That is right! After months of working on this, putting in the blood, sweat and tears (that was lym sobbing in the background) OSW has had its first kill of LK. This kill is the result of all our raiding guildies putting in the effort to learn and practice at this fight with unflagging determination. Congratulations goes out to everyone! In lieu of my normal spiel on the rundown of the fight I just want to bask in the beauty of the achievement. So without any more ado:
The Lich King
 
The happy news of the Lich King's demise means that we have opened up heroic raiding for OSW raiders! Now we are looking forward to taking a smack at the lootship pinata and several other fights that we are more than ready to tackle with the new twists ahead! So come on out to raid - summer is winding down and we are having a blast here on Zul'jin!

This week Blizz opened up The Ruby Sanctum - a new instance underneath Wyrmrest Temple. Of course that meant they locked us out of WoW for 24hrs to set it up and we missed raiding on Tuesday. I think some of our members actually went crazy to be deprived for so long, especially on our favourite raid night (and no Lym, you can't blame Blizz for being certifiable since your type of crazy was pre-existing!).
Excited to try out new fights, Ruby Sanctum was high on the list of OSW priorities. Despite rumours to the contrary the trash was pretty easy and the mini bosses were badge pinatas. Killing Halion's three lieutenants Baltharus the Warborn, General Zarithrian, and Saviana Ragefire caused the big purple dragon to spawn in the middle of the instance. Halion was a trickier fight for us to grapple with, made up of 3 phases each with their own unique challenges.
Phase 1 called on raiders to dance around meteor strikes that caused Marrowgar-esque X's of flames and running around dropping void zones all while dealing with standard dragon abilities (that tail lash is a pita!).
Phase 2 had us going to Halion's shadow realm where the biggest issue was a deadly beam that cross-sectioned the raid and rotated around the center of the dragon. After some trial, error, and ingenious ideas from the raiders we managed to co-ordinate ourselves in this intense movement based phase.
Phase 3 had us splitting our forces between actual and shadow realms while still dealing with all the previous abilities from P1&2. The added difficulty came with matching our dps in both realms - if either realm's dps outperformed the other Halion would start hitting like a truck in the opposite realm.
A hard night's work was spent refining our strategy but success was ours!
Halion the Twilight Destroyer
In the late news category, I forgot to post the kill shot of Sindragosa. As this is another fight I have yet to see I can't tell you much about it but that it opened up our access to bash on the Lich King. We haven't got him down yet but we are still working on it!
Sindragosa
We are in full summer-OSW mode now - balancing summer playtime with WoW time. The raiding force is still going strong so come on out and join us - you know you miss us as much as we miss you!

That is right. I've been digging through my backlog of screen shots looking for our Festergut killshot and it doesn't seem to be there. If there is anyone else that took a few pics after we downed that mob I'd love to add it to our front page asap! This also reminds me to clear out my screen shot file of old Naxx pics - as long as I save all the incriminating evidence I've collected too ;D
At least Gabbu is on the ball and sent me some pics to give our front page a much needed update.
Professor Putricide
I've had a few cracks at this boss myself and I must say it really keeps you on your toes. Between dodging poison vials and being chased by oozes, the most amusing part is watching V8 become an abomb and gobble up the puddles of green goo - he took to it so naturally!
Blood Princes
Blood Princes is a fight I haven't yet tried my hand at but after a night of working on the strat my OSW guildies had no problem downing this group.
Besides downing new bosses last week we had an incredible raid week - 3 out of 5 days we have a solid group of 25 raiders ready and willing at raid-call to push our progress in ICC. That dedication paid off with a Festergut kill (I promise it happened, I have 24 other witnesses!) and coming very close to Rotface going down right behind him. So, keep on coming out to raid and be a part of the glory of the 25man killshot!
PS: As for the missing killshot.... I blame Lym!

Um, I mean Deathbringer Saurfang! >.<
After the last few weeks of clearing ICC easily to this fight we had our first successful kill. Grappling with blood boils hitting melee and refining our strategies with the hounds coupled with everyone bringing their A game lead us to this sweet victory. We even had the time to kill both puppies and have a few cracks at Rotface. Given our great turnouts lately to raid you can bet it won't be long until my next update!
Saurfang
So see you at raid - I know a few really ugly guys in Plagueworks that are dying to make our front page!

It has been a very busy and productive week for OSW. Not only were we taking on ICC in 2 separate 10man groups, but we had a few nights where we were able to work on 25man ICC.
Lord Marrowgar has been killed by OSW a few times on 25man but I was saving up the picture-goodness for a big news bulletin (because I knew we would be cleaning out ICC and not because I'm lazy I swear)!!!
Lord Marrowgar
This week we really buckled down and concentrated on Lady Deathwhisper. Having some experience with her adds on 10man really contributed to this 25man kill.
Lady Deathwhisper
The gunship battle was a fun as ever, with more people taking to the air on rocketpacks.
Gunship Battle
We have made a lot of progress with Saurfang on 25man and OSW can expect a killshot soon! It has been great to see so many guildies turning up for raid time - keep on coming as we have more great fights to experience!!!

) and we have reduced our raiding nights by one. Now on Fridays you can strike up the barbecue and make me a margarita without missing any raiding fun. Of course our raiding force will continue strong and I expect to see you all for more OSW adventures on our other raiding nights - I need to be in a first killshot pic again so let's get to work!!!
