First time kills are always fun. First time kills with Steel Legion are great. I can’t exactly remember the progression of the night, but we took about 4 or 5 attempts, steadily making progress, except that um, one pull.
This was a blast. Not just taking a boss down for the first time, but playing a game for the fun of it with nice people. What a concept?!
Anyway, We got into phase three and took 85% of Mag’s health bar away on our 2nd to last attempt. On our winning try, one person died, but it didn’t count as we had a soulstone up. We got some nice purples, and are now firmly entrenched into the realm of 25 man content.
We probably have a few more weeks of running Karazhan before it turns into a casual instance for us. We’ll knock out ZA soon too. But our next gathering point for raids will most likely be Cosmo Wrench. Destination: Void Reaver.
We got all 5 channelers down and made it through about 4 reps of clicking on the cubes. Mag was taken to 57%. We are looking at Thursday for more Mag fun.
After a heroic fight up the ramp to Akil’zon the Eagle Lord’s platform we nabbed this birdman for the first time. Zul’Aman is much more challenging than we thought, but it is serving as a good motivator for us to become even more battle ready.
We look forward to more fun in the new instance, but also a return to our efforts against Magtheridon.
[Edit] By this time we had already gotten the bear boss down a few times. Not newsworthy because it was too easy.
The recent patch brought new things. We’re using the guild bank system; already people love it. Shown above is the collective work of many dungeon and farming runs for Steel Legion. Some of our resist plate gear for Hydross is there. Other tabs of our bank are used by our members for exchanges.
The patch also brought many nice things to the game. The new troll instance will be delved into this evening, but for us most of our new content awaits us in 25 man instances. Gruul is now on farm. SSC, Mag, and TK is where the bulk of our new content lies.
The goal was set at the beginning of the night to get Magtheridon’s channelers completely down. We did. We managed to get our first set of cubers coordinated, and managed to make it up to the second cuber’s beams. At that point Magtheridon was at 87%. Once we get the rhythm of the alternating cuber teams down, we can take Mag to as low as 30%, where we’ll have to deal with the additional fun of cave ins. It was a fun night, and progress was made. In the meantime we continue to gear ourselves up.
