Phat Lewt Archive

Since this upcoming Tuesday patch-day is the big 3.0.2 pre-Wrath patch, and since that means that the current Naxxramas is going away forever, Hellfire Club decided to go in and say, “Hi!” With a group of up-to 21 people, including 4 tanks, 4 healers, 2 lower level DPS (61 mage Thewhiteboy, and 67 warlock Aileanora), and 11 other T4+ DPSers, we entered and went directly for the Spider Wing upon advice that our initial plan of heading to Patchwerk was probably a real bad idea…

After 5 wipes on Anub’rekhan, mostly due to MT casualties during the Locust kite transition, we decided to continue the fun exploration by heading to the Abomination Wing anyway. We found lots of slimes, gutters of slime, and even had some Leeroy action by our very own GM. After 2 attempts, Patchwerk was dead. Nice and simple. Congratulations to Thewhiteboy on the first (and only) T3 in HFC: [Frostfire Shoulderpads] (once he finishes making them, that is). Also congratulations to Travysh on the [Band of Reanimation] and to Necromage on the [Splinter of Atiesh].

Then we made a couple of attempts on Grobbulus before calling it a night. All in all, a very enjoyable evening, with lots of silliness, chaos, and banter — plus, just a little education for things to come when we face the 10-man (and maybe even 25-man) version in Wrath of the Lich King.

Three attempts to kill Akil’zon, the eagle-aspect boss of ZA. Five attempts to kill Halazzi, the lynx-aspect boss. That’s two new bosses downed in the same night.

Thank’s Arnithall!

Way to go HFC!

Nalorakk: [Fury] - Skykomish
Akil’zon: [Signet of Ancient Magics] - Sanice
Halazzi: [Avalanche Leggings] - Ungulataur

Our first night in a 25-man raid, one of Outland’s finest, Gruul’s Lair, was a chaotic success. After a mere 12 attempts (the majority of which were 22-23 people), High King Maulgar was downed.

Congratulations to Gaydavor, Gryphoneli, and Gannar (the 3-G Conspiracy) on the HFC-first Tier-4 Shoulders! Congratulations also goes to Wayangkulit on the [Brute Cloak of the Ogre-Magi]!

Then we faced off against Gruul for 2 attempts, bringing him down ultimately to 64%, both on awkward pulls.

It was a well fought night and everyone did spectacularly. Way to go Hellfire Club!

HFC has killed the first boss in Zul’Aman!

It was an exciting, epic boss fight.

The loot: Formula: Enchant Weapon - Executioner went to Necromage, and Pauldrons of Primal Fury went to Bomosnipah.

The first of many, different successful ZA crews: Skykomish, Timmie, Paed, Turason, Paineyota, Necromage, Bomosnipah, Sanice, Scour, and Arnithall. Zul’Aman looks to be a very fun and challenging raid instance for us as a guild, as we begin to move beyond Karazhan. We’re far from focusing on ZA, but we’ve got a taste and made a dent. I hope to see all of you in there soon.

Check the scheduler in the next few days for next week’s Karazhan sign ups.

While I really don’t mean to push the AQ/Race post below the fold… Prince Malchezaar is dead!

Congratulations Paed on the first HFC Tier 4 Helm, and to Arnithall and Skykomish for the other first drops from Prince. Great job everyone, especially the healers.
