Ulduar - 24 Nov 2009

Very exciting night as we finally saw all of the keepers.

We cleared the trash with just 6-8 people as we were waiting for stragglers to log on. Unfortunately, Azador's internet broke as we found out later. Toch substituted as a DPS warrior. A solid kill on Hodir with no one dying for the first time in all our attempts on this boss. Unfortunately, it was our second attempt in the same raid ID as we extended the instance since last week, so no tick in the Champion of Ulduar yet :( Also two minutes slower than the speed kill, will need to work on that next. Remember the loot from the faster kill is the hard mode better loot.

Then we threw in something new and attempted Thorim. One shot him on the first ever attempt, with some people having never seen the boss. Very exciting! Sadly, Akholy died in the Gauntlet, so no tick in the Champion of Ulduar again.

We attempted the 20 minute achievement on Freya. We were doing really well on all the trash, but Freya got the best of us and the elemental adds caused a lot of issues on the first attempt. So we died and had to go again. Sadness.

We then did all the hard trash leading up to Mimiron and put in two attempts on the boss. The first one was extremely solid, we got all the way to phase three without too much trouble, but my lack of direction meant we let too many adds build up and lost the fight. We tried to put in a second attempt after the raid end-time, but died on phase one due to pumpkiness.

I have extended the Raid ID so next time we'll do Mimiron, General, and Yogg; and that's it folks, instance cleared. Can't wait!
