Congrats to the guilds’ raid team for downing normal G’huun last night. You all did a great job this past week clearing all the normal bosses during the first week of raid release!
Raid
These posts are especially relevant to our Raiders!
Given our general success and progress on Sunday, we’ve decided to see if there’s interest in going after him again on Monday (same time as usual raids).
If you’re interested, please sign up as “confirmed” in game. If you’re not sure, hit “tentative”. 4 raids on one week is a lot but I know there’s excitement since we got him to 8%. We’d hate to lose steam and disappoint anyone taking a look at getting the kill on week 1.
(Reminder: you still have to be confirmed for an invite. Bonus raid nights don’t count towards promotions to Vanguard.)
On account of our raid team going 7/8 in two days (holy smokes are we impressed), we’re going to be continuing a trend we picked up in Antorus with Argus, and setting up another raid time this weekend.
Sunday at 5pm PST / 8pm EST we will be going for the kill on G’huun. Invites start going out at a half an hour before, as usual.
Sunday Funday will only be going from 3-5 PST / 6-8 EST as a result.
Please watch the G’huun videos from previous Raider Homework assignments. If FatBoss adds a live (not beta) video between now and then, I’ll make sure to post it for you guys! If anyone has G’huun experience, we welcome you to share your thoughts and strategies in the Raiding Discussion Discord channel.
As a reminder, this is still only for those who properly confirmed with a Warlord that you’ve read the rules / done the homework. This “pick up” event does not count towards or against Vanguard promotions.
For 9/7, please thoroughly watch the last bosses of Uldir. We’ve included some more complete videos, since Fatboss has not added all bosses for live videos yet. However, feel free to watch whichever videos you please.
Please also concentrate on the Heroic mechanics of Taloc in case we decide to go for him.
For Tuesday, make sure to run a +5 mythic to get sweet M+ loot!
Because Blizzard decided to be a shitter with gear this xpack (especially weapons / offhands), we’ve decided to lower the ilvl requirements for raid inclusion to 340. Too many people are stuck at 343 in a panic unable to make the cut. That’s not fair to you or to us, so we’re lowering the numbers (at least for now). I’ll be updating the rules accordingly!
As a reminder: hitting the raw numbers isn’t enough to qualify for raid. You must also read the following:
Once you’ve read all that, confirm that fact with Quetzie. If you do not properly confirm your understanding of the aforementioned, you do not get to raid with us, even if you’re 350 ilvl and 25 azerite level.
Confirmations must be made by 5pm EST / 2pm PST. If you do not properly confirm you have 1 additional hour to do it right. No confirmations will be accepted after 6pm/3pm, and invites go out at 6:30/3:30.
Here’s a list of strategy guides, cheat sheets, quick facts, and more. These aren’t required reading, but it may help you to parse the information. Keep in mind things change between beta and live so things might wind up different when we do it.

How to kill fellow raid members in Uldir – if we catch you doing things in this thread, you’re in for it.
So, we have recently added a bunch of officers and assistants (Legatis and Praetors) to help out with various aspects of Battle for Azeroth. I figured that I would take some time to introduce them to everyone (both new and old) with what their guild roles are!
Lunzzul and Hoss (Deathhoss) – are 1st and 2nd in command of our PVP division
Wolframheart – Guild Tailor (bags) and Guild Bank control
Sym – is currently helping where needed, but may take a leadership role when Warfronts start
Widrick – chiefly responsible for technical issues as they pertain to the guild website
Grim – guild chef and produces our feasts, amongst other things
Bulb – Sunday Funday officer and enchants producer
Lineda – Guild Alchemist and Flask producer
Zextol/Telanlan/Quetzie/Tiv – Raid Leaders (Warlords)
Truetype – Officer in Training – Island Expeditions
This is the first Raider Homework post for Uldir and BFA. Raiders both new and old should pay a lot of attention!
Focus: Normal
For now, we’re going to be focusing on normal bosses for Uldir. Many videos (like FatbossTV) cover both Normal and Heroic in the same video. Please cross-reference videos with Uldir Abilities to see which abilities are not in normal mode so you don’t get overwhelmed by excess mechanics you don’t need to know right now.
Many videos (such as fatboss) also cover theorycrafting of each boss, how Blizzard could change the boss, etc. Don’t worry about that information. We want you to know the mechanics as they are, not what they could be. Also, assume bugs will have been smoothed out before the raid drops. We are not going to penalize you if abilities have changed or are different as a result of bug fixing between beta and live.
Calling all herbalists! Come help the guild prepare for Uldir raiding by gathering the herbs needed to create flasks, potions, and cauldrons.
Players who donate the most herbs could win prizes such as mounts, toys, and gold!
Two small and one big change coming to the site today!
New Top Banner
First, the banner at the top of every webpage has been updated. It used to be our kill pic from Nighthold:
Now, it’s our kill pic from Heroic Antorus:
New Raiding Homepage Banner
Remember the AOTC Mount Photo and submissions?
PvP Pages
Last, but certainly not least, we have a PvP section on the website now.
Much like the Raiding homepage, the PvP homepage has the most recent 10 PvP posts, and links to the rules and complete PvP news feed. It also includes a handy list of PvP-only resources, like addons and macros. The homepage lists requirements for partaking in both casual and rated PvP, and features the picture of us on our mounts after achieving For the Horde.
I continue to try to push out quality of life changes and add new, useful, and fun features to the website for the guild. If you have an idea or a suggestion, fill out the Feedback form and let me know! Is something broken? Submit a Bug Report!
