Heroic Grand Empress Shek’zeer!

NEW DEAD BOSS.

Pretty satisfying to kill this one. That is not a fun boss with all the healer stacking and potential for burst damage ruining everything.

Fortunately after some good progress last week and a few really close pulls earlier this week (and a raid canceled on Valentine’s Day… I know, right?), we were able to put it all together and kill Empress in just a few attempts tonight. Had time to familiarize ourselves with Protectors afterward, so now the race is on to see how much we can get done before 5.2 drops.

Oh, and here’s another kill shot where you can’t really see anything beyond spell effects, a tentacle, and a herd of fire cats.

Heroic Amber-Shaper Un’sok!

Twelve down, four to go.

After a few attempts at the end of last week, we spent most of our time this week hammering away at Amber-Shaper. I’m just going to personally say: NOT A FAN OF THIS FIGHT.

That said, he’s dead now so that’s pretty great. Just the Empress left in Heart of Fear now and then we’ll have two cleared raids.

Heroic Garalon and Lei Shi!

Not at the same time though. Just so we’re clear.

As mentioned in the last update, we set out to clean up Garalon after putting him off for a while. Fortunately we got Vizier out of the way early Tuesday and went into Heart of Fear fresh on Wednesday to put the dog down. (Ask Soul why he’s the “dog”. We’re still not really sure).

And with Garalon done, it was time to start working on the next boss. After a few pulls to get a feel for it Wednesday night, Thursday’s raid saw Lei Shi finished off as well. Really great week for us so far and we still have one more raid night to get ourselves acquainted with Amber Shaper.

Congrats to everybody on the two-kill week!

Heroic Imperial Vizier Zor’lok!

Late update on this one, SORRY GUYS.

Last week (January 3- basically two weeks ago at this point) we managed to kill Zor’lok after a couple nights’ work. What a mess that second phase is. After thoroughly littering the floor with skeletons, here’s the kill shot:

Up next: Killing Garalon finally (sort of put this off way too long) and then heading into the last few bosses this tier. Hopefully a new update soon.
