Welcome to Still Alive's Blog site!

/welcome and /wave to all newcomers and visitors!
This Blog has been created to provide an out-of-game point of comunication for all Guild members.

We started out with just a small group of 8 or so members in late 2007. We now number approximately 20 regular players.

We strive to take the 'Family' approach to World of Warcraft. All polite and friendly players are warmly welcomed.
That said, we don't shy away from the full set of Raids that  Northrend has to offer either. We're here to show that End of Game Content doesn't have to meen "Hard Core Raiding" ;)

We're now working on Ulduar and Eye of Eternity, and regularly raiding Naxxramas.

3 Wings Clear!...time for the fourth?


A sweeping success of 3 Guild-firsts tonight!

Thaddius :

He gave us a good amount of iritation, but we had the idea very quickly. It's all in the jump :)


Heigan the Unclean :

No! Just don't ask!


Lotheb :

Absolutely no trouble at all, a nice easy Boss to end on a high note with :D



Of course, now the question is... are we able to get a final attack together for the awsome GOTHIK and FOUR HORSEMEN of the Millitary wing, before the week is up?

Hit the two links to watch the Tankspot Guide folks. We need to research these ^_^

Breaking new ground!...


Well, although we took out the first boss of the Millitary wing, Instructor Razuvious, we thought it wise to leave Gothik and the 4 Horsemen for the end.
Having previously shown Patchwerk why he (and his little brother Meathook) held no sway over us, we took him down with ease.

Meathook..I meen Patchwerk :
Hatestrike - Taai

...and we then moved onto Grobbulus.
What a sticky chap he is...hmm, sticky floor too. The filthy chump gave us his best, but we bested him all the same, and gained.

Grobbulus :
Band of Anxiety - (dis-enchanted)
Infection Repulser - Sugarpuffs



The end?...Oh dear me no ;)
Bad dog!
We took down Gluth with 9 of us.. how so you may ask?
We lost a tank (namely me Obsidanse) right at the start!
And if there was ever anyone left who doubted Sugar and Trulsans healing, and Stantz tanking, then eat your words sir!
On two seperate occasions, Stantz received a 10 stack of Gluth's debuff (100% less healing!!) and lived to tell the tale :)
An incredible job pulling the Zombie Chow by Taai in particular, but an incredible display from everyone there.
How do I know?
I saw the whole thing..
From the floor lol :D

Gluth :
Hatestrike (again?) - Suddrik




Sadly we had to give Thaddius a break for the night while we all go research a little... So we thought we'd sick Noth just for jollies.

Noth :

were dropped, but i'm so sorry, i was too done in, I didnt note who got them.. Tell us if you know guys ^_^

Raid tips..Heigan the Unclean's Dancefloor.

Hey Guys!
I need you all to familiarise yourself with this video guys (HEIGAN - TANKSPOT). It's a very helpful walk through the pattern of Heigans dance, where the safe zones are, and also some good tips for atitude when playing this boss.
One or two usefull tips specifically for healers and tanks too :)

Also, there's a nifty flash animation of the pattern HERE (although it may be slightly fast lol)

We're kicking Noth's butt, let's get the whole wing! ^_^
