Unity Path Defeat Halion! (Realm First)

Toban — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:00:43 +0000

Ruby Sanctum is a pretty instance, but the normal version of the fight isn’t all that an a bag of chips. Basically, run away with a bombs, don’t stand in fire, and avoid some beams of death.

However, congratulations to the loot winners: Lavode with [item]Umbrage Armbands[/item], Codilia with [item]Phaseshifter’s Bracers[/item] and Toban with [item]Charred Twilight Scale[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Sindragosa Heroic (Realm First)

Toban — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 22:29:15 +0000

We had feared becoming mired on Sindragosa after a couple of bad nights going nowhere fast, but after a revision of the ice block strategy and a general boot up the backside, the fight fell into place quite quickly. For the healers, it’s a bit of a nightmare, for everyone else there’s not a lot of difference other than bigger numbers are required.

Congratulations to the loot winners: Norinia with [item]Protector’s Mark of Sanctification[/item] and Rhoanna with [item]Phylactery of the Nameless Lich[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Saurfang Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:10:40 +0000

Harder than Festergut, which was “simply” a DPS race, as this factors in the additional problems of a crippling load on the healers in the last 30% of the fight, along with the requirement to execute perfect crowd control of the five adds, which are buffed to high heaven in the Heroic form. Three days of painful, and brutal, wiping finally yielded the kill after a number of low 3-5% wipes. Forget the previous three minutes of the encounter, the real problems only start in the fourth.

Congratulations to the winners: Codor [item]Bloodvenom Blade[/item] and Illiath with [item]Protector’s Mark of Sanctification[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Queen Lana’thel Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:30:36 +0000

And so we become the first team on Earthen Ring to clear an Heroic wing with the fairly comprehensive take down of the Blood Queen. Stiffer DPS requirements to be sure, and more punishing in terms of loose positioning in the air phase, but the fight really isn’t any more complicated than it’s Normal counterpart. It’s a gear check and a check which we passed with some margin.

Congratulations to the Sedda who took the Realm’s first iLevel 277 Tier 10 with [item]Conqueror’s Mark of Sanctification[/item].

Unity Path Save Valithria Dreamwalker Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:00:00 +0000

We were surprised at this kill as we’d only intended to do some initial fact finding about the boss, with the minimal time left after the Festergut kill, before going after it the day after in earnest. As it so happened, it hit the deck only an hour later thanks to some superior work by the healers.

Congratulations to Codilia with [item]Anub’ar Stalkers Gloves[/item], Amethyst with [item]Scourge Reaver’s Legplates[/item] and Giggles with [item]Frostbinder’s Shredded Cape[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Festergut Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:00:10 +0000

By far the hardest of the fights we’ve so far attempted, and in hindsight we probably went for the hardest of the remaining opening wing bosses first. We peppered the target with multiple sub-1% wipes, even failing by the slender margins of 64K and 90K damage in a boss fight with a pool of 41 million health. We were that on the wire. In all it took almost four wipe nights over a two week period before we scrabbled the kill.

Congratulations to the loot winners: Quenay with [item]Nerub’ar Stalkers Cord[/item] and Khazmorian with [item]Distant Land[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Rotface Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:00:30 +0000

We washed out quite irritatingly on this fight for an evening as we had the raid balance and approach entirely wrong. There’s not much more to the fight than in normal in truth, and after an a period of consideration, it promptly hit the deck within three pulls on the following evening.

Congratulations to the loot winners: Rhoanna with [item]Corpse-Impaling Spike[/item], Tagan with [item]Seal of Many Mouths[/item] and Codilia with [item]Dual-Bladed Pauldrons[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Gunship Battle Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:30:04 +0000

Utter pushover. The only thing which will ever stop a team, who has already killed The Lich King to get into the heroic instance in the first place, from one-shotting this is the Lag Monster.

However, congratulations to Kwis who bagged [item]Scourge Hunter’s Vambraces[/item].

Unity Path Defeat Lord Morrowgar Heroic! (Realm First)

Toban — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:00:55 +0000

And so the heroic campaign began. Arguably easier than the 10-man heroic as there’s less randomness affecting all or most of your healers at once, this was still no quick pushover.

Congratulations to the first heroic loot winners: Sehana with [item]Frozen Bonespike[/item] and Gojina with [item]Loop of Endless Labyrinth[/item].

Unity Path Defeat The Lich King! (Realm First)

Toban — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:15:57 +0000

We made a meal of this fight to be brutally honest – the first week of learning was well below our usual standards, as we lurched from one strategy to the next. On the second we had an outside chance of a kill, but there were still too many mistakes for it to be other than a supremely lucky pull. However, this week it all came together and the final evening it was more a case of when – not if.

The fight is very well tuned, and punished mistakes brutally – it’s especially galling to see a 10 minute pull go directly into the bucket in the space of 10 seconds. Taken slice by slice there’s no great shakes like the penetrating cold horrors of Anub’arak, but the package as a whole was very “Illidanesque” in scope, and not just for the sheer length of the fight.

Congratulations to the loot winners on the night. Amethyst and Illiath both took home [item]Glorenzelg, High-Blade of the Silver Han[/item], whilst Kayel and Mink pocketed [item]Vanquisher’s Mark of Sanctification[/item]and [item]Conqueror’s Mark of Sanctification[/item] respectively, whilst Ataluta rounded off with another [item]Shadowfrost Shard[/item].

For those who want to enjoy our first kill with us, then Amethyst has posted it on YouTube as Part 1 and Part 2.
