Crueldrool could not keep away and started playing WoW in nam once again. Going back to Blackwing Lair he was easily able to defeat the dragon, but to his surprise he found a new boss taking the empty throne, the Red Tauren.
Alternatively Crueldrool lost the musical chair game. You either win or you moo.
Early nap for Yor’sahj as nam killed the second heroic boss in Dragon Soul.
Saturday, mostly on a whim, Jee wanted to go hardmode EV to see how it differed from normal. Lacking enough level 50 player for a 8 man raid we got our regular stand-in Procch and someone from the general chat. Yes, you read the last part right.
The dreadful turret start got easier once we learned the turret could be cc’d. On the first boss we ran into the enrage timer a few times until at 2% the Operation seemed to fail once again, but Jee managed to bring him down very shortly after.
We went on to the second boss, and performed better cause here we had not one, but two people left at enrage. See, improvement!
The puzzle boss was pretty easy for a hardmode fight. The challenge was waiting for the other side to finish 😉 The remaining encounter was done on the second attempt once the positioning was corrected.
After the operation was complete we started on the project pink lightsaber, but got distracted by a datacron
Remember this guy?
We started the raid lockout on 4.3 on Thursday and cleared up to and including the new boat encounter. Sunday we were able to ride the back despite Deathwing’s best attempt to barrel roll. On the last Deathwing encounter we ran into trouble with the Cataclysm with the setup we had. Thanks to the cute Tauren Alysanne for helping us out on Sunday.
Due to computer trouble we were one tank down and had to redo the raid compostion drafting in the M.I.A. druid Runningfree. Some nice dual healing by Jaelin and Fisteh made for a shorter fight with our priest Marijana reaching for her shadow powers.
After a couple of warm ups we entered second phase , but were one dps down and had to start over. Some more attemps and Deathwing was finally down. Azeroth is safe again until next expansion when the Pandas mess things up!
Sunblazer got Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps
Schnaps got Blade of the Unmaker
On Thursday nam managed to kill Ragnaros despite Schnaps missing! Or maybe…. no nevermind. Having mastered the art of assigning and counting it was pretty easy. Never knew you could bounce meteors either, neat!
Doug was cheated out of Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor, damn trolls!
Runningfree got Helm of the Fiery Vanquisher.
Ds got Choker of the Vanquished Lord.
