Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group for completing 11/12 Hardmodes and for obtaining our 25-man sexyDrakes. You all did a fantastic job beating up Putricide and Sindragosa and, the week after, nearly one-shotting every achievement that we were required to do. Hopefully we'll never have to see a damn Vile Spirit again! Keep up the good work and stick through the difficult summer blues so we can come back stronger than ever in September!

We are currently recruiting:

1x Disc

1x Aff or 1x Demo

1x Marksman

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group for completing 10/12 Hardmodes this past week! After a couple of long nights of wiping and reconstructing our strategy, we managed to down Sindragosa-H and gave Putricide-H several fantastic attempts; within our 4th attempt, we beat him down to 6%. We'll have him down within the next week, and we'll celebrate by getting Teeze her Legendary (eh-eh!). Keep up the good work, everyone. Heroic-LK is within sight.

Next : Putricide-H

We are currently recruiting:

1x Disc

1x Aff or 1x Demo

1x Marksman

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group for completing 9/12 Hardmodes this past week (April 20-22nd). It was the first time that we actually devoted a night to working on Deathwhisper-H, and we managed to kill her within roughly 2-2 1/2 hours, so fantastic job on picking up the fight with such ease. Our kill was somewhat sloppy, with the ghosts not much liking the melee and tanks, but we still managed to pull through and get our second wing achievement for hardmodes.

Next : Sindragosa-H

We are currently recruiting:

1x Shadow

1x Aff 1x Demo

1x Holy

1x Mut (or Combat)

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Great job these past few weeks, Conviction. This Tuesday and Wednesday (April 6-7) we managed to knock out several Hardmodes, despite our new additions to the Roster. Two-shot Blood-Queen-H and Rotface-H with ease and got Saurfang to 3-4% on Tuesday night. Next week, we'll shoot for 9/12 HM! Keep up the great work.

We are currently recruiting:

1x Shadow

1x Aff 1x Demo

1x Protection

1x Marks

1x Mut

A HUGE Congratulations to Conviction and Conviction's 25-man Raid Group for downing 25-man Lich King last night (March 3, '10). With our last attempt of the night, we managed to get our shit together and had a perfect p1 to p3, including transitions. A flawless attempt until roughly 20% and everyone began to freak out - hehe. Even so, we pushed him to 10% and got our wonderous 25-man Lich King achievements and a couple of upgrades.

Good tanks: 1
Bugged encounter: 0

I guess having good tanks magically makes "bugged" encounters disappear.

On a side note, congratulations to the following people (see image below) who made Top World on our epic Patchwerk kill:

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 10-man Raid Groups (Group 1 and Group 2) on downing The Lich King (Arthas) this past weekend. It took us several attempts to get the positioning correct in both groups, but we all managed to pull through and got some nice, new, shiny titles. Conviction the Kinglayers! Get ready for a 25-man LK kill this week!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Dreamwalker and Sindragosa! Unfortunately, I do not yet have a kill shot of Dreamwalker (I am waiting on it), but the above is a kill shot of Sindragosa with the new winning logo made by Tore.

We had a rough week with the abundance of lag issues and disconnects, but we managed to clear up to Sindragosa on Tuesday and downed her this past Wednesday after several attempts of putting up with the lag and working with it the best that we could. We managed to get to phase 2 on the LK, but ran out of time to work in a strategy best fit for our raid composition.

Keep it up, Conviction! We'll get LK down soon and start progressing through Hardmodes.

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Blood Prince Council and Blood-Queen Lana'thel! Unfortunately for us, the first week of their release, we had a very odd bug due to a hard reset on Queen and were unable to get adequate attempts on her by the time a GM answered our petition. Thankfully, however, we managed to get her down the following week within several attempts. You all did a fantastic job keeping up with the enrage timer. A big kudos to the healers for keeping their minds clear throughout the entire raid! You all did wonderful, including the tanks (hehe).

Above are both of the screenshots with an additional special encounter with the Blood Queen's step-sister, Hogger. Unfortunately, we were unable to down her as we were much too exhausted by the end of the night; we could not stand to shoot additional loads after continuously riding Queen's ass for several hours. Amarie gladly took one for the team; much endurance in this one.

Keep it up, Conviction!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Putricide on January 14th! It took us several attempts to get the positioning down, but you all pulled together quickly to get shit done. I am incredibly pleased. Now, to quote the one and only Tore - hahaha oops - (and to stroke our epeens even more):

"We're world 711th. At the moment we're sitting at Realm 6th, Horde 3rd, behind JDW and GC. That's a nice accomplishment, imo. [...] Another interesting thing, (again, at the time of this post,) the combined effect of both us and AfterLife downing Professor Putricide last night bumped Korgath up 4 spots on US realm rankings, bringing the server to US #5 from US #9."

This is something to be very proud about, Conviction. World 711th and US 378. Lets push the next content even harder to put us further up the grapevine. Cheers.

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Festergut and Rotface! You all did a fantastic job keeping it together over the Christmas Holidays. I applaud you. Congratulations to everyone on their new loot and to Leeroye for commencing his legendary crafting. Keep up the fantastic work, ladies and gentlement.

A big Thank You to Drzoidberg for frapsing our Saurfang kill last night and adding the new Guild Theme song! If you would like the video in full view, please go to the following link: Conviction 25-man Saurfang Video

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Gunship Battle and Deathbringer Saurfang! Oddly enough, Saurfang was the easiest boss that we had encountered through ICC this past week, downing him with complete ease. Unfortunately, however, he bugged out after his death, leaving us with no loot for the night. Blizzard managed to respond after two days and loot has been awarded to the following players: Paxil, Voltage, Teeze. Congratulations on our first tokens!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 25-man Raid Group on downing Lord Marrowgar and Lady Deathwhisper! It took us several attempts to perfect our strategies, but we managed to work out the kinks with moderate ease and killed 2/4 bosses after the initial Blizzard instance mishap that cost us ~2 hours of raid time. Good job, everyone!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 10-man Raid Group on downing Algalon! Fortunately for us, the encounter was much too easy for our group and we downed him within a few attempts on the 25th of October. We are now showing off our new, sexy Starcaller titles.

Congratulations to Conviction's core 25-man Raid Group on downing Thorim, General Vezax and Yogg -1 hardmodes on October 22nd on our Block gear farming night. All of the hardmodes were downed within 2-4 tries after a series of repositioning and re-evaluating the raid setup(s). Good job, everyone!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Conviction's 10-man group for getting the Tribute to Insanity achievement this past week. Jub was lucky enough to win the mount and Leeroye got a nice, new cloak. It was all well deserved. Lets get in there and do this the same every week!

Unfortunately, however; we were unable to down Algalon this week but managed to get him to the 20% mark before the night was over. We have him next week, for sure. Keep up the great work.

After Drzoidberg was eagerly checking the WOL parses from our previous weeks of attempts, he came across the top statistics for ToGC (Heroic) 25-man content. To our discovery, Conviction has made the #13th mark for Heroic Northrend Beasts.. in the world. You guys fucking rock!

Love, Love, Love.

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations and a job well done to Convictions 25-man Core Raid on downing Lord Jaraxxus, Faction Champs and Twin Val'kyr on Heroic mode this past week (October 6th-8th). You all did a fantastic job learning the fights so quickly and getting content down with moderate ease. Lets hope that we can master the Anub fight just as quickly (wtbblockset).

Keep up the great work, Conviction!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to our 10-man TotC-heroic group for downing Anub'arak on the second attempt and receiving the Tribute to Skill achievement (41 attempts left, so close!). Let's get back in the next week and clear it with +45 attempts left.

Also, a huge Congratulations to the Conviction core 25-group for downing Northrend Beasts (H) Wednesday night after a long night of attempts. Unfortunately, we weren't able to down Jaraxxus on Thursday night but got him to 20%. We will get them down this coming week!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Since setting foot into Ulduar Hardmodes, Conviction has managed to take out (4/9) with ease. 4T Flame Leviathan, XT-Deconstructor, Hodir and IC (Steelbreaker last). Unfortunately, due to Blizzards mishap this past week, we were unable to work on Thorim hardmode as he was contiunously evading and despawning worldwide. Thank you Blizzard!

A huge congratulations to everyone on their new Hardmode loot and a great job well done getting Iron Council (S) down on the second attempt!

Another huge congratulations goes to Convictions 10-man TotC-H group for downing Twins with ease and getting Anub to 1% (ohmyfuckinggod!) and then wiping at 40k HP. We are awesome. Regardless, we'll get him this week and gain two new achievements!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Drzoidberg Jenkins on the beautiful wedding that took place September 12th in the Court of the Sun, Silvermoon. Teeze, looking absolutely stunning in her ivory wedding dress, exclaimed,

"The ceremony was beautiful! So many of our friends and family, even those from cross-servers, came to celebrate our love. We were even surprised to see the other faction, Alliance, travel to the far away Blood Elf lands to greet us with encouraging words and congratulations throughout the entire service. It was a pleasure to see so many new and old faces within the crowd, and we are absolutely thankful to those who attended this joyous event. May Mu'sha bless them all with good luck and fortune in the future Azeroth years to come."

We thank all of those who attended the wedding ceremony, and those who made this event incredibly worthwhile for the entire server. We appreciate you.

~Conviction

What a Tuesday! First, Blizzard takes down the servers for an extended maintanance for an additional four hours after the scheduled server restarts. Then by the time that our raid formed, we were getting mass amounts of lag and could barely down the first boss in TotC 25. Thankfully, the servers pulled through, along with our Raiders, and we one-shot everything up to Anub'arak. A few attempts of repositioning later and we had Anub'arak down; congratulations to everyone on their new gear and trophies!

According to wowprogress, our Conviction 10-man group got the World 9th first kill for Northrend Beasts hardmode! Thank you to everyone who stayed behind to put in that extra hour or two of effort after the scheduled raid time to get this new achievement down. Congratulations to everyone on their new loot, it was well deserved - we will be seeing more hardmode bosses fall within this next week, so be prepared!

~Phamish/Teeze GM of Conviction

You all did an amazing job this past week, clearing all relevant content by Wednesday!

While it may have taken us this long to finally down Yogg as a complete guild, especially over the summer with everyones' attendance issues across the entire server, you all definitely pulled through and had an awesome one-shot kill this week. Only the best guilds prevail through rough times.

Lets kick some Anub ass next week and get some hardmodes down.
