Da Kine

This update does not get a full-blown ramble.  Instead, you get the collective response to this downing from the entire raid:

<Deep exhale> Thank. God.

For some reason, Putricide was more of a pain-in-the-ass for us than most bosses.  However, our kill was (comically enough) a perfectly clean downing, which just goes to show that sometimes patience pays off (or maybe it was the pent-up frustration finally culminating in a raid of teeth-grinding, button-mashing,  eye-crossing, oh-hell-no-you-don’t determination).

Imua Da Kine!

P.S.  We’re currently working on getting a module up for the front page to keep our recruitment handy.  Until that goes live, please feel free to check in on our current recruiting needs here.

Two of Lethon’s First Shadow’s Edges.

In typical Da Kine style, we’re quick to achieve but slow to report! To add to our list of not-so-recent achievements (at the beginning of January), Kusaruh and Dridarok were two of our members who crafted [Shadow's Edge] — two of the first of these axes on the Lethon server.

Kusaruh has been a long-standing member of Da Kine (over two years), who was awarded the first two bloods from Rotface and Festergut.  His continuous contributions to Da Kine are especially evident in his hosting of our in-guild raffle for prizes such as [Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth] and other coveted in and out-of-game goodies.  Suffice to say, we truly appreciate Kusaruh’s efforts, and are cheering him on towards his [Shadowmourne].

Current progress:  Quest – Unholy Infusion (in progress)

Dridarok has also been a long-standing member of Da Kine (coming up to two years), who originally joined us on his druid, before switching to his now-fury warrior.  Dridarok is well recognized by Da Kine for his dependability, humour, and loyalty.  In recognition of Dridarok’s respected position within Da Kine, he was awarded our second set of bloods, and is currently well on his way to wielding his own [Shadowmourne].

Current progress:  Quest – A Feast of Souls (910/1000)

Progression through ICC continues on both 10 and 25 man raids

Da Kine has continued to progress through ICC, with our 10 man raids having cleared all of the Plague and Blood wings, and up to the newly-released Sindragosa (which our weekend 10 mans are seeing for the first time at the time of this writing).  Our 25 man raid has continued to progress, and we hope to see Valithria Dreamwalker down this week.

Recruitment

We are still recruiting several classes, as outlined in the most recent previous update.  If you’re interested in applying to Da Kine, please feel free to drop by our forums and drop off an application, or just stop by for a chat in our General Discussion!

Imua Da Kine!

Either that, or we’ve just been too busy to keep everyone updated.  With summer fully under way, <Da Kine> has been busy both in-game and out.

Our 10 and 25 man raids have experienced great successes with Hard Mode encounters, with our 10-man only having a couple left before Algalon (Mim/Vezax), and our 25 man having completed Flame Leviathan’s Orbituary, and XT002 Deconstructor’s Heartbreaker, with excellent progress on Hodir’s Cache.

In the non-in-game front, several <Da Kine> get-togethers have occurred over the last few months, with more planned for this summer.  Those who have been able to participate have had a fantastic time hanging out with their fellow guildies and sharing a beer or two (or twelve).

As a last update, the current state of our recruitment is as follows:

We have a high need for the following classes to join our 25 man raiding ranks:

• 1 WARLOCK
• 1 HUNTER

Imua Da Kine!
