Not even Nirav's beloved New Jersey Devils could keep him distracted enough from helping us achieve this victory!


Last night, the Old Guard protected the Skyfire from Warmaster Blackhorn 25H assault.  We are now 6/8 in heroic Dragon Soul.  We were surprised we got this encounter down relatively quickly compared to the other heroic fights in this instance.   We'll take it and won't complain!

Only one foe remains for us (though it takes two encounters to get him down!)  As Sky Captain Swayze announces before the start of the next encounter, "Little hand says it's time to rock and roll! Everyone into the hole, we've got a dragon to kill!"

Warm weather is always tough on raids and chewing on progression content for months on end can be a bit wearing.  Sometimes we just need to tackle something else to change things up.


One such night we repaid a visit to Blackwing Descent with our raid to see with what we could get away with since most of us don't quite remember the fights in there on heroic modes.  It turned out pretty well.  In addition to temporarily receiving probably the greatest title this game has to offer, we knocked off every boss save Nefarian in heroic so our members who weren't with us at the beginning of last year could receive the achievements.  Didn't quite get Nefarian down though...  It requires a bit more coordination on our part that we weren't willing to deal with that evening.  We'll leave that instance locked though for the next night we need a changeup...

Tonight, the Old Guard and the 11th Hour joined forces on an off night for some shenanigans to take on the Horde leaders.  Though we only got Garrosh Hellscream to about 63% before we were overrun by Horde defenders, we did manage to take down Sylvanas Windrunner, Baine Bloodhoof and Lor'themar Theron.  The Horde Warchief won this round but we will be back!!

xx Ping Pong With Tentacles

Tentacles, the swiss army knife of single DPS targeting and naughty jokes, seem to make a regular appearance in WoW as of late.  It is sorta like waiting for the inevitable Troll content to arrive in a patch midway through an expansion.  Will it be the last we see of these grasping, restraining, wiggling, pushing, pulling, writhing, defiling, groping limbs that gets Seven paying attention?


Last night, the Old Guard managed to fully clear the Siege of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragon Soul by defeating Warlord Zon'ozz 25H.  This bring us to 5/8 in heroic Dragon Soul with the end goal in sight.  The fight was a matter of learning to play ping pong without the orb shooting off at an odd angle and going through phase 2 transitions twice without deaths.  Once that was accomplished, it was a simple matter to string together three phase 2 transitions and the final burn on the fourth.  Next up, joining Sky Captain Swayze aboard the Skyfire to tackle Warmaster Blackhorn.

25 man raid teams are becoming a rare sight on Earthen Ring as of late but we are still focusing on them and living up to our namesake.  It just feels like a grander accomplishment to get 25 individuals working as a team to take down a new encounter.  It is just not the coordination effort but also the logistics and management challenges we enjoy tackling.  It does take a good amount of work in and out of raids to get it done, but we will continue with 25 mans for as long as Blizzard or the server raider population allows it.


Last night, the Old Guard managed to defeat the healer's bane Yor'sahj the Unsleeping 25H.  This brings our guild to 4/8H in 25 DS.  It was one of our cleanest kills in quite some time...  One of those fights you knew at 50% health it was going down with a whimper (and a minute 44 to spare).  Major kudos to the healers for figuring out a difficult healing challenge and holding back on some of those key-bindings.  We can put all the pressure on DPS for the next one!
