Rotface and life on Zul'jin

Back into ICC25 after the reset. One-shot every boss through Festergut, took down Rotface after a little bit of practice with add management and Not Standing In Bad Stuff and had five increasingly-good attempts on Putricide. We're saving the last five for Monday's raid.

This is a good point to mention that we're pretty happy with where we find ourselves in comparative progression on Zul'jin. We didn't expect to lead the way -- in fact, when we were looking for a new server after Area 52 we specifically didn't want to go to another server where we'd be leading progression. (We raid just nine hours a week, we shouldn't be the best progression guild on a server.) There's some really solid hardcore progression raiding guilds on this server and we've got respect for what they accomplish. We're looking forward to seeing what they do once real hardmode progression comes out for ICC25 -- nothing right now is honestly all that difficult and it's not a great test.

That being said, we like to think that our relatively compressed raid schedule means that we've been forced to learn efficient raiding, and if there were some way to rank guilds on a server via progression per time spent in raids, that we'd be near the top of the list. (We ran into any number of situations in the past where another guild would clear content before us, but we'd get it down in less time spent in-instance.)

At the end of the day, relative guild progression is a pretty meaningless game-within-a-game, but it doesn't stop us from paying attention every now and then. We hope you're having fun in ICC and other new content as well, regardless of what you and/or your guild are doing.
