After the past week of farming, stability and attuning five new people, we were ready to step up and tackle our next boss in Black Temple last night, Gurtogg Bloodboil. Once Teron was down, we actually managed a pull on him as the last thing we did on Monday night, purely for fun. Well that was final outcome as I wanted to learn his trash while farming overpowered epics, overpowered gems and desperately building up our comparitively meagre supply of Heart of Darkness’.
The fight wasn’t really that bad. Three groups of five had to rotate in and out of a ditch every ten seconds, three tanks need to manage their hate perfectly and one person needs to know how to survive for thirty seconds while being cure bombed. It’s pretty straight forward but requires the entire raid to play perfectly and skullfuck Omen. On that front, I felt pretty bad for Tsu as he slowly slid up in threat while essentially doing nothing. Oh well, our piece of shit server gets Subtlety soon!

Well, this is my first update and I’m pretty damn terrified of messing something up. I’ve never used Dreamweaver in my life and once I actually managed to get up to this point my eyes refused to bail my brain out. I’m used to dealing with code about as complex as posting a picture and centralizing it so this is truly daunting. My methods will be copy and pasting, hardcore editing and some sketchy shortcuts to help keep the masses happy all the while hoping nothing breaks. Really, until I get comfortable, the thought of doing this regularly is pretty horrible but it’s not something I want to inflict upon anyone I was even sure could handle it. I don’t mean to sound negative at all as I’m sure I’ll end up enjoying updating this as much as I do on my own personal blog (God I hate that word). I guess writing two updates at every stage of progression from two different perspectives could be sorta fun too so there’s hope yet!
Archimonde was a nightmare. It’s one of those fights where a lot of control is taken out of your hands and dying to bad luck is a very real possibility. However, picking apart the wipes and figuring out which was bad luck and which was something completely idiotic (like cratering…) turned out to be pretty difficult as people don’t like to own up to their mistakes for fear of being shouted at in a loud British accent. After some small but important changes to the raid positioning and 94 Purification Potions had been distributed out evenly amongst the raid by Setsuko and I, he soon fell. It was an extremely satisfying kill and the first to really put up any sort of resistance to being steamrolled since we killed Kael’thas.
