Fifth Sin has begun mythic progression in Tomb of Sargeras with our first kill on mythic Goroth tonight. After a bit of tactics adjustment and steady progress we killed the boss pretty quickly. Screen-shot to follow. Well done to everybody. Especially Tharkun who bravely sacrificed himself to Rngjesus for the sake of our kill!

After a few good attempts we killed heroic Kil'jaeden tonight, a really good performance from everyone and a fun fight, once we learned how to stand in the fire, (is this right?!?).

Now on to mythic progression with heroic farming to gear up continuing.

And so our second week of raiding ToS is over. We continued our now longstanding trend of clearing everything done the previous week in one evening on Wednesday. Then on Monday we spent the first 1/3 of the raid on mythic Goroth as we wanted to test out mettle vs the first mythic boss. We only set aside one hour for this, and while in term of progression it might not have been the best choice, as that was not enough to get it down for us, it was fun to see where we stand. Given a little bit more time for people to get more comfortable with the fight and it should go down, perhaps if we had spent the whole evening on it it would have.

However that was not an option for us as the main focus of the evening was heroic Fallen Avatar of Sargeras, being the dps check of the instance we did struggle a little bit to hit the target initially, but after adjusting a little bit we soon hit the mark and then took about 3 attempts to get the second phase under control. I believe we killed it on the 9th attempt, it is a fairly long boss so each attempt eats up a good 10 minutes before you are ready to go again. After we got it down we did have some time to spare but not enough to make any meaningful progress on the last boss. So we opted for ending a tad early, none of the bosses are going anywhere after all Well done everyone on the kill!

First week of ToS being open and we managed 7/9 HC, something we are quite happy with. We went back to finnish of the maiden with the fondness for balls in an extra raid last night as we got her to 1% at the end of our thursday raid. We also spent some time on Avatar of Sargeras as we figured we might as well when we had already convened for an extra raid.

ToS so far looks interesting, nice gradual increase in difficulty, could have done with some teleports aroun the place but other than that so far so good Well done everyone!

For anyone interested in joining us we do have a few spots we could consider, contact Goonier, myself or one of the other officers for a chat if you think you would like to be in Fifth SIn.

Mythic Star Augur Etraeus was a truly fun experience, such a good boss on mythic compared to how it is on heroic and normal. We had some of our best raids in a row while working on this boss. The focus was right where it needed to be, without it feeling tiresome and like we were getting stuck, even after we were getting into the high 10s of attempts. I think it took us 101 goes or something along those lines to get it down, with several VERY close calls before finally we killed it just as the etire raid blew up, in what has to be one of our most fun boss kills! Well done everyone and thank you for an excellent raid, and for all the fun times in NH! Next week we move onwards to ToS!
