A12 Savage finally down! After some trouble with the final phase, we managed a really clean kill in the end. We’ll move on the the new primal now, and A8s!
A11S Kill
Another raid boss down, one more to go!
Unfortunately Rael was away for the first kill, but we had a guest appearance from the one and only Nhagi, who stepping in as MCH. Hope his raid group wasn’t too mad.
The video of the first kill unfortunately didn’t record since my Shadowplay broke and needed reinstalling. I took the opportunity to downgrade to version 2.x rather than stick with the horrible new interface of the newer version. The video below is of the second kill a few days later with the full raid group. On to A12s!
A10S Down
Another raid boss killed!
Patch 3.4
New patch dropped with some exciting content! We have GC squadrons, apartments, aquariums, new Alexander raids, and a new Primal. Updating a little late, so we already have A9S and Sophia Ex down. Here’s the screenshots and videos!
A7S Down
Finally manged to down A7S last night, after having a number of incomplete raid weeks and having to recruit new members. We had quite a few try hitting the enrage time, so we just need to bring along a little more DPS, and it seems like we did. Hopefully we can improve further in the coming weeks. On to A8S!
A7S Progress
Some good progress on A7S last night. reaching merry-go-round multiple times, and passing it once to hit our best try of 20% in 9min15s. As requested by Midget, here’s what you all look like:
Patch 3.3 Update
Well, the new patch has hit with a bang! We’ve had to make a few adjustments in the raid team since we lost a few players for various reasons. Hopefully the new players we have on trial will do well.
With the release of the new extreme trial, the raid group will focus on getting that down and farming for weapons. I was hoping to start that on Thursday this week, but we may need to wait until Sunday if whole group hasn’t had time to unlock it yet.
The Weeping City of Mhach is pretty tough for a 24 man raid. Important to get a clear each week to get a gobtwine to upgrade left side gear, so try not to leave it last minute since it can be quite difficult. You can also get upgrade items from hunts now. 500 seals to get an unstained clan log, and 4 logs for and accessory upgrade and 6 for left side gear.
Izora and I managed to buy a couple of small houses in Mist ward 9, plots 51 and 53, feel free to come and visit!
A6S Down!
Finally managed to finish off Vortexer tonight. We had a few decent tries, getting it down to 5% and 10%, before the last try buff kicked in, and we cleared it with 25 seconds left on enrage. Sadly, my recording software (Shadowplay) decided to throw a fit, and didn’t save the kill video, and a couple of people left the instance before the screenshot.

3.26 Patch notes – A6S nerf
[3.0] The following adjustments have been made to ease the difficulty of Alexander – The Cuff of the Son (Savage):
– Blaster
The number of mines deployed by Hidden Minefield has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Blaster Mirage’s Supercharge has been reduced.– Brawler
Damage dealt by Power Plasma Beta’s Ultra Power Plasma has been reduced.– Swindler
Midan Gunner’s HP has been reduced.– Vortexer
Vortexer’s HP has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Crashing Thunder and Crashing Wave has been reduced.
Blaster changes won’t make that much difference. It means that I will be able to pop the mine (if there is only one of them now) and move into position faster, so there will be less RNG on getting bad mines and charges going through the center. Should also make it easier on the healers as well.
Brawler changes mean that tank will be taking a little less damage during the orb phase. Depending on how much less it means that we might be able to take them with a magic stack on us, reducing the need for me to use hallowed ground there.
Swindler changes are great for us since we are currently wiping on the snipers because we haven’t been killing them fast enough. hopefully now we can kill them before they get off a second shot.
Vortexer seems like a straight up nerf, will help with killing it when we get there.
All in all, its a shame we haven’t cleared it “pre-nerf”, but I think we will definitely be more consistent on getting to Swindler and beyond now.
New A6S Guide
Death and Taxes just posted a guide for A6S. I’ve updated the resources page with it.
