RM beats the Ledge Boss!
In the toughest encounter to date, RM successfully got 25 people up on a ledge without having one of them @#%@($&U! fall down and aggro the boss, instantly wiping us and forcing us to run back, buff up, and see which one of us lemmings off next...

What did you get your mother for Mother's Day?
We got ours a bunch of dragon bones! Finals are over and Felmyst is dead. Coincidence? I think not.

After 2 weeks of half-strength raids and BT+Hyjal nights (ugh), we headed back to Sunwell this week and butted-heads against Felmyst. After being on par for a kill on Thursday night only to wipe to a badly placed breath, we went back in on a late Mother's Day night and picked up where we left off. A few tank and priest deaths, a hunter who forgot to take Growl off, and a 3% wipe later, we finally pulled out all the stops and killed the 3rd boss of Sunwell. Grats to Zanick on his Grand Magister's Staff of Torment and Thehate, Janor, and Charletan on their T6 boots.

On to the Eredar Twins and finally getting to some of the most challenging and rewarding bosses in all of WoW. And Xiana's YouTube (i.e. low-quality) version of the video:

Brutallus down!
RM faced the tightest tuned encounter that we've ever faced. After 5%, 3%, and 3% wipes last week and some attempts to tweak the strategy and raid composition, we went in on Tuesday's reset and killed Brutallus on the first serious pull of the night. It felt great to finally have this gear/execution check down and be looking at Felmyst. Serious congratulations go out to top 5 damage: Kameros, Nfar, Xiana, Bleeni, and Minimerlinx, as well as to our healers who kept it together for 6 solid minutes. Many thanks to our pallies who helped us pull it off in the end. All in all it was a very good Tuesday night. Grats to Erekose on his Felfury Legplates and to Electrifying, Thehate, and Bleeni on their T6 belts!

Sunwell is open and Kalecgos is freed!
Well, the Sunwell has officially opened with patch 2.4 this week and we were excited to get back into progression raiding. After learning some of the ins and outs of trash and various tweaks to our strategy with Kalecgos and his demonic friend, we finally freed him from his captor. Congrats to Janor, Syrion, and Nfar on their T6 bracers and to our our non-existant hunters on their amazingly overpowered legs [Starstalker Legguards]. Next up, Brutallus!

Bleeding Hollow receives another Legendary Warglaive
It's been a long time since our last front page update but the powers that be at Blizzard finally gave us something to write about. 19 weeks after our first Illidan kill the Main Hand Warglaive of Azzinoth finally dropped. Although I am the one lucky enough to wield the legendary sword it truly belongs to the guild as it would be impossible to obtain without the efforts of everyone.

And now the waiting game begins for the Off-Hand to drop.
