Back to Zul’Aman – Eagle Boss Down

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

We’ve been in and out of Zul’Aman a few times and downed Mr. Bear-butt. Last night we were just shy of getting Mr. Bear’s prisoner saved in the time limit. Oh well, maybe next time. We also managed to kill Akil’zon and made an attempt at Halazzi. Akil’zon isn’t hard once you figure out a good, consistent strategy. Fury from Nalorakk went to Tankin and Chestguard of Hidden Purpose from Akil’zon went to Holyrollatnt. Nice work everyone!

Doom Lord Kazzak is Dead!

Monday, November 19th, 2007

In a joint raid with Ministry of Anarchy, we killed Kazzak for the first time this evening!  Ancient Spellcloak of the Highborne and Topaz-Studded Battlegrips dropped from Kazzak. After that fun, we proceeded to clear Gruul’s Lair.  Not bad at all for a Monday before Thanksgiving!  Thanks to MoA for the idea. :)

First Night in Zul’Aman – Bear Boss Down

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Since Patch 2.3 landed and we’ve done Karazhan to death, we tried out Zul’Aman for the first time. The first boss we tried was Nalorakk, the Bear boss. We one shot him on the first attempt. Aggromagnet got some Jungle Stompers and everyone got a few Badges of Justice.

While the bear wasn’t too hard to beat, we took a beating on the trash. In general it can be summed up as “Scouts Suck.” To be able to do well we need to be able to pay attention, be on your toes and ready to hit your “Oh Shit” buttons and move where necessary. It’ll be a challenge, but hey, that’s why we’re raiding, right?

Patch 2.3 Lands!

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Update the mods, read up on Zul’Aman and start farming for those new items.  It’s Patch 2.3, baby.  Probably the most exciting thing for us is the new guild bank feature and a new 10 main raid instance.  It should be fun!

Stormwardens, meet Gruul. Gruul, meet Stormwardens.

Monday, November 5th, 2007

If you read my previous news article you can guess what I get to say now. Just around six months after Stormwardens manages to fill it’s first Karazhan run (largely in part to out of guild help), we downed Gruul. While it wasn’t a one-shot kill for the week, it was only a one attempt night. Aggromagnet held out to 13 growths, showing we still need to increase our damage output, but we only lost three people. I found it rather amusing that Gruul died from DOTs just after he sent most of the raid flying and turned them to stone, without setting off a Shatter.

Congratulations Stormwardens!
