Unity Path Defeat Chimaeron Heroic!For the DPS, it was two days of munching popcorn whilst the tanks and the healers got used to the increased requirements of the heroic version. There’s no great shakes, it’s all just turned up to eleven. We used the (in hindsight) wrong tactic for a night and a half, which wasn’t helpful – but […] Unity Path Defeat Halfus Wyrmbreaker Heroic!Tuned very steeply for the 10 man format, Halfus Heroic took some time to get the tactics right – once there, it took a little too much time to nail the final kill – but which was certainly very rewarding. Whilst we know that Blizzard are having difficulties balancing the 10-man version of the game, […] Unity Path Defeat Nefarian!We didn’t see much point in posting about taking down the nickel-and-dime bosses, but with the completion of all the normal fights, the front page can once again be refreshed to herald our assault on the Heroic versions of the fights. For those who don’t know, we’ve elected to go for the 10 man version […] Game Over? Not Likely. Time For Cataclysm!To say that everyone was exhausted after the Lich King 25 Heroic kill would be an understatement. To land the fight before the 4.0 patch, when it was still at the proper difficulty level, was a monumental effort. We should have gotten there faster – much faster – but when people think they are indespensible […] Unity Path Defeat The Lich King Heroic! (Realm First)After four months, with a three-week diversion to kill Halion 25 Heroic, the Lich King 25 Heroic finally toppled. And we thought M’uru was a long campaign – this was harder. It was a harder fight, but it was harder on the raid group – and some people lost their nerve. But the true backbone […] Unity Path Defeat Halion Heroic! (Realm First)It took a little over three weeks, and a complete reworking of our approach to the fight when we discovered we were going to come up short on the eight-minute enrage. But after an evening when it always looked likely, Halion finally surrendered and the Ruby Sanctum was cleared. Congratulations to the loot winners: Toban […] Unity Path Defeat Halion! (Realm First)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 […] Unity Path Defeat Putricide Heroic! (Faction First)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 […] Unity Path Defeat Sindragosa Heroic (Realm First)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 […] Unity Path Defeat Deathwhisper Heroic! (Faction First)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 […] « go back — keep looking » |
