Show and Tell

Greetings my readers. I do apologize for the lack of updates but it has been quite a ride, almost since the beginning of last week. A lot has happened and many changes have occurred. The most, probably in our guild at Performance but now it seems to finally have settled and we can be on our merry way, to continue our progression in 25-man content.

On a very personal front, a slew of achievements have come my way, several which have been long due to be honest. We started from 10-man Naxxramas and after plowing the first four quarters of the instance with practiced ease, we were ready to take on Sapphiron. Not surprisingly, it took us only one wipe to get the hang of it and after that the undead dragon proved a small challenge.


Kel'thuzad was refreshingly a much bigger challenge, though only technically as he goes through the various phases. In fact, by my observation bosses with are often ones that require more practice to bring effectively down and the lich sure gave us a run for our money. But in the end, after mastering adds and positions, was time to finally lay the creature to rest.


Of course, 10-man is not the only place we have done fabulous progress now. As a guild, Performance, we have completed both of the first quarters, arachnid and plague with little difficulty, although for some of us it was a first time. Military evades us with the lack of priests for Razuvius but Construct was easy picking until we met Thaddius.

Last but not least, Sartharion fell infront of the firing line during a short excursion, after a long night in 25-man Naxxramas. We only had 20 members left but to our surprise, few of us hardly noticed until Heroic: Less is More flashed on our screens. Have to admit, we felt pretty after by that time.


I believe that is enough of show and tell for the day. Next stop, if I had to take a guess, pressing deeper into 25-man Naxxramas and taking on Sartharion with drakes this time. Heck, who wouldn't like a chance to roll for the Reins of the Twilight Drake ;)

Return of the Blogger

Hello Readers

I apologize to all my readers for not having had the time to write lately. Almost a week has passed, I believe, without a single new post and I feel guilty for neglecting you guys. Turmoil beset our guild as our raid leader had to part us for personal reason and, at the request of our guild leader; I attempted to pick up his heavy mantle.

I never envied him for that responsibility, for our guild, the raid leader is not only responsible for training and helping the new members, or in experienced members, gear and understand their classes well enough to become ready for Naxxramas. However, we succeeded very well, and I do mean We. I give full credit to Tatiiana and Linz, without them I could not have succeeded.

Thank you guys, we make a damn good team :)

Now the rain has fallen and we are back on our feet. We pulled all our members together and within couple of days, we had a Naxx run scheduled. Was our first run as a guild, with only half of the group having had any experience within the dreaded walls.

We succeeded the first night with another and I admit, I am impressed. During two night, we only wiped twice. One was a gargoyle at plague wing that caught us by surprise. Second was a bad first pull on Patchwork.

To demonstrate our well found resolve, here are some of my gathered statistics:

Anub'rekhan: 5:42.
Grand Widow Faerlina: 3:44.
Maexxna: 3:48.
Patchwork: 4:48.
Noth the Plaguebringer: 6:34.

I would actualy stress that we brought Patchwork down on the second day, when some of our top dps players could not join, and still we killed him under five minutes. This is a very good start for a simple social guild that is moving to raiding.

For this, everyone has my congrats. Hope to see you all again tonight and we will continue to plow success against the armies of evil.
