About Us

Repeat Offender is a World of Warcraft raiding guild (Alliance faction) on the US-Uldum server. We've cleared Naxx, 6-minute Malygos, and 3-drake Sartharion in 10- and 25-man versions, and are now raiding 10- and 25-man Ulduar full-time. We actively pursue raid achievements since these offer the most fun and challenge.

The Big Bug, Heroic Edition

Mikeoneal is our saronite vapor hero on General Vezax, watching the healers' mana pools, killing vapors just the right time, and directing folks to puddles as smoothly as an air traffic controller. However, even Mike is victim to Yogg-Saron's corrupting influence once in awhile.

[Mikeoneal]: Shit.
[Apathy]: Get Mike up!
[Fennel]: I'll get Mike in a sec--where is your body?
[Fennel]: Mike?
[Fennel]: Mike? Ping your body.
[Mikeoneal]: By the green thing.
[Fennel]: "Green thing"? What the f***, what green thing?
[Mikeoneal]: The only green thing.
[Fennel]: What are you talking about? Just freaking ping the map.
[Mikeoneal]: I pinged it...
[Fennel]: I don't see a ping. Where is your damn body?
[Draikian]: The only green pool up.
[Fennel]: Right, because I can see where that is.
[Fennel]: Okay I am just going to run around looking for you... Read more... »

Data disks, baby!

We got off to a great start in today's 10man by 1-shotting our first kill of Iron Council hardmode (Steelbreaker last).

We also got hardmode Hodir and Thorim for the first time, each on the 2nd attempt.

All in all a good raid.

Finally!

The guild did some great work in 25-man this past reset. Everyone buckled down and got it done for the two watchers that'd been giving us headaches (Mimiron and Thorim).

We'd only ever made it to Thorim Phase 3 once before Sunday, so things were a bit frantic. It was a good example of how irritating the new taunt mechanic can be: "Unbalancing Strike, taunt! It's on Kayhless! It's on Välos! It's back on me, taunt!"... "...Immune..."

I didn't get a screenshot of Thorim because I'm a dork, but I'll post one later.

I won't lie... the nerf to Mimiron definitely made it easier. We were on track to get it this reset anyway, but with the nerf it didn't take us long at all.

We also pushed on in 10man despite limited raid time, and stayed up extra late Sunday night to kill General. We're on Yogg! Even though it was after midnight for most of us, we had to take a peek at Sara. Read more... »

Ice, ice, baby

We "released" our first and coolest watcher today.

Here's Hodir, chillin' over Yogg's prison and ready to lend a hand.

Grats to priestly recruit Murf, who lands the guild's first actual T8 token (Emalon drops aside.)

OMG KITTIES

"KITTIES!!" is about as far as I got when I first read through Auriaya's ailities.

It's a pretty simple fight once you can avoid or otherwise cope with the kitties pouncing on the pull. (As a feral, I can't help but admire them. Cat uis 4 fite!)

Cat lady lost her kitties. :(

We also finished off Iron Council.

Antechamber cleared! Next reset we'll tackle the watchers.

Kologarn

Tonight in our 10-man we worked a little on Council, then downed Ignis and Kologarn, with a couple achievements:

We also discovered that it's possible to fall off the platform and land (rather dead) under Kologarn, even during combat. He has really big feet. Read more... »

Razorscale, XT-002, and Ignis

The instance servers were blessedly stable tonight, and so we gave ourselves another (heroic) Quick Shave.

The strat we'd worked out previously was fine; we just needed to not DIAF and to ramp the DPS a little. (I hear that an orange bar featured prominently on the damage meter. Meow!) Read more... »

Ulduar: first 24 hours

Much of our first 24 hours in Ulduar was spent battling the dreaded Instance Not Found boss, with her two thug lieutenants, Lagged and Bugged. Still, we killed Flame Leviathan in the short time we had to raid Tuesday night, despite not one but two hilarious mispulls (suspected to have been caused by healers who were so excited to have big guns to shoot).

Things went better in our daytime 10-man run, where we started immediately on Flame Leviathan's hard mode. We eventually pared it down to two towers so we could move on to other bosses, and we plan to work on a strat specifically for Freya's tower next reset. We also got out first Razorscale achievement and started work on Ignis.
