Wildcard

It has been a long run. Killing normal modes in the first week. And then 28 weeks later Deathwing falls on heroic mode. It all took a bit longer than expected but every guild has their ups and downs on a realm like Ravenholdt. Losing half the raiding group after Yor saj HC, Losing one out of two tanks after Ultraxion HC. We managed to regroup and finish this raiding tier. Final encounter: Peef, Tedt, Nytramix, Angelicsoul, Vincentia, Darqhunter, Grayvind, Blazings, Rapsodie, Linessa. also thanks to Shatterproof for SpineHC. Goodtimes and we will see what pandaria brings us.

Cleaning up some older stuff while we wait for a main raidgroup to be reformed.

While it's been ages ago (exactly at: 3/29/12) it's worth notting, that after several adventures our brave rogue got Fangs of the Father set which definitely will be of use in the upcoming fights as we hope. Huge congratulations and many dead bodies on your way Blazings!

After having many troubles getting our heroes together we finaly continued our mission to save Azeroth. We boarded the alliance gunship know as the Skyfire, But quickly after we were assaulted by The Tauren Warmaster and his twilight dragons. It didn't take long for our heroes to get rid of this Cow and his pets, so that they could continue their mission against the real threat know as Deathwing. it was a very fun heroic encounter with the combination of twilight barrage soaking, and keeping adds under control. people included in the kill: Eliisa(Surv), Steviepie(Afl), Angelicsoul(Holy), Blazings(Combat), Alandra(Shadow), Rapsodie(Fire), Urakiba(Feral), Nytramix(Holy), Niobi(Prot), Tedt(Blood).

And kickin' or rather cleaning and catching up. Been ages, and definitely can't say we're on time with this guy, but well, he is dead and he can't do anything about it! Not much to say here, fight is fun, we were slow with it, so nothing to brag about but a kill is a kill. Definitely you can expect more kill shots in the upcoming future! In case (read: as always) names weren't clearly visible, on the kill present were: Angelicsoul, Nytramix, Rapsodie, Alandra, Urakiba, Blazings, Saviorkillz, Sechs, Raach & Grayvind.

Ye, ye; been ages between "we should have it already" and "we have it!". Could list at least eight reasons of such a delay (or names), but instead it's definitely better to focus on what's important here and now; and that is a huge congratulations to Rapsodie on a new mount (:P) and a very sexy staff!

During our off raiding day we went firelands. and we got lucky once again granting us a second fire bird. Obviously shatterproof didn't get it cause he was slacking

Not much to say. Once we figured out positioning versus our set up it became easy, until that random people were dying. Maybe not a fast kill, but a first step in Heroics has been made and we are moving deeper. Stay tuned for more screenshots :)

After 3 days in Dragon Soul, everything is cleaned up and washed, ready for Heroic Modes next week. Now we can focus on other things, while watching which guilds will make past first week's eliminations to join the fun in hopefully challenging fights. Can't say it was a long and tough progress, everything seemed to go so fast and one day spent on Deathwing feels a bit dissapointing, but the game is changing and we hope for some much much harder fights starting Wednesday. Yet, Server second and Alliance first in normals is not so shabby, right? It wouldn't be that if not the dedication and effort not only by group that went in, but also by the entire guild being ready to join at any time if needed, and it was; just before Spine, we've lost main tank, and on Madness we were forced to make few more changes. Since screenshots aren't always clearly showing names, kill was maded by: Thundertaz, Angelicsoul, Galita, Eliisa, Thunderkiss, Leei, Shruikand, Asfrad, Tedt and Grayvind. It wouldn't be so fast if not the help with progress thanks to: Shatterproof, Mit and Blazings and of course entire guild for being ready in case you know our computers or connections weren't ready for what we were ;)

See you in Heroics!

   Deathwing is coming, oh wait... he is already here, rather we are coming for him! Yes, having that in mind and a calm, static moment of gearing up in Firelands HC we want to be ready for the incoming Patch 4.3.

   As for now we are interested in a serious, good, dedicated and active tank for the Main tank role (that means very active tanking, both progression and farm content) - yes, I'm aware, people say such tanks are a myth. We are looking for at least one such, preferably Protection Warrior, but we can work something out if no other option.

   So, you read that, do not tank anything except those moments assisted by Recount warning and wonder who will give you back 20 seconds of your life for reading above?
Worry not. We are also considering exceptional applicants both from DPS and Healer roles! However, please keep in mind that we are heavy at this moment on Ranged DPS and until our Tank situation will be sorted we cannot guarantee much on the DPS/Healer field. Still, if you are determined and good, read further, please!

   What else you need to know? Here, you will find info about our guild (shortened), and here you will find template along with instructions of where and how to post application which usually will be resolved within one day.

Good luck and hope we share the fun together!

This must be fun on 25man! The amount of randomness in this fight is just incredible; two healers with Countdown, Countdown on Tormented player with healer on the opposite side than freshly spawning Shard to pick up - pure fun! Nonethless, it took short to take Baleroc down, and with that we are looking only at Ragnaros HC at the moment, while gearing up for 4.3. to greet Deathwing with open hands.

Right, next week, next body on our kill list! Holding Meteors in the middle helped greatly with overall reducing damage, everything else we managed to execute flawlessly so tonight Alysrazor got two shotted, leaving us with Baleroc HC and Ragnaros left to clear, while gearing up and waiting for 4.3. Since raiding week just started stay tuned for hopefuly more screenshots!

Right, Wednesday test pulls, mess, and us getting used to few changes regarding Heroic mode. Not really much to say, on Thursday once we've figured out how to beat Broodlings and Drone Fixation it was a matter of time. Few pulls after, and we are focusing already on Alysrazor & Baleroc HC. The curse of lack of healing loot is still with us, and yes, we are still looking for a full time tank, nothing changed here! Hopefully that's not all and soon you will see more screenshots here. Big thanks to those who stay as backup ready to get in during the problematic times!

Indeed, took to shift him way more than on Normal version of the encounter. While we pulled him few times on Wednesday, it took us 5 pulls on Thursday to take him out. Pretty intense fight toward the end, once we figured out how to shift him, became very doable and here we go, one more on the farm list! Fun fight I hope for everyone. It's the first kill after nerf and for sure we will bring more on the way to gear up for 4.3. What will be next? Screenshots of course will show it. Speaking of which, today's screenshot is without body (but with achi linked) because I managed to port before thinking it was actually progress boss and it would be nice to make a picture of it - will be fixed next week!

Steering him was like trying to park a TIR in a basement. Fragments all over the place, adapting with DPS, quite insane damage to heal, and finally we got him down! Not much to say, really, if not the RNG of this fight; both Volcanos spawning all over the platform plus Ryolith updating damage done in a not-so-predictable way it would be I believe fun fight. What's next? Does it have fire? Right, next screenshot will answer these questions, so far we're trying to take down as much as possible before the nerf bat for 4.3. so stay tuned, more incoming!

Ragnaros dead, time for some farm! After several pulls we can clearly say Shannox haven't changed much. Encounter, yes, a bit, but not the difficulty. I think we got more pulls on normal version of this encounter than on heroic one. Hard to say much more, farm list grows up, time for more! Who will be next, will it be challenging? Only screenshots will answer this question. Stay tuned!

It's been a bit of progression! Complexed fight, very entertaining, with loads of changes over the course, pointed our every d/c, every mistake without mercy. Yet, it's done and tonight we can actually say clearly: See you in Heroic Modes! Surprisingly Paladins appeared to be fireproof, Meteors refused to say "cheese" instead were wrecking havoc among us. Pure fun - can't wait Heroic version! Credit goes as on screenshot with huge thanks to Mit and Steviepie who sadly weren't on the kill yet working hard for the entire progression time on Firelord. Next week the hunt begins, literally!

After hell of a week, with major changes to the guild, we're back on track! Took a bit, but definitely was interesting progress (many trees can confirm that fire hurts!). Again our luck kicked in and loot went for OS and DE, but we're patient! All that's left on the way to Heroic modes are Majordomo and Ragnaros, so we're looking forward for more fun this week! Awesome job on the fight and since on screenshot it's hard to see names on those fiery guys we are killing here is the list of Wildcards present on the kill! Tanks: Shatterproof, Thundertaz; Healers: Angelicsoul, Galita, Mit; DPS: Steviepie, Eliisa, Synthaxis, Leei and Grayvind. Many thanks and credit also to Widcards not present on a kill: Kathriel, Devilius and Zagrina. Stay tuned, more screenshots to come!

Yes, I have to admit. On Sunday no kill, no picture, nothing. That's why we did two tonight! Ryolith and Baleroc are the happy winners of tonight's Wildcard hunting. Ryolith was just awaiting to be finished after the wave of D/C's while Baleroc was kind of a pick up boss to be dead next. Both winners awarded Rogue loot and are patiently awaiting next meeting on Wednesday! Cheers everyone for a good progress night and see you at the next screenshot!

This Saturday's night, a raid free day, we went for some thrash/rep farm out of nothing. After clearing "spider wing" someone said: "If Devilius will go heal we can kill her!". Six pulls later we were looting Beth'Tilac. Even beside normal modes of Firelands bosses seems to be so easy, it's still fun and entertaining instance. Nonethless, not much to say, a nice kill (gratz on D/C Stevie :P) and thanks for help to Alandra and Synthaxis on the initial pulls! Sunday is a raiding day so who knows? Maybe next picture coming? You never know and we're moving on! Wildcard, a place to be!

Watch Astilens awesome Video here!

First raiding night, and Shannox is down. Once we've got Traps and Spears under control it seems we have a new guy on farm list! Since we're heading further, you can expect more screenshots in nearest future, stay tuned!

As some of you might noticed, we've changed our Banner (Tabard as well of course). To celebrate it, we went into TB to find our new fans (and we found few!). If you happen to not like it and be from opposite faction, I guess you'll have to get it used...many times! Black Butterfly refers to a symbol of "Butterfly Effect" which is so similiar to situations described in short as a "Wildcard event" or "Wildcard" as a person in certain situation. For more details, you'll have to visit our in guild forum and read growing story there, as for public information so far that's it, however at some point we plan to release Guild RP background for anyone interested!

Do you remember, long time ago when we went very very serious into Chimaeron's room in order to beat him? When it took like 5 pulls, 20 minutes of progress and that was all? Right, we have a bad news for you. Again, we talk about it for a bit, prepared, went inside with new fresh strategy of awesomness, took 2 pulls and then we killed poor guy. Technical fights relyin' heavilly on coordination between tanks and healers are cool, however dissapointing a bit is that if you have them really good, like we do, this fight is a joke. Another down, another guest on the farm list. We're moving on!

P.S.: Oh, and if you hope we've released Finkle, we have again bad news for you...

After dramatic 5 pulls (ok we pulled him previously for lols few times before :P), he is dead. Considering we went for him to check on logs when and how much of a damage is goin' on tanks/raid we spent more time thinking what to kill next than actually killing him. Well, first 30-45 seconds was fun, that's it (not sure if our healers share fun with me as DPS :P). Halfus dead, and as he stated before his demise; now Cho'gall will have our heads. I think we just can't wait! Stay tuned, because it's just the beginning of a raiding week!
