It has begun – Magmaw 25 Spiked

So at the start of our raid week this week, Jan 19th 2011, 25 Undying Resolution members went into Blackwing Descent and after a few attempts killed Magmaw 25. This marked our first 25 man raid evening with everyone ready for raiding and being level 85 since the launch of Cataclysm. We have and will continue to work on both 10 and 25 man content. Our normal planned schedule with be 2 nights of 25 man raiding at the start of the raid week, Wednesday and Thursdays 8:00-11:00PM Server. We will then have several continuation nights as 10 man content.

Good News Everybody!!! Another Boss Down

Our progression has picked up some steam, and we have now added another boss kill to our list of accomplishments. Our 10-man team defeated the Conclaive of Winds encounter in the Four Winds raid dungeon. Congrats everyone!

We also hit Guild Rank 11, and now have the ability to summon a Guild Chest with the Mobile banking perk!

This upcoming week, we are starting our journey into 25-man raiding, now that we finally have our 25-man team geared up and ready to roll. We will be running a 25-man raid on Wednesday this upcoming week, which everyone is excited about!

We are still looking for 1 or 2 more healers, along with a few more DPS, to fill out our raiding roster.

2 Down 10 to go! – UR Week in Review Jan 4th – Jan 10th

Undying Resolution has slain our first bosses of the Cataclysm expansion! Our first week of raiding brought us three new boss kills in 10-man raids, with our progression moving ahead at full speed!

Our first taste of purple was an item for our hunter that surprised us when it dropped from a “trash”  mob in the front hallway of Bastion of Twilight. Our luck continued when we found that our drake combination for Halfus was Scion, Time, and slate. We worked on mastering our tank swaps, moving out of fires, and our healing team worked to keep everyone alive. Due to our teamwork, we conquered Halfus Wyrmbreaker after only a few attempts!

When the Alliance gained control over Tol Barad, we were able to get a 10-man group together to venture in to conquer Pit Lord Argaloth.

Our third boss kill was Magmaw in Blackwing Descent on 10-man.  He put up a good fight, but even he did not last long against our combined might. We dodged fires, kited some adds, and pinned him down for a great kill.

We hope to conquer more content soon, with several 10-man raids scheduled for this upcoming week. Remember to sign up for raids on our calendar, and study up on boss fights!
