Unity Path :: Earthen Ring Raiding

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 Putricide Heroic! (Faction First)

Toban — Fri, 14 May 2010 19:30:56 +0000

Ugh. Putricide Heroic is now completed, which is the positive, but we made a real hash of this particular fight – using a strategy which was fundamentally flawed, but which looked initially promising. This took us down the wrong path for two weeks, and there was minimal euphoria on the kill – a two shot with a completely revised tactic – more a cold realisation that we were two weeks late and hadn’t done a good job.

However, congratulations to the loot winners: Naradien with [item]Protector’s Mark of Sanctification[/item], and Irisiri with [item]Astrylian’s Sutured Cinch[/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 Deathwhisper Heroic! (Faction First)

Toban — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:00:40 +0000

This took a bit longer than it should have, largely due to using a questionable tactic which just didn’t offer enough stability in P3 and Earthen Ring deciding to take a vacation on two of our raiding nights during the previous weeks raiding.

It’s certainly the most challenging fight of the opening 11 bosses in the Heroic instance – only the big three of Putricide, Sindragosa and The Lich King offer more challenge.

Congratulations to the loot winners: Illiath with [item]Blood-Soaked Saronite Stompers[/item], Kayel with [item]Ring of Maddening Whispers[/item] and Sehana with [item]The Lady’s Brittle Bracers[/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 Defeat Blood Princes Heroic! (Faction First)

Toban — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:30:42 +0000

In truth, we should have taken this fight the week before, but we chose to go to Festergut and stay on it until it was dead. When we eventually went to the Princes, we found it to be a very straightforward fight in real terms and one which didn’t put up an awful lot of resistance. As such we can only claim a Faction First on this boss – our own mistake.

However, congratulations to the loot winners: Sylivia with [item]Shoulders of Frost-Tipped Thorns[/item], Irisiri with [item]Geistlord’s Punishment Sack[/item] and Rhoanna with [item]San’layn Ritualist Gloves[/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].
