Flex them Muscles... or Raids.

It was a pretty good week for us.  We got to punch some bosses in the face, and we got some loot!


      Tuesday night, we got a flex team together and in short order we took down Immersious.  We moved on to the Protectors of the vale, and after a few attempts we managed to get them down instead.  The team took a bit of time on trash, and finally we got too Norushan, and that is where we ended the night.  We managed a pull before we were out of time, and then we called it until Wednesday.  That pull we got him down to 30% on, so it was a good pull too! 

      The next night (Wednesday) we started on the third boss, and after the first pull, we brought in one of our wayward sons (Khallon) and he brought 3 or 4 of his friends from Exile over.  It was nice to have them with us.  We managed to down Norushan and then the Sha of Pride before 10:30.

      We then queued up for the second flex raid section.  By the time we downed the trash, we only managed two pulls on the first fight, but on the second pull we got to the point of clearing the second tower.  Meaning, we made decent progress for the night, and did well for a fight that we walked into without any other prior information other then what we have seen in Raid Finder for a few of us.

      I am enjoying the flex raid system.  The downside I am seeing to it is that by the time I get a group together, it can be fifteen minutes plus into raid before we get moving.  Wednesday night we only had two pulls into Norushan before 10 before getting people pulled into the raid etc...  If we had started right on time, there is a chance, I think, we may have even downed the first fight (Galakras) in the next section of Flex raid.

      Good job to the raiders who came this week and lit things up.  I know that this is easier then ten man, but right now with part of the raid team in flux this has been perfect for us.  I enjoy the fact we can bring more then 10 people.  I enjoy the face I can bring people without worrying that it will be a wipefest for the night.  I look forward to getting to a point, where we can focus on regular ten man again, and I think Flex will help us build to that point.

      I would also like to give a shout out to Kedec who has recently joined the guild, and volunteered to run some raids into ToT so we can focus completely on SoO.  This will be a great boon to raiding in this guild, and I hope people give him the support he needs to get things running.



Anyway it was a good week, and I will see you all in game.
