Old Skool Shennanigens.

So last night, given that a lot of our active raiders are on holiday atm, we decided to have a fun-run to some old content. We decided to make a return to Blackwing Lair, a dungeon that was, in many ways, the apex of CD's old-world raiding acheivements.

Only one problem: Ulushnar wasn't attuned to BWL. The solution, we proceeded to AoE zerg our way through Upper Blackrock Spire to perform the attunement quests. I think first-to-last pull was about half an hour, which didn't suck.

After that we had a short break whilst I took care of Ulushnar's commitment to Dat was by dose, and then it was on to Blackwing Lair.

The first boss, Razorgore the Untamed spawns about 40 adds that have to be controlled for the first phase of the fight. My solution: Tank em all!



I assure you that Ulu is somewhere beneath that boiling mass of Dragons and Orcs!

After Razor went down, we went on the the next boss Vaelastrasz the Corrupt!

Sadly this was a fight we couldn't get past despite half-a-dozen attempts. It's a fight that guarantees five deaths a minute no matter what, so it really requires more than the 20 people we were able to muster for the fun run. Ah well, was still a fun way to spend an evening. Spirits were high and the banter flowed freely.

Looks fun doing the Old World content four fun and challenge with less people on a raid.

Can always find new ways to have fun and be challenged. Either way its just fun.
