Boss Tactics: Terestian Illhoof

Most groups will skip Illhoof and go to Shade of Aran first because all of the trash except for 1 pull right in front of Illhoof’s room are tied to Shade and they want to make sure the trash is taken care of. Illhoof is actually a very easy fight but a Warlock is basically a necessity.

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Wizard of Oz aka The Crone

As a side note, I realized that I forgot the loot section on a few of the previous posts; this has been corrected!
This is one of the more rare Opera events, for me at least. We get BBW most of the time, Galadria says they did too. Between the two of us we’ve probably seen [...]

Boss Tactics: Nightbane

As a side note, I’m going a little out of the order I had planed on but these are the fights I have good screenshots for.  Deal with it  
Nightbane is usually one of the last fights a guild will attempt. You have to complete the Medivh’s Journial quest line order to summon him and it’s [...]

Boss Tactics: The Curator

In order to get to Curator you’ll need to go in the back door.  After leaving the front door, go down the path a little ways and you’ll see a small river on your left, cross the river and go around the corner of the building.  Go up the stairs, and up, and up, and up until you cross [...]

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Romulo and Julianne

These two star-crossed lovers are probably the easiest of the 3 Opera events, and if you’re not a Tailor, probably the most desired by Holy Priests; the Masquerade Gown is quite mice (and very pretty to boot!)
Encounter Mechanics
This is basically a 3 phase fight. You fight and kill Julianne, then Romulo, then both together (sound [...]

Galadria: Oh, noes! A Rant!

I feel the need…  It’s time.
The rant today is about the upcomming changes in the patch.  Specifically the lifting of the attunement in Hyjal and BT and those that are complaining about it.  There’s a lot of hullabaloo about it and I can actually see both sides.  Go read this post from Apathy, Inc. and these [...]

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Big Bad Wolf

All of the Opera encounters tend to be a little crazy and hectic. Big Bad Wolf (BBW) is no exception, but it’s a lot of fun!
Encounter Mechanics

Unlike the other Opera events, this one does not automatically start when the curtain goes up. You’ll see “Grandmother” and talk to her to start the event.

In phase 1 BBW [...]

Boss Tactics: Maiden of Virtue

This fight is optional, you don’t have to do it unless you want to get Keanna’s Log for the quest and even then you don’t actually have to do the boss to get to it, just some difficult trash pulls. The hallway leading up to Maiden has 3 rooms on the left side; you’ll need [...]

Vladvin: OP’ed Kara

We ran just about the strangest Kara ever last night.  1 Prot Pally, 2 Ret Pallys, 1 Holy Pally (yep 4 of those Blood Elf fools), 2 Resto Shammys, 1 BM Hunter, 1 Warlock, 1 Mage (who got replaced by another BM hunter after Shade). and yours truly.  The only person who was on level for the [...]

Vladvin: Working on Kael Part 2

After clearing SSC on Wed and Thurs, then the first 3 bosses in TK on Sat, we spent all day on Kael yesterday.  We are now firmly into Phase 4.  We got Phase 1 down last week but couldn’t figure out the DPS on the weapons.  This week we replaced a healer with another DPS [...]
