Council Ajourned! Downfall says "OHAI!" to Illidan!

garreth — Mon, 03/17/2008 - 22:53

After about a few too many wipes and vaporizing rogues, Raid: Hamfist ONE SHOTTED Illidari Council tonight:

Council No MoreCouncil No More

Warion, who's been BT attuned for less than 24 hours, came in and did an incredible job.  Thank you!

Loot!
[item]Forest Prowler's Helm[/item] to Shihli
[item]Thunderheart Leggings[/item] to Mnorthreat

Of course, Council is only just the beginning of a night like this. After loot, we engaged the Akama interlude and followed him upstairs:

Knock knockKnock knock

He runs fast for a fat kid:

Keep up with fattyKeep up with fatty

Then we ran into this random guy... you know, the guy that always has his shirt off at social gatherings.  Douche.

OHAIILLIDAN!OHAIILLIDAN!

So we made a few pulls.

It's onIt's on

We're deep into Phase 2 on our first night ever.  Read up on Illidan strats and prepare to come back for perfect execution this week.  Grats guys, we've almost beat The Burning Crusade. .. until 2.4 ;)

LF1Ham: KAEL DOWN! MANY BT ATTUNED!

garreth — Sun, 03/16/2008 - 19:50

GRATS TO THE COMBINED RAIDS OF LF1M AND HAMFIST ON THEIR FIRST KAEL KILL!

The goal was to get a lot more people attuned for Black Temple and we definitely kicked some ass. After the follow-up Rage kill, the following people are now BT attuned:

Judgedredd
Warion
Grovinski
Luchs
Ghli
Captnopants

Mavandon still needs a Vashj kill and Frollo still needs to kill Al'ar.

Loot!
[Destroyer Breastplate] to Judgedredd
[Nordrassil Chestplate] to Nuitarin
[Thalassian Wildercloak] to Luminaire
[Telonicus's Pendant of Mayhem] to Mavandon

Parses!

Huge props to Tunkh on the clutch tanking and Mendaren for hopping on Cap for us. Thanks guys, we couldn't have done it without you!

Operation: Illidari Council

garreth — Wed, 02/27/2008 - 10:08

Illidari Council: (courtesy of wowhead.com)Illidari Council: (courtesy of wowhead.com)

This is a quick heads up to BE PREPARED FOR ILLIARI COUNCIL tonight, specifically in regards to positioning and tanking.

After you have read the strat here, make sure to check out this vid for a great look at positioning and rogue tanking: http://warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=56197

An absolutely great guide to mage tanking can be found on the EJ forums: http://elitistjerks.com/644541-post258.html

Basically, our druid tank has a hell of a job picking up that rogue. The druid will have to hang out in the middle of the room in human form and spam a macro that looks something like this:

/tar Veras
/cast Moonfire

Once we have the pull down, it's a 15 minute marathon. We got this.

Edit 2/28: I was scanning the Gorg forums (don't think any less of me, please) and came across the following quote by Ratgirl. "ILLIDARI COUNCIL: THE SUPERBOWL OF NOT STANDING IN STUFF." I thought that summed it up quite well :)

Raid: Hamfist hits 8,030 Shadow Resist, Shahraz drops on 3rd shot!

garreth — Mon, 02/25/2008 - 23:57

Looks like the massive gear push these last few weeks paid off: Mother Shahraz goes down on the third pull ever in Downfall history. We haven't killed bosses that quick since BWL! Great job guys, everyone was focused and prepared.

Shahraz Down!Shahraz Down!

First Tier 6 Shoulders in guild!

[item]Pauldrons of the Forgotten Vanquisher[/item] -> [item]Slayer's Shoulderpads[/item]: Shinzwei
[item]
Pauldrons of the Forgotten Conqueror[/item] -> [item]Mantle of the Malefic[/item]: Tankard
[Leggings of Devastation]: Keisjaa

I don't think we were quite prepared enough for Illidari Council, so we have something to work on this week. Read up! WE'RE ONE BOSS AWAY FROM ILLIDAN!!
