Achievement Unlocked: Glory of the Liberation of Undermine Raider

by

It’s that time of the season- achievement raid time. On Sunday June 29th, we got together to complete the meta achievement: Glory of the Undermine Raider. Ghad lead us to victory, in fact we one-shoted each of the achievements! Some of them were easier than others but we managed to complete them all in fashion, securing the Junkmaestro’s Magnetomech mount.

Included achievements:

The most challenging of these was arguably the Garbage In, Garbage Out achievement, which required us to clean up or burn all trash before the next fight phase. We managed, though it was a bit messy (appropriate for Stix, renowned lover of trash). The easiest was probably Just/Dance, where one person needed to /dance with the disco ball in the arena during one of the phases.

This was our 2nd achievement raid for the War Within expansion and we look forward to “completing the set” next season all together.

Ahead of the Curve Achievement for Prophets Heroic Team

by

On Friday May 30th Chrome King Galliwix fell to Prophets heroic team, giving us full heroic raid tier clear for that team and achieving one of our major goals for season 2 of the War Within – Ahead of the Curve for all raiders who seek it.

Gally put up a good challenge, surviving most of our raid night before going down on the 11th and final pull of the evening. The first phase of the fight was particularly challenging to get the dance down, then strong damage on the adds was another tough spot to get through consistently. This fight was a great opportunity for this team to practice movement and coordinated defensives skills.

With one of our major season goals accomplished, we set our eyes on the big prize: Cutting Edge for our mythic team.

Rik Reverb Defeated: Mythic 3/8

by

Mr. Richard Reverberations put up quite the challenge for our mythic tier raiding team, the Olympians. We spent 106 pulls over 4 weeks of progression working on mechanics (down the adds!) and fighting the epic roster boss. The team is now sitting at 3/8 for mythic tier 13 weeks into season 2 of The War Within expansion.

It all came together for us with a little help from our friends on Thursday, May 29 and this boss dropped like his sick beats. Loot highlights included a best-in-slot necklace for quite a few, Semi-Charmed Amulet.

Shout out to close friend of the guild, Ellipi, and his crew for helping us get over the prog hump and for showing us a new approach to our raid style. Coffdropp, Raid Leader for the Olympians, and the rest of the leadership team is working hard to experiment with processes and procedures to find the best way to meet the demands of raiding, especially for the mythic tier. We are enjoying continuing to evolve as a guild & as individual players and accomplishing hard things together as a team.

We can’t wait to get going on Sprocketmonger Lockenstock!

Mythic Cauldron of Carnage Down

Mythic cauldron of carnage boss downed

Terrible two-some Flarendo & Torq of Cauldron of Carnage mythic raid tier have been defeated by the Olympians team. This boss took 58 pulls over 4 weeks of progression. The team has done a good job of getting heroic tier raid and myth tier Vexie on farm status over that time, combined with gear from vaults and keys for an average item level of 669.2.

One of the more challenging aspects of this boss was dealing with the add crowd control on Torq as well as laser placement on Flarendo. As is typical for mythic raid tier, the meta challenge of keeping the 20-person team balanced and staffed is sometimes greater than the bosses and mechanics themselves. The Last Prophecy continues to recruit to flesh out a bench as needed. Guild members Galatea and Tizdee have recently been promoted to officer rank to take on these recruiting responsibilities.

With Cauldron of Carnage down, the team sets eyes on mythic Rik Reverb as well as a fun achievement run in normal.
