Why do you like to raid?

What is it that you do not like about raiding, but yet not so bad that it makes you want to stop doing it? I asked my guild these same questions sadly I did not get very many responses.
I didn’t start raiding until the 2nd expansion BC (Burning Crusade) and it is what I enjoy most in the game. Out of all the expansions out so far, I had the most fun raiding during BC.
Progressing and completing a raid instance is very rewarding, but when you guild starts to struggle and not progress well it gets harder. People start to get frustrated at the lack of progress and they will leave your guild and move on to another guild that is progressing. Which usually puts the guild in a bind because you have to always keep recruiting to keep a raid full every raid night. You have to depend and rely on our guild mates to be there every raid night otherwise no raid will happen. Usually there is always “Real Life” issues that come up that cause someone to not show up.
Have a great raiding week, we start hard modes on Tuesday!!
Progress Update, Deathwing the Destroyer is DEAD!
Posted in Deathwing, Dragon Soul, Hour of Twilight, World of Warcraft with tags deathwing, dragon soul, end game, Fatal, hour of twilight, progression, raiding, worldofwarcraft on December 16, 2011 by julesinpdxCongratulations Fatal!! Dragon Soul progression 8/8! A new title for us, Destroyer’s End. Thats right people we did it! We got him down last night on Fatal’s Famous Final Attempt. We spent 3 hours and numerous attempts (so many I lost count).
It is a fun, long encounter jumping to different platforms, hoping you won’t lag out and fall to your death. Each attempt we would tweak our strategy and try something different. We would get him to 5% and then hit the enrage timer, which meant instant death for us all.
He fights you all the way no wimping out at 10% for him. Each platform has adds that need to die along with a wing claw. Once we clear all four platforms we get to attack his head, at this point he is at 20%. There are more adds to kill, the AoE damage is insane, healers are out of mana, the dps is throwing everything they can at him. I actually look down at my bars at and think, what else can I use on him? As a hunter, I wish I could summon my 4 other pets and let them loose on him LOL. I know that would be so OP, but way cool! The last attempt was a close one, most of the raid was dead when he died, but a kill is a kill no matter how sloppy it was. Was Vesha still alive when he died?? LOL
Now it’s time for some heroic modes, see you next week Deathwing!
