@ Theaah – about half of the group was from Late Night Raiders, the other half were random PuGs.

Who’d you run with out of curiosity? I’ve only been back to BT a couple times since hitting 80 but I’m still amazed at the difficulty difference there is to when we were doing it at 70 (Like killing Gorefiend before he can ghost more than one person now. ~_~ ).

Council was such an annoying fight, but fun too in the ‘keeping you on your toes’ sort of way. We’d have a hunter MD the pally to make the pull so that the mage tank didn’t get initial aggro from all four of them and go splat. Half the time the hunter died on the pull. ~_~ (I think I only died a couple times when I was a bit too slow on hitting FD) Trying to keep your pet alive on that fight was pretty damn interesting at times, too.

Bloodboil was one of my less favorite fights too since aggro was SO touchy. At 70 it involved rotation groups to get the bloodboil debuff and a fair number of tank switches. It was one of those fights that even when you had the place on farm you could pretty easily wipe to it.

I’m still annoyed that I never did get my Cursed Vision from Illibeans. (I still want it just for, like, RPness.) >_>

For your Naxx guide, how easy is it to navigate to a boss you want to read about? If it’s difficult I would post it wing at a time (so it’s easier to get to the one you’re after) but if it’s easy, then post the lot in one go.

Hmm, if people are using iPhones/mobile devices to read this it might be better for them to have a wing at a time so they don’t have to load the whole lot at once (if it’s picture heavy).

Looking forward to reading it! Did you kite gluth? My tip for that is to go PVP MODE!

I loved Hyjal. It was the first time anyone in game ever said “But how can we do this without our Pally Tank?” Hyjal was basically what got me into a very good guild deep in the End Game when their Paladin left for AoC.

BT at 70 was crazzzzzzy. But it was also fun. Those were some good times.

Yea, a bunch of the BT bosses were pretty challenging.

Now go do Sunwell and let us know what you think

I didn’t get to see Illidan until after Wrath either. My old guild only made it cleared up to Mother, and I think it was a fluke. Never got past the Illidari Council. I’d like to get into Sunwell one of these days for a shot at that legendary bow. Not having to buy ammo for day to day routines will be sweet.

I wrote a post about what it was like healing Black Temple as a Holy Paladin a long while ago. Bloodboil was by far my least favorite fight ever. Lots of damage going around and only my pitiful flash of light to combat it while the priests and shamans lol’ed their way through it.

Illidari Council however was and is my favorite fight in the game. I thought it was the most epic, most intense and craziest encounter I’d ever seen. The ‘superbowl of not standing in shit’ will always be the most memorable fight in my wow career.
