We started poking around in Mt. Hyjal ever since patch 2.4 came out. It was new content and even the trash drops have proven productive to us. After a few weeks of off handedly grabbing random loot, recipes and hearts of darkness we’ve built up our fight knowledge of the first encounter.
We’re calling it a one shot for the day. Even though our first attempt was interrupted by a server outage, we came back from a brief respite over on the Sisters of Elune server. Hogger was fun, and again the level two warrior known as Kawaihae proved unworthy, but memories of the riverside brute taking us to school were quickly forgotten once back defending the Alliance camp. Yesterday we polished off Winterchill.
Our immediate plans include finishing Tidewalker, and really starting to carve our way through Tempest Keep. We will keep SSC in the rotation, but will start to focus on Al’ar until we have the phoenix down (twice).
