The Pink Mean Machine!
Watch out bad guys... the Pink mean machine was awesome last night. We where on a roll… after downing Kel'Thuzad …. (Silly old cow does not scare us anymore) we shuffled over to Obsidian Chamber and killed Sartharion with two drakes up. This was done efficiently and there is no doubt the Sart 3D is within our grasp.
With time on our hands we decided to head of to EoE and give old Maly a slap around. And what a brilliant encounter it turned out to be. On our first attempt, we got to third phase with 25 raid members alive and in record time. It was just perfect – we had so many stacks on Malygos that there was no doubt that we would have killed him in under six minutes. I think we did this so well that WOW did not know what hit it …. The instance bugged out and for no reason at all, we wiped instantly – all 25 raid members going from near full health to 0 instantly. Bizzare and frustrating – no enrage timer – record and achievement within sight.
Not to worry though, we picked ourselves up and after a bugged 2nd attempt (again – perfect - 2nd phase Maly was already down to 40% when all DPS just took insane damage and we wiped) we killed Malygos efficiently and professionally – Impressive stuff PINKIES – Malygos is on farm.
With half an hour so to go, we decided to give the new boss is VOA a shot. Archavon the Stone Watcher droped in minutes and then after one wipe we downed Emalon the Storm Watcher, our DPS and team work was fantastic.
This was raiding at it’s finest. Great time was enjoyed on vent…. Many new achievements…. Many great loot upgrades.
Well Done to everyone of you.

Yes. It was a very impression night indeed. The focus and DPS was at times very good.
EoE went well because we had a Ranged Heavy DPS team. In phase 1 this allows for people to stay in the Buff Zone even when taker had to take Malygos around quickly. Add with that the fact everyone was naturally producing high DPS it ment on the 2nd and 3rd goes we had the phase down 2 1/2 minutes.
Again in phase 2 with a ranged heavy team it ment that the Melee all went up very quicky on the first 4 to 6 platforms and there were no melee left on the ground doing nothing. The Ranged focused on the Target marked by Raia (Skull) when we could and when that was out of Range Taker excellenty marked a secondary Target (Cross). This ment that DPS was focused instead of being scattered and again phase 2 was brilliantly cleared everytime. It was an excellent Job, one of the most impressive i have seen by a RMWP 25 man Raid Team.
As for OS we managed to get the first drake down before the second drake arrived. This is very important as it is a yard stick by which to measure yourself by to see if you can do 3 drakes. I didnt see anyone eat a Void Zone and only 1 or 2 people took a fire wall. All in all it shows that the teams focus on the overall job and not just the individuel jobs of DPS/Healing and Tanking were there.
Emelon was downed easily, Again it is a Ranged Firendly fight!! If there was a DPS team heavy on Melee It would be much harder as they spend so much time running around and not DPSing.
BUT TO BRING THINGS DOWN TO EARTH A LITTLE
Last time we had a Raid night were we sang our praises on the forums tha day after the next 25 man Raid day was the biggest desaster I have every been in. Wiping repeatedly on Kel'Thuzzad till the Raid was called without a kill. Our next heroc Raid is Ulduar. We will need the same mix of Focus & Fun which makes our raids not just successful but friendly and at times just a little crazy. Dont assume we produce nights like yesterday on a whim. If people bring the same attitude on Thursday I guarantee we will down 3+ bosses in Ulduar.
On a closing note........
In speaking with people in other guilds wh are in Ulduar. Most guilds are trying to shift the balance from Melee to Ranged DPS. So it seems our stance atm of not accepting any more Melee and trying to bring on only Ranged is correct and somehting we will continue with.
Thanks for a great night guys. Ill be on for a few hours tonight but not Raiding. I need a night off and an early bed
