Unity Path Defeat Yor’sahj Heroic (Faction First)It’s a quite pleasing fight, with all three arms of the raid tested, although we made a bit of a meal of it in hindsight as we got one part of the mechanics of this fight wrong, and wiped quite a lot for 2 days unnecessarily – and then it twigged and the boss went […] Unity Path Defeat Morchok Heroic (Faction First)Like we always seem to do, our Heroic campaign in a new patch got off to a slow start – mainly because we used a strategy which worked perfectly well on the PTR, but didn’t work at all on live. By the time we wrote it off and used something slightly more sensible the damage […] Unity Path Defeat Dragon Soul Normal (Realm First)Unusually for us, we completed the previous Tier with time to spare – so we had a fairly relaxing time until Patch 4.3, and promptly had it all cleared in around 5 hours. You can’t say much about Dragon Soul, other than it’s certainly got potential and the scenery is (to my mind) better than […] Unity Path Defeat Ragnaros Heroic! (Realm First)If there’s one truth in raiding, it’s that on a really challenging end boss, you burn time very quickly whilst progressing very slowly. Ragnaros was an excellent example. Not quite in the class of M’uru or maybe Lich King Heroic, but it was certainly a cut above everything else there’s been in the game. Well, […] Unity Path Defeat Beth’tilac Heroic (Faction First)Many moons ago, we nibbled at this boss for 5 days – and didn’t get very far. With some more gear, the same techniques we used back then worked this time so at least we were on the right track, even if we were a bit premature in attempting the boss. The only downside was […] Unity Path Defeat Majordomo Heroic! (Realm First)Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we left this one too long – as it was rather easy. However, it was the last boss of the raiding week – ignoring the Ragnaros cleanup – so the incentive was always to push on the other bosses first. However, a night or two after Baleroc saw this […] Unity Path Defeat Baelroc Heroic! (Realm First)A straight-up healer fight, with everyone else standing around looking pretty and playing musical chairs with some shards and chasing a green beam. Whilst not being able to afford three healers, our damage was high enough to avoid any real dabbling with the enrage but we were all waiting for the healers to unlock the […] Unity Path Defeat Alysrazor Heroic! (Realm First)After the successful – albeit inefficient – dispatch of the first two bosses, this was the first boss which we did in conventional style. Solid plan, nightly revision for a couple of evenings and a final success – although we did have a frustrating final 4 hours when we conspired to make just enough errors […] Unity Path Defeat Lord Rhyolith Heroic! (Faction First)After the Shannox cock-up, we went one better and chased Beth’tilac Heroic for 4 nights – after the fight was quietly fixed (i.e. buffed) on the night we started. It was a bit of a 50/50 punt which boss we went for after Shannox based on kill numbers, but in the end it appears we […] Unity Path Defeat Shannox Heroic (Faction First)After taking down Ragnaros to good effect, we made a monumental mess of this fight – by using the wrong tactic we just went nowhere very slowly. Quite where we got it from has been lost in the mists of time, but by the end of the second night it was obvious it was just […] « go back — keep looking » |
