For whatever reason, I am cursed. Even since joining Pantheon, I seem to get disconnected from WoW during all the cool kills. It's not my internet, I just get kicked from WoW. So in keeping that awesome fashion, I missed our server first kill of Algalon, and in so, never got a video of the kill.
That being said, I made sure I got a video this week. Unfortunately, the week before was so heavy on my mind I failed to understand how to save my own life. So this video, though complete, is from the point of view of a dead body.
MAGNIFICENT!
Anyway, to the video:

Once again, Pantheon battle's their way to the forefront to bring you a server first that, and I think I speak for everyone, had our heart's pumping at hyper speeds. After weeks and weeks of dancing around the ring with Algalon, we finally stomped out, Code Word: Alpha.
With the server first, we also recieved the regular achievement as well....
As with everything we do, we can't but help have some fun.... I guess the excitement of killing Algalon was too much for some to bear. Sarb and Kaj decided to run off Kologarn's bodyBridge to their demise.... Sarb is quick on the release, so he is spared the screenshot... but Kaj... you got caught on Phy's Candid Camera =P....
I pride myself in being a good healer. I know how to heal, and when to use what abilities. I usually raid heal, because I like the challenge over just healing the tank over and over and over again. So when fights have parts like P1 in Yogg, where only a few people take damage, I grow restless and bored.
Then, shit happens.
Ignoring that, we have made further progress in Algalon. The fight itself is not overly difficult, its getting 25 people to learn and do their job in an hour, and then hoping you get those people again the next week, and they remember. As long as your DPS doesn't fall behind, once you make it through the first Big Bang, its all the same.
Here is our best attempt as to date:
I plan on making updates on a weekly schedule, but things have been busy for me, between raiding, schoolwork, lack of cash flow, and teaching myself how to use Sony Vegas Pro 9 at 2 in the morning have made that difficult.
But I have not abandoned you. DO NOT FRET, NABA WILL RETURN.
In Nabashin's absence, I have taken it upon myself to update the front page. Unfortunately, I'm not as well versed as Naba, so this update shall be short and sweet...
Today marks Yogg-Saron's demise with the assistance of only one ally. Soon though, we will not need assistance in destroying old Yogg. The Funny thing about how we managed this kill, is in the number of people standing at the end of what I dubbed "a glorious battle"....
That's right two people alive.... Apparently though, I'm not as fast as our Shaman's are at Ankhing....
On the lighter side, Congratulations are in order to our brothers and sisters who are the new proud owners of Ironbound Proto-Drakes.
Grats guys.... /whew... I'm leavin this up to Naba from now on.... =P
Hello fine readers! It is I, fair Nabashin, the new online megaphone for Pantheon Bloodline! With that, I am pleased to bring you news of the newest accomplishment for our guild:
That is right, Freya with her three watchers has been felled, debarked, cut, sized, crafted, sanded, and finally polished into Druimann's fabulous new toy:
Other things were looted as well of course, but that was the hard mode loot of the evening. That fight.... Ill tell you what. You know those Final Destination movies, where a group of people are having all these terrible things happen to them, and one of them keeps seeing it happen right before it does? Healing this fight is kind of like that. You sit there, minding your own business(in my case, slapping my Power Word: Shield button over and over again) while your DPS are killing the Snaplasher, and then WHAMO! Conservator shows up, no one can cast, and a tank gets its brain punched out the back of its skull. If it would have been the mass of little flowers, you might have been OK. Its random stacked on random, and it's frustrating as heck to do. I guess that makes it even better when you kill it though right?
Now you may say, "Hey Nabashin! Congratulations on the kill! You guys must have had a nice little celebration, kicked back, sippin' some Kungaloosh and took the rest of the night off right?"
NOT FREAKING LIKELY! Shaorin, master slave-driver extraordinaire, forced us down the right wing of the Antechamber of Ulduar, where we opened the doorway, into a very odd room....
Here we found not one, BUT TW.... oh, no, just one Algalon. At only an hour a week, it is imperative that we get the most out of each attempt, and get as many in as possible. Luckily, a good handful of our 25 man raid has beaten Algalon10, so it will only be a matter of time.
Well, that pretty much is it, we have beaten all the bosses, except Algalon25 of course, and are only 1 more light away from Glory of the Ulduar Raider, and 2 lights away from full completion. Even with the new Call of the Crusade, the first two bosses have gone down without much struggle. Hopefully the later bosses, and their hard modes, give us something a bit more substantial to chew on....
