What a tremendous fight to end the expansion. Although not quite as tightly tuned as M'uru, you still have to keep everyone alive to meet several "enrage" timers on this fight. Add in the coordination required for collapses with bloom and armageddons dropping everywhere, and the fight becomes very chaotic very quickly.

Like all our pictures, some idiot is facing the wrong way. Thanks a lot, Kalec.

Big kudos to all our veterans and recruits on this fight and the rest of Sunwell. To all the people that saw this fight or parts of Sunwell but weren't here for this kill, thanks for your hard work.

On to Wrath.

Hard fight is still hard. There's been plenty written about this fight, how it's the pinnacle of raid design and that the tuning is perfect. It isn't the pinnacle of anything really, there are no super new tricks that this fight throws at you. Phase 1 is fairly simple: control adds, burn boss. The trick is in the tuning, and this fight is still tuned extremely well. The recent health nerf managed to shave a whole wave of adds off, nearly two, but the control issues are still the same, regardless of phase length.  

Phase 2 is all about timing, positioning, and a massive amount of raid dps. It really is quite a step up from the rest of the fights in Sunwell, and it's two whole fights in one. I can't say how ecstatic I am to have this bitch finally dead.

Oh, and this kill was made possible by all the idiots who changed their name to some form of ***cakes.

We're recruiting the following classes:

Mages: 1
Warlocks: 1
Rogue: 1
Tanks (any class): 1

If you're one of the above classes, or you feel your an excellent player of a class not listed, apply here. We expect all applicants to be relatively decked out in BT gear at the very least. We also expect people to apply that want to have a home for WotLK, because we're not just recruiting for the end of Sunwell.
