The gambling bozo is dead after 52 pulls for US 31 / World 116! This raid was substantially better than the first raid of The War Within. The theme was awesome, class balance was much better, and the encounter design was generally quite good. Gallywix was a bit of a let down, mostly in that the fight felt... a bit unfinished.
The Liberation of Undermine represents the 21st raid we have cleared as a guild since we formed back in Warlords of Draenor. We continue onward in the spirit of playing at a high level on a low number of hours, so that we can maintain balance in our lives yet continue to enjoy the raids that we all love progressing through.
While this tier represented challenges for us I appreciate having the opportunity to raid with so many fun & talented players every week. Kudos to the team for another awesome tier raiding together!

The fire dragon is dead after 211 pulls for US 26 / World 91! That puts a bow on Dragonflight, which was honestly a pretty good expansion compared to the last two. This tier was the hardest we've seen since Sepulcher and overall really proud of the team for finishing strong. We haven't had a boss test our mental in a while and these last two bosses (Tindral especially) did not disappoint. We came into this tier really energized after our BlizzCon 2023 meetup at the start of November where we managed to convince @Treefee to come back for a tier! Here are our final Mythic pull counts for the tier:
...
| Boss | Pull Count |
|---|---|
| Gnarlroot | 2 |
| Igira | 9 |
| Volcoross | 8 |
| Council of Dreams | 6 |
| Nymue | 13 |
| Larodar | 7 |
| Smolderon | 93 |

We broke out of jail in 205 pulls for US 24 / World 114. This fight was the first in quite some time that really tested mental discipline. It’s one of those fights that combines unpleasant mechanics (los, holes) with demanding execution requirements. Couple that with an existential time crunch for the Hall of Fame (our soft goal) and you get a boss that really put our team to the test.
We don’t focus too much on rank, but this was our best rank (and performance) as a team ever. This tier was long and grueling, and arguably one of the most difficult in the history of the game. However that is also when we perform the best. It required even more complex WeakAuras and preparation than we’ve had to do in the past. Speaking of rank and preparation: it’s worth talking about how that aligns with the Hall of Fame. While we have certainly felt pressure to raid beyond our hours… we’ve always focused on what we can do better, from all angles, except for adding raid nights. Frankly, just to...

We downed this boss in 91 pulls and then @Noodles immediately had a smoke break. Gotta say Star Boy was a pretty fun fight. The hardest part being micro-management of the quasars and subsequently coordination of the soaks. Been a while since there was such a binary mechanics check, but this fight was right on the edge of reasonable, so kudos to Blizzard there. This fight really tested healing (shoutout to our badass healers) and pushed the team to optimize self-sufficiency to the max. Overall a great penultimate boss to what has been the most challenging tier perhaps ever. Really looking forward to Jailer!
