Raid Progress update

Not long finished up the latest trip to Naxx. We didnt get as far as I had hoped - but we did finish off the Military quarter, and got down Patchwerk and Grobbulus.

We could have got further but for a few facts;





  • We actually packed in lower DPS than the farm group that went in on Wednesday, so borderline in fact we took down Patchwerk literally 2 seconds after his big enrage where he took out 3 melee before dropping.
  • Communication. It was quite a fun and hyped run, but there was some over-describing of boss fights, and tactic modifications. A faster describe and attack drive would have resulted on a good attempt on the third boss.
  • Frogger... Due to latency issues, people died on this pretty much every time we had to take another go at Grobbulus, a good hour was spent sitting around/running about as people were dying and needing ressed. Tightening this up should save us a half hour
  • Horseman drop issue: The horseman dropped the chest token for Warlock/Paladin/Priest or whatever it is - all of which we were missing from the run, so we tried to get this exchanged for something someone can use - not to much success, the ticket submitters got whispered at the start of a Grobbulus attempt and were ignored when they got the chance to reply. That damn GM wiped us to boot. :p (Perfect kite, then a cloud bang in the tanks path cos a healer was whispering :/
Either way, it was a very entertaining evening - some decent progress - not as much as we could have, but were not a hardcore raiding guild, just planning to get down hardcore raids :D.
