Happy Birthday guild!

it was somewhere around that time when i was running around in orgrimmar looking for people to sign a new guild charter. I allready had a couple of friends who played with me several online games to sign for this new guild, but there been still some more missing. It started like every guild i guess, a small group of friends played together, and then with some time we found more and more cool guys who joined us. Since then we grew a lot, found more friends and they became part of us. With all this cool people AoD would not be what it is today, a nice and friendly guild where i am proud to be a part of it.

Happy Birthday Army of Darkness, time to celebrate now ;-)

MC - Eight of Ten

On wednesday we cleaned all bosses up to Garr, so it was time to go a bit further this friday as we progress quickly. We killed Baron Geddon and Shazzrah allready last friday for first time and now we killed them for second time. After they been dead again we had plenty of time to go on and try new bosses. We went to Golemagg first, i think some people were scared by the number of adds that Sulfuron has :-)

The fight at golemag went pretty straight forward till we got him down to 3%. Then one of the offtanks died and one add was running around. When Golemag was at 1% Life the other Offtank also charged into Golemag as everyone had to nuke to get him down. The amount of victims was high, but we made it on first try.


For Sulfuron no one had real experience with this boss, so we had to give it a testrun and look what could have been done better. With more dedicated dispelling power we survived long enough to get all adds down. Sulfuron itself was very easy after that and we got him down without any problems.

Though we had no good class setup this friday we still performed very well. Now it's time to get this 8 bosses on farm status, improving and make less mistakes. The learning curve went up high very quickly and i'm impressed of our raid. We started MC on 25. January with our guild alliance And His Mighty Friends, and now 3 weeks later we allready got all "normal" bosses down. But this is not the end, there are still two more bad guys waiting for us :-)

For those who havent started yet the quest series from hydraxian waterlords it's time to get it.

Thanks to all for this great raid.

3 new MC bosses down

At first i thought we wouldnt get enough players for a full raid together. So we started 15 minutes later than usual and with 4 open spots. It went a bit choppy at the beginning on trash mobs, but not of the 4 missing people but more cause people didnt concentrate enough. Maybe at end of a week of work ppl have less energy to keep concentrated all the time.

It got better after Magdamar was down. But we didnt make it on the first try. There been still too many mistakes made but we did improve, on first try we brought him down to like 13% Life. On second try the Maintank died within few seconds, mainly because he got feared and the healers who stayed on max range were out of range. But after that the Maintank knew what to do and most of us could stay on max range, i only got feared one time, when i had to walk out of a fireball. There is still something to improve, i saw some people not on max range and then they got feared.


We got Gehenas on second try, on first try our Maintank didnt get enough healings.


With 6 warlocks Garr is pretty easy, but it took us a second try. Someone managed to get aggro of a corehound dog far away ;-) The second try didnt look very promising at start as one of garr's add wasnt banished and killed our Maintank. But Zaharia did a good job on getting back to business after a ress. She had to tank Garr on the opposite site of what we had planned so all the banished adds were all across the place. After only the banished adds and Garr were left it was very easy.

In the end we got 10 epix this raid and 3 new bosses down.
