Sindragosa Shrieks Her Last

A team went in on Wednesday and downed Sindragosa - finally. Phase 1 and 2 of that fight are exceedingly easy; if not for blistering cold, you could do phase 1 and 2 while watching TV. She puts up quite a fight in phase 3 however.

The Sindragosa-10 win is a first for Alliance on SoE.

Second Round of Tax Taken

The second round of tax has been taken out. Members will notice the DKP numbers will be closer to 0. High DKP will go down, DKP below 0 will actually go up a bit. This process will continue over the next three weeks. When done, the top people will likely have less than 200 DKP.

Change Up For Tuesday's PROGRESSION Run

Originally, we were going to reuse a raid ID for the PROGRESSION run this week. We will start a fresh ID for it instead. In order to maximize our time, we will start clearing trash with a skeleton crew at 6:30. If you cannot be on by then, that's okay - we will start clearing with whatever we have.

Dreamwalker Rescued in Ten Man

A team went in on Sunday and rescued Dreamwalker from Arthas' minions. The team went on to Sindragosa - consistently getting her into phase 3, but could never quite seal the deal. Perhaps next week.

The Dreamwalker-10 win is a first for Alliance on SoE.

CoD is Recruiting a Few Healers

We are looking for a few healers for our ICC-10 teams. While we tend to have enough DPS and tanks, we do run shy on healers now and then.

Applicants need to be "Mature, Friendly, Polite" - no need to apply if you do not meet those criteria. Beyond that, applicants need to be skilled enough to heal ICC-10. If you are short a piece of gear here and there, we will certainly help with that. But you should be comfortable with healing in a raid environment, not standing in fire, using add-ons like Healbot or Grid-Clique, etc.

Due to our lineup, applicants might not see any ICC-25 action for a while. Our teams our fairly full there. As our roster changes, skilled healers will certainly be slotted to ICC-25 raids. But that may not be for several weeks or even a couple of months. So, if you absolutely must get into ICC-25 immediately, you probably should not apply.

If you meet the criteria and are interested, please hit the 'Apply to Guild' link over on the left hand menu.

Monday's PROGRESSION Run Sign Ups Look Good

Tonight's PROGRESSION run will be against Lady Deathwhisper and beyond. As a PROGRESSION run, we will slot the best possible team. Signups look good across the board.

Please note that we scheduled this event to start at 7:00 server time. We will start clearing the trash with a partial crew to accommodate a few people that will not be available until 7:30.

CoD Downs Heroic Anub'arak-10 with 47 Tries Remaining

A team downed Heroic Anub'arak-10 on Sunday with 47 attempts still available; thus snagging A Tribute to Mad Skill.

The team wiped once on Northrend Beasts, just to start the night off right. They followed that up with two wipes on Anub'arak, one of them deep in phase 3. The third time was the charm, though the actual kill was a bit ugly and involved Squelchy evasion tanking at the end.

This puts CoD as the only Alliance guild on SoE with that achievement. While there were only 10 people on the team, just about every raiding member in CoD has helped out in some way. All of CoD's raiders chipped in at some point to earn the regular CC gear that the team wore. The team's strategies were built on the efforts of many people's attempts. Everyone should take some measure of pride in being a part of the accomplishment.

Anub'arak puts up quite a fight. I look forward to seeing more Dragons take a shot at him on Heroic.
