So it was a HUGE week for us in terms of new kills. We knew when we switched our focus to BWD things would die reasonably quickly... but all in one raid... that was a surprise... but only slightly :). It now pushes us to 10/12 and given our limited raid times shows that when we do raid we do it well. Killing Cho'gall also opens up BoT heroics.
The week started with an awesome extra raid that saw all our farm content out of the way in less than 2hrs (all 1 shot). This left our Monday night raid for Cho'gall but I'll admit I was very nervous when the message came through from Placenik 30mins before Monday's raid that his power was out. Edwina can attest that there was a point where I did exclaim "Why does there have to be a storm today!". In any case I started thinking well if we grab a fill in and get Conclave and do some learning in BWD it will be disappointing but not a total loss to not do Cho this week. It seems you guys had other ideas!
So we knock over Conclave... still no hunter so we move to BWD to try Chimaeron with one of our trusty fill-in ret pallys (at least it's a chance to make use of the gear we gave him :P). After 4-5 attempts we kill Chimaeron for the first time. At the same time Placenik comes online so with our frost trap valuable hunter back we head over to Cho'gall. After our first night of attempts we had him to 5% but to me it still felt like something was missing so I wasn't sure killing him was going to be easy. Seems I was wrong again and 3 attempts later he is dead and we have a second new kill for the night. What's left to do but head back to BWD and beat up a blind dude. To be fair to Atramedes we thought we would try him with very few us actually knowing what was supposed to happen in the fight... but he still died.
Great work this week guys. Everyone was really switched on! Now the real work starts on Nefarian!
