Instance# 35 and #36 Five bosses down in three weeks = amazing!

We had a heck of a Friday night last week, as far as trying out new things in WoW. After the 2.4 patch was released a month ago, the necessity of killing two of the most difficult and tricky raid bosses in the game had been removed. A ton of guilds had completed 6/7 of Serpentshrine Cavern and 3/4 of Tempest Keep, but Vashj and Kael’Thas were left in the surge into Mount Hyjal and Black Temple – the last and hardest raid instances in the game (hey let’s not include The Sunwell, as it’s only new). Our raid leader is of the mindset that if you can’t kill the Tier 5 bosses that I just mentioned, how on earth would you be able to down the Black Temple guys, so he suggested as a matter of pride that we shouldn’t skip and we should tough it out. So, as per my last WoW post, once we downed Lady Vashj a month back, there was a surge of interest in having a look at Hyjal.

So, on Friday we went in there for the first time, AND ONE-SHOTTED THE FIRST THREE BOSSES. At the end of the night, I had drunk 4 beers and all the bosses seemed the same – because in Hyjal, you fight 8 waves of minions before the boss arrives on the scene. A lot of people consider the waves to be harder than the bosses. I’m not going to explain the fights, except that they were fairly straightforward if you knew what to look out for. Here are the screenshots.

EDIT: 4th MH boss down, and 1st boss of Black Temple downed before a bunch of our regular raiders (McStabbystab, Veldor, Admetre, Smallock, Serein, Cruzz, Humus) left to join a high-end raiding guild on Thuarissan called (terribly) The Lovenasium. Darn. Nagentus we downed with only 1 raid member (Admetre) left alive. It provided much amusement on the night.
