The first week back to raiding following the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday was a success! The raid team successfully performed a full clear of Mogu’shan Vaults, our first ever, in about 2.5 hours! We found a good rhythm quickly on Elegon, and once we worked a couple kinks out, the spectral dragon was handing out loot!  Read more »

ES had another strong week working through Mogu’shan Vaults and Heart of Fear this week! Great progress was made on Elegon as the raid team coordinated and continuously pushed the final phase, well ahead of enrage timers. There are still some tweaks that need to be worked through, but we are getting close! We decided  Read more »

The raid team in Enveloping Shadows netted their fourth kill in Mogu’shan Vaults during their fourth week of raiding. Spirit Kings fell to the floor in a one-shot that was cleanly and smoothly executed by all involved. The kill participants were as follows: Bibbel (Healer), Nordicslayer (DPS), Lofaz (Tank), Ildara (Healer), Raziel (Tank), Kyter (DPS),  Read more »

It’s been awhile since the last post but ES has continued to muscle through content impressively while many guilds fail.  We’re now 6/8 on Heroic Dragon Soul, with lots of pride for having not changed our base morale and goals.  We bring everyone fairly without stressing the “perfect” makeup that a lot of sites recommend  Read more »

Well, it has been an interesting couple of months in Azeroth. ES has seen many changes. We lost our Guild Master, Raid Leader, Backup Raid Leader, Main Tank, backup tank, several officers, still more healers and DPS, and we transitioned to a 10 man raiding guild after being a 25 man raiding guild for around  Read more »

With 4.3 hitting last night, we took our first furtive steps into the new raid, the Dragon Soul. All the confusion of new content that we know and love was available in generous quantities, as we brutalized our way through the first three bosses. Admiral Morkchop fell over with barely a protest, feeling more like  Read more »

After many, many weeks of coaxing him out of hibernation to show up to raids to get his items, Sheepin has finally assembled the Horde-side 2nd Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest! As per new guild policy, we’re going to be referring to Sheepin from now on as “the staff”. Aka, “the staff is dead”, “battlerez the staff”,  Read more »

After a long struggle killing Alysrazor (which I neglected to write up because of the flashbacks), Staghelm progression was refreshingly straightforward. Despite the fact that this fight is stupidly more difficult on 25s than on 10s (we came in on Sunday after our first week of real progression and killed It in 10 man in  Read more »

Yes, we skipped Beth’tilac. I wasn’t actually in the raid for the Beth’tilac kill, which was accomplished through an elegant ballet of spiderling control, drone dps, and web climbing, or so I was told. Baleroc, however, was a boss of a different color. While we have decent raid discipline in terms of dps switching, staying  Read more »
