Naxxramus: Almost Ours!!!
All that was left were two very powerful enemies, waiting for us at the frozen heart of the necropolis. And met that challenge we did.
The great frost wyrm, Sapphiron, proved a great challenge for us. His icy might was great indeed, and he sent us back to the graveyards and laughed in our faces on more than one occasion, which was expected since this was the first time we have ever faced him as a guild. But his joy was soon cut short and we brought the great wyrm down in a clattering heap. Voodoo Reborn, on its first time every facing against Sapphiron, emerged victorious.
Sadly, it was not meant to be against Kel'Thuzad, and after a few tries it was he who had the last laugh. But for our first time against him we did awesomely by getting him down to a third of his health. That's fantastic, boys and girls, especially since most of us have never seen either Sapph or Kel'Thuzad before last night. It really does prove that Voodoo Reborn, even though we are not a hard core raiding guild, is filled with people who are every bit as awesome as anyone you would find in those other guilds. It makes me proud that I'm a part of VR.
Kel'Thuzad might have lived and sent us packing last night, but he's scared. I mean, he's literally freaking the f*** out right now, because he knows we're coming back for him, and when we do it will mark the end of Kel'Thuzad.
Lok'tar Ogar, Voodoo Reborn!

Construct Quarter: Conquered, Thadius: Spanked
Oh I'm kicking myself for forgetting to get an actual screenshot of it last night, but I was so busy in the throws of excitement that it slipped my mind. Here's a picture of us standing over Gluth though, I hope that's enough. A missing screenshot can't take away our victory though. ;)Last night, Voodooo Reborn conquered the last of the four quarters of Naxxaramas by taking down Thadius. I strongly consider the Construct Quarter to be the toughest of the four Naxx wings. I think that is actually Captain Obvious at work, judging by the fact that it has four bosses instead of three, and even the very first one, Patchwork, is a huge gear check for would be raiders. After him it's the same gear, but massive amounts of coordination with raid members to get those bosses down.
As mentioned, Patchwork went down like a bitch. We had the dps to burn him down once and maybe even ask for seconds later. After that, it was time for the big, gooey boy known as Globulous to go down. Now, for me, there is always that one boss that seems to create problems no matter how many times you take him on. In Karazahn, it was always Morose that had me pulling my hair out. In Naxx, it was Glob, and after a couple tries where I was dying and thinking "WTF!?!?", we got him down as well.
Next came Gluth, the giant zombie dog, and the farthest VR has gotten within Construct Quarter thus far. This guy is a pain, because you have to be able to control all those lesser zombie adds as well as worry about Gluth himself. Zombie Chow is what their called, because if they get too close to Gluth, he eats them and gets health back, and then its game over. Last night, not a single zombie was made into a milk bone, and Gluth got put down hard. Great job guys!
And last, finally, came Thadius, who most of us were facing for the very first time. There is a lot to learn for this fight. His two guardians, Feugen and Stalagg, constantly watch over the central, giant refugee from a Frankenstein type B horror movie. Not only did they have to get taken down, but they had to die within a few seconds of each other. They themselves took a couple tries, but if anything we in Voodoo Reborn are stubborn assholes, so they fell like a man hammer and then it was Thadius's turn.
Polarity. Positive and negative. Thadius gives them new meaning along with the word "positioning", and here I am very thankful of my DeadlyBossMods addon to help with that stuff. A positive standing next to a negative is bad, but two positives standing next to each other equals more ass kicking. After a couple tries on getting that down, we prevailed. We dropped Thadius like it's hot and there was much rejoicing afterwards.
You know, I honestly did not expect us to take down Thadius last night. Really, I didn't, but like I said we're stubborn. We learn from our mistakes, and though it make us two or three tries, or maybe even ten tries, we eventually win. When we do, we're going to poke you in the eye with sticks, tea-bag you, and spent many moments laughing mockingly at you. We're just like that. ;)
Tonight we go back and finish things off! Though we have taken it down before (well, they have since I wasn't there when it happened), Military Quarter and the Four Horsemen are waiting for us. Once we take them down, all that's left is Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad. I'm not expecting we'll get to take them down tomorrow night, but if we could at least open that door for the first time, poke our heads in and say "Hi, how are ya?!" then I will be most gracious.
We've done a huge step of progress last night all, so even if we do take on Sapph and get thoroughly spanked, we still have a lot to be proud of. It's only a matter of time before those two get kicked in the jimmies, Voodoo Reborn style.
Last night's Raid:
Caemon - DPS Pallie and raidleader
Talelith - Mage

Valeste - Heal Pallie
Saulice - Warrior, main tank
