We got a lot of shit down this week! After discovering we couldn't just waltz into Terrace we went and finished off Shek'zeer.
Then we went into Terrace and downed the first three bosses!
And finally we went back to Mogu'shan Vaults and took down heroic Gara'jal but you'll have to take my word for it because I took a screenshot with my UI on and it just looks bad. Like these kill shots are usually bad enough without that mess.
Awesome work, team!
We just killed Amber-Shaper, putting us at 5/6 in Heart of Fear!
We didn't take a kill screenshot so here is a picture of me waving in Shek'zeer's room because I was in combat and couldn't hearth.
With much effort, Deathwing and his madness are finally down!
And all it took was for everyone to show up online at the same time with the right gear on, and a couple days of practice! The hardest part of the Madness encounter was indeed the part where you needed to pry those nasty plates off his back. Oh wait, that was the other encounter that was much harder.
Grats to Ayo on Gurthalak and Graggar for Souldrinker and a new mount! :D
Some of us also completed our metas with the kill, screenshot most likely pending the completion of everyones' =D
Although you wouldn't know it because this screenshot just looks like us on a boat.
Check out those sexy transmogs! (Except Ayo)
Dael received his orange staff earlier, bringing our legendary count to 2 :D
Grats, Dael!
Spiros got his legendary daggers!
He is the hero Azeroth deserves.
Grats, Train! =D
And then we went and downed Hagara, who we actually had practiced before, so that felt good getting that done.
And finally Ultraxion, who we would have gotten without a nerf this week anyway because you can only do so many 2% wipes before you decide to come up with a CD rotation. Or you know, you could come up with one during the kill attempt, that works, too.
Apparently he slipped and fell though, we did some spelunking and got a kill shot anyway.
Leave it to me to take a video of the most boring fight this tier.
Go read Homestuck.
As the next patch grows nearer, Reforged is looking for more raiders to fill our 10s progression group. We raid Tues - Thurs from 7 - 11 PM server (CST).
Right now we are looking for a tank that is not a bear.
If you know your class and are good at taking damage like a baws, not getting hit by brushfire, and can interrupt while tanking, feel free to apply!
Last night Reforged downed the last of the achievements needed for the Firelands meta drake bird! And boy, does it look awesome! I should know, I totally got to see mine for over 3 seconds and I assure you, they didn't 9man any of those achievements or anything.
Someone that was online should probably upload a picture 'cause I'm still wiping to the loading screen boss at 100%.
Also, Reforged is looking for a tank. One tank that is not of the DK persuasion, as we have one of those already and healing two would be a nightmare. Must be able to make all raids, hold threat, not stand in fire, work on progression, and be a generally swell guy. Apply now!
Post-nerf kills are so serious. So serious we didn't bother taking a kill shot.
Geegeegeegeebabybabybaby.
Last night Reforged squeezed in one final heroic kill before the imminent nerfs that are expected on the 19th. With great coordination and excessive AoE healing, Majordomo Staghelm is dead. Look at our awesome kill shot!
And fuck Water Shield. Seriously, what the hell Blizzard. Really? Every 4 casts? Really?
What a great week for Reforged! Against all odds, Reforged downed Alysrazor heroic on the first attempt of the night, and I'm not kidding when I say against all odds!
Not only was there someone who was still in an RP set for half the fight (until they died due to having roughly 50% of the HP required to survive the unavoidable bad things) but we had another raider playing from the bathroom of a hotel (and also, oddly enough, wearing the wrong set of gear) who managed to be d/c and miss the achievement.
That's not nearly the best part though. To save us from the inevitable wipe with two players down and ~8% to go, Dragon pulled off some amazing air stunts while the rest of us fought below struggling with interupts and adds. With Graggar picking up both birdies at the end and going down like a champ, followed by Cher pulling off one final clutch cleanse on a stray Fieroblast on Dragon in the air, Dragon took down the last 6% of the boss as the only raider alive for the most impressive wipe ever! Who would have guessed that one of our worst attempts would turn out to be the kill? :D
Here is a screenshot that, while amazing, cannot depict the epic win of the encounter:
In other news: Mars is on fire and Prinny had to check into the burn ward.
And our healers didn't even bail!
Unfortunately we do not have a screenshot of this glorious triumph, as the thought of spreading Torment to the innocents in Orgrimmar seemed much more appealing than standing by that fiery asshole's corpse.
I know, I know, without screenshots it very well may not have happened!
Then how do you explain this!?
Bolics got [Mantle of Closed Doors]!
Spiros got [Breastplate of the Incendiary Soul]!
Graggar got [Gauntlets of the Fiery Protector]!
(And Dragon got some orange things).
We'd like to thank you all, our moms, Yogg-Saron, and Beacon of Light for this victory.
Thank you, thank you. We'll be here next week.
After a night of close attempts, <Reforged> has downed Lord RHyolith on 10man heroic mode!
[Lava Line Wristbands] went to Ninetales
[Dreadfire Drape] went to Marsartemis
And grats to [Dragoñ] for getting his 25 [Eternal Ember]s!
Tonight marked Reforged's full clearing of heroic Blackwing Descent with the fall of Nefarian!
Great job, guys!
Who needs Deathwing when you can have Dargon Supersized.
Woo! After a night of treating prism traps like they were a batch of free [Ancient Amber] (And clearing trash twice before even attempting the boss!), Reforged downed Heroic Shannox 10M!
[Leggings of the Fiery Vanquisher] went to Nucleotide
[Skullstealer Greataxe] went to Nucleotide
[Bracers of the Dread Hunter] went to Cherubael
Grats, guys!
(The best boss kill screenshots don't actually include the boss in them, do they?)
On our first raid night this week we full cleared Firelands and found this awesome box!
But that's not all! The very next day we went to the Throne of the Four Winds and knocked the Winds out of it! Graggnaros claimed [Realm First! Al'akir] with Terokkar's first end-boss heroic kill! A screenshot would be included but it was much less impressive than the box we found in Firelands.
Congratulations, guys!
Reforged took Firelands head-on and ended the first week with 6/7 bosses down!
Here's a bad picture of our Baleroc kill.
Chains are the devil!
