Goodbye to the Burning Crusade

We have come a long long way from the early days of Karazhan, through Serpent Shrine Cavern and Tempest Keep, to Black Temple and Mount Hyjal via Zul’Aman and finally onwards to Sunwell Plateau. I speak for all the officers when I say you have come further and faster than we ever dared to hope, and we have all seen bosses that we thought we might only see in videos.

Every raider, villager, class leader and officer should be very proud of what we have achieved as a guild, how we have gone from wiping for 6 months on Vaelastrasz in the old world to facing Vashj, Kael’thas and Illidan with confidence.

While we never did get the Twins, we have passed the gear and coordination checks of Kalecgos and Brutallus before the nerfs. We end the Burning Crusade ranked 5th on server and 3rd on Horde side.

Wrath of the Lich King holds many new and interesting raiding challenges and we will be there to face them.

Hellebore - your backwards walking tree

Shadow Wolves prove stronger than ever before

This is post nerf but you still need to get the standing and dispelling right, as well as the breath calls, well done Taz on that.

Shadow Wolves pass the gear check

After some warming up, some gearing up the odd respec as well as the first raid in nearly 6 months that we had to call we got everything right and kill the overgrown Pit Lord. We were just getting there with juicing up but the pit lord sort of died before we started pulling all the stops out.

Kill the demon, save the dragon

After 2 weeks of being very very close, and a slight case of OMFG enrage *panic* we saved the dragon, with a near perfect kill. Many thanks to those that respeced or switched to healer alts to make the group work.

Retro raiding

While we are working on our first kill in Sunwell we decided to go back and visit some of the past glories and failures of Shadow Wolves

Having never managed to kill Nefarian in Black Wing Lair, we went back and fixed that little oversight

Well you can’t kill a whole lair full of dragons and leave the brood mother alive can you?

A few weeks before this we had teamed up with Monsters Inc, The Khalasar and Angelic OutKasts to clear Naxxramas and kill Kel’Thuzad for what I think was the first time on Dragonblight, also gratz to Necroville on his [Mark of the Champion] just what every lock needs a bit more damage on demons :)

First Warglaive!

Last night on Shadow Wolves 2nd ever kill of Illidan we dropped our first [Warglaive of Azzinoth] the item went to Oglarp our warrior class leader, who became a “wow rock star” for the next 15 minutes in shatt :)

Hard hard luck to Tharyl the only other candidate for the item

We are prepared!

After 2 nights of solid progress, and a few wipes close to 10% we got the Lord of Outland

The pictures aren’t really up to the normal standard of silliness because everyone hearthed out to get tuxs, fireworks, ogre suits but the body despawned :(

Shadow Wolves give Archimonde the finger

After ignoring him for a while we went back into Hyjal and after some solid goes, a bit of bullying about dying we got him down with a perfect kill

Shadow Wolves get lucky, Council down

After an 8% wipe last week (we hit the enrage timer) this week everyone managed to figure out “don’t stand in the god damn AoE” and we won with 5 minutes to spare.

Council down

Always a pleasure, Mother Shahraz down

After figuring out that shadow res was all this fight needed we kitted everyone out in some lovely tasteful greens and downed her on the 3rd try of the night
