(H)Kil’jaeden down ~ Tomb of Sargeras clear!

Lucky number 60 (pull) was the charm. Two people alive at the end, with several clutch moments throughout the fight. True Verity fashion. Really proud of our raid team this tier, sticking it out and getting the job done. Congrats all!

Time Is On Our Side ~ 9/10(H) Nighthold

More solid progress this week, as Elisande fell after a good amount of effort. We're about ten wipes deep on Gul'dan so far, who looks like will be a reasonable challenge. Another tier is almost complete!

Botanist Burned ~ 8/10(H) Nighthold

Our rescheduled valentines raid paid immediate dividends as we one shot Botanist right off the bat. It's amazing what you can manage when you control the lashers! Some good progress was made on Elisande, but she is definitely looking like a stiff challenge - and we...

A Cure For Tichondrius ~ 7/10(H) Nighthold

We sure know how to keep things interesting, and blowing up half the raid with the boss at 5% is one way to do it. We prevailed however, and steady progression continues. Botanist is all that is left between us and the final two~.

Star Struck ~ 6/10(H) Nighthold

One new kill to report this week, that of Star Augur Etraeus. Managed to get Tichondrius to ten percent, and expect him to fall shortly. Stay tuned!

Half Way Home ~ 5/10(H) Nighthold

Krosus and Spellblade Aluriel fell on progression night this week, bringing us to the half way point of Heroic Nighthold. Congrats to those who picked up loot, particularly their heroic tier chests!

All Guarms Go To Heaven ~ 2/3(H) Trial of Valor

After working hard to repeat our Odyn kill from last week, we made it to Guarm with an hour left in our allotted raid time and downed him right at the buzzer in true Verity fashion. Only (H)Helya remains before it's all farm status until Nighthold!

Verity Shocks (H)Odyn, Goes 1/3(H) Trial of Valor

After a 0.7% wipe about two hours into our progression on (H)Odyn, we managed a (sort of) kill about a half hour later. Granted, Odyn was still standing at 10% health and our entire raid was dead, but he gave us loot nonetheless. Items included a couple 895...

Three Up, Three Down ~ 3/3(N) Trial of Valor

The Trial of Valor launched today, and after going into full progression mode we managed to successfully clear the place on normal difficulty. Helya in particular was quite a battle, and both Helya and to a lesser extent Guarm were tuned quite aggressively in my...

All Natural ~ 6/7(H) Nightmare

Progression night yielded another new notch on our raiding belt Thursday, as we took out Cenarius in a little over an hour of work. Grats to Byrdie on the awesome Legendary as well as the 890 cloak. Xavius proved to be a bit more stubborn, with our best attempt...

Slime Time and Spidercide ~ 5/7(H) Nightmare

After managing another (H)Ursoc kill on Thursday, we moved into progression mode and had a very impressive showing. Our earlier work on (H)Il'gynoth paid off, and after about an hour or so of work he fell. Through constant strategy iteration on Elerethe we went from...

(H)Ursoc Barely Dies ~ Verity Goes 3/7(H) Nightmare

After getting a little bit better each attempt, we stretched more and more DPS/HPS and execution out of our raid force and managed yet another progression kill, this time putting (H)Ursoc to sleep. Much progress was also made on (H)Il'gynoth, and we expect him to join...

Dragons of Nightmare Drop ~ 2/7(H) Nightmare

Farm night had a little progression added to it on Tuesday, when with very little time left in our raid and having already cleared all previously defeated content, we resumed work on (H)Dragons, to which we had a 1% wipe the week prior. Fortunately we didn't need much...

We Only Need One Shot ~ 7/7(N) | 1/7(H) Emerald Nightmare

Thursday was pretty special. In what has been almost a decade of serving as a raid leader for Verity, I'm not sure I've ever been as surprised as I was on Thursday. We knew after Tuesday's raid that the goal for Thursday was Xavius, and homework was assigned. The...

Verity Kicks Off Raiding In Legion, Goes 6/7(N) Nightmare

Verity's first official raid of Legion took place on Tuesday, and it was remarkable for a few different reasons. We tore through (N)Emerald Nightmare, killing six bosses - not wiping more than once to any encounter attempted. We were gifted two legendaries and a...

Legion Roll Call

The Legion pre-expansion patch is nearly here! Will you be joining us? Let us know in the Legion Roll Call thread.

Overwatch is Finally Here

The long-awaited launch of Overwatch finally rolled out earlier this week to the overwhelming joy of many and was quite possibly the smoothest launch we've ever seen. Amazing, right? Indeed.  Wanna see who's playing? Check out Verity's Overwatch Roll Call....

(H)Zakuun and (H)Socrethar Bite the Dust ~ 9/13(H)HFC

Thursday was a pure progression raid, and progression was had! We started with Heroic Fel Lord Zakuun (because Heroic Socrethar is mean and we hate him), and made steady progress learning the mechanics we didn't really need to pay attention to on normal. We steadily...

(N)Archimonde Annihilated ~ Normal HFC Clear!

After being adjusted for smaller group sizes (like ours!), Archimonde only lasted two attempts on Tuesday. With that, we are content complete in normal difficulty for this expansion. Really solid execution by everyone on the kill, in which we ranked nicely for...

(H)Iskar Grounded ~ 7/13 (H)HFC

We marched back into Heroic Hellfire Citadel on Thursday, and despite making it into progression time with only thirty minutes left in our raid, managed a new kill nonetheless! Unfortunately the screenshot appears to have evaded me, damn you PRTSCR button. Grats to...

Plentiful Progression ~ 6/13 (H)HFC

For the first time in quite a while, we had a raid night dedicated almost entirely to progression content. We made the most of this luxury, and knocked out three new heroic bosses: Hellfire Council (easy), Kilrogg Deadeye, and through a pretty excellent display of...

Getting Heroic ~ 3/13 (H)HFC

We made our first voyage into heroic HFC during the last 90 minutes of our raid on Thursday, and managed to knock out three bosses. Hellfire Assault took a few tries, Iron Reaver got one shot, and Kormrok fell after three attempts. Congrats to everyone on their loot!...

Xhul’horac and Mannoroth Down ~ 12/13 (N)HFC

We had our first progression night in some time on Thursday, and definitely made the most of it. Xul'horac fell first half way into the raid, and (somewhat) unexpectedly Mannoroth dropped over dead about an hour later. Grats to our Paladins on their Tier pieces! Make...

10/13 (N)HFC ~ Socrethar Down ~ Tyrant Velhari Toppled

Progress is on menu this week! Following our two first kills on Tuesday, we added two more on Thursday. Socrethar fell first, after putting up a bit more of a fight than we were expecting. It turns out controlling a giant robot that can do 150k DPS is a lot of fun....

Iskar and Zakuun Down ~ 8/13 (N)HFC

Tuesday was a particularly interesting raid night. We were short healers and had to PuG two folks to get started, but ended up plowing through all our farm content and eventually picked up two first kills (one shots) during the last 40 minutes of our time. Iskar bit...

Gorefiend Gutted ~ 6/13HFC

Gorefiend only lasted three attempts in our fresh instance on Tuesday. It was a very close call at the end, but victory was ours. Grats to Piddles on our first Tier legs of HFC! We put in about 30 minutes on Iskar, and it feels like we're already pretty close to a...

Maiden Voyage ~ 5/13N HFC

With patch 6.2 launching today, we made our first trip into Hellfire Citadel. Being a wee-bit overgeared for the initial content in Normal difficulty, we managed one-shots of Hellfire Assault, Iron Reaver, and the Hellfire High Council. Kormrok took two tries, while...

Sweet Satisfaction ~ (H)BRF Clear ~ (H)Blackhand Down!

It has been a long time coming. 74 attempts over a long period of frequently not having a force ready to put time in. Tonight, however, (H)Blackhand finally fell. Truly, it is difficult to overstate how meaningful and epic this kill was. He died on our last attempt of...

Welcome New Folks!

Verity is excited to introduce our newest members, please join us in welcoming them into the fold: Smittenz Well-experienced MMOer with WoW raid leading experience. Lives in North Dakota, has a son and serves in the National Guard. (We thank you for your service!)...

(H)Furnace Fizzled ~ 9/10 (H)BRF ~ One More Challenge

Despite losing one tank two thirds of the way through the final phase of the fight, and the other with the Heart of the Mountain at 10% health, we managed a pretty epic progression kill on Thursday. Well done folks, particularly those DPS who stepped up to tank us to...

(H)Maidens Blown Up – 8/10H BRF

After putting in a lot of work on Thursday with the ten brave souls present, we earned a progression kill of (H)Iron Maidens through some excellent execution. Two more progression steps to go before 6.2!

Blackhand Butchered – (N)BRF Clear!

Heading into Tuesday we knew it was time to take care of our business with Blackhand, and after a few deep breaths we were able to do so. Great job so far on this tier of content, but we've still got some hard work ahead of us to finish our heroic progression and be...

(H)Imperator Mar’gok Finally Falls

Verity finally got the (H)Mar'gok monkey off our back and completed Ahead of the Curve: Imperator's Fall. Better late than never! It only took us one shot, though it was one hell of an epic finish. Four folks were left alive, and all with little more than a sliver of...

Blast Furnace Extinguished ~ 9/10 (N)BRF

We took our first shot at the Blast Furnace encounter on Thursday, and five attempts later we had a kill. It was definitely a very interesting encounter, with something of an "old school" vibe to it. Great job by our healers holding things together at the end!...

Iron Maidens Mangled ~ 8/10 (N)BRF

We had our first look at the Iron Maidens encounter as a guild on Thursday. Despite having a smaller raid size than normal, the seventh attempt was the charm. Blackhand can surely hear our footsteps getting closer as now only the Blast Furnace stands between us....

Heroic Destruction ~ 5/10 (H)BRF

We made a strong push into Heroic BRF on Tuesday, picking up three first kills. (H)Oregorger fell first, followed by (H)Beastlord and finally (H)Flamebender. Tons of great loot was had, including our first 680 tier pieces as well as a very much in demand Goren Soul...

Kromog Crumbles ~ 7/10N BRF

We felled our first final wing boss in BRF on Tuesday, with Kromog biting the dust in two attempts. Tier helms are officially on the menu, and I'm sure a couple more progression kills aren't too far behind.

One Night, Three Progression Kills

We spent a night dedicated entirely to progression on Thursday, and came away with three first kills! Operator Thogar fell on normal, followed by Heroic Hans and Franz and Heroic Gruul biting the dust. Excellent work, and grats on the loot. Kromog's days are numbered.

Eight Bosses and Some Unfinished Business

After knocking out five bosses in normal BRF, we took our talents to heroic Highmaul to snag a quick progression kill to end our Tuesday night raid. Heroic Brackenspore fell in a single attempt, bringing us to 6/7H Highmaul. So much loot, it felt like most folks got...

Oregorger Rolled ~ 5/10N BRF

We kicked off Thursday by downing what had become a nemesis of sorts for our raid group: Oregorger. Though I'm sure he'll still appear rolling around in our nightmares, we've now got a kill under our belts! Thogar and Kromog are on borrowed time. Good job sticking...

Flamebender Ka’graz Lit Up

Another raid day, another first kill in the Foundry for Verity. Five shots at Flamebender Ka'graz was all it took to score us our first Tier pieces in Draenor. The previously vanquished Hans/Franz, Darmac, and Gruul all got one shot. Loot was plentiful, and we're all...

Beastlord Darmac Falls

What do a dire wolf, elekk, and rylak have in common? They all failed to stop fifteen of Verity's finest from putting down Beastlord Darmac on Thursday. Oregorger, Flamebender Ka'graz, and Kromog will join him soon!

Blackrock Foundry Opens, Two Bosses Down – Realm First!

Our first foray into Blackrock Foundry went down on Tuesday, and we managed kills of Hans'gar and Franzok as well as our old friend Gruul. Oregorger proved a little more than we could handle, but we'll be back for him shortly! The Hans'gar and Franzok fight was...

More Heroic Progress ~ 7/7N, 5/7H

We finished the week with two additional progression first kills: Heroic Tectus followed by Heroic Ko'ragh. This brings us to a total of 5 of 7 bosses downed in Heroic Highmaul, with Normal fully cleared. Not too shabby heading into Blackrock Foundry next week! Grats...

Highmaul Clear ~ Imperator Defeated ~ 7/7N, 3/7H HM

We had one goal on Tuesday, and that was to clear normal Highmaul for the first time. Thanks to the work we had put previously into the Imperator Mar'gok encounter, it only took us three attempts (including a 7% wipe on pull #2) in order to get the job done. Great job...

Heroic Butcher and Heroic Twins Down!

We're up to 6/7N and now 3/7H with a couple fresh kills this Thursday. Good job sticking with it, and grats on all the 670 loot, particular the agility trinkets from the Butcher. Mar'gok dies next week.

Ko’ragh broken! One to go…

In true Verity fashion, Ko'ragh fell on our last attempt of the night. Great job everyone on some solid execution, we've bested our first true test in Highmaul. The much greater challenge still awaits: Imperator Mar'gok! Let's get him down before the launch of...

Brackenspore lit up; Kargath heroically vanquished

Our raid schedule started up again on Tuesday, and yielded two new first kills: Normal Brackenspore and Heroic Kargath. Brackenspore was a close call: at the time of his death the room was almost entirely moss! Kargath was more cooperative and shelled out his sweet...

Happy 2015, Verity!

We'd like to take a moment to wish our Verity family a very Happy New Year! May it be a prosperous and memorable one. As we enter our 12th year as a guild together we want to thank you for your friendship and for making Verity so special. We're looking forward to...

New Website Launched!

So, it's a bit overdue especially considering many of you heard me talking about the new site in the works when summer was just on the horizon, however, now that New Year's is upon us I think it goes without saying I got a little sidetracked. But the new Verity...

Tectus dusted ~ Twin Ogron pulverized

We finally managed to field a 100% Verity raid group for Highmaul on Tuesday, and were able to learn and successfully defeat both Tectus and the Twin Ogron. The battle with Tectus was intense and anything but clean, but in classic Verity fashion victory was stolen...

Kargath and The Butcher Down! We’re Back!

After the WoW servers didn't cooperate with us on Tuesday, the first Verity raid in what seems like forever (how many years?) dropped two bosses in Highmaul on Thursday. Grats to Drubie, Shab's Bro, Eri, Wolf, Chyster, and anyone else who got loot! We're still waiting...

Happy New Year, Verity!

As we enter into yet another new year we’d like to wish all our members a Happy New Year and all the best in 2013! Verity will mark its 10th year anniversary this summer although it seems like only yesterday when we first assaulted Karazhan with our competing teams of “This” and “That.”

Teron Gorefiend Dies

Teron Gorefiend was taken down last night during our first night of attempts. It took a bit of time for everyone to get the hang of defeating their constructs and to ensure their macros were correct, but in the end we prevailed. Teron makes the 4th Black Temple boss...

1, 2, 3 Down in BT

Gruul Dies!

Gruul's Lair cleared!  'Nuff Said! Maulgar and Gruul both perished last night in what can only be described as a big fat spanking with a football bat. Verity strikes again! Fantastic teamwork, everyone! Maulgar Loot: Cementtruck - Pauldrons of the Fallen Champion,...

Nightbane, Netherspite

Tonight, Kara team "That" took down Nightbane and Netherspite in one fell swoop. Kara has now been officially cleared by Verity! Super nice work, everyone! Next on the list: Mr. Gruul. We'll be working on him next week, so stay tuned to see his mug kissing the dirt...
