Algalon

Today I got in to an established *kinda* raid for Ulduar 25 HardModes. Not the most... attentive group I've seen, but hey, Uld raids are hard to come by, 25man harder still, and I'm not in the habit of looking a gift horse in the teeth... feel me? So it goes alright, and we WAY outgear the place (most of us), so it wasnt gonna be an impossible task but I was not ready. After getting the weekly raid quest out of the way *Razorscale*, we knocked out Heartbreaker *XT-002 Deconstructor* and then With Open Arms *Kologarn*. Just when i think we are moving on they holler that they want to do Algalon. I thinks to myself : "Self, you never did Algalon before, never watched a Tankspot vid even, and to top that off, you heard it was like the hardest fight EVER." So when I'm done crying and have changed my poopy diaper, I listen really hard to the Raid Leader's fight explaination (which, like most fight explanations when you never saw the fight, sounded like "wa wah wa, wa wa wa wah, wah wa wah wah, wah wa."), and away the fight goes. Oh and did i mention you get only 1 hour to attempt it, after that, it's better luck next week. So after about the 3rd raid wipe, I finally start to see whats goin on, and most of the others do too apparently because on the 4th attempt we get him to 7% (*the fight is over at 5%). "OK major progress." I says to myself. 2 more wipes later we didn't even get close. With disappointment in her voice the Raid Leader says "OK run back in, one more attempt left." and we fire it up with 7 minutes left on the hour alotted.

So we did it.  Next week's adventures : Iron Council, Freya, and Mimiron (which was rediculously hard on 10man, i can't even imagine what the 25 will be like)
