Finally, finally, finally... the spider bitch goes down in smoldering, destructive flames. This was one of those fights for us where she should have died weeks ago. We had the dps, we had the player skill- just something wasn't lining up correctly. Well, all of those frustrations can be put to bed with a warm mug of frothy hot chocolate and marshmallows. The key for us seemed to be mana management on the part of the healers so they could go into phase 2 close to topped off, which required better add control and less sustained raid damage down below. This meant the Spinners being dealt with quickly-- and Xolo's Righteous Fury helped considerably to knock those suckers from their web strands. It also meant taking care of Spiderlings with mainly one dps so as not to pull too much away from the Spinners and Drones. And finally, it meant the upstairs team learning not to fall through holes, stay healed, and keeping a dps with them for all three cycles. The final piece of the puzzle was Firkey coming down from up top in the late part of the third cycle to help finish off the Drone and make sure that Beth had no Spiderlings for nom-nom health regeneration. No little crunchy critters to snack on, lots of blown cooldowns in Phase 2, and we had us a dead arachnid. That was one kill that was long overdue and felt really good to finally get. Now onto Lord Rhyolith clean-up and a hopefully much quicker boss mastery of Baleroc. Grats to all!

Hooray for our first Firelands kill and a big congrats to everyone who was there! Shouldn't be too long before we get Beth and Rhyo down and their pictures grace our homepage along with this guy. Considering how easily he fell, we should have just started with him weeks ago, and it's certainly nice to know that we'll have a fairly easy kill and Firelands' loot to kick off each week from now on.

Apologies for taking so long to get these up, but here are the last of the JaFW T11 final boss kills. Welcome back to Xolo, and welcome aboard to new raiders Bearlystable, Grimhawk, Paste, Rgo, Übermage, and Wubbles! Firelands sprinkled with T11 Heroic kills up next...

In other words, we castrated the chump.
Yes, that elite killing force known as Just a Flesh Wound got slightly more elite tonight via strategy & teamwork, and finally got our first tier token drop for Deathmenace. And you know what? He totally deserves it. I'm gonna get all sentimental here for a moment and say that Mike is really the best of what our guild has to offer: an all-around great guy who is always there to help whoever needs it, who is completely selfless and will do just about anything for the group. And yes, evidently that includes when a bear needs a little butt-lovin'.
Anyway... tonight was a major victory after several long progression nights working on Cho'gall. It was super-sweet to finally work him over completely. At least, that's what Mike said.
But this should signal the beginning of continued tier drops, and now we can start working on Nef. Not only that... but Heroics beckon! Next week we will be taking a look at Heroic Halfus, who also drops... chest tokens! So everyone give the videos a look and be ready!
