Last Tuesday marked a moment in history for my guild Exiled Legion and my server Doomhammer. Short history lesson being that there have always been 2 hardcore progression on Doomhammer, Drow and Singularity. Drow being a top 100 guild who clears everything and Singularity resting at 2, clearing most content due to their 20 hour a week raid schedule. Well all that changed on Tuesday he 14th 2011 when Exiled Legion downed Heroic Nefarian and took the mantle of second on the server. This has been such a bold statement for Doomhammer, now a casual hardcore guild with a 9 hour a week raid schedule can over take a guild that just raids so much more. This all comes down to the hours of research we put in to strategies and the power of our raiders to succede against all odds. I really hope this carries over into Firelands in 4.2.
I'm not going to go too far into our strategy but it consisted of a lot of practice and it's fortunate that we never really had much a problem with cinders in phase and interrupts in ph2. Our biggest challenge was DC issues and DPS. Getting our rogues and Warlocks to apply 70% slows was clutch in increasing overall raid DPS.
Being an offspec Blood DK, I was the best choice to MT Nefarian and I have to say that was probably the most intense fight I've ever had to Tank. It's not hard by any means but it just took shear stamina and willpower to last to the end in phase 3. The fight slowly builds up but at the end I pretty much had to constantly focus on rotating Nefarian so our Add tanks could keep kiting the bone constructs and I could avoid the shadowflame. Props go out to Liltroll who made the hardest job of add tanking look easy, he was key to downing this fight. Hell props go out to everyone, the healers with their CD rotations and the DPS pushing us a few seconds passed the enrage and downing the boss.
Very Intense Fight. Here is your chance to witness the madness.
