A Tribute to Mad Skill (10 Player) was achieved this week with 47 attempts left after a couple of wipes on faction champions. Immortality shouldn't be too far arond the corner. A reminder we are recruiting 
1 x Resto Druid
1 x Resto Shaman
1 x Feral Druid (preferably a tank/dps OS.) Amazing players of other classes / specs will be considered.
 

Finally we were able to get Iron Council Hardmode down on 25man. Well done to everybody involved not just on the day, but on all the progression nights. 

With the implementation of Daylight Savings in Oceanic realms, Arcsecond now raids from 9PM AEST to 12MN AEST . This means that raids will start at the same time for those not affected by DLS, but an hour later for those affected by it. This might be subject to a slight extension if we are really close to getting something down. Although raid times have been reduced, we are still looking to push for even more progression than before, with more efficient and motivated raiding, removing the tedium of long raids while constantly striving for new boss kills in a short but efficient timespan. Similarly, Sundays have been allocated to the running of multiple 10man groups (currently TOGC), it is our belief that this will greatly aid the progress of 25man hardmodes, with many people soaking up experience in a tighter raid environment.

Essentially, raids are now Wed, Thurs, Sun and Mon from 9PM to 12MN AEST, with Sundays being allocated to 10man groups.

Arcsecond is still actively on the lookout for capable, dedicated and motivated players to join its ranks, as we aim to bolster our core group. All exceptional players are encouraged to apply, and you are expected to show a competent knowledge of your class mechanics, game mechanics as well as the content you are raiding. Currently, we have a small raiding roster that consists of minimal sitouts, while this has it advantages, it can be limiting and we would like to expand this roster while giving everybody ample raiding time. Your raid times as a trial may be sporadic at first, so seize every opportunity to show us what you can bring to our raids. We are looking to recruit all exceptionally skilled players, but we have an eye on the following:

- 1x Resto Shaman
- 1x Holy Priest
- 1x Feral Druid (preferably with a tank spec)
- 1x Resto Druid
- 1x Balance Druid

If you are applying as a DPS/healing class, remember that any WWS/WMO reports or screenshots that show you are competent at your class will go a long way. First impressions do count for a lot, and with that, good luck.

Algalon finally goes down, 9 manned after someone dc'd right from the start, but everything went perfectly and he's down, still made the enrage timer with a good minute to spare.

5/5 Trial of the Grand Crusader 10man is down. Congratulations to all involved. Now time for 25man Trial of the Grand Crusader

After some serious attempts at hard modes we got 2 down tonight, 2 shotting 4 Towers  flame levi and XT Hardmode.
