Lurker Below & Malacrass killed!
|
I'm behind yet again so here's the latest news...
Firstly back on Tues 23rd Sept we went back to SSC for our first look at The Lurker Below. Took us a few attempts to get into the swing of things, but after some practice (and one personnel change to get another tank into play) we got ourselves a clean guild-first kill.
Loot for the guild-first kill of The Lurker Below was:
Ancestral Ring of Conquest - Zaide
Glowing Breastplate of Truth - Rizzen
Libram of Absolute Truth - disenchanted
Plans: Belt of the Guardian - Adrieth
Fast forward to last night, and we headed into Zul'Aman. First up was the guild-second kill of Halazzi (which featured a highly amusing finale when one tank died at 3%, prompting the DPSers to line up one by one to sacrifice themselves to Saber Lash to keep the tank alive long enough for the kill!), before moving on to try Hex Lord Malacrass. We'd had two attempts on Malacrass on a previous week and managed to get him to 14%, so hopes were high, and sure enough after a couple of attempts and some strategy changes we got our guild-first kill. We then went to say hello to Zul'jin (we couldn't leave without at least seeing him), and had a single attempt that ended at 38% - so he's looking promising for a kill as well.
Loot for the guild-first kill of Hex Lord Malacrass was:
Heartless - Savager
Hood of the Third Eye - Canthus
No kill yet, but also worthy of note is that on Sunday we managed to get Al'ar to 63%-during-phase-2 on our first night of attempting him, which is a good start and suggests a kill may be on the cards soon if we can sort out the kinks. |

Void Reaver, Solarian & Hydross downed
|
I've been a bit lax on the news front again, so here's an update.
August saw us pass our first T5 milestone, with a visit to Tempest Keep that resulted in the death of Void Reaver. As alleged by pretty much the entire internet, he did indeed turn out to be very easy and he gave up his shinies on the very first night (although it did take a couple of tries before people learned to pay better attention to the orbs!).
Loot from first Void Reaver kill:
Pauldrons of the Vanquished Defender - Gjara
Pauldrons of the Vanquished Champion - Nottme
Pauldrons of the Vanquished Hero - Samtheslayer
Fel-Steel Warhelm - Nickz
With Void Reaver down and the first pieces of T5 trickling into the guild, we then refocused on High Astromancer Solarian. This proved a lot more difficult for some reason, much to the consternation of the raidleaders and primarily due to the fact that one person's single mistake would kill the raid rather than just them. After a number of attempts, Solarian eventually went down and there was much rejoicing.
Loot from first Solarian kill:
Boots of the Resilient - Adrieth
Void Star Talisman - Daspien
Vambraces of Ending - Nottme
At this point we then switched over to Serpentshrine Cavern, having put together sufficient resistance gear to pay a visit to Hydross the Unstable. One initial night saw some undermanned exploration of the trash (easy) and a single no-resistance-gear learning-pull of the boss to get a feel for it, and then soon after we put together a full raidgroup and nailed him on our first proper night of trying.
Loot from first Hydross kill:
Shoulderpads of the Stranger - Zaide
Fathomstone - Davegotsu
Scarab of Displacement - Kazzataur
Three Tier-5 bosses down; hopefully more still to come before the next expansion! Screenshots are on the Guild-First Killshots page. |
