Yeah, we took our time getting to this point. Some people talk of PuGging the raid quite successfully. Well we here run on our own schedule. Nice and easy.
But with the next patch looming, we figured we would try to wrap up the current top end (well aside from heroic) raid.
We waded back in there on a fresh Tuesday and took out the first four bosses with reasonable promptness, which left us Anub'arak for Monday (Thursday having been Thanksgiving).
So on Monday we waded in. Despite what seemed like it should have been a smooth kill, we got off to a rather rocky start. And it stayed rocky for some time. Refinements, refinements, refinements. Mistakes were made all around (yes, yours truly had to fess up to his own), and the raid leader was getting frustrated. Pretty standard new boss fare. Just getting the rhythm down.
Then it happened. Everyone did what they needed to do (or rather what everyone needed to do was refined such that they COULD).The first 70% went by fairly seamlessly. We rolled into the last 30% and hit overdrive. A short time later, Anub'arak was dead.
Congratulations again, Sinful Spirits. We may not be the fastest or most raid devoted guild on the server, but we are seeing everything that is out there.
This week we begin having ToCr on farm and also begin our assault on completing Ulduar. It will be done.
And soon, Icecrown Citadel will be before us and we will slowly tackle it as we have all content.
And thanks for everything.
