Sword of Azeroth

I’m really happy to see you all come back strong after the patch and dive back into raiding! This has been a great week for SoA, let’s keep it going!

The highlights of this week:

• Kara cleared in 2:32! Great fun was had by all!
• ZA cleared. Let’s see about beating those timers too. We beat 3 before the patch, 4 will be cake now.
• Lurker downed in SSC. Thank you all for my Mallet of the Tides!
• Rage Winterchill downed in MH.

Not too shabby. Let’s keep it going Guild, let’s get you all geared and ready to steamroll WotLK!

Just wanted to say what a great job you guys did and a big hand for the newest members of the team:

• Aszroth
• Catarin
• Chronius
• Kitanablade

I hope you guys had a blast and I was impressed that you all one-shot Netherspite despite his dance!

So, I think we need to face our demons (bears and trolls, oh my) and head back to ZA this week, check the calendar folks.

This has been such fun, learning this instance, learning each fight and finally getting the better of the place.

It wasn’t that long ago that we ventured into Kara, carefully working our way to Attumen, only to be wiped by trash respawns because we were too slow!

It only took us two nights to figure the Nightbane fight, that is something to be very proud of.

Lootz:

• Robe of the Elder Scribes - Sortinghat
• Ironstriders of Urgency - Thibalt

So, Zul’Aman looks like it’s going to be fun, see you all there!

Though I don’t like the position of the groups either side, some of the tips and info are very useful to know.

Hi ho, ho ho, it’s off to Prince we go…

Wow (no pun intended) guys, that was an amazing run last. You guys pulled together as a team in amazign ways and we had a great run! Though Diezel and Davehazlhoff fought hard over the football and the monkey, with a little pass interference from Sortinghat it all worked out.

I cannot emphasize enough how much easier it’ll be if you guys read up on the fights tonight. Here’s a couple of links to get you started but look around.

• Netherspite
• Prince Malchezaar

I know we got this, we always do because we don’t give up when most do!

Great run guys and when we take out Romulo & Julianne tonight we will have completed all three Opera events.

• Nethershard Girdle - Sortinghat

Consumeables:

Let’s make sure you have enough pots for the long fights lol. Leone can make a lot of the pots for you, just send her the mats and she’ll make the pots. If you’re not sure what she can make, either ask her or check dbCraft.

Homework:

Here is a great link for the strategy on Romulo & Julianne. There are some good tips to look over. We have this down, we just need a fresh attempt today.

Also, take a few to review information on the following:

• The Curator
• Shade of Aran
• Terestian Illhoof

As per last week, I’d like to end the evening with a run at Prince for the practice.

Can’t wait for tonight! Let’s have fun and kick-butt and don’t forget to post on the forums!
