Premonition gets World Third - Alone in the Darkness

Premonition of Sen'jin (US) grabbed the world third achievement an hour or so ago.
This kill was a long time coming. We were working on it for weeks (months?) and theorycraft began ages ago. All of the silly forum threads and "math" that proved it impossible were quite obviously not even close to accurate.
The progression phases a raid goes through on this fight while learning are just amazing. From how to keep ahead in phase 2, maximizing stun times, getting all corruptors down, then dealing with mob handling in phase 3... with your tanks having extremely limited time, sanity, and tons of pressure to even figure out what they have to do to maximize efficiency, while your DPS is trying to not lose their own sanity while the boss is killed.
The strategies we went through and brainstormed were pretty damn bizarre at times (rogues sprint kiting, priest fade kiting, warlock demonic teleport kiting), all seemed insane. We settled for a split strategy which required insane AOE dps to pull off successfully, and that's where the summertime + holidays showed up!
It was an absolute blast, Blizzard truly designed something marvelous here, and we were very excited to know it wasn't going to be nerfed after all (reducing the number of beacons that go out would really ruin the complexity and ways to handle phase 3).
Great job by everyone in guild, and our members who couldn't be there, and especially our trials who stuck it out. Much respect to STARS and Paragon.
Video will be coming, frostmage/tank PoV.
Can't wait for the video!

Congratulations to them.
I'd seriously like to refer anyone who still thinks its a race between Ensidia and US or EU/US or anything of the variation to this.
Proves that a lot more dedicated guilds are there to shine, and WoW isn't lead by 2 or 3 guilds at the top. Also, US/EU/TW debate is senseless squabbling.
Lastly I'd like to congratulate Blizzard... Everyone feared Blizzard will commercialize the game by solely focusing on low game content... When you got top guilds wiping 500 times to kill a boss in 3 different strategies, you can see the complexity of this fight and yet the totally viable kills. Yogg +0 is said by all 3 guilds who have killed them to be the hardest content yet. This is why Blizzard can sell games, they have got the best of the best working for them, and cater to every person in the game.
Thank God, someone who actually sees the light of day.

Is it really necessary to post every time some guild does something for the first, second, etc. time?

Yeah, I sort of agree that these couple of kills prove that just because you poop in a sock doesn't mean you're a WoW hero. Ensidia's only edge is that they play WAY TOO MUCH, and when it came to a boss where they couldn't just brute force their way through, they threw in the towel.
Algalon was designed to be beaten by the majority of guilds who attempted him given enough attempts, while Yogg +0 really looks like he's designed only for those who are truly good, and that's the difference - ensidia is just another guild, they just spend more time than others.

Gorefiend, don't bother. He just hates those that choose to spend their time playing the game because it's their hobby and they unlike most of us enjoy spending vacation to get to the end first. He's been bashing half the people on Wowhead who think that the 3.2 changes make things a bit too easy and much of a grind, as opposed to just providing an intelligent response.
TheMediator's basically just mad because he doesn't wanna put in the effort and still get the same loot, a tenet of every mmo, and so he's bashing people who actually do know their class, and beat all of these guilds when it comes to boss world firsts (not achievements) due to not just time but skill (as shown by the Alagon kill).

That's quite a jump.
Yeah, I sort of LoL @ those who think people are "mad" for thinking that someone else is bad and trying to cover up their fail. No one would care about ensidia failing if it wasn't for the fact that they were running their mouth and I get a kick out of baddies get pwnt.

Man you suck at posting.
It was your little YankBuddies Exodus who ran their mouth off and got 'pwnt' as you so succinctly put it. I know it hurt you a little bit inside but it sounds like you are used to being touched that way.
and I get a kick out of baddies get pwnt.
Hmm, my translator has failed on that one. Can anyone dual-specced into moron translate it?
LoL. No, ensidia got %^&*ing raped, Exodus are bad too but I don't think exodus said they legitly did it ever, they just didn't say they didn't do it legitly, whereas ensidia was running their mouth saying its impossible and they're not going to even try but they're still the number one guild, which is false. And seriously, your fanboy way too hard. you are not ensidia, so their "achievements" (lol) don't make you less of a piece of crap.
