<title>The Lich King Is No More (3 replies)</title><link>http://www.celestialdarkness.com/forum/read.php?1,5430,5430#msg-5430</link><description><![CDATA[ At long last, after weeks of cobbled-together, barely-filled raids, we have downed LK-25. If you look back at all our previous attempts, we had maybe 8 hours total of working on the guy, across attempt nights separated sometimes by a couple of weeks, which is pretty damn impressive, all things considered.<br /><br />It was an appropriately dramatic finish -- both tanks were dead when he was still at 16-17% and I had frankly given up, but a string of clutch heals, last minute taunts, bubbles, and other tricks enabled the dwindling number of survivors to push him to 10%. Truly epic.<br /><br />Hearty congratulations to everyone who was there, and everyone who helped us to get to this point. Well done, CD!<br /><br />The First Kill Roster:<br /><br />Tanks: Nikolay, Peaseblossom<br />Healers: Galadril, Sairelinde, Kromf, Brybear, Laemora, Sarkasstic, Diva<br />DPS: Firm, Laedoc, Hummer, Morgdor, Xikar, Drakeos, Darquekilla, Solm, Sledgeheart, Ensorcelled, Skeptic, Whattatwist, Delling, Vinsil, Lockstocks, Vitigis]]></description>

Next week we hope to add Putricide to the list.<br /><br />2 different raids have also downed Putricide on 10-man.]]></description>

<title>Yogg-Saron Defeated! (no replies)</title><link>http://www.celestialdarkness.com/forum/read.php?1,2341,2341#msg-2341</link><description><![CDATA[ It took us a little longer than it might have, what with clearing an entirely new raid zone and all, but we went back and killed Yogg for the first time tonight. After having seen phase 3 just once in an earlier raid, we made it back there on the first attempt, not having even done the fight in two weeks, and from there it was just working out some kinks -- we finished with a healthy buffer on the enrage timer.<br /><br />It is without a doubt the toughest fight we've seen in WOTLK. It took a lot of work and practice to get it right but we saw steady improvement each time we came back. My hat is off to all of you: great work!]]></description>

So far we've been able to clean up Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, Ignis, and X-2, and also managed to get slapped around a few times by Kologarn. Fantastic progress for five-odd hours of raiding!<br /><br />Meanwhile on 10-man folks have cleared all of the above plus Auriaya, Hodir, Thorim, Freya, and the Iron Council.]]></description>

<title>Naxxramas-25 Cleared! (no replies)</title><link>http://www.celestialdarkness.com/forum/read.php?1,660,660#msg-660</link><description><![CDATA[ So, we came back on Monday night to finish Kel'thuzad, needing a handful of puggers to close the gap. On our final attempt we were two people short, and as were grouping up to give it another go the notification came that the server was restarting in 15 minutes.<br /><br />Killed the bastard with 2m30s to spare on the server restart, with maybe 7 people still alive. In the chaos I mid-distributed some loot but mostly we were happy to get it done in time.<br /><br />Grats to everyone and thanks to those who stepped in to help out!]]></description>
