reason to bring mages/resto Druids to this fight


Loot:
[31097] -> Kyre
[31095] -> Grixx
[30911] -> Xalaz
[30907] -> Aralyn

When most people figured out killing the Constructs we managed him!

Loot:
[32512] -> Rhodry
[32510] dissed

Supremus:

Quite easy fight, just a bit hectic in Phase 2 and totally bugged Vulcanos(you blink in the second they spawn away from em and run like some yards and still get 2 ticks...)

Loot:
[32251] ->Alymerain
[32260] ->Komugi






Shade of Akama:

Quite easy aswell, just need enough DPS to keep up killing Channelers/Sorcerers banishing Shade of Akama so Shade of Akama is freed quite fast so you can DPS him down while Akama tanks it.

Loot:
[32266] -> Ela
[32271] -> Trokin

After clearing Hyjal upto Azgalor relatively easy yesterday because of the recent changes we were able to try Azgalor abit.

Recent changes:

• Thrall's HP got buffed
• Ghouls dont eat(heal) up anymore
• Ghouls seem to have around 1/3HP less
• Fel Puppys burn less mana?
• Necromancers spawning adds alot less frequently
• Funny Spiders dont zerg down every Totem directly
• In General the HP seems nerfed of the trash waves

Bosses before Archimonde seem to be the same, besides the changes to Azgalor with the Howl Range(which doesnt really do anything to you)
But the change to Thrall's HP makes it not needed to drag him away from Azgalar which makes him the best single DPSer on the Boss(about 10-15% more than our top dps) which kinda shortens the fight a bit and makes it easier aswell i would say.

[31093] -> Winola
[31092] -> Babe
[30899] -> Winola



After having the bosses killed in Hyjal we wanted to kill before really going Black Temple we went to Black Temple!
After a few tries and Priests using Stamina gear we were able to kill the 1st Boss in Black Temple aswell

Its a quite randomly encounter as you can randomly get really nice dmg spikes on you which you cant prevent besides than stacking up HP... But its not that hard if the healers especially figured the fight out and DPS doesnt get Trigger happy and throws the [32408] at High Warlord Naj'entus to break the Tidal Shield(prevents dmg and heals him) before all people got 8,5k HP as it Triggers a 8,5k AoE on the whole raid...

[32377] -> Komugi
[32240] -> Trokin

Pretty easy!


Loot:
[30916] -> Erestor
[30919] -> Hayashi

We are still shocked!


Loot:
[30879]
[30887]

He's as hard as 3x Kael'thas at once.

Nevertheless we killed him in the first try ever....


Thanks to funny bugged BT prequest: Click me we couldnt really try BT...


Loot:
[30868] -> Trokin
[30862] -> Healdin

Kael'thas is if you just look at him a really well designed encounter. The problem is alot elements of the fight are looking good for the first 2 or 3 times but if you are trying to defeat this encounter he really really gets just annoying.

A short overview of the fight:

Phase 1:

• TAKES LIKE 5-7MINUTES
• Easy as eating a cake normally
• Has quite some annoyance 1shot moments that fuck up your tries directly
• Really really annoying phase, that is just DAMN annoying and long as your whole raid has full mana after it anyway
• There really should be a "skip" button for this...

Phase 2:

• 1min 30sec set time
• Easy normally if your tanks dont fuckup and something goes loose and 1 shots an AoEer
• Needs quite some time to figure out this phase at the start

Phase 3:

• 3min set time
• Quite annoying to learn....Needs quite some time to figure out this phase at the start

Phase 4:

• no set time but a "enrage" timer of 12-10minutes for P4/P5
• Quite annoying to learn especially because the MC fucks up everything quite often

Phase 5:

• no set time but a "enrage" timer of 12-10minutes for P4/P5
• Quite easy, no reason to wipe if he doesn't bug out and you are not close to the "enrage" timer(weapon despawn)

You kill Kael withing 6-10mins depending on the MCed people(they can heal for 66k on Kael etc.) and how they are controlled etc. etc. etc. etc.
So the fight needs all in all about 20-23minutes. But imho its to complex for this length.

1 little mistake costs you the try often enough and 1 try needs always about 10-15mins...which really gets annoying if you have to try him very often because each little mistake fuck you up. What makes this even more annoying is that there is trash before him with a fucking 2hour respawn timer. If it wouldnt be enough to ress/buff up for 5mins they want you to reclear the damn trash after like 6 or 7 tries....

But Blizzard atleast seemed to notice some of the negative aspects of such a well designed encounter(only if you see it on a Video ) and will nerf him in 2.2....

Loot:
[29990] -> Xze(yes hes a Pala )
[29997] -> Tim
[32405] -> Erestor
2x [30238] -> Tonsar, Erestor
2x [30183] -> Guild Mule!




Onto Hyjal/Black Temple!

Uhm well, i think the guild kinda expected a bit more of him, if we knew this we would've gone there directly after Al'ar is dead...
The idea of the fight is ok, but if you know the tactic before going there he is kinda ez-mode...

Fight goes like this:

NUKE NUKE NUKE
AOE AOE AOE
CS/KICK HEALs
NUKE NUKE NUKE
AOE AOE AOE
CS/KICK HEAL
NUKE NUKE NUKE
AOE AOE AOE
CS/KICK HEAL
NUKE NUKE NUKE

Then you arrive at 20% and well, normally a boss gets harder at such percentages, Solarian gets uhm as hard as a critter she is basically like a stone doing less dmg, no  abilites and just gets little more armor...

Iam kinda ashamed we needed 4 tries for him :-(

Loot:
[29981] -> Etyriel
[29951] -> Tonsar
 

After clearing SSC this week for the second time we had free time to try a new Boss.
As The Eye is obviously the only Dungeon we can Access we stood before the choice: Al'ar or High Astromancer Solarian.

Because we kinda didnt want to clear the stupid trash(40y Mana Burning FAGGOT BUTTERFLYS, that have a fucking annoying Knockback if you hug them so they dont instagib you with their Charge+Melee hit in the same microsecond doing 15k dmg) everytime we do Void Reaver+Solarian we decided to do Al'ar even though people said Al'ar is harder than Solarian.

So we cleared the known Trash from our VR kills until we reached Al'ar after we killed Lady Vashj at Monday around ~19.30. We made a few trys got Phase 1 quite fast under Control and managed it quite good.
Phase 1 is quite simple:
Al'ar flys rounds in his room you pull him from upstairs with a Bow/Gun.
Tank A will tank him for the next ~30seconds until Al'ar with his Superior AI decides to fly to the next Platform where Tank B stays. etc. etc. until you reach Platform 4.
Either after Platform 4 or after going again to Platform 1 he flys up in the air and whirls around a bit and forces the tanks to jump down from their balcony spot. Then merry-go-around continues until Al'ar reaches 1% and "dies".(I should mention that nobody being in melee range of Al'ar when is at a Platform means a 1,5sec 2k Flame Buffet increasing Fire damage on you)

In Phase 2 he gets reborn and kills normally the highest Warlock on his Threatlist and randomly somebody else if your Paladins aren't fast enough with BoP when the tanks aren't fast enough with Taunting or it gets resisted.
After you have him tanked you dps him a bit until Al'ar decides to fly up into the room and make a Meteor on some random raid person which spawns 2 Ember of Alar(same ones as in Phase 1) and make Al'ar appear at the Meteor spot. Killing 1 add deals about 80k dmg orso to him which is ~2,5% ish of his health. So you steal Al'ar 5-6% of his live by just killing his adds each Meteor.

This basically continues for the next 10mins then he is either dead or enraged and rapes your raid. Sounds quite easy, but there are 2 things that make it sometimes a bit annoying/randomly. If there is not directly a tank at Al'ar after a Meteor he does Flame Buffet as in Phase1 dealing 2k dmg to the raid. This wouldnt be hard if there wouldnt be these annoying Flamepatches. They are like Fire Void Zones, ticking like every second dealing 3k dmg and increasing Fire Damage taken by 10%. If the Flamepatch spawns directly on you you get atleast 2Ticks of it and if you are in the lucky situation that in that time no Melee is near Al'ar or he spawns from the Meteor you die basically by the Flame Buffet+2Flamepatch ticks.

We got him to like 52% Phase2 on Monday and called it.

On Tuesday we visisted Al'ar again, after doing around 10 sucky tries wiping like 4 or 5 times in Phase 1 due to tanks sleeping/tanks standing LoS/tanks getting spikes etc. we were able kill Al'ar.

Btw: NERF WARLOCKS

Loots:

[29918] -> Cos
[29925] -> Kagome

After clearing the Bosses needed to unlock the Bridge leading to the Altar like thing where Lady Vashj is located, we were able to try Lady Vashj at Monday and Tuesday.
After a few tries of understanding the whole encounter and how the whole enocunter is in reality we made quite fast progress.
Phase 1 was quite fast under control,  people died only if they got a Unlucky Combo like Multishot and Static Charge etc., and we made it to Phase 2 with 0 people dead after some tries.

Phase 2 though is the real bitch of this fight...
While Phase 1 is mostly tank/spank with a spreaded raid, Phase 2 is quite complicated, to survive this Phase you need to:

• Kill the mass of Water Elementals (FROST IMMUNE) before they reach Vashj and increase her damage done by 5%
• Kill the Elite Nagas before they rape the raid
• Kite and Kill the Elite Striders so they dont fuck people up with their fear aura(i think every Priest wants that) and insane Melee damage(one shotting like everything)
• Kill the Tainted Water Elementals before they despawn after 10-15sec and tossing the Tainted Core to a Shield Generator to disable it and Damage Vashj for 5% of her live

And if thats not enough Vashj is randomly doing a Cone AoE to your raid every 2seconds you cant avoid for ~2500dmg

If not everything is working correctly you are screwed and can forget killing Vashj.

On Monday we mainly worked on Phase 2 and how to assign the DPS so we can deal with all the kinds of ads we have. We didnt manage to get to Phase3 though at Monday, but it was a good day we got Vashj to 55%(3 Shield Generators down) at our first day trying her, without using Flasks/Elixirs on the raid besides the tank.

On Tuesday, we got a  bit better Setup and a butload of Flasks/Pots/Elixirs/Food/WeaponOils, so we just needed 4DPSer for the Elementals  and 1 person in the middle killing Elementals coming trough when the Group got a Tainted Elemental or smth. Phase 2 already felt alot more controlled, it wasnt as chaotic as on Monday anymore. After a few tries we got her the first time to Phase 3...later even to 17%. But as we had to many dead people we didnt manage to kill her intime and kinda got overwhealmed by these thingies:

2Trys later we managed to get again to Phase3 and had enough DPS alive to kill her:

Warrior/Rogue Dual View PoV


Loot:
[Desecrated Girdle] --> Apotheosanity
[Rime Covered Mantle] --> SiN
[Splinter of Atiesh] --> Cos he has ~25ish now



Next week Thaddius in on our list! He went to Phase 2 after 3 trys(Tank flew into the slime while tanking the adds 2 times...) yesterday but we cannot approach him today as it is Raidfree

After a "very nice" 1% wipe last week because one offtank DCed at like 20ish%...and all people blaming me later for it because i was Frost specced :


We managed to down Patchwerk with our Raid Alliance Partner SiN (the guild you cant /who) at Thursday this week, after cleaning Spider Wing/Noth on Wednesday:
The key to it was me respeccing to Fire!
If i compare the SWStats on both screens (1% wipe and killshot) i had a diffrence of about 50k Damage. If you check the 1% screen you see that the approx. health from Patchwerk was ~40k, so yes their critique towards me was justified...

Edit: Video from a Rogue PoV(Mingy):
http://files.filefront.com/ApoSiNPatchwerkavi/;6122926;;/fileinfo.html


After Patchwerk we moved to Grobbulus, imho its a funny fight but he got killed by us after 1wipe of seeing the encounter.

Loot:[The End of Dreams], [Desecrated Shoulderpads]

At Thursday(19. Oct) Apotheosanity was able to down Ouro with their Raid Alliance Partner SiN(former Temporary/ex Almighty Sisters people).
Sadly i wasnt in that raid because of some hardware problems and i had to reinstall Windows at that day then...


The Raid Alliance was formed because we couldnt fill our needs of members by recruiting and needed a solution for our Problem:
5 Warriors (4 of them Maintanks)
5 Priests
2 Mages
3 Druids
1 Warlock
1 Hunter
1 Rogue
Left the Guild or quitted raiding/went inactive.

With loosing those member we were not able to raid anymore, recruiting people was impossible, we tried it before that happened already and didnt get good people and the guild did not want to farm MC/BWL again until we are able to do anything in AQ40/Naxxramas again.

A part of Almighty Sisters(the guild disbanded before)  formed a HC-Raid guild for The Burning Crusade with the temporary name Temporary, they had a stable membership of about 30 raiders and nothing todo.
So we decided when we were about to Break Up that it is time to form a Raid Alliance, Temporary agreed as they were kinda bored and just waited for TBC.

At the first day of Raiding together with Temporary we had a outstanding performance, many thought we will be stuck at some "harder" boss, but we cleared AQ 40 until C'thun and even got him to 40% in ~4hours of raiding, no single wipe besides on C'thun.(ok on C'thun trash 15ppl died sometimes^^) We had to call it after those 3 C'thun wipes. At the next day they downed C'thun and Ouro.
At Ouro Apotheosanity made ~3 trys before and Temporary none at all he died after 3 trys(atleast people said that to me)
At Sunday we were able to clean up the Spider Wing of Naxxramas, Instructor Razuvious and Noth the Plaguebringer, we made some trys at Heigan after figuring out the trash before and got him to ~70%.
At Tuesday we decided that our dps was ok and we had enough Healers so we decided to try Patchwerk.
We got him to 20% but couldnt go further that day so we called it...

After we figured out the aspects for the classes of this fight and refined them, we were today able to beat Maexxna and with that we cleared the Spider Wing in Naxxramas.

Loot:

[Maexxna's Fang] --> Morb
[Desecrated Handguards] --> Trance [Cryptstalker Handguards]
[Desecrated Gloves] --> Cos [Frostfire Gloves]
[Splinter of Atiesh] -->Cos he has 6? Splinters now

On Friday, after some tries the days before we managed to get her down, its not a hard fight but you require quite some Potions for learning it properly, especially Melees...

Loot:

[The Widow's Embrace]
[Desecrated Wristguards]

After some some time of trying him he went down aswell!

Loot:

[Cloak of the Scourge] went to Veandalheart
[Desecrated Waistguard] went to Majev ( [Dreadnaught Waistguard] )

Yesterday we tried the first time another Boss in Naxxramas, after a few wipes our priests managed to tank Instructor properly and our Mana Users knew how to avoid Disruptive Shout!

Loot:

[Idol of Longevity] went to Kratos
[Desecrated Sandals] went to Kolar ( [Sandals of Faith] )

The boss itself wasnt that hard, getting the fitting raid for us was...

Loot:

[Band of Unanswered Prayers] ---> Nulra
[Desecrated Bracers ] ---> Kuroyi

Ok, seriously C'thun was the total Nightmare for us...

After having quite fast progress with Eye of C'thun to down it 2 days after we had Emps down, we tried C'thun quiet hard...
We made about 70 trys at him(about 50 to phase 2...) and about 8hrs of trying which i tracked.
We really had alot problems with the dieing people at Phase 1, many people died at pull or at Dark Glare which shouldnt happen at all...
After i think 2 or 3 weeks we had a 38% try and were sure to take him down soon, but we thinked wrong...

Many of our members had exams and we couldnt raid for about 2 weeks then the World Cup 2006 in Germany started and we couldnt even beat Twin Emps for some weeks, many of our members were seriously demotivated and got very emo and some already wondered why some people didnt leave the guild yet.

When England/Netherlands/Sweden got kicked from the World Cup we could raid a bit more again, we got Emps down and went on trying Cthun we didnt tryed him for about 4 weeks at that time and didnt really manage that good, we got him to Phase 2 normally but with a very huge amount of deaths...(15-20)

Many people went into casuality with raiding and we had to recruit quite some people to keep up 40ppl which is still today a problem kinda...

This week we started Ahn'Qiraji at Wednesday skipped bug family and cleaned to Emps, we couldnt go on because we lacked people for Emps so we went there the next day, our mistake was we took a tryout to Emps...

As our tryouts know we always wipe at the first raid (we wiped on Onyxia with a new Tryout...) and just wiped the whole Thursday at those stupid Emps...
We oneshotted them next day tough cleaned the Trash to C'thun quiet easy (7 priest 5 warlocks i think) and had a few attemps on C'thun. We noticed that we got quite some problems with the stupid pull of C'thun with groups going inside, we searched a solution for that and found it by a new member from us, i realized that method with this crap addon SuperMacro for imba long Macros(got -50dkp because of this piece of shit when i spammed the BWL raid with like 15 lines in /Rw for 30 seconds because of a bug in that tool-.-) yesterday we wanted to try that macro but we couldnt get enough people so we cleared BWL got no wpn of NEfarian as usual and called it a day...
Today at 18.30 our raid start we had the imba amount of 31people on, i already said its senseless to even start invites with that raid but well...

After we killed a Royal we went to AQ did 2 trys to Phase 1 and then waited for like 10minutes for some Paladin that had to go afk because we were low on healers...

The pull went really nice this time, we manged that only 6 people die in Phase 1(which is quite alot yes) but we managed to most of them up and pwn C'thuns arse finally!

The last few seconds were really nice, we had 30% after our 2nd weakened Phase and wasnt sure if one more Weakened would be enough to kill him.
But it was enough<3

Looking at the Weakned Timer and him then seeing him dieing 0,5sec before he got invulnerable made my day!

(*cough* some noob forgot to use the Flask of Supreme Power he won the roll for some time ago for a C'thun try*cough*)


(blabla spelling/grammer sucks i know but idc:P)


Drops(mostly crap as usual):

[Husk of the Old God] went to Kratos
[Carapace of the Old God] went to Healdin
[Gauntlets of Annihilation] went to Majev/Reynn
[Eyestalk Waist Cord] went to Xsage
[Vanquished Tentacle of C'Thun] went to Kratos(he won the roll)
[Eye of C'Thun] went to myself its now a cute: [Ring of the Fallen God]


I went afk to eat and the rest of the raid tried their luck a bit with Ouro^^

When i came back i walked there and did some dps think for the first try its quite ok without really knowing any tactics^^

I think it kinda helps writing it in the news that we are waiting for some item!
So lets see:
We are still waiting for Crul'shorukh, Edge of Chaos & Lok'amir il Romathis from Nefarian!!!

After 36 Rag Kills, we finally got our first Spinal Reaper!

[Spinal Reaper] 4.61% Drop Chance     1x Dropped
Just to compare:
[Eye of Sulfuras] 3.63% Drop Chance    3x Dropped (one left us tough)

But well what can i say about the WoW luck:
80 Baron Runs with my Mage in total and i never ever saw [Magister's Leggings] dropping from Baron Rivendare...

After only 5 1/2 month Nefarian showed us that he can drop more then 1 weapon!

We finally got our first [Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood] in our  now 23Nef Kills, it went to Azeal who waits for it since the first Nef kill from us!

Btw we are still waiting for Spinal Reaper from Ragnaros!


And when iam already making a news:

We manged to complete Phase 1 of Cthun quite ok now, we still got some death, which we have to minimize to 0, but it works quite ok already, sadly he resetted today and we couldnt try more so our best try this week:


If we dont fuck up he should go down this week

After we cleared the trash easily the day after we killed Emps, we had some tries at the Eye with the obligatory Ouro pulls while running back to Cthun spot and somebody walking to far and wiping the whole raid etc.

Today we made nice progress with the Eye and got it down, have to master it better because we only had 50% of the raid alive @phase 2 start


After that we saw this ugly mofo:

After we had quite some attendance problems after Huhuran  for the last weeks, we managed to get a "semi" good raid together to kill the trash, to get our 2nd serious try evening at Emps in the time after we killed Huhuran...

When we were killing the trash we wiped quite some times due to lacking of Mages/Locks in raid and not much healing... Quite some people wanted to call it already...

But later we got 3 more healers and had a quite good setup but still 3 free spots until like 23.00.

Because of the very bad Warlock attandance we had to screw our tactic of Warlock tanking the Caster Emperor, we now just used a Warlock to do the initial pull and after that Warrior tanks.

We made very fast and nice Progress with that and after about 3 wipes we managed to get them to 47%.

After that we had a nice 1% wipe and most healers were out of Potions, so we sent 3 people to Ironforge to get packed up with Mana/HP/Moongoose/Mana Oil/Wizard Oil.

After we buffed up we had a fucking start and many tought we will wipe already but in a very nice ~13min fight we downed them finally

Drops:

After we couldnt try for Huhuran for 3 weeks because of lag problems(20sec chat lag/10sec skill lag etc. etc. etc.) or member problems(we had only 30 on for all raids etc.) we had 2 evenings this week and today we managed to get her finally down with a bit of tweaking our tactics and after ~3 trys with our new tactic and long waiting for Shieldwall/members to get ready/come online we manged it finally.
The best thing at the kill was: Our MT had a stack of the Dot left and died like 15 seconds after Huhuran was dead because nobody healed him because everyone spammed gchat and looked at loot^^
A bit late but doesnt really matter:P
Drops:



The Trash mobs after Huhuran are kinda insane:P
We wiped some times on them then it started lagging ~5-20sec which was kinda sucky at this Trash so we called it a day after we got 3 of them down with some wipes.

2nd day AQ @2nd week:

After we cleaned to Fankriss @thursday  we called it a day, today at Monday we made our 1st serious tries on Huhuran, tough we didnt have enough "NR-Meatshields" it was still nice i think:

Hopefully he will go down tomorrow

After we made a 1 week raid break after the AQ gate opened(had some e-drama...) we started with AQ40 this week.

At our first day we wiped ~2times @Skeram because we just had 3 Warriors with us, we settled that with some alt warriors and then got him down 1st time.

Skeram:
(No Picuture:-( )

Loot:

[Cloak of Concentrated Hatred]
and a [Nexus Crystal](cant even remember what it was:P


Bug Trio:
~2 wipes then we figured it out how it works
(No Picture :-( )

Loot:

[Robes of the Triumvirate]
[Imperial Qiraji Regalia]
[Gloves of Ebru]


Battleguard Sartura:


Loot:

[Sartura's Might ]
[Silithid Claw]


Fankriss the Unyielding:


Loot:

[Pauldrons of the Unrelenting]
[Scaled Sand Reaver Leggings ]

After we made our tactic for Phase 1 up and tuned it we managed to get to Phase 2 easily this week.
Our trys this week=96%, 56%, 26%, 0%  and between some wipes:P


It was a very nice fight at Mage Shout our MT got sheeped and he Shadowflamed the whole raid 20ppl including me died.

13 of those 20ppl were ressed by Druids, Paladins, Priest, Rogues, Hunters....
After the Druid ressed one Priest he had enough time to ress 1 maybe even 2 other ppl...
Too bad i wasnt one of those who got ressed because i was a Skelly during
finght(<3 Noggenfogger) and the resser didnt find me because i was lying on bones.... :


But anyway:


Loot:

203 Gold
[Judgement Breastplate]
[Stormrage Chestguard]
[Therazane's Link]
[Archimtiros' Ring of Reckoning]
[Head of Nefarian]

Buff:

After we had some Problems with our first Chromaggus with Timelapse we didnt have time to try Nef really so it needed a bit longer then we tought...

We made ~30 Molten Core  no Bindings at all...
But after those runs we finally got one part of the Bindings:

We normally have no luck at all only Hunter/Druid/Warlock loot almost no weapons but this run was the BEST run we ever made.


If you think that is enough good drops for a Molten Core run then check out what we got on Ragnaros:


~30mins later it looked like this:


And we got 12 Bind on Equip Epics:
[Lawbringer Bracers ]
[Vambraces of Prophecy]x2
[Lawbringer Belt ]
[Arcanist Bindings ]
[Felheart Bracers ]
[Cenarion Belt]x2
[Nightslayer Belt ]
[Arcanist Belt]
[Girdle of Prophecy]x2

Loot here:
