Yet another good raid led to the demise of another boss, this time it was the turn of the Serpentshrine Matron herself, Lady Vashj. Quite a fun fight with a lot going on in phase 2 making the learning stage rather chaotic but hey it was only 4 nights of actual tries on her and down she goes, fantastic showing by all involved though next time can we do it before the now infamous “last go” call! 🙂

Loot was:

  • Krakken-Heart Breastplate – Fireraven
  • Ring of Endless Coils – Brandii
  • Helm of the Vanquished Hero – Fercil
  • Helm of the Vanquished Defender – Grumsson
  • Pattern: Belt of Natural Power – Melanie
  • Nether Vortex x2 – Judith

And ofc the all important Vashj’s Vial Remnant for everyone.

So er High Astromancer Solarion dead…on the 2nd proper try which was a bit underwhelming really but hey! We were originally gonna just wait till 2.2 was released but with plenty of spare time on their hands over the holiday period we had our intrepid guildies grabbed some AR gear (boredom is a terrible thing) so we had the 2 soakers ready for when we started raiding properly again. So taking a break from Vashj we headed into TK and she pretty much dropped down dead! (Tho to be fair it was a solid performance by all anyway but hey!)

Loot was:

  • Heartrazor – Ruriko
  • Trousers of the Astromancer – Holynight

Yep more boss kills and bad puns ahoy! This time it was the turn of the blind guy in SSC, Leotheras. After proving to be a bit of a bugger at times we eventually got him down leaving only Lady Vashj left to kill now in SSC (WTB T5 Helm!)

Loot was:

  • Gloves of the Vanquished Hero – Aae
  • Gloves of the Vanquished Defender – Tinything
  • Orca-Hide Boots – Benisaro

Next to fall was the first boss in Tempest Keep (2nd one we killed though ofc!), the Phoenix God – Al’Ar which we 1 shot on the night after coming close several times the previous night including a couple of classic moments where he meteored the OT who was standing near a wall and respawned on the upper level leading to a wipe! Doh!

Loot was:

  • Phoenix-Wing Cloak – Batou
  • Band of Al’ar – Brandii

Well turned out to be an interesting night, 1 shotted a new boss on the first nite of a fresh instance reset. Now our raiders can stop shivering every time we hear the damn “Mrrrrrrrrgggggggrrrrrrrrrrlllllllll” noise as we twatted Morgrim Tidewalker.

Lewt was:

  • Pendant of the Lost Ages – Benisaro
  • Ring of Sundered Souls – Batou

So after realising the Kara was in fact relating to Fathom Lord Karathress and not the instance with a similar name we went in to Serpentshrine and gibbed him. Took a couple of nites of tries and a silly wipe on trash cost us a kill on thursday but hey he’s dead regardless!

Loot was:

  • Leggings of the Vanquished Champion – Fiona
  • Leggings of the Vanquished Champion – Aae
  • Fathom-Brooch of the Tidewalker – Disenchanted(!)

Quite a fun fight this one, didn’t take too long to get sussed as well which is always nice! Regardless we killed the Lurker Below there last night so its back onto Morgrim then the rest of the bunch in Serpentshrine Caverns.

Loot dropped was:

  • Ancestral Ring of Conquest – Beecees
  • Glowing Breastplate of Truth – Thoronar

Grats to Lana for being the sole death on the actual kill!

Well in a shocking development we actually killed something that we can use to make a decent screen shot! Making a nice change from Hydross’s bracers or Magtheridons “bit of armour” plates, we downed Void Reaver on the first night of tries.

After getting most of the people attuned Blizz then removed the attunements requirements (prob just as well really as we had a few swap out) meaning we could go into Tempest Keep last night instead of the planned raid later that week. So on the last try of the night with respawns already starting in the room we just went for it and downed him.

Loot was:

  • Pauldrons of the Vanquished Hero – Aphadon
  • Pauldrons of the Vanquished Defender – Batou
  • Fel Reaver’s Piston – Skypheonix

First Boss in SSC down finally and so it begins…or something! Lewt was: A bit poor and both went for min bid but hey at least we got trash epics too! Much to Immeh’s annoyance he seems to be getting the nether vortices at a much faster rate than the Primal Nethers he needs so nae luck there really!

As is the tradition of late Hydross is yet another boss that provides a crap screenshot when killed, so in an attempt to spice it up a bit, here’s a cat!

Back on form and going strong once more!  Magtheridon down!

After recent probs it was definately a case of being back on form there last night, after a singular attempt the previous night (due to connection issues for a few folks) which went well we headed back in there downing him on the first actual try of the night! Amazing the difference a few tweeks here and there makes tbh and it was a fantastic showing by all involved.

Loot was:

  • Chestguard of the Fallen Hero – Razyen
  • Eredar Wand of Obliteration – Jonpaule
  • Liar’s Tongue Gloves – Valavirgilin

(WTB Warrior loot!)
