RAIDS

The last few days has seen a LOT of raiding.

Thursday - Gruuls ------------------

We've been working with a couple of guilds to get some 25 man content up and running. The Ancients is a smallish social guild, with a bunch of toons who enjoy raiding, so to get into 25 mans, we've been making some new friends.

This week, we got a great Mage tank from the word GO. It made a HUGE difference. We still needed to fine tune the strategy or a wipe or two, getting more exposure to what happens AFTER the pull was good for everyone! High King ate it.

We fired through Gruul, and Jondy was rewarded with: [Cowl of Nature's Breath]. A first for some of the 10 Ancients that attended the raid.

Obento is pictured above [thanks for the screenshot].

Friday - Kara --------------------

Since we are a small social guild, we have more toons than can fit in our raiding schedule, particluarly toons that aren't geared to clear Kara. Since our first Kara group has ZA scheduled for this week, Jondayla and I decided to take some toons in for some Kara 101.

Elf had just leveled his pally healer to 70 and had worked hard on his pre-Kara gear. After Jossamine, Konbawa and Zenborg DPS'd him through his first Heroic (SP) days ealier, it was an ideal time to take him into Kara. Moonspirit, Moppet and Rage were able to help out, so after signing up a couple of toons who don't usually get a spot in Kara runs, and Fel's hunter alt - we were set to go.

We planned on a tidy run up to Curator, and call if for the week - which is exactly what we did. Each of the toons that had less exposure to Kara got a new epic piece of kit, including Fel's hunter with [Legacy] and [Garona's Signet Ring] - the later still eluding Elf, Oday, Lis, Barrath ... the list goes on. Adirix got [Bracers of Justice] from his first run.

Friday / Saturday - Magtheridon --------------------


In the wee hours, 5 ancients - Zenborg, Jondayla, Obento, Odayla, Mearaz - joined in on a Mags pug... and we cleaned up.

Zenborg: [Souleater's Handwraps]
Jondayla: [Magtheridon's Head] -> [Naaru Lightwarden's Band]
Obento: [Cloak of the Pit Stalker]
Odayla: [Pit Lord's Satchel]
Mearaz: A huge beating, and tanking Mags into the ground

Big thanks to Ferek, invited us to the PUG, and who has been a pleasure to play with over the last few weeks.

Saturday - Zul'Aman --------------------

We ventured into Zul'Aman again on Saturday night, to get our closest yet to the first chest at Nalorak. After a failed attempt at the naked gauntlet - we went on a scenic tour to get owned by Halazzi - turns out I shouldn't try and take the ~50k cleave by myself amongst the other melee damage.

However we managed to make our way back to Akil'zon and mete out some swift punishment for The Ancients first 2/6 ZA run.

Sunday/Monday - Kara ----------------------

Kara, again? Really? Well it turns out with two toons, it can work out this way. Zenborg and Jossamine [Jondayla's lock] went in with our 2nd Kara group for some Kara goodness. We managed to hit 1 and 2 on the damage both nights, with Joss hitting #1 on night two with some Curator and Illhoof goodness. She is pictured in her SEEDing outfit.
