So this space has been a bit quiet since we downed Yogg. Summer lull, recruiting and training them up, same shit that happens every year. We've been working on a few hard modes for weeks now, but at times we've only been able to put in a few attempts, or none at all depending on who we can get. That work's finally started paying off, though.
Let me state beforehand that the lack of killshot pictures isn't my fault. Blame other people for not reminding me. The horrible stand-in pictures, however, can definitely be laid at my doorstep.
First, going back a few weeks, we killed XT-002 hard mode, aka Heroic: Heartbreaker. It's probably the easiest one to do... the biggest challenge is getting the DPS to kill his Heart in time, which isn't really that much of a challenge. This one, we knocked out a little over two weeks ago on 6/30.

Fast forward to tonight. We've been ramping our way up to hardmode Flame Leviathan for a few weeks. We're probably weeks behind on getting this one down (big surprise for KKW), but we'd been putting it off for a while because, frankly, throwing a few hours of wiping into the first boss in the instance, and a vehicle boss no less, isn't exactly the most encouraging way to start off a raid week.
What's really cool is that the attempt before the killshot, Maelstrom decided to crash when we had FL at 2%. Good thing we had weekly maintenance today.

Too soon?

Finally, Hodir. We've been working on this shit for weeks but never seemed to have quite the right people available on a given night. Throwing undergeared recruits at it is a nice trial by fire for them, but doesn't really get the boss dead with such stringent DPS requirements. Last attempt of the evening, though (and a sloppy one at that), he gave up and handed us his Rare Cache.

Yes, this picture is total shit. They all are. Fuck off.

Not bad for the summer months. Maybe next time, I'll actually have real goddamn killshots. Stay tuned.
