Raids

I can't explain how satisfying it is to post this update... Not because of the kill itself, but because of the incredible dedication of this guild. After several weeks of what nearly resulted in the dissolution of the guild, we pulled of a miraculous week of single shot bosses, and conquered new content with plenty of room to spare.

I'm glad to say that I now think the Cascaders are stronger psychologically than they have been in a long time.

Cascaders progression into Serpentshrine Lair is relentless. 5 days after our first kill in the instance, we down our third boss. Kudos to all, especially Nostradamus and his new Coral-Barbed Shoulderpads, and Hibernian and Matlock's new Gloves of the Vanquished Hero.

A busy week in Serpentshrine combined with some excellent play for all involved results in our 2nd server first in a week. Congratulations to Sable and Kteam on their Leggings of the Vanquished Defender and Blakhart on his World Breaker.

After a 1% pre-patch whipe, Hydross doesn't put up much of a fight after the 2.1 patch. First try of the night and we had our server first Serpentshrine lair kill. Congratulations to Warlockwoman and her new Boots of the Shifting Nightmare.

So we killed another world boss the other day. (Yeah, it took me a bit to post it. Keep yer panty hose on.)

Congrat's out to Andesite and his new Chestguard of the Fallen Hero, Corfius' new Crystalheart Pulse-Staff and Leylani on her Terror Pit Girdle.

I guess we have to wait for another content patch or another expansion for another world-boss to vanquish.

In last few weeks, Cascaders made a concerted effort to complete Naxxramas; partially for the sense of completion, partially to attain the Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian for Sable.. Not only would the staff be a server first and only, it would provide a nice express-train to Karazhan (although that need is dwindling too...).

The main 4 wings were incredibly easy going... Sapphiron was a different story. Two weeks of farming 250 frost resistance later, we had our kill...


A mere four attempts later on Kel'thuzad and we had finally completed 100% of Naxxramas and Sable attained his Staff Head of Atiesh


Too bad Blizzard saw fit to completely botch the Twin Emperors encounter in AQ to nearly 'un-doable', or Sable would have had that staff in the wee hours of Sunday morning..
