On Friday, we cleared two complete quarters, the Arachnid Quarter and the Plague Quarter. Clearing both quarters in one night was a guild-first for us. We were pumped to be able to come back in the next night and try some new content; we've never gotten past those two, even though we've tried the first boss in the other two quarters before.
On Saturday we came back in and completely cleared the Military Quarter, one-shotting both Gothik the Harvester and The Four Horsemen. Then we moved on to the Construct Quarter and one-shotted Patchwerk and Grobbulus. At that point, it was getting late, and we only had one shot at Gluth, which wiped us.
Gluth is a tough fight, requiring a skilled and experienced kiter, and proper positioning from all of the raid. I wasn't upset at wiping on Gluth, I actually expected it.
I'm the raid leader, loot master, and Hunter class leader for NEVERMORE, so I'm really pleased at the progress we've made in Naxxramas in three weeks. Our looting system is starting to shine, and many people in the guild are coming away from the raids with new epic gear. I did some research in late December and decided that I wanted to go with EPGP for our loot distribution. I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out.
Some of the things I'd like to talk about in future blog posts:
- Things I've learned about being a raid leader
- Things I've learned about being a loot master
- Details about how EPGP works
- My thoughts on the current state of the Hunter
- How to use WoWWebStats to analyze your performance
- How to use the Elitistjerks Hunter DPS spreadsheet to analyze gear and shot rotations
I actually don't think anyone reads this blog at the moment, so I'm unsure of how to proceed. For now I'll just post thoughts as I think of them. Perhaps someone who cares can reply to this with some ideas and I'll post about that.
For now, though, thanks for reading. I'll keep writing.
