Hellfire Club

Maybe You Need To Cool Off

Vaharneim — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:56:43 +0000

After a month or more hiatus, Hellfire Club returns to raiding to take a stand and let Ragnos’ minions know they need to step back and chill.

Congratulations everyone on a first-night first kill!

I Can’t Even Tame One of Those Dogs, Let Alone Two

Congratulations HFC on taking out the Firelands Huntard, Shannox. The return of the ‘fette seemed to work out pretty well, eh? Too bad we had to d/e the very first piece of gear we’ve seen. Isn’t that just our luck? =]

Ten Heads are Better Than Two

Well, it looks as though Cho’gall won’t be recruiting for the Twilight Hammer any more. Amirite?

Overhealing? What?

This Tuesday, in an astounding comeback… after weeks of ignoring BWD in favor of Firelands… HFC comes back and whomps Chimaeron.

Congratulations, everyone!

Two More on Ice

"If you’re a real hero of the Horde, then I wanna see you fight a dragon! Yeah!"

Today’s your day kid. Not only did we fight a dragon, we fought two, and we killed them. How d’ya like them apples?

In yet another surge of progress, tonight Hellfire Club defeated Valiona & Theralion, and then wandered over to BWD to kill Maloriak, also for the first time.

Congratulations to everyone involved, especially Noladygodiva, for picking up the V&T fight so quickly and helping us reach victory.

The Best Defense…

The Omnotron Defense System, or as we like to call it, the Golem Council, was deactivated. Congratulations to Quantos for getting some truly frightening shoulders, and our condolences to whichever rogue is moved to tears that we disenchanted your dagger.

And So It Begins

The Descent, Blackwing, that is. Tonight we downed Magmaw, as well as putting the Golem Council in an akward place. Congratulations to Serrated and Quantos on the first epic drops from BWD.

Halfus the Man I Used To Be

Vaharneim — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 08:28:11 +0000

The first actual T11 raid boss has fallen. Halfus Wyrmbreaker has put up a dirty fight over the past several weeks, but after a keen insight into his tactics last week, this week’s improvements were swift, and saw him fall quite easily once we got into Phase 2.

Congratulations HFC on a well earned kill.

While definitely old news, Algalon the Observer faced crushing defeat by 10 members of Hellfire Club. He did put up quite a fight, wiping us once, and nearly claiming everyone prior to succumbing in the 2nd attempt, save for Skykomish and Lightbeef, tank and retadin respectively.

Over the last several weeks, Hellfire Club has been revisiting old raids, or “Retro Raids” as we’ve referred to them. Most of these places we have done before, for fun. This time, there is the added goal of Guild Achievements. December 10th, 2010 was our first night, utterly demolishing the raids of Blackrock Mountain: Molten Core and Blackwing Lair. A week later, we returned to finish off the Vanilla content, Ruins and Temple of Ahn’qiraj, as well as BC’s 10-man raids Karazhan and Zul’Aman. Both of these Retro Raids were very short, so we set our sights on a better marathon after the winter break.

On January 7th, 2011, we set out to face the raids of Burning Crusade, clearing Gruul and Magtheridon’s Lairs, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep: The Eye, Caverns of Time: Battle for Mount Hyjal, and Black Temple. We crushed them all in 3 hours.

On our most recent Retro Raid we faced Sunwell Plateau, the lone remaining Burning Crusade raid content, and started in on the Wrath of the Lich King raids: The Chamber of the Aspects: Obsidian Sanctum, Naxxramas, The Eye of Eternity, and Ulduar. This time there was a twist, as most of the Guild Achievements actually required Hardmode defeats. It is also worth pointing out that we never completed Ulduar (even though we did kill Arthas), leaving both Yogg-Saron and Algalon unchecked on our scorecard, much less facing many of the bosses’ hardmodes. However, not only were we successful, we racked up tons of personal and Guild Achievements, as well as reaching Guild Level 10 for our efforts.

Good work, everyone.

Oh So Snuggly!

Congratulations Cariss on taming Chromaggus from Blackwing Lair during our Retro FNF.
