After our two percent wipes from yesterday, we named Dranosh defeated, took his loot, ran past him and finally left the lower spire behind us. Having the first wing clear in the hard mode awarded another achievement and progress point for the rating tools.
We then went on to Festergut who got supported by Putricide who threw malleable goos mainly on our healers to slow us down. But even with the aid of the vicious professor, he was not able to withstand our combined forces.
After Festergut was dead, our raid time was over. So we left victorious with no further casualties.
With Deathbringer Sarufang and Festergut dead and the wing-clear-achievement, we earned three more progress points this evening and climbed to rank 33 in Europe in the guilldOx rating . We are looking forward to trying the other bosses in the citadel.
10/12 ICC Hard modes clear!
Putricide down! Conscious Gaming back on #20 in EU 10-Player-Strict-Progress
This raid week started promising with a real farming of the first nine hard mode bosses in the first raid night so that in the second one on Thursday we had only Professor Putricide, Sindragosa and the Lich King himself left.
It was decided that we would keep training on the Putricide hard mode and we were prepared to wipe all evening in “Putricide's Laboratory of Alchemical Horrors and Fun” if necessary. Last week, we already got our hopes up but couldn't coordinate the Unbound Plague and Plague Sickness too well. This changed this week when we actually got surprised by phase three in one of the first tries. Impressed by our own ingenious talent and the 20% buff, we dropped dead and had to try again. One and a half hour after our official raid start, we finally did it. Putricide is no more (only in our personal ID and only until next week, of course).
It is a pity that we weren't able to catch the actual kill on fraps but rest assured: we pipped him at the post.
With Putricide gone, we recaptured #20 in Europe's 10-Player-Strict-Progress rating (still Server#1, with Amiciti hard on our heels). If we also did Sindragosa tonight, we would climb up the ladder right into the top ten on #9. So there might be quite a jump ahead of us.
We're glad we have the 20% buff and so we're looking forward to more tries on Sindragosa because tonight we brought her as far as 5% and then deteriorated and started making silly mistakes so that we decided to call the raid for tonight and come back on Sunday for these last 5%.
9/12 Hard modes clear! Conscious Gaming became server best guild
In our third raid after our LK first kill, we did the Blood-Queen hard mode and the Rotface hard mode. The Blood-Queen died in the third try. One has to acknowledge that we had a new member with us who didn't yet know our tactics and therefore had to be a quick learner. Much faster was our Progress at Rotface who went down slowly but in the very first attempt already.
Succeeding, we tried the Valithia hard mode but realized that this encounter wouldn't be quite so easy in our line up of the evening. Since we wanted to finish the ID this evening, we decided to do the normal mode instead, jumping all three portals every time, and earning the achievement “portal jockey.”
We then cleared the rest of the wing bosses in normal mode and went for a smooth second LK kill. Congratulations to the players who got the achievement.
The succeeding ID, two more hard modes followed: The Blood Council died within the very first try of the evening, so we finally mastered our positioning (this player-interconnective brain link finally pays off) and got to terms with Valanar &Co.
A fabulous unique spectacle could be seen with Valithria Dreamwalker being healed to 100% just in time, when the whole raid has died except for the dragon-healers. But what makes this fight really unique is that we haven't captured a bit of it on fraps so it will live on only in the memories of our glorious raiders.
Thereby, we climbed the ladder up to #22 in Europe's 10-player-strict-progress (world #45) and #1 on our server, closely followed by Amiciti who prove to be worthy rivals in strict raiding.
We captured some of the first kills on fraps and happily present you our performance against Lady Deathwisper, Deathbringer Saurfang, Rotface, the Blood-Queen and part of the Blood Council on video. In the next hours and days we will update our youtube channel. There you will find more videos which may not yet be linked here. So subscribe to our channel and don't miss our latest kills.
