Tonight the guild stepped up to the latest challenge that ToC Had to offer, The Twin Val’kyr which seemed like daunting task to defeat. After ten attempts and three the previous week vanquish learned to Ikaruga, collecting the right colour balls and defeating the twins. Congratulations to everyone that participated in getting the server first and the DPS who managed to get in the top 20 world for best dps and several in the top five US. Wish I was there well done.

Twin Val’kyr
Loot:
Wail of the Val’kyr – Pelinal
Sabatons of Ruthless Judgment – Desperada
Trophy of the Crusade – Kelevrä
Legplates of Ascension – Zan

So what else is there to do besides farming raid content over and over and over? Raid achievements, that’s what! After getting a strategy down that worked for us earlier in the week, we came back from the weekend break and one-shot Sartharion with all three of his drakes up on pull to earn our pretty new titles. I’m assuming we’ll now be moving on to more and more raid achievements just to keep things interesting. Stay tuned.

My my, what a busy week this was (so far!!) Only the second Friday after the release of Wrath and we clear Naxxramas as soon as we had enough level 80s to do it, and a server first to boot!

It was a lot of fun, even though I was falling asleep through run backs on Four Horsemen. Twice I actually woke up to hear “OMG Malki wake up!” and Doms even had to shake me awake once (hah!). Sapphiron was a blast, and not having to wear frost resist gear is a big plus. Kel’Thuzad was amazing… mostly because it was my first, even though the guild has done it many times pre TBC and post TBC. I always missed it, so it was extra fun for me.

Sometimes I just can’t believe how bad our luck is. I mean, we’ve been farming Illidan for HOW LONG without more than a handful of glaives? Maybe it was the universe trying to maintain the balance of karma; I don’t know. But what I do know is that the third time was a charm on Kil’Jaeden, and tonight Bullmax walked away with the big prize. Sure, it would have been sweeter pre-nerf, but I think this kinda made up for all the nights of struggle when we just couldn’t get the raid comp to give M’Uru (let alone KJ) a swift boot in the ass.

Grats to Bullmax on the server first [item]Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury[/item]! Now you can stand around in Shattrath or Ironforge for a couple weeks before Wrath comes out and be a prime target for inspections (as if you weren’t already).

So close to WotLK release and with only a few weeks left to finish this off we were kinda stressed about getting him down I wont lie, but now we’re kinda laughing that we did SW tonight from start to server first Kil’J kill in around 3.25 hours (minus all the fucking downtime from afk’s).

Our first raid post patch went first attempt to 1% (lawl 3.5K hp’s left!) to dead 2nd attempt.  Needless to say he went down faster then Ayanami on a prom date.  The dumbing down kinda made it a joke, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t take this kill and run with it. Good job everyone and thank GOD a new front page update!
