Ragnaros
-
Wow. What a night! After getting Ragnaros down to 11.7% on the Sunday night, no-one wanted to be left out on the Monday, and the same group of 10 returned the next night. In the end it only took 3 attempts on the Monday. After some confusion on Son of Flame assignments on the first attempt, and a spectacular double death fail by someone *cough* on the second attempt, the third time was the charm.
It took us 82 wipes and the efforts of 17 different people practising the fight over the course of 7 weeks before we finally got him. A big thank you to everyone that helped get us this far. This is the first time we've faced a proper "progression" boss where we've had to work hard to get it, and says a lot about the character of the guild that we got through the wipe nights with a positive attitude and a friendly atmosphere.
Don't forget to check the Progression link on the menu over on the left to see both the trophy kill screenshot, and also for the first time, video footage of the whole fight!
Congratulations to all!

We're not quite there as a guild yet, but one of our members (Fisal) was part of a successful PuG raid on Ragnaros last night. As well as getting himself a shiny new bow, this does mean that we have the option of trying some of the earlier bosses on heroic when he's available to join the raid.
As such, it's well worth raiders having a look online for Heroic Shannox guides so that you're ready for it. Lots of 391 items on offer, as well as the upgrade token for the heroic tier legs, and also [Crystallized Firestone] for upgrading other items such as the [Ranseur of Hatred] to the much more shiny [Ranseur of Hatred].
