Ulduar - 10 Man - Fun Progress

On Saturday we found out that we should get a 10 man Ulduar raid going so we could get more experience of the bosses and some loot. We gathered a pretty decent team and ventured (kind of late) in to Ulduar. Now in 25 man we had only killed bosses up to The Iron Council/Auriaya so most of us had not tried out the bosses beyond.

The raid had a really high speed and we killed off all bosses flawlessly until council, where we tried out "Medium" mode killing off Runemaster Molgeim last. This did not go as well as we planned though, we got the first two down but Runemaster Molgeim killed us off too quickly when he was the only one left. So we stuck to the plan of getting as many bosses as possible down and quickly killed them off in normal mode.

Now was the time for our beloved Crazy Cat Lady which we had only scratched in 25 man and this went pretty well after only a couple of wipes. Then we started clearing towards Freya, which I found very entertaining because of the composition of mobs and abilities they had. We killed off the three guardians and took her down on our second try since we kind of failed in killing the packs of three mobs within 12 seconds of eachother the first try. The fight itself was a pretty fun fight and I like bosses like this that you just dont stand mindlessly and spam a few buttons and hope that you can do enough dps/hps/tps.

Now came the boss we really was not prepared to meet, Hodir. Hodir is one of the more enjoyable boss fights I have played (even though he owned us a lot). In this fight you really have to focus because there is alot to watch out for and to do at the same time. After alot of dodging icicles, freeing flash freezed allies, removing biting cold by running around and not getting ice blocked by the flash freezes we wiped again and again, until we called last try, and downed him! Overjoyed as we were we found out that it was for the best to quit while we were happy and content with a very well played raid, though it was 03:00+ as well.

All in all 9 bosses down and 10 happy raiders :)

• Flame Leviathan
  
• Razorscale
• Ignis The Furnace Master
  
• XT-002 Deconstructor
  
• The Iron Council
• Kologarn
• Auriaya
• Freya
• Hodir

Ulduar - Second Week - Wednesday

As we did not do very well last week we hope that this week will be more successful, and it was. Yesterday we went to Ulduar and we had no problems with either Flame Leviathan, Razorscale or Deconstructor. We downed all of them pretty fast and we to be honest we wiped more on Deconstructor trash mobs which I have to say was some vicious mobs. Flame Leviathan dropped our first [Fragment of Val'anyr] which went to our Shaman healer, Arava. We skipped Ignis and continued down to the second wing.

We cleared the mobs in the first hallway so that we could reach Kologarn who is Titan and so big that you fight his arms, which is pretty amusing. Here we remained wiping on some pewpew lazers from his eyes and some random unlucky 3 x Healers getting cought by his Stone Grip. It was a good day for AMB raiding and we are looking forward to kill some more bosses today!

Ulduar - First Week

The patch has been released and we have tried out the new instance Ulduar. In comparison to Naxxaramas it a great and much more difficult instance and we are having loads of fun doing it. The first week we were getting used to the new difficulity and the new bosses and we did not get as far as we hoped but we had progress most of the time.

The first day went rather well, or so we thought, when we killed Flame Leviathan pretty fast. Once we came to Ignis the Furnace Master things changed and we had some wipes. Thinking we should get some experience from some of the other bosses, we went to XT-002 Deconstructor and here we struggeled as well. After a few tries we tried out the last boss of this wing, Razorscale, where we remained the last of the raid time for this day. Having a rather unsuccessful first day in killing bosses we were content that we had killed one boss and had experienced the three other ones of the first wing.

The second day we went straight to Razorscale and we downed him after gaining some more experience of the fight. This is a rather fun fight with constant adds and harpooning Razorscale down. After he was dead we went for Deconstructor since we read that there was some issues with Ignis. We remained on this boss the rest of the week wiping on 3-10% because of too low dps.

Not a really good week as we downed only two bosses but we gained alot of experience from the tries we had and next week we will have a good advantage because of this.
