After another shortened raiding week due to the Super Bowl, we downed the Reliquary of Souls, or the Essence of Souls, or Essence of Anger, or as I called it "Ross the Boss". Time to wrastle us up some Hearts.

Well this guy took more attempts than Gorefiend, but thats not saying much. The magic number for Hat, 5 total attempts, took this guy down. We lost a raiding day on Sunday due to instance server downtime, otherwise we probably would have kept our three week streak of two new bosses per week. With the servers back up on Monday, we started working on Reliquary of Souls, and got it to Phase 3 / 40%, so look for three hats on that thing soon.

Two new bosses last week, two new bosses this week. After some hard work on Archimonde, we got him down. Despite some random shenanigans like Aran-stye circular doomfire flame wreaths of burning death, I really enjoyed this fight. It was a fitting endboss for a unique zone (although I remember the WC3 map being a bit less intense). I'm really happy with our raid group right now including so many new members.

After Archi, we decided to get our first attempts at one of the supposedly 'harder' BT bosses, and our server's namesake, Teron Gorefiend. He died in three pulls, under the knife of some insane raid DPS. The fight is a joke; I'm gonna transfer to the Archimonde server. On an ironic note, still no BT/Hyjal tank loot, but our two MTs have Catacylsm's Edge and Soul Cleaver now (pictured at the bottom).

Hat is back in action with two fresh Hyjal kills after another recruitment/rebuildng break. We had a bit of a tank shakeup around Thanksgiving that left us looking to replace every raiding warrior and feral druid in Hat (along with some other classes). After a little over a month of heavy recruitment and re-keying in T5 content, we are back on the scene. Our new members have risen to the challenge and are now an integral part of the Hat team.

After spending about a week getting up to speed on our previous T6 kills in Hyjal and BT, we moved on to new challenges. Once his trash was cleared, Kaz'rogal put a hat on after exactly one attempt. Next up was Azgalor, who took his place on the ground on the fifth try. Available strategies and videos make these fights pretty simple to learn and execute.

After a short break from T6 raiding to attend the wedding of one of our members in Paris, France, we got back into the swing of raiding in typical Team-Awesome style with four first-kills in two days. Anetheron died on the first pull of the day and High Warlord Naj'entus was laying in a pile of BT sewage shortly thereafter. On our next raid, we pushed into BT to kill Supremus and then wiped by repeatedly double-pulling Shade's "arena team" trash more times than we did to him.

Good job to our veteran raiders and our new members alike. I hear BT steps up in difficulty now, so I'm looking forward to the more challenging fights, although we're probably going to spend some time wrapping up Hyjal now.

Great to have this guy down after lots of hard work.

Also, we zoned into Hyjal with 23 people and oneshotted Rage Winterchill on our first attempt ever. Thanks Bosskillers!

I was expecting the WARLOCK boss to take more than five pulls to learn and kill. But everyone knows 5 is the magic number for Hat. 55555

We did our first day of attempts against Kael'thas, which is a pretty awesome encounter. We made some good progress on a fight that requires a lot of progress to beat, so next week we hope to fine tune P2 and P3 and push towards the home stretch.

Big Bird bites it. A fun, easy encounter.

We're like the Iron Chefs of pounding Vashj.

September 3, 2007

Leo and Morogrim hit the dirt this week, so we're on to Vashj.

Enjoy the new website. I noticed that parts of it look crappy in IE, so if that bothers you, get Firefox.

None of us had fought this guy before, and five pulls later we hung our hat on him.
