Last night the Red Devils actually managed to put together a 25-man raid and even had a few people on the wait list! This was a big change from our latest experiences where we wait until 7:30 or 8:00 (our raid time is supposed to start at 7:00) and then have to call the raid due to a lack of numbers. We have been recruiting heavily and our Guild Leader (Aniraa) has done a yeoman’s job of scouring recruitment sites looking for suitable new members. Her efforts appear to be paying off and I give her a big Red Devils salute. Thank you, Aniraa!
So, we now have some new members that are learning how the Red Devils work together. Given our performance last night, things are looking up for us. We were able to clear Vault of Archavon, then headed to Ulduar and successfully downed Flame Leviathan, XT-002, Razorscale, Ignis, the Iron Council and Kologarn before calling it a night. Not too bad! We only wiped while attempting to do the Iron Council in a hard mode. We made a few attempts, then fell back to the standard approach and easily downed all three Councilmen.
But, that’s not to say we didn’t have some close calls. In particular, we very nearly wiped on Ignis. Fortunately, we had one very savvy shadow priest (Hunterpayne) that was able to keep himself alive long enough to give the finishing blow to Ignis. Everyone else was face down on the floor! Take a look at the screen shot. There’s Hunterpayne in the lower left with his battle bot winding up for another cast just in case Ignis decides to get back up again. The raid frames tell the story… we are all dead. Nice save, Hunterpayne and congratulations on soloing Ignis the Furnace Master!
