After a couple hours of Verdigo and myself failing miserably on interrupting spells, I chickened out and asked for help interrupting spells. Very next try, with the help of Boejangles and Ardnalis, down he went. Wow I suck! Just imagine how hard I would have been on someone else screwing up like that. You were all way too nice to me.
After general, we did a couple pulls on Yogg. It looks pretty insane. Should be fun!

First an update to our recruitment status

Poseidon guild is open to limited recruiting. We are a semi-hardcore raiding guild. Pre-expansion we cleared BT/HJ prenerf and Sunwell post nerf. Raid times are 8pm to 11:15pm Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. As our raid times are limited, we try to run raids very quickly with as little time wasted as possible. We sit out less than 5 people per raid and run a very small roster.

In wrath, we cleared all content pre 3.1 and all achievements except for Immortal. All of this on a limited 3 days a week, 3.5 hours a night content. Raids are run quickly, with all content pre 3.1 being completed in just 2 raid nights.
We are currently looking for:
1 Balance Druid
1 Shadow Priest
1 Enhancement Shaman
1 dps Warrior
90% attendence required during 3 week trial period, 80% after

Expected gear is nearly full Naxx25 gear. Specs on raid nights are expected to be raid specs.

And now back to our regularly scheduled update

We've been very busy over the last month, clearing the first 3 wings of Ulduar. Unfortunately, I didnt take any screenshots so you will just have to trust me on our awesomeness! This week we cleared the first 3 wings leaving us a full raid night to learn General and hopefully Yogg Saron. Expect Ulduar to be clear soon!

And now back to our regularly scheduled update

Tuesday we spent 2 hours wiping repeatedly to the server down boss. Thursday we 1 shot Leviathan in a quick demonstration of superior tanking skills by Cor and yours truly as the only people alive at the end. We then pounded our heads against Ignis only to find out they nerf him 2 hours after raid end. To relieve some frustration we went and cleared the horde in wintergrasp and did a couple quick 20 man tries on the new vault boss. Sunday went better with a downing of Razorscale (got the achievement too) and XT. Finished off the night with 2 tries on Kologarn with the not so good strat of meleeing down the adds.

Expect a bunch more kills this week :)

1-2 healers. Preferably shaman or druid, but we may take others
90% attendence required during 3 week trial period, 80% after

Expected gear is nearly full lvl 80 epics. Specs on raid nights are expected to be raid specs.

And now back to our regularly scheduled update

After about 6 hours total of learning attempts spread over 3 weeks, yours truly came up with the grand new strategy. 'If we kill him tonight, I will personally send everyone 100g', your fearless leader proclaimed. With great applause, the new strategy was implemented. Tenebron down before 2nd drake lands. Whelps dead and Shadron at 25% when Vesperon lands. Only 2 people dead and Shadron dies. Portal adds cleared and we're home free from there.

The checks in the mail I swear.

3 weeks after we started raiding in the expansion, and only a little over 5 weeks after the release, we have cleared both 10 and 25 man Naxx and OS. Great job to all involved. All that remains is Malygos and then we join the ranks of those waiting for the next content release.

On our 8th try of our last raid week of the expansion, we completed the expansion. With only 8 people alive, and 4 dying shortly after the kill, we burned through the end of phase five the second time we got to it. Meteors falling everywhere, fire blooms, mage dragons running around blinking and shielding us all... The fight was easily the most complex and most fun fight in the expansion. The cheers in vent, congrats from others in general chat and random tells from other players in other guilds when we finally downed him were just awesome.

These last 5 weeks we have progressed very quickly through what is still very difficult content. You should all be very proud of yourselves as we have done what very few people have done in this game. We have one more raid night before the expansion and then a new journey begins.

I'd like to thank all of the people who have been there over this last year since we started doing 25 mans, and even more so those who were with us back when we were struggling running 2 Kara groups. Thanks to those who stayed with us through the recruitment phase and all those times not so long ago when we had to pug to fill up those early 25 man raids. Thanks to those who switched servers to play with us. Thanks to those who answered our recruiting posts. Thanks to those who sat out fights, switched specs and made the team decisions that got us to this point. Lastly, a special thanks to my wife and family for putting up with this silly game :)

A quick update. We've been very busy these last couple of weeks, and have progressed very quickly through Sunwell in the race to finish before the expansion. First we beat the mass dispell boss
And then we beat the ledge boss And then we beat the reincarnation of Akama. And in the rush to get to Kil'Jaeden your retarded leader forgot to take a screenshot. After 4 hours on KJ, we have the fight pretty well understood, he should die tonight!

Quick update for those keeping track. Patch day came and after we rolled through BT in 2.5 hours on Thursday and got Neph an OH warlgaive. We sat around for 45 minutes trying to zone into Sunwell on Sunday, then got some serious attempts in on Kalecgos and killed him in under an hour from zone in. Brutallus took even less tries including the 23 man kill ;). Felmyst down to 57%, should go down soon too. The patch has definitely made things easier but its nice to be able to see the bosses we wouldnt have been able to without the nerfs. This week, We failed at the 15 minute RoS race to kill before the server shut down but still managed to clear BT without me having to tank! Best of all, Neph got his MH and we now have a set of warglaives!

The moment we have all been waiting for finally arrived. After months of blood sweat and tears we finally got to the last boss in Black Temple. It reminded me a bit of the Kael fight we beat just under 4 months ago with 4 different tanks and tons of different abilities to deal with. We knew on Thursday that Illidan would be going down after a disheartening 18% wipe, and on our 3rd attempt of the night, down he went. We spent the rest of the night fighting our way to Kalecgos only to have half the raid locked out of the fight (but we can still heal!) Congratulations Clyne on your mace, Palenn on your loleather helm and grats on the chest Yeme, Arlecchino and Bearamut.

The next 5 weeks is going to be very busy with the patch coming out, the nerfing of all the zones, Blizzcon and the expansion. More updates coming soon!
