After a few more learning experiences on Nefarian last week, we came to BWL determined to make this week ‘third try’s the charm’. Armed with a new strategy, we warmed up our pew-pew and plink-plink (the hunter version of pew-pew) and got ready to give Nef the beating of his life. Did you know that wiping at 1% on Nefarian is really quite bad for the blood pressure? Next try we proved it was not a fluke, and replicated our efforts — right down to our MT disconnecting at the Phase 3 transition on both attempts and still managing to hold agro while offline. Now that’s tanking talent. Now we knew what expect, though, we carried it over the line and dropped Nef with a sweet, clean kill – no bodies on the ground except Nef’s, in fact! Congratulations to Causes on the Judgement chest, making him our first fully-T2-geared raider, and our MT Holli on the Wrath chest. Congrats also to Teh Isra on Mish’undare… just a pity some poor hunter felt obliged not to let loot from our first Nef kill be sharded, even if that meant taking Therazane’s Link. Wear it with pride, Nins, and pretend you’re a shaman! After we danced with glee for a while, we found ourselves with a few hours yet to kill — so it was off to AQ40 for our very first look into the place. New content is always fun, and AQ40 is very fresh and interesting after MC and BWL raids. Our best effort for the night was 45% on the Prophet Skeram, AQ40’s first poss, and hopefully...

After last week’s unexpected success with Chromaggus we returned, primed for battle and full of determination and Hourglass Sand. (That stuff scratches.) Unfortunately Tasmania’s internet connection seemed to be on the fritz tonight – maybe someone was trying to run the toaster at the same time – so several of our most dedicated raiders were in and out more often than a hyperactive rabbit. Despite this, Chromaggus fell in the face of Wardens-style determination, grit, and animal...

Originally posted by Simtr. AQ20 has been a side project while we focus on BWL with our casual raid style, so it was fantastic to finally drop a new boss on Friday night, Ossirian the Unscarred. Took us about 4-5 wipes I think to finally get it all down and I’d have to say, was probably one of the more fun fights I’ve been involved with. Great for team work and moving around as a group. So that now only leaves us with one boss in AQ20 that we haven’t killed. A lot of raiders are working on NR gear so we can give Ayamiss the Hunter a good run for his money and get this zone teabagged, SW...

Originally posted by Simtr. Following on from an incredible week in BWL (Hi, Chromie 3%, 5% and 11% on Timelapse first ever attempts) the raid force from Southern Wardens laid absolute waste to MC. Full clear in a guild record 3 hours and 15 minutes! Having 45 mins up our sleeves, it was decided to go along and pwn up some BWL with the fresh instance. Razorgore was despatched smoothely with Holli breaking all the eggs for the first time. Not being a guild to call it quits, we decided to reload and have a shot at Vael. Sadly, 2% was as far as we got being a few people short. But this still gives us an extra 30-40mins of BWL time this weekend. We should be taking our first shots at Nef on Monday night, looking forward to...

Originally posted by Alla. In their continuing efforts to abate global warming trends, Southern Wardens has slain Ebonroc and Flamegor. Squaring off against the annoying Time-lapse breath of Chromaggus, three attempts landed near victories (less than 10% health remaining) against the mutant puppy from hell. Go pies! In other news – Nefarian is LF39 more to raid the Wardens on their next attempt....

originally posted by Simtr and whip Broodlord Lashlayer we did… Our first real night of solid attempts on him, he went down on the fourth try. Big credit goes again to the healer tea for this fight you guys did a fantastic job to adapt and swing changes to keep the tanks up. I think we only had the two deaths on the kill. Awesome work by Verlyna and Holli pulling the supression room and a huge thanks to the rogue team, who go sight unseen and do a well coordinated job on all the supression traps. Night ended with a typical Warden-like move, where Firemaw was pulled accidently by a couple of nameless tanks :P But, we’ll be back next week to add Firemaws corpse to our growing list of Blackwing Lair...
