Good news!

Its entirely possible I’m getting my fantasy-based settings mixed up again.

Gratz to the Fist!

Icecrown Citadel Progress

Downed Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper and did the sky battle encounter.

On a side note, that first pic is the best composed group shot I’ve ever done.  :)

The gnome was just a bonus…

A rather large step down in difficulty from Beasts, but still a challenging exorcise in target swapping.  Congrats yet again to the raid team!

Heroic Beasts Slain!

This fight has all the elements of a truly challenging encounter: It requires epic DPS, truly focused and consistent healing, topped off with a huge portion of individual responsibility in recognizing the environmental dangers.  Last night all of that came together.

Congratulations to the raid team!  Persistence and dedication pays off!

Congratulations to the hard mode 10-man crew on completing the Glory of the Ulduar Raider.  This achievement has been in the works for months and after finally getting Firefighter done, General Vezax and Yogg Saron hard modes were completed quickly.

Firefighter
Firefighter (Mimiron) gave us the most trouble, but after a lot of practice, we got the kill just as the final self destruct message told us to “Have a nice day.”

I Love the Smell of Saronite in the Morning
General Vezax fell in just a few attempts.

One Light in the Darkness
One Light in the Darkness took a few nights of attempts, but once we had the right dps makeup, it seemed a little too easy.

Rusted Proto Drakes
4 members got their drakes.  From top to bottom, Valde, Malta, Gharzol, and Ahimoth

Some folks missed a single achievement here or there, but we’ll get all of that cleaned up next week with a fresh instance so the whole crew can complete the achievement.

I’d like to give special props to Malta who was the steadfast (relentless?) driving force behind the hard mode crew.  She showed great leadership and kept us pushing forward week after week.  I think we all wanted this more for her than for ourselves.  Thanks, Malta!
