After some frustrations earlier in the year it was decided that the new era of HOs prog raiding would start with the annihilation of Ultraxion on heroic difficulty. On heroic, the fight is much the same as normal but with a much higher dps requirement (even since being nerfed) and with more players needing to be able to take being smacked in the chops by Ultraxion’s Hour of Twilight. As preparation for this second new aspect of the fight, we practised at using dpsers to take Hour of Twilight by gaining the [http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=6084/minutes-to-midnight] achievement.

Good news!

Thanks to Dokx we have now been resubscribed to our mumbles voice server for another 12 months!!

Yipee.

These services don't come for free, and it is very very decent of Jim to put his hand in his pocket to keep us all chatting.

So next time you see him in game, throw Dokx a /salute.

Over and Out.

Hi all.

After 6 months of raiding Firelands Heroic Outcasts have completed the legendary staff [Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest]

I would like to thank the guild for the effort and dedication in obtaining this staff for my mage Tureil

For those that missed the completion in Stormwind here are a few screenies of the event and the dragon mount

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU FILTHY HO'S

Hi all.
On a cold dreary sunday evening with nothing much to do,12 intrepid level one gnomes dressed in there xmas cossies braved the daring HO xmas gnome run.At the start all where given a costume and told there dangerous route,run to SW gates to trade Fliz or myself for there first xmas pressie then a mad dash to Scarlet Monastry to detemine the 1st 2nd and 3rd prize winners.
And oh boy was it fun,watching death after death of these tiny brave gnomes,and suprisingly very close at the front also.

Yep our 2nd week in Dragonsoul and we are now 6/8,Warmaster Blackhorn is no moreAnother fight that takes place on a gunship,but this time we had to work for our loot,unlike the faceroll of the gunship battle in ICC.Lots of adds lots of movemant and lots of target switching,and just for a change blizzard made us stand IN stuff and not out of it.

DEATHWING your next.

Well the bosses are going down thick and fast in DragonSoul raid.(although they are starting to get a wee bit harder).

Ultraxion has a 6 min enrage timer,with huge dps and aoe healing required,a fight not for the feint hearted as full focus and concentration is required.
After a few attempts with the basic tactics,and pressing our pop up buttons to exit the fight at the correct time,the big bad dragon hit the dust with 6 seconds to spare before enrage,we hope to improve on this time as the weeks go by.

Grtz to Ambrosia on his Teir 13 chest.And to HB for his healing offhand.

Well things are going well with the raiding and another 2 bosses have felt the wrath of the HO,s.Yor'sahj the unsleeping and Hagara the storm binder have bit the dust.
It all seems a bit easy at the mo,watch this space for more boss downings:)

Well the new raid is finally here Dragon Soul.So off we went to plunder the frozen wastes to see how we could do.
Morchok was our first target and he got 1 shot ( ive seen more tactics used on a dungeon boss,blizzard are slacking).But gratz to Tureil on the caster ring drop.
Our 2nd target was Warlord Zon'ozz,a somewhat harder boss than the first but once tactics and movement was practiced for a while he went down with ease.Grtz to HB on the first piece of teir gear in the guild,some rather sexy healers gloves.
Keep up the great work raiders.

AND CASH PRIZES.

The destination of the run will be announced at the start of the run.a few simple rules apply.

Well we done it,ragnaros is dead and Heroic Outcasts raiders are now 7/7.
Its been just over 4 weeks since our last boss downing,and those 4 weeks have been spent practicing on the Lord of the Firerealm himself.
Its a 3 phase fight with 2 awkward transition stages,loads of movement and dont step in the crap moments everywhere!!
With the stupid "nerf bat" incoming on the 21st we wanted him dead so a determined and pumped up team entered on monday night,after all the practice we had had we where confident of a kill.

A couple of months ago the competition began.

Kulthia, 0 to 85, how much gold will she ding with?

Well the time has finally arrived for the winner to be announced.

The guesses were varied, and covered a vast spread.

Some were particularly weak.... 4k Vic!! Shame on you.
Some were particularly heavy... 22k Big Jake!! Cheers mate, I wish it was.

Anyway, with no further ado, in reverse order (yes I've done the maths!!) the winner is:

Branch of Nordrassil

Tureil (with some help from some hardcore HOs) has managed to get the first quest reward from the Firelands Dragonwrath (Legendary Staff) Quest line!

It involved kicking in some random boss for him and took a couple of goes but worked out great. Click the story to see an awesome pic of Tureil! He ended up with [Branch of Nordrassil]!

Well here we go again.Only 5 days ago he we downed a new boss in the Firelands.And we have done it again.Heroic Outcasts are now officially 6/7 in T12 content.And Majordomo Staghelm is dead.
We are starting to whip through the eirst 4 bosses pretty quick now and with the downing of Alyrazor on thursday gave us 2 clear nights to practice on Staghelm.
This fight is a tough nut to crack with high dps and intense healing required,but on tuesday night he went down.
