Last night’s raid took Steel Legion to many parts of the world, starting with Gruul’s Lair. We used the empty cave to really get to know the rock out croppings and develop good hiding spots. Something that a hectic raid environment does not allow.
About two weeks ago we made an attempt on the Blood Elf Capitol Faction Leader (“what’s his face”). We got him to 9% and met with some horde opposition. The horde did a great job of defending their city. Last night, however, we came prepared with more special forces. We met minimal resistance as we took “what’s his face” down very easily.
Our reward was 64 points of honor each and another mark of bravado to attach to the sides of our epic mounts. Thrall and the Undercity Queen are on deck. World PvP/PvE is fun.
Our agenda then took us to Tempest Keep. Void Reaver is next on our list of Boss acquisitions. According to our research, if you can get to Void Reaver, you can take Void Reaver. As they say reading and doing research helps a ton. Gaining experience with actual pulls is what matters and is necessary. The reading just speeds up the learning process.
We spent a great two hours learning the pulls and enjoying new content. 25 man raids is a whole new ball game, and the tight corridors of Tempest Keep provided nice challenges. Our rewards came in the form of learning yes, but also our first titanic random trash mob drop:
We’ll be getting more of those for sure. We made it to the point of pulling the first demon/blacksmith/robot pack out of Void Reaver’s room, before spawns started showing back up at the entrance to Tempest Keep. It was a good time to move on.
Steel Legion ended the night turning Karazhan into an empty instance by removing Maiden and Nightbane.
This week’s progress: Karazhan cleared, Gruul’s Lair cleared, Tempest Keep explored, some blood elf guy “what’s his face” killed, and many Legionnaires geared up. A very nice week indeed. What will next week bring? We shall see, we will make it happen.
