Not a whole lot to say here other than this achievement is very frustrating. We almost had it 2 weeks ago, with a 10% wipe due to a simple mistake, and this past week was .. well, we didn't get the achievement again... and I'm still cursing at Stuters for it ...

This week was nuts to say the least. One of our officers, who happens to be one of our highest dps'ers because he's a broken ass Death Knight has a terrible internet connection. Naturally, every time Anub burrowed, he went link dead. When we started phase 3, he went link dead again... but we still managed to hold it together. But it gets better, our Enhancement Shaman, who pretty much never goes link dead, and is just rock solid .. decided that tonight would be a perfect night to get a Windows blue screen of death about 5% before phase 3 ... and of course in doing so, it took his totems with him nerfing our melee heavy teams dps drastically. We literally watched the rate of Anubs health stop moving at a steady pace, and it turned into a slow crawl.

As Anub's life slowly creeped down in phase 3, the tension rose as we hit 17%... our shadow strike interrupter lagged out, missed a strike, and things went shitastically crazy real fast ... we managed to lose 5 people in the process, Minxie's corpse fell to the ground for a 3rd time, mass panic set in, Bloodlust somehow got smashed during the frantic screams of Xephos crying out for innervates ... and somehow .. through an act of god .. Agony kept it together as we could taste the win within our grasp... and sure enough, Anub died.

Gratz team, I don't know how in gods green earth we recovered from that domino of events, but that was some really solid playing ...
