Tuesday night, my guild went into SSC for a week’s worth of concentrating on content in there. Since we added SSC to the raid lineup, we’d been doing 2 nights of SSC and one night of Gruul’s. But Tidewalker was becoming a pain in everyone’s butt, so the officers decided we’d concentrate on SSC alone this week, and put Gruul’s to an “every other week” run.

We had a bit of a rough start on Hydross, but managed to down Lurker in the cleanest one-shot kill we’ve had in a long time before the end of the night’s raid time. Last night, everyone piled online before raid time, since Doomhammer seems to have redeveloped queues (gag), lined up, and ran into SSC to start in on Tidewalker’s trash. We had a moment right at the beginning with the first group of Naga and wiping on it (Raid Leaders: “…wtf? Okay, who’s breaking the sheep?! And fire is bad! Don’t stand in it! There’s no candy in the fire!”), but things settled down after that.

There was a giggle-worthy moment for me when the last group of nagas, ones with a lovely knockback, was pulled. Normally I’m pretty situationally aware. That time? One step to the left, and I’m watching myself drop into the water, cos I fell through the crack between a platform and the ramp leading to it. At least I knew where the ramp up from the water was. I heard one of the Raid Leaders saying “I can’t get LoS on Siana.” They started laughing when I replied “That’s cos Sia’s a goober and stepped off the ramp.” Note to self: when Tidewalker dies, go back into SSC and explore the ramps leading to him to ensure no more missteps.

The good news is we did find out that an early aggro of Tidewalker via someone sacrificing themselves will kill off a wandering pack of Murlocs, the old formation of the raid we’d had was working nicely, and that we’ll be smacking him down Friday night. Last weekend, they’d gotten him down to 51% before calling the raid. Last night? 25%. The Raid Leaders were very pleased and everyone was celebrating pretty hard at how well we’d done. I sense Friday night, everyone will be logging on in a very bloodthirsty mood. ::grin::

So hopefully, I’ll be posting a nice kill shot of TAG standing in front of Tidewalker very soon. Here’s hoping! Tonight? ZA!
