Depth Guild // Alliance // Blackrock

Depth has smashed Patchwerk on our first night.  We got him down on our 9th attempt.  We had intended to use pots and flasks etc when we got him below 50% on an attempt, but that 50% "attempt" swiftly turned into a kill.  Our healers did a fantastic job in keeping the tanks up considering the gear level of some.  Not to mention we were also missing some of our core DPS and healers for this fight.  After killing Patchwerk, we moved on to Grobbulus and made pretty short work of him (as you would expect).

Thank you to all who went out and farmed for consumables and flasks (which we didn’t end up using) for this fight.  Thank you (again) to the wonderful job done by the healers.  I suppose the thanks is rewarded in healing++ gear.  Grats to the following:

Dreweth – [Splinter of Atiesh]
Marline, Nile – [Desecrated Shoulderpads]
Tirasaru – [Wand of Fates]
Xandorr – [Midnight Haze]

Next up, Gluth!

This week has probably been one of the worst raiding weeks for us thus far.  Most guilds go through this I’m sure but it can frustrate you some times when things are not as easy as they should be.  A lot of guilds are going through a difficult time at the moment.  Burning Crusade is 2 months away now and people everywhere (even in Depth) are saying… why bother? Burning Crusade is just around the corner…. Depth is however, still going strong, despite set backs.  We killed Noth last night.  Class balance was looking pretty bad last night and we were lacking in the healing department, so we borrowed a priest (Dankyn) and a paladin (Mjolnir) from Southern Cross.  Well done Depth and our comrades in taking down Noth!

A good job again guys and grats to those who received loot.  Patchwerk and Grob are up next!

We tried Maexxna last week and had a few issues.  We started off this week a little shakey and then BAM, a 3% wipe.  We perservered on and got Samaria to tank since shield wall was on cool down.  After a few attempts of people getting used to healing someone other than myself (Marcus), everyone fluke healed and dps’d Maexxna down.

Congratulations Depth at fluke clearing the Spider Wing!  We had a quick crack at Noth and didn’t do too badly.  We’ll get him down next week.

Congratluations go out to the following for receiving their loot:
[Maexxna?s Fang] – Flashron
[Desecrated Gloves] – Coldkilla
[Desecrated Handguards] – Aceofclubs
[Splinter of Atiesh] – Dreweth

Depth improved its progression this week by killing C’Thun first attempt (we fluke killed him yet again) and we set our eyes on Ouro and Naxxramas.  Although we haven’t quite gotten there yet with Ouro, we did move into Naxxramas Monday night to kill Grand Widow Faerlina.  It was of course a total fluke that we got her down.  We’re expecting that next week, we will fluke it yet again, along with C’Thun.

Marcus fluked himself up a pair of [Dreadnaught Bracers], Dreweth fluked himself a [Splinter of Atiesh] and Vaeralis fluked a pair of [Polar Shoulder Pads].

Expect more fluking next week!

This week we fluke killed C’Thun yet again after our fluke kill last week.  Not only did we fluke kill it, but we fluke killed it on our first attempt.  More updates soon as we attempt to fluke kill bosses in Naxxramas!

We first started seriously attempting C’Thun about 5 weeks ago now.  Its something we wanted to do before venturing into Naxxramas by ourselves.  We got pretty close a couple of weeks back and could not repeat our great performance last week. 

Alas, we ventured into Ahn’Qiraj this week, probably the first week without a fucking server shut down during our prime-time on Wednesday and Thursday and made good progress on our first night of raiding.  Lots of people have been madly farming pots for C’Thun and tonight, we were rewarded with a kill.  Its been a long time coming, but Depth finally has gotten C’Thun down!  Well done and a good fucking job to everyone who helped to make it happen.  Some people were not there tonight and I wish you were.  Here is our awesome screen shot….

Congrats to the following for their loot:
Bexy – [Carapace of the Old God], [Belt of Never-ending Agony]
Dreweth – [Husk of the Old God]
Lexsor – [Gauntlets of Annihilation]
Marcus – [Vanquished Tentacle of C?Thun] <– ALWAYS WANTED THIS
Xandorr – [Eye of C?Thun]

Not only did we get C’Thun down this week, we also got Nefarian down without a dwarf priest the other night!  Horde have only been doing it for ages but it was hella fun.  Grats again to everyone in Depth for their great efforts in seeing this ugly eye ball motherfucker dead.

Didn’t really want to create a separate post for this.  We’re starting to push through Naxx now and although its a relatively easy boss, thought I’d post a kill shot anyway.  Anub’rekhan down for Depth also!

 

This has turned out to be the best progression week so far for Depth.  We re-visted Bug Family since that patch they got changed and killed them again on Saturday Night.  We followed this up with a C’Thun kill on Sunday Night and Monday Night Anub’Rekhan down.  A great week for everyone.
