Has anyone tried raiding yet?

My guild went BT last night to begin clearing the farm bosses...

Well... we ninja-pulled Naj on a trash pull and STILL slammed him down in under 2 min :eek:

Like-wise we wtf-pwned through Supremus, Teron, Bloodboil and Akama, one-shotting. These are most of the easy bosses, but... o m g we just flat nuked and healed np.

Since we reached in 1 night what usually takes us 3, we thought we would pay RoS a visit, even tho the 2-faced biatch has been the bane of our raids for sometime now. With 2 of 3 tanks who had never seen the fight before, and who managed to drag a full set of ghosts into Phase 1 cos they didnt keep moving... we one-shotted her too!! :cool:

All this before 11pm o_O So we thought, well lets look at Mother and see what we r in for. The guild has been holding out on Hearts so that we had enough for all to craft our res gear, and only a select few have had some pieces made... so no one had res gear beyond our cloaks and necks...

Ok, so we didnt one-shot her, but we did get her the second time. The slinky biatch had no pala token either /cry but we were just happy that she died :D

So onward tonight to Illidari Council and hopefully Illiadan! :eek:

Anyway... after this whole long story... anyone else having a raid nuke time? I mean is this seriously OP or what??? I love my new spells and I'm still getting the hang of a few things (mostly due to addon issues) but threat, healing and damage are through the roof, nm the nerf to the bosses being factored in to it all...

I'm just interested to see if anyone else had similar thoughts
 
We were wiping on Muru for the last 3 weeks, coming up 5% short of phase2 at best.

Last night 2nd attempt we killed him...

The patch actually destroyed the epicness of pve for me. I loved that Sunwell was hard as nails :-(
 
Full sunwell clear in just over 2 hours. Blizz went overboard with the nerfs... stupidly overboard.

Brutallus down with 3 and a half minutes spare before enrage...

Nerfing stuff to this point, makes it no accomplishment to down any bosses sadly.

Vey selfish and short sighted of you. They nerfed the instances so more people could experience the content before and after WOTLK. They didnt nerf it for the hardcore raiders. Gear is basically a non factor now aswell because in less than 1 month people will be getting gear surpassable to what is currently available.
 
I could say the same thing about your opinion Dyanamo.

Think about those guilds one or two bosses short of clearing SWP before the nerf. Is it not selfish for people to demand seeing fights on easymode when it destroys the accomplishment of those who fought to beat the game on normal?
 
So you would rather please the 2 or 3 guilds per server with accomplishments that will mean NOTHING in the next few weeks than 95% of the wow player base who would otherwise not get the opertunity to see the boss let alone defeat him especially when the content is never likely to get played again?
 
I agree with dyanamo's view completely. Atleast this way it is encouraging people to raid instead of just arbing around. It will generate more interest in the game, which is always a good thing.
 
dyanamo - No its not very short sighted imo.

In my personal capacity, I never got to experience the four horsemen + Final boss of Naxx pre expansion. Why ? Because we did'nt make it.
Do I feel bad for not seeing it ? Not at all, and I really admire the guilds that made a full Naxx clear, because damn they earned their stripes. Naxx imo was the hardest instance ever.

The whole running out of time before the expansion should be a driving factor for guilds to beat the game. Not make it easy to the point where you can clear the hardest instance in the game in 2 hours. Come on... you can honestly not tell me you will feel that rush of excitement if you kill a boss like brutallus now with all the insane nerfs. If they wanted to make things easier, they already did it, by boosting entire raid dps + raid buffs, but to top it, they nerfed all HP by 30 %.

The whole excuse of not seeing content is lame anyway, nothing is stopping you from going back to SWP once you are level 80 and then go back and kill the bosses. You get to see all the bosses, and then you can also say, been there, done that.

This is blizzards way of preventing ppl from stopping playing before the expansion hits. Same way they opened up HWL weapons + armor before TBC. Give away insane gear for minimal effort.

Oh well, thats just how I see it, and everyone is free to their own opinion. :)
 
Well, last night we cleared MC in about an hour :P (plus about half an hour of waiting for water...)

Sucked big time for me tho, went destro, which focuses on.... FIRE... in MC... Guess how that went for me :/
 
Blizzard have already said that they expected to make further "adjustements".

Anyway. lvl 70 raid content will be so...yesterday in a few weeks time. Bring on Northrend

Indeed, do someone here still remember how hard Onyxia was when she was released? The best guilds in the world wiped on her for weeks... We 2 manned her this afternoon....
Really toning down instances to nothingness 3 weeks before the expansion is really nothing. Most hardcore guilds have stopped raiding anyway, and if others dont go visit them now these instances will be lost. Like MC, BWL, AQ40, Nax etc that are deserted at the moment...

Pornolio and the other raiderers here, we should start focussing on the next challenge now, and not bicker over what could have been. We knew this patch was to nerf raid bosses by 30% and if you did not clear Sunwell before Wednesday you have failed to complete TBC content as it was ment to be, tough luck. I only cleared Nax during TBC, but it was still worth it for me.

Kaching! It's all about cash and business and keeping the majority of their client base happy.
