Well I wasn’t there. So of course Crux wasn’t going to win, but still the poor fools made some attempts. (We did pretty well yesterday) And in fact they got the big drake down to 36% I hear a lot of talk of 35%, but no screen shots have been forthcoming. Blizzard don’t appreciate Crux’s rapid progression, so they gave us some early maintenance to cut our plans short.

I’m sure a couple of people are disappointed about this, so I have prepared this unicorn chaser:Â

Additional from Manduned:
Does anyone still doubt that Nefarian is incarnate and working as a Blizzard employee? Lets examine shall we?
1. 3/4 of the Raid gets disconnected while pwning Chromy at 50%
2. On our next attempt, we kill Chromy only to find ML is broken
3. After demonstrating to Nefarian that his defeat is inevitable on Monday, maintenance is mysteriously scheduled an hour early
4. 1 hour before we’re due to form, the login server is broken.
These points surely confirm that Nefarian works as an IT techy in the Blizzard server vaults.
Anyway, for those that missed it, here’s a run down of how the fight went last night:
26 mins till server restart. Nefarian decides to grace us with his presence again. Final buffs, move to position. 25 mins to server restart. “Let the games begin”. Ye let the gates of hell open and their clensing fires purge – thus spake the mighty warlocks. DPS opened their collective cans of arse whoopage, calls for AoE abounded – Thunderbirds were GO. 15 mins to server restart. Nefarian tires of spamming us with shadow bolts and lands in his mighty dragon form. Three kin left in the north, six in the south. They go down quickly. Bresane is alive, everyone is in position, only one person is dead – all is well. The mighty Crux machines gears begin to grind and Nefarians health steadily heads in the downwards direction. Class calls, mages polymorph, I am a giraffe, all is well. 11 mins till server reset. Nefarian is at 75%. Heart begins pounding in chest. 8 mins to server reset. Nefarian is at 55%. Only losses so far have been rogues – bummer. 6 mins to server reset. Nefarian is at 38%. Bresanne gets pretty much one shotted during a warrior call and Nefarian proceeds to eat the rest of the raid. Those left standing manage to further reduce his health to 35% before the last deathcry echoes over the balcony and across Searing Gorge.
What can I say guys. To sit back and think that this is only our second night of attempts at this guy! Brilliant work – I’m certain if the server had given us an extra hour Nefarians head would be swinging from the gates of Stormwind – it’ll definitely be there next week!
