» WWA downs heroic Madness. US 12th. See you in MoP. Options

We are going to edit in a sweet line-up screenshot later after either voore or i get photoshop, but for now, here is an action shot:



As with every finally kill of a tier, or more specifically final kill of an expansion, i agreed that i would write a "novel," as my guild likes to call it, on the forums with my thoughts about the tier, the expansion and the guild.

This expansion has been something truly special for <WWA>. Cataclysm bore witness to our transformation from some mediocre US 60th guild to slightly more respectable US 12th. We changed a lot over this expansion, as a guild and as players. Very little of the roster has actually remained the same, and fewer still have been here since the guild's beginning (just Killmour, raw and i).

There have been varying opinions of this tier as a whole, but i would say overall i found this tier to be largely enjoyable, the obvious exception being spine. Many of the fights were surprisingly well designed with interesting mechanics, but were simply not correctly tuned. Overall this tier simply seemed too easy. I know this seems vaguely hypocritical of me, being that we still did lose to 11 other 25man guilds, but for our sake, and all of theirs, we could have used more of a challenge.

With regards to the madness fight itself, i honestly found this to be one of the most enjoyable fights in a long time. The only qualm i really have is that it was too easy. I know a lot of people have complained that there really are only two new mechanics in heroic madness, but the way the mechanics interact make it seem like a whole different fight. A perfect example is our first madness kill, where we killed kalecgos BEFORE nozdormu, because the spellweaving buff simply didn't matter. Even attempting heroic without spellweaving would be hilarious. Madness was a great fight to end the expansion on. Too bad it was overshadowed by shit ass garbage like spine.

More excitement in my extended post, (don't want to fuck up the front page too badly).
^click that link, idiot.
