Yepp that's it! Progress raids start again as I stated on last kill!
And this time it was Kel'Thuzad wannabe Rage Winterchill, again on a server first by Balance. With this boss down and on farm status we're now also attuned to the instance Black Temple!!!

We've had an awesome raiding week so far, with almost all SSC/TK cleared in one day plus more! Attuned a few more peeps to Hyjal and voila Rage Winterchill was oneshotted.



Nothing more need to be said. Not alot of effort needs to be put into this boss. Loots were semigood.

Grats to:

Grizzly - Tracker's Blade
Disenchanted - Rejuvenating Bracers


Then we also entered out first time in Black Temple aswell. And well 30 mins in there worth of trashpack yielded in 2 epic drops and 3 new epic gems for us!

Grats to:

Hiski - Nethervoid Cloak
Strongheart - Swiftsteel Bludgeon


More will come in a soon future!

HELLLLLLLLLL YEAH!!
OMFG!! WE frigging did it! Illidans 2nd friend and mighty lore charachter,
Kael frigging Thas - Lord of the Blood Elves - is DEAD and by Balance - Server first!!! Which means Tempest Keep cleared; all server firsts by Balance again, and the 4th end boss in a row! =)
I know you might be thinking omg bragger alert, but seriously after killing this boss you damn right deserve some bragging rights!

The boss is the hardest we've encountered in tbc yet, where focused dps and coordination is the key to the whole fight. I don't know how many variations we tried and different combinations and various raidsetups until we finally found the G-SPOT!!!

Kael'Thas has 5 phases, yes you read it correctly 5 different phases, painstaking phases if I might add. Like I said I don't know how many times we tried him, wiping for endless of hours! This encounter is also so very original as you have to put different Legendary weapons into use to execute the fight properly! To quote Hinata, "On bosses where you spend so much time, leaves a sweet taste in your mouth when it goes down" and I couldn't agree more with that. You become so relieved when bosses like the mighty lore charactar is put to rest, or was he? =)

This was also the last cockblock for us and the gateway of tuning ourselves into Mount Hyjal! Then only the first boss in there and voila Black Temple here we come!



Since palas always whine about not getting their damn wings on the pics, here, Wings für Alle! The closeup of the mighty Balance warriors!

You can't ever complain much about loots from end bosses and especially me again, but seeing as we kill it so late I did a misdemeanour, and I accdentally did it twice. =P Yeah yeah it was late and I was "shaking" and very exhillarated.


Let the progress start again!


Grats to:

Grizzly - Deathmantle Chestgaurd
Hiski - Robe of the Corruptor
Kelmu - Leggings of Murderous Intent
Order - Sunhawk Leggings
Fowl - Verdant Sphere
Strongheart - Nether Vortex
Grizzly - Scroll of the Sun

Ahh yes patch is here and we´re progressing again! One of Illidans friends is now in the past! We had to kill two new bosses as we had to make up for last reset.

This day we took Lady Vashj and Al'ar all thanks to the imba guildies of Balance, and did I mention they were both Server firsts!!! With the lady down we also upheld our streak keeping all SSC bosses on server first aswell as the third end boss server first in a row. =)



What more can I say. Lady Vashj was pre patch frigging impossible and now just beautiful. It's hard to not get yourself exhillarated when you have an end boss at low procentages. We also had our first 25 peeps loot Lady Vashj's Vial Remant, the first half of the atunement to Mount Hyjal.



As for Al'ar it kinda follows the same pattern as Lady Vashj, you need perfect execution here. Key people can't die if no SS or CR ready, but phase 1 is as easy as molten core status it gets. And phase 2 just taking care of cycles that's all.

Now we just need to kill Kael'Thas and we'll be attuned to Mount Hyjal!
And by killing Al'ar we also got alot of people done so they got the next step in atuning themselves to Black Temple! Things are deffinately looking promising now.

Loots from Vashj I personally can't complain much, and Al'ar dropped some mediocre loot for us.

From Lady Vashj gz:
Aimee - Vestments of the Sea-Witch
Cronnus - Cowl of Tirisfal
Grizzly - Deathmantle Helm
Sapphire - Serpent Spine Longbow
Abusive - 2x Nether Vortex
Grizzly - Scroll of the Maelstrom

From Al'ar gz:
Grizzly - Arcanite Steam-Pistol
Hinata - Band of Al'ar
