Yep, we're still here running ToT.  We just suck at updating at all, apparently. 

'nuff said.  The motivation of hearing Icebreaker sing Fingerbang over vent carried us to victory.

Still plugging away!  He would've died Monday but we ran out of time.  The nerf definitely made Phase 1 more tolerable.

Oh my God, updating the same night as a kill?  Preposterous!

End of line.

... but we are all apparently too preoccupied/lazy/playing TOR outside of raiding to update the website.

Hagara and Blackhorn should die soon, too.  Expect an update post about 5 weeks later on the site.

Since we have all been lazy about screenshots, a snapshot of the achievement will simply have to suffice.

Thus far Dragon Soul seems to be a lot more fun that Firelands ever was.  That's right: I'm talking about you Lord Rhyolith and Alysrazor.  You two bosses singlehandedly suck the fun out of everything.  Sure, it was fun the first few times; but enough is enough.  Thankfully there's nothing remotely similar in Dragon Soul.  While not all of the encounters may be "new" and "innovative;" they certainly feel a lot more challenging and certainly more controllable and less-RNG oriented than its' Firelands counterparts.

Hallelujah.

And while we are all enjoying the new instance that isn't the Firelands drudgery, we bumped into Heroic Morchok: and proceeded the splatter him all over the floor.  It's pretty hilarious that Madness of Deathwing on normal is tougher than this guy.  Oh well; every instance needs it's loot pinata.

So far we're at 7/8 down for normal 10m Dragon Soul. Normal isn't too important, but figured we should keep up with updates. From our Spine of Deathwing kill:

Just as the title suggests, everything in Firelands is dead, except for Rag.  Beth is coniderably more enjoyable when you don't have to stack entirely ranged to be successful.

Alysrazor died the following evening; we simply ran out of time, as we opted to clear the farm bosses in the instance.  

Suffice to say, Jamal carried us.

Even though the fight is total balls for healers, Baleroc HM is dead! Shard handling went somehow okay and everyone DPS'd until their eyes bled. Good loot too: tank hat and prettyful feather cloth shoulders. Beth'tilac or Alysrazor next! 

Also, grats to Jamal and his pet hunter for being bi-winning and entering Firelands for the first time ever and killing Baleroc on heroic.

Apparently we're pretty terrible about updating the website and progression.  So yeah, he's dead.  And that's pretty much all there is to say about that.  /end Forrest Gump

Well, Rhyolith being dead is a huge relief. Something about this fight is horrible. Probably the everything, except the part about us winning.

YAY. Alysrazor, Majordomo, or Beth'tilac next or something.

Alleyra's EDIT:  In honor of Poptart (who came up with this coincidentally).

A fairly simple, yet fun fight in Heroic mode.  I think we spent a grand total of maybe 10(?) attempts fine tuning our strategy and execution to get him dead.  And amazingly enough, this fellow drops Heroic Leg tokens too!  Hopefully all Heroic versions of the other bosses are as enjoyable as this one.

Well, he should have died Monday, but Thursday is just as well.

Sort of a sad kill shot without a corpse there.  Oh well.  Onward to Hard Modes!

That's right, after the 1% wipe on the raid night before this one we were determined to down Alysrazor. Not only did it happen, but we went on to quickly learn and kill Majordomo Staghelm. Time to work on Rag!

Two more down: Shannox and Baleroc, the Gatekeeper! Shannox is mostly hilariously easy, and special thanks to our healers for healing single-tank Baleroc, making things much simpler overall. Winning:

He died early Thursday evening, not only being a major pain in general: but he was incredibly difficult to drive.  After some tweaking and practice we nailed him -- only to wake up the following morning to find MMO-Champion had this tidbit posted:

Which makes for two bosses we have killed now, tuned for 25 man.  Here's to hoping that the next bosses we encounter are correctly tuned.

Happy Independence Day everyone!

We downed Beth'tilac after some work figuring out group balance and a little bit of practice. Perhaps Ryolith is next.. who knows! So many new bosses. Onward!

Heroic Omnitron Defense System.

One word: Clusterfuck. That's all this fight is. IT'S DEAD THOUGH. YAY.

^DEAD!^

H Nefarian or Chogall next possibly.

After not-too-much effort put into the Twin Dragons, we downed them fairly quickly, putting us at 6/13 HM. Pretty much the moral of the story is that Jamal gonna getchu.

Next: Omnitron? Perhaps...

Well, we've had an excellent week so far! Yet another heroic boss down for us, Atramedes! We did put in some work on him at times but it was rather sporatic due to random sound being added to players at times.

Up next... Twin Dragons? Conclave? Still to be decided!

Not too soon after downing Maloriak, we took roughly two nights to put in some work on Heroic Magmaw. After trying a few different strategies we settled on one that seemed to work well for us. That, combined with the heart and soul of our resident Devilsaur Jamal, helped us defeat Magmaw.

Thanks, Jamal! What to work on next...

Finally after some rough weeks we downed Heroic Maloriak.

It's a pretty annoying fight, although somewhat straightforward... some members even got their awesome temporary title, "Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent, and Disappointing Minions".

Yay. Probably working on Atramedes (provided he isn't bugged) or Magmaw next.
