Yet Another Dragon Down... But So Many More Are Coming!
Deathwing's minion is dust. With Heroic Ruby Sanctum complete we've beaten the game - well done, all! While Northrend is ours, Cataclysm is fast approaching. We'll be keeping our skills sharp and our ambitions high in anticipation of the many challenges that still await us. Stay thirsty my friends.
Hell... It's About Time!
What a long, strange trip it's been! The first three and half months of our heroic Lich King progression were a marathon of '2 steps forward, 1 step back' challenges: having 3 main tanks learn the fight and then have to step away from the game for real life issues; losing fabulous healers and DPS to real life demands or progression burnout; recruiting new raiders and building their level of expertise with the fight's mechanics. These are the kinds of challenges that can and have killed many WotLK raiding guilds.
In the past few weeks everything has finally come together - the right strategy, the right team, the right quality of execution. Tonight our plucky young 10.5hr guild put the exploding shadow traps and monstrous defiles in the rear-view mirror with our first heroic Lich King 25 kill. Congratulations to all of our raiders, and huge thanks for your dedication and patience during this epic battle, made all the more epic by the extra challenges we faced along the way. Special congratulations to Spacealien, our Invincible Resto Shammy!
With heroic Lich King down, we'll soon be turning our attention to heroic Halion and finishing up ICC 25 meta mounts for everyone. To the victors go the very well deserved spoils!
Vulgrym: A Legendary Tease
Congratulations to Vulgrym, our Physical DPS Team Lead, on the completion of Temerity's second Shadowmourne! After getting 3 shards from the first 4 bosses last night, Vulgrym finally had his 50! With great excitement, we all headed downstairs to see the turn-in event and celebrate his achievement. Anticipation built as we waited. And waited. And... "Oh shoot, sorry guys! I left Shadow's Edge in my bank. BRB!" Such a tease.
This week we'll also be getting our second goody box; more to come on that soon. Even better, with Vulgrym's axe now complete, Trounce is now receiving shards and is well under way to completing our third Shadowmourne. We are currently on track to have it completed within the next two weeks. Oh, all the soul-swirling goodness!
Now Recruiting for a Balance Druid, Discipline/Holy Priest, Restoration Shaman, and exceptional DPS!
Temerity is a Top-100 US guild interested in players of the highest caliber. We raid three nights a week for a total of ten and a half hours and are very successful in achieving early kills on the hardest bosses in the game. Just check out our Progression Highlights on the left and our WoWProgress status.
We are now recruiting the specific classes noted above, as well as exceptional DPS in general. Class is less important than solid execution, blistering numbers, and stratospheric levels of raid awareness.
If you like to stand in the fire or have never killed the Lich King on 25, we aren't the guild for you. But if you've knocked over most of the Heroic ICC bosses, know your class inside out, and are excited about both downing Heroic Lich King 25 as well as whatever Cataclysm throws our way, then we encourage you to put in an application today!
Shadowmourne, Goodies, and Insanity - Oh My!
Who doesn't love a belated update?
First and foremost, congratulations to Valen on his shiny new Shadowmourne!
Because the goody box that comes with the quest completion was just too good for one person to keep, several lucky-rolling raiders also shared in the spoils. Grats to Chaotiq on Tabard of the Lightbringer, Jcmuimui on Sylvanas' Music Box, Senke on Muradin's Favor, Riggors on Jaina's Locket, and Leona on Reins of the Crimson Deathcharger.
Our Physical DPS Team Lead, Vulgrym, is currently collecting shards for our next Shadowmourne. We can't wait to pillage his box, too!
As a small side note, although we should have been able to announce our completion of A Tribute to Insanity (25 player) much much sooner, we are now finally able to do so. Congratulations to our raiders on finally shaking the 48-49 attempt remaining curse and getting the achievement that has been in our grasp since last year.
Sin No More! Temerity now 11/12!
Six pulls and the penultimate progression boss in Icecrown falls to Temerity. Not much to say about the fight -- do it right and the boss falls over! Great work, everyone. Now only one target remains -- Heroic Mode Lich King, the unholy melding of Arthas Menethil and the Orc Shaman Ner'zhul, the most epic boss in the history of World of Warcraft. The race is on!
Heroic Lady Deathwhisper Down!
The positioning of Lady Deathwhisper -- considered one of the harder Heroic modes -- proves frustrating for a guild with only a few days to raid each week. After several weeks of just a few hours of practice, last night we went in and one-shot one of the harder Heroic modes to date. Great work, everyone! Keep it up!
Great News, Everyone! Heroic Professor Putricide down!
Three nights a week isn't much. Sadly, last week we ran out of time and ended raid with a crushing 300k wipe on Heroic Putricide. This week, though, after taking care of the rest of the instance, we came back, and on our third total night of attempts, the Professor's experiments were put to an end! Great work, everyone. Next up, Lady Deathwhisper and Sindragosa!
Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10)!
After weeks of dedicated effort, Temerity is very proud to achieve server first Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10)! Tremendous effort was invested, especially on Sindragosa's All You Can Eat achievement (pre-nerf!), and it certainly paid off. Congratulations to Kihra, Stonewall, Jcmuimui, Yumii, Adorawulf, Caruga, and Trends! More to come as we achieve this for more of our raiders. Next goal: Heroic Lich King!
Fantastic work, guys!
Lich King Defeated!
After a very difficult struggle, Temerity has vanquished the Lich King in 25 man Icecrown Citadel, unlocking hard modes! Two groups also defeated the Lich King in 10 mans, paving the way for a fun week full of hard mode progression. Congratulations to everyone for their hard work and excellent accomplishment.
