After what felt like and endless amount of tries and many many 3-8% wipes, we finally got Sindragosa on heroic mode with the last possible try (2/35).

You can’t possibly feel the weight that fell off our shoulders and the tension that built up during the last 2 minutes of this fight.

As you can easily see here the fight was a pretty close call at the end, about to hit the enrage timer and a tank death during the fight. Fortunately we made it anyhow!

I kind of like the challenges hard modes provide right now. I recall durin the last weeks we just rushed through ICC, with no need to optimize anything and just zerged through the encounters.

But now with so many heroic modes like Festergut/Saurfang/Blood Queen that we actually had to work for the reward is a sensation of  achieving something, which is what raiding used to make out.

Anyway, we lost some people the last weeks and if you are interested in joining <Borked>, head over to our forum and write an application!

Ravencrest has been well known for its fabulous PuG’s, but this is definitely our highest success so far.

Last november we PuG’ed Anub’arak on heroic – though we never made it better than with 49 tries unfortunately – but this is definitely the new highlight.

Considering we just raid Fridays and Saturdays for like 3-4 hours each, this is awesome progress and we can finally get some hard modes done.

Here is the World of Logs meter for the fight.

Treebearman from <Pacifism> has done a great job leading this PuG to success and I would like to thank you for keeping this PuG running despite all the migration issues we have faced the past weeks.

On a sidenote, if you are an exceptional player with decent Skills you might like to contact Treebearman ingame or here on the forum to join this PuG. After the recent wave of migrations we have to fill our spots with fresh meat!

Usually we duo/trio Doomwalker for a fast kill and easy cash, but a few days ago there was noone around that was willing to help to kill Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker so I decided to give it a try solo.

Doomlord Kazzak worked out nicely at the start but the constant mana drain and the need for dispells ended up in a  heavy consumption on mana. Either I was not able to keep up the hp or the mana  and I am not really sure how to counter that. After a few tries I decided to skip him and rather try my luck on Doomwalker.

Doomwalker was really easy, I could keep up nearly 100% hp using Judgement of Light and Seal of Vengeance, it just took some time to get him down :D

At 20% however things start to become tricky, Doomwalker enrages and attacks harder and faster (hat some 10-12k hits).

Even with Sacred Shield, Seal of Light, Judgement of Light he was slowly wearing my HP down.

The Earthquake Phase during his Enrage is probably the best time to gain up some hp. Other than that I was slowly drained of HP, let Argent Defender keep me alive, saved LoH for the next time I was low on hp, to have Argent Defender available right after.

The fight took roughly 17 minutes, which is a long time on a PvP Realm. Fortunately people were busy hunting turkeys at the time :D

The loot was 498G and 2 BoE Cloaks that I sold for 275g each, nothing to complain about!

Saturday is Treebearman’s Trial of the Grand Crusader (TotGC) 25 day. It is our third kill now and today we managed to get the Achievement “A Tribute to Mad Skill (25 player)“, for killing Anub’arak in 49 tries. Only one silly wipe on Twin Val’kyr away from a Tribute to Insanity which we will hopefully get soon.

With Justicebringer my Paladin is almost better geared soon than my Shaman :D We also had the third Death’s Verdict in a row which ispretty nice, considering that in the main raids on normal and heroic we have seen only 1 Death’s Verdict drop so far.

Thanks for the awesome performance and next goal is Insanity! Congratulations to all!

Not sure if this is the first Pickup Group to defeat the Evil Anub’arak on the Trial of the Grand Crusader (25, heroic), but I think it is definitely worth mentioning.

I think it is pretty amazing to gather 25 players and reach Anub’arak with 49 tries left in the first place, there was a wipe on twins, and then to need only 7 further tries to kill the final boss of the Trial of the Grand Crusader.

The setup was far from perfect, for example we had 1 ret paladin in like 50% tanking gear (due to lack of alternatives), and there were also many alts which makes this kil even more  impressive. A big /salute to Treebearman from Pacifism to get this started!

Well done everyone!
