Naxxramas 10 Man Cleared!

Last night, of Dath'Remar cleared Naxxramas 10 Man. We had a good start to the week on Thursday, clearing Spider and Plague wings, and leaving only Thaddius standing in Construct in our first raid night that actually went for only the planned 3 hours. After trying Sapphiron the previous week, with a mix of Frost Resist gear, and a bug that increased the Frost Aura damage by 100% - we managed to one shot Sapphiron, with Jondayla putting in a huge effort, solo decursing. Kel'Thuzad was an exciting challenge, particularly in the burn phase when we lost out OT to a frost blast, and held things together for the kill.

Unfortunately a couple of our regular raiders couldn't make it for our first ever clear, and we had a guest Mage, Shak, join us for the last two encounters. His first foray into Naxxramas was a great effort. He managed to eke out more DPS than me, sticked to our strategy, win some loot and get the last two bosses done before his journey through the wings even begins.

The news post is up on the guild site, and if anyone from our server (Dath'Remar) is looking for a great social guild, we may just be the guild for you. Commenting on this blog is as good as any way to introduce yourself to the guild. We have a particular interest in DPS (particularly ranged (and of those particulary casters)) for 25 man Naxx raiding, but we're a social guild - so if it feels like home, you're welcome.

I'd also like to thank the raiding team for allowing me to take the [Key to the Focusing Iris] first up. Its hard for me to be objective about master looting to myself, and it does make sense to give the first key to the Guild Master, Raid Leader and Main Tank, but I really appreciated the show of support for the idea.

I've been a little busy, so I haven't gotten around to writing all the posts I have rattling in my head. Some times, there's just not enough time to play World of Warcraft, let alone spend time writing about playing World of Warcraft. I'd like to finish of the hybrid Arms spec posts, write a series on social raiding at its best, and maybe even post a few of my random favourite moments from Wrath of the Litch King as they happen.
