Well after an extended break from 25 mans Cry Havoc returned to the Icecrown Citadel determined to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately Naturespirit threw his toys out of the pram and stamped his feet like a 2 year old until we agreed to take him along for old times sake, but we think the other healers made up for him. Many thanks go to British Raven Guard who provided the additional bodies needed, and boy did we need them, here's to many more of the same guys!

After each fight in the Argent Coliseum proving to be a bit of a push over, hopes where high that the last boss may not be that way. Our 1st try of the night seen us survive until he got a little enraged, something we had forgot about in our strategy.
With a few minor changes to dps targets (1 or 2) our 2nd try was a little more tense, with us getting the boss down to 0.7% and then enraging, healing himself while we tried to get him down and while he happily killed us all with his locusts, nice.
The try put a new meaning to the infamous 1% wipe, with the locusts killing the entire raid and the DoTs remaining slowly killing the boss until he could'nt take any more.

From what has been seen so far heroic version is a lot harder and will be a lot more fun to try and clear. Good job all! :)

Another week another boss, well twins. This time we got lucky and by the time come to go and kill them they had (For once) been buffed making them a tougher boss. The buff however still wasnt enough as they where burned down on the 3rd attempt of the night. Next week sees the final boss Anub'arak join the funhouse and if he don't prove a challenge the Hard modes after that might just :) lets hope so.

A new week a new fight and hope for a harder boss.
This week the faction champions effectivly a 10v25 arena match and a nice addition seeing as the end of the arena season is next reset. The fight was definatly a little harder then the 2 bosses before it with the server instantly counterspelling heals when out of cc and mobs all 'ganking' the poor priest cowering in the corner.
However the fight was still done in good time as we now await the twins comming next week, eager to see if this will be the 1st challange of the new raid as is suspected.

Well we was hoping for a harder boss this week than the Northrand beasts last week to keep us entertained for a little while. Lord Jaraxxus looked like a challange however the hardest thing was trying to hear anyone over vent with a bugged DBM screaming at us to move every tenth of a seccond. He was one shotted anyway and we spent the rest of the night getting some conquest badges in naxxramas. Good job all, heres hoping faction champions will be a treat.

With the new raid comes new bosses. Well 1 new encounter per week anyway. We entered the newly constructed arena expecting a twist to the fight somewhere along the way after information on the fight portrayed it as been 'easy for a tier 9 encounter. A few trys later all 3 (4 if u count the worms) bosses where down and the 'free loot' was ours' GJ all, hopefully the next encounter be a little more, challenging.

A long time comming, yogg 25 man has been slain. After a few weeks of members taking holidays the correct group setup was obtained and the raid entered last week with a new level of determination. Tuesday evening seen stunning progress with a lot of attempts of around 10-15% with one of the last trys of the evening reaching 3% before people had to go for the evening. This week we come back and finished tying the knot before hitting the new tier 9 content. Good job all and lets keep going into tier 9 :)

Now where the 10 man kills aint normally mentioned, the group has taken a small break from their hard mode boss addiction and decided to get yogg down this week. After just 1 and a half nights on the end boss, phase 3 seemed like a nice and steady nuke.
Big gratz to all on the 10 man clear, and the substitues for the 10 man team, Also well done on the achievement Drive me crazy and I say from all the 10 man group a big thank you to Mithas for all his hard work! and his late night dedication to his 10 man team.
The group will now continue on the hard modes and hopefully will be on Algalon in a few weeks time, while in the evenings the 25man group will hopefully get a Yogg kill in the next few weeks. Good job all.

Our Descent into madness continues, with the general falling less then 2days after mimiron's defeat. Very interesting fight if you have a mana bar and are a bit trigger happy with your spells :) a few close trys ending in less then 3% health had some members going insain before they had even seen Yogg-Saron! but now the real fight starts we had only limited time yesterday due to the reset today but already some progress has been made and no longer are 50,000 adds been spawned within a matter of seconds and wiping the raid. But now the real fights start and after yogg come the hard modes...

Tonight mimiron has fallen and all 4 keepers of ulduar have been defeated. With our 1st ever full night on mimiron 25 hopes where running high for a kill, last week seen some very good progress also with 1 or 2 exceptional attempts. Our very 1st try seen us get both the body and base down with the head dying less then 2 secconds too late allowing the body to self repair. Our 2nd try expectations was high and thanks to some expert raid leading from mithas, the head, body and base died within 5 seconds of each other! Big congrats to all as now the Descent Into Madness, begins.

Hodir our 3rd keeper of ulduar has been iced. After 2 nights on the fight a last change of tactic seemed to fill in the missing gap and ice giant was downed swiftly with time to spare on the enrage, with the added bonus of the achievement Heroic: I have the coolest friends.
Now our last keeper Mimiron, a boss already with a reputation, is already at risk with our 1st full night seeing Phases 1 and 3 mastered with no deaths and occasional perfect attempts up to phase 4, where we have already got him to 10%Head 27%body 14%base. Good job all and keep up the good work as we now stand 10/14 on 25man and 12/14 on 10 man.
Also Happy Birthday to our resto shammy Myrad :)

Another keeper hits the dust, with freya falling last week and this week Thorim bringing the keepers to 2/4 and the instance as a whole to 9/14.
Another good week in Ulduar with more sill to come this week, with some very good close attempts on Hodir the next on the hitlist.
Good job all and keep up the good work :)

Freya couldnt stand in our way last night, with spirits running high after what has so far been an awesome week in ulduar another intresting and entertaining fight was expected. After reading up we could see that Freya is a unique fight in itself requiring quick thinking and co-ordination among the entire raid.
After a while we got the boss to phase 2, in our joy of getting the boss to the 'tank and spank phase' the entire raid forgot about the AoE pods that explode wiping us. Whoops.
Next try however, laughing amongst ourselves we remembered and Freya hit the dust

After a superb night of raiding downing all 4 fairly new bosses we have downed so far we decided to try our luck at the iron council.
Interesting fight once again, but tanks couldnt figure out what was killing them for 1st few tryes
Once they had figured out boss in blue is bad everything clicked in place and they was killed very swiftly.
Overall gz to everyone for the new kill, 2 achievements, and our 2nd legendary shard all in 1 night :) Good job!

Sooo last few days of last week we entered ulduar for our new progress boss Kologarn. Interesting fight with some new twists but after a few hours and a slight change to the healing aragements he died forming a nice short bridge to our loot!!!!
Gz all to who was their for the original downing, due to technical issues however a new screenshot had to be used, sorry reaperx but it looks so much better without you and this time the screenshot worked! :)

XT-002 and toys Has now been successfully recycled thanks to cry havoc and our 3rd boss in ulduar downed. Interesting fight with some nice twists but after a few tryes it all clicked and he (He, sounds like a girl) hit the deck.
Gz to all on the boss and the achievement Nerf Gravity Bombs

Another night in the new raid and another new boss downed. Razorscale now permanently chained to the ground and her loot swiftly 'taken' from her fallen corpse, no shard this time though ;(

Another intresting and random fight and so far liking what the new content has brought to the game. Bring on XT-002.

Today Ulduar has opened and at 8 server time cry havoc entered for their 1st ever time. After quickly clearing trash we had a quick go too see what the boss does. 2nd time around the flames where extinguished.

Good job all and Gz to Nature for the very 1st Fragment of Val'anyr!!! Onwards we go!

Finally Cry Havoc have obtained the right to be called Twilight Vanquishers before any nerf to the fight and before the Upcomming content patch.
Week1 saw basic wipes due to fire wall deaths and twilight fissure deaths. Members learnt quickly thought that these are something to avoid 1st drake was also killed
Week2: Drake 1 down easily, stuggled with adds but after 2 nights managed to deal with them drake 2 down.
Week3: Drake 1 and 2 down and learning the general rotation of cooldowns made on the main tank. All 3 drake where killed! but an unlucky flame wall killed the add tank.
This week. Saturdays raid was cancelled due to a lack of bears. However tonight with everyone fresh we marched in an amazing 1st try got us straight to the 3rd drake and the 2nd the killing blow!
Big gratz to all on the title and a special gratz to Twilight Vanquisher Myrad on her new mount! See you in ulduar!

After spending the last few weeks just farming gear and doing some Achievements in Naxxramas we decided to move onwards and go for Sartharian 2D/3D. After a good nights work on Sarth 3D and definate progress after 2 nights. We decided with just 30min left on raid time to go for 2 Drakes due to people not been able to raid tomorrow. After just 2 tryes, the Achievement was ours!

Now we continue our attempts progress and Determination and will see Sartharian 3D dead Soon!

It is done! After several long nights of Persistance, Effort and communication, Malygos 25man has fallen.

From the Guild famous Doc tactic, resulting in the guilds quickest ever massacre and killing the entire raid instantly. To a well planned and co-ordinated kiting North-South Method.

Phases 1 and 2 was quickly learnt, but for the last couple of nights problems where arising in phase 3 with people moving out of formation and thus dying due to lack of healing. After spending 30mins outside above the nexus practising some close formation flying we entered and saw instantly attempts of 10-17%.
After 1 hour of trying it all fitted together resulting in only 3 dying in phase 3 and a nice kill.
A big gratz to all who was their as WoTLK is cleared for now, also a special congrats to our standby raidars who tonight stepped in for some of our best DPS and Main tank.
Tomorrow. Sartharian 1/2 drakes!
