Plowing through Hyjal too

Man, I am really loving BT and Hyjal. Both instances have a few nice and easy bosses to kick back and relax after Kael and Vashj.
Anyway, Anetheron down (Warrior tanking sword to Peauchute and Feral staff to Timber), as well as Kaz’rogal (BM Hunter shoulders to Seazon and Plate DPS belt to Tankos). Took a [...]

Shade of Akama down too

Since Kaziel asked, here’s a condensed version of the fight:
Easysauce fight, pally tanks very useful. Adds come out of the sides of the room for a while, a bunch get killed (most of them are the ones I tank), some get offtanked (druids), some just get burned down by specific people. After you do that [...]

SO CLOSE…

Kael at 17%. Would have been a kill, but we didn’t kill Capernian, and it turns out if she’s still up in phase 5 she evade bugs and resets every time Kael does his gravity thing. Even with her stomping on us the whole time we managed to get him that low. He dies tonight.

Closer and Closer…

Getting ridiculously close to Hyjal and its sweet, sweet tier 6. Had some awesome attempts on Kael this week, should have him down next week if all goes well
Three things of note this week:
#1: On the Kael’Thas encounter, I noticed that the weapons don’t drop aggro when you DS. Paladin tanks with [...]
