Congrats Farna on finishing the set!

After picking up the first OH a few months ago, our luck finally turned for the better and our first MH dropped tonight. 

Tanks are currently weeping for the agro they’ll have to hold now, and mages have collapsed knowing they’ll never touch the top of the meters.

So our trip through Sunwell begins, next up: got dps?

Loot:
[Bracers of the Forgotten Vanquisher]: Allev
[Bracers of the Forgotten Vanquisher]: Astrylian
[Bracers of the Forgotten Vanquisher]: Kylista
[Breeches of Natural Aggression]: Kylista

Gotta love that triple vanquisher, eh?

What an epic fight this is, definitely worth the work we went through to down him. Once everything clicks and you just start to drop him, very fun times. Thanks to everyone for showing up and getting this fight done.

I also want to especially thank our Main Tank Erren and our Flame tanks Daeros, Psysabrew and Therana for doing a great job learning this fight. Even when you did happen to wipe us - again and again. As well as thanks for all our various classes doing crowd control at the key times throughout the long fight. We wouldn’t have got this fight done without your effort and patience, thanks.

I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from our tanks:

Loot:
[Chestguard of the Forgotten Protector]: Czala
[Chestguard of the Forgotten Protector]: Nixie
[Shard of Azzinoth]: Keishin
[Memento of Tyrande]: Griftar

PS. No one was hurt in the making of this post. Aside from Daeros and Illidan that is.

We actually killed Archimonde the day after Illidan, but who wants to see Illidan get knocked down the front page after only a day? It took us longer than it should have to deal with Archimonde due to some unfortunate departures right after reaching him leaving us with limited decursers. Then with continued success in Black Temple we just didn’t bother to go back. It worked itself out in the end for us, gotta love killing Archimonde and Illidan both for the first time in the same week. It didn’t help that we had to put Eldreth on a diet so he could actually fit through the Mount Hyjal instance portals again. You try making him go on a diet sometime. I rather fight Illidan myself.

With Archimonde now defeated we have managed to finish the current content just in time for Sunwell. Leaving us a couple more weeks to gear up before we can get in there and get to work. Thanks for the great fun, work, and patience that got us through the current content everyone.

Loot:

[Helm of the Forgotten Vanquisher]: Eldreth
[Helm of the Forgotten Vanquisher]: Xoxiric
[Bristleblitz Striker]: Czala
[Leggings of Eternity]: Raiena

So after making short work of the Illidari Council (no kill shot because someone likes to talk to Akama early) we finally got to move on to the demon himself. Sadly I need to inform you that we had to put Keishin down for good this weekend. He was infected with a deadly parasite during our most recent battle with no known treatment. I know how you all must feel. We all here at Exile mourn this great loss as well.

With the holidays over we are once again looking for a few more people to help fill out our raid force. If you are one of the classes below and think you would make a good fit with us drop an application on our forums.

Druid: 1 (Resto)
Mage: 1
Paladin: 1 (Holy)
Priest: 1 (Circle of Healing)
Rogue: 1 (Combat)
Shaman: 1 (Elemental)
Warlock: 1 (Destro)

Another boss down on our trip to pay Illidan a visit. Gotta love the lack of resist fights in TBC eh? If I never see another Heart of Darkness it’ll still be too soon. We proved to Blizzard we haven’t forgotten how to farm resist gear at the least right?

Loot:
[Pauldrons of the Forgotten Protector]: Zakharovich
[Pauldrons of the Forgotten Protector]: Profian
[Tome of the Lightbringer]: Psysabrew

Okay, so it isn’t the best entry title I’ve ever thought of. It was either this or something involving a lot of “amgs” and buttsex, though; just be thankful for what ya got.

RoS is a pretty complex fight, but luckily it’s far more repeatable and predictable than certain other bastards. Apparently the fight itself and the dude’s huge face-protector-thing weren’t nearly enough to save ‘em, as we dropped this fool after only a handful of attempts.

The drops are nice and all, but I REALLY just want to be in RoS. I mean, you know, in his giant headcover thing. Imagine all the fun I could have in that, rolling all around like a greased up hamster in Keishin’s pants. *sigh*

Eldreth! ELDRETH! Get out of his eye, you don’t know where that’s been!

Following momma’s advice on how to properly treat infections and other problematic wounds, Exile was able to permanently remove Bloodboil from his disgusting little throne. Of blood. And boils. Erm.

What advice was that, you ask? Well, naturally- we rubbed some dirt in it. “It” in this case, referring to his face and the dirt nap we encouraged him to take. I never want to take a nap when I’m sick either, but man; I usually give up before I’m the victim of fireballs and shit. Argumentative little bastard.

Modern science reveals that whenever a new boss dies, a Pally gets their wings. Actually, all of them get wings. It’s pretty annoying.
