With a little help from our friends at UF and HC, Southern Wardens continued the relentless push into the Molten Core.

Night one saw Lucifron, Magmadar, Gehennas, Garr and Baron Geddon all get the slapping they richly needed. Not a bad night. Lots of nice paladin, druid and warlock gear drops as well as some nice stuff for tanks. No speed records were set on the night but solid straightforward ass-kickin was delivered. This was the first night we had attempted to move past Gehennas and was a big test. With good planning and excellent execution we managed to not only down all five bosses on the night on our first attempts, we also finished the night without at wipe.

Night two saw us return to Molten Core intent on slapping around Shazzrah, Golemagg and Sulfuron. Fighting our way in from the ZI was a tactical decision to try and get us more chances at BoE items and crafting materials. A good plan as it turned out. We worked our way back in, and proceeded to slap down Sulfuron in textbook fashion. Actually I think I saw Verlyna using a textbook at one one stage. On to Golemagg where again we engaged in a perfect slaying. We then headed back to Shazz. Yeah I know, usually you do Shazz on the way to Sulf and Gole … we felt like something different.

Shazz was interesting. No wipes and a nice clean kill. But the prelude was a blast. We had repops between us and Shazz. No matter, we dealt with them and moved it on up.

Next week we will be working in further. Domo is the target and trying to get ready for a shot at Ragnaros.

Thanks again to our friends at UF and HC, seeyas next week!

Only one boss in the way to Hakkar

Some awesome Zul’Gurub progress this week saw us take down Snake, Bat and Bloodlord (Whoa, talk about one heck of a fight!) on Wednesday then back it up Thursday night with Spider (1st go, one or two deaths I think!), Tiger (Second go) and some solid attempts for the first time on Panther boss.

I think we have our strat for Panther pretty down now and we were only missing two dps classes for the last attempt where we got him to 8%. He will go down next week for sure and we’ll be seeing Hakkar for the first time as a guild!

For lewts, Marshalrex got Warblade of the Hakkari and Verlyna finally got the Primal Hakkari Kossack for her BP.

Majordomo Executus submits to the might of SW

Fast moving start to our Monday night MC raid had us dropping Shazzrah first go even with noob tank Wocca trying to hold agro. A slight set back with some uncharacteristic wipes on Sulfuron then dropping Golemagg first shot had us setup for our third attempt at Majordomo Executus. Isra bought the raid to a silence (without any teabagging) while he laid out the carefully planned strat, flares were used to mark out off-tank locations before we put out the last rune to summon Majordomo Executus and his 8 minions.

The last few attempts we’d had didn’t end very well, usually time beat us and patience wore thin, this time there was a quiet certaintly about the job we all had to do. Mages were paused on their sheep buttons whilst dreaming of those lush New Zealand pastures, OT’s finished polishing their swords and all had their targets lined up ready to go. Isra made the call and Sayyun”Rambo”tow ran in to pester the Domo army then cheekily shield and run back to the raid. Team Hunter had their targets and pulled to the OT’s cleanly.

Vikos the Virile pulled Majordomo to the green tank in Wocca who immediately found himself dancing on red hot coals in the pit of Majordomo’s fire. Climbing out and grabbing a heal from Eolhelyanwe and Wellard Wonker enabled him to pursue and taunt Majordomo back.

The other part of the battle had Voluptuous Verlyna changing targets and focussing the attacks on the kill order, healers, elites all were dropped by her fierce mangina-like swordswomanship. As the targets dropped a confidence grew in the group until the battle haze wore off and Majordomo Executus was left begging for his life.

Grats to the guys on another first boss kill! We may be trailing other guilds but we’re making good steady progress, getting geared up and starting to really mesh as a team. Was a real buzz personally to see Domo go down, especially in our 8th official venture into MC.
