Generally, everybody measures raid nights in hours spent doing shit. Sometimes you can also quantify it by bosses killed or loot gotten. Me, I measure raids in Excedrin Points, which I just made up right as I typed this. Tonight was worth four of those, including the two I'm going to go take right now.
Anyway! So, on the plus side, we started strong and finished strong tonight, but in between we spent a lot of time wiping to shit we shouldn't have spent a lot of time wiping to. It happens sooner or later; you do what you can, and eventually bounce back from it. Luckily tonight we did.
Ok, that's all pretty generic sounding. What did we actually do? Well, first, we saved our old pal Thorim. This fight is really enjoyable because of the chaos and the amount of adds involved, plus it's cool that they finally figured out a way to split the raid and have the fight work. Man, can it go wrong fast though. He held us up for a good while between figuring that split out, and just generaly dumbfuckery, but eventually he gave up and hi-fived us.

Loot -
Vulmir, the Northern Tempest (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45463) - Eradris
Conqueror's Circlet of Sanctification (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46172) - Tephea
Conqueror's Kirin Tor Hood (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46129) - Gli
Next, the beginning of some of the worst trash clears inside this place. Packs everywhere, a boss that patrols, and 3 minibosses that apparently do "things" to "THE WHOLE RAID." At least you get 4 Emblems for your trouble, though. That led to Freya, who summons... TONS OF ADDS. That's starting to become a familiar theme here. We adapted a lot better to Freya than we did to Thorim, though, so she didn't hold us up for more than two pulls.

Loot backwards is tool -
Gauntlets of Ruthless Reprisal (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45481) - Ghoulish
Conqueror's Scourgestalker Legguards (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46144) - Loktera
Conqueror's Terrorblade Legplates (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46126) - Lethargy
Next up is Mimiron. Judging by the 10-man version of him, Sunday is going to be worth two Percocet Points. Stay tuned!
