wednesday night i missed raid and the guild downed the first 2 chambers and killed hodir. awesome job guys…we are about a month old now and have only raided 3 weeks.

last night we downed freya and then attempted thorim. i think it took 3 attempts on him. last week our attempt on him was piss poor and we lacked the dps needed and missed him by 4million health. this week though we did not have that issue and downed him pretty easily. the only way we wiped was the group that went into the tunnel, dying.
the beginning you just kill the pat in the middle of the room and then some chick start babbling about how we come to kill thorim and he needs to destroy us, bla bla bla.
you need to have 2 groups, one group to go into a tunnel, a gauntlet type thing. 2 tanks, 2 healers and about 6 or 7 ranged dps. i for one have not been there so i was not paying attention as to what you need to do. the other group, the one i was in, stays behind in the room and the tank just picks up the adds that pop up all the time and the dps just kill them off. it gets pretty intense after a while. once the gauntlet group has finished killing mini bosses and finished the gauntlet they come back to where we are and phase 3 starts. this is pretty hectic as there is this lightning arc he does which does insane damage, the poor melee dps has to be moving most of the time to avoid dying, healers have an insane job, as phase 2 is intense too and half way in phase 3 some of the healers go oom. well that happened last week but this week i had mana regen pots and mana regen food so that helped me tons!
was good to see thorim downed so easily. i got my first ulduar loots. T8 helm *bounce*
we decided to give mimiron a try. wow, what a fight he is. managed to see 3 of his 4 phases. but i’ll write up about it when we down him.

monday: mimiron
