So after a few weeks of languishing in T5 trying o’ so desperatly to bust through SSC we did it.
Dawn of Redemption is now flinging itself headfirst into T6 content!
After downing Tidewalker in what was a seemingly effortless fight the decision was passed down that on Sunday we would be marching into Hyjal with guns blazing. And so we did.
For those who do not the Battle of Mount Hyjal. The instance is essentially defending the tree of life against the scourge onslaught. Your raid braces itself with the help of alliance NPCs against wave after wave of increasingly difficult scourge minions: ghouls, necromancers, and abominations are just a few of the crazys you’ll be fighting against. After your eigth wave of mobs comes the first boss (which savy Warcraft 3 players will recognize as the heroes from that most excellent RTS game) – first boss? Rage Winterchill.
SO knowing what lay ahead (thanks to youtube videos) we all waited as the first wave came, and then the second, and so on and so on. Time began getting cut short as the eigth pull happened – we needed to drink so we sent out Boywonder our brave rogue to distract the incoming Lich. Distract went up and Boywonder went down. But he did buy us some time, some very needed time in order to mana up.
Then miracle of all miracles- we one shot the bastard.
Yep, our first night in T6 and we one shot our first boss.
I know there are tose out there already hemming and hawwing about oh well the first boss is easy, or bug whoop I’ve downed him a million times. To those naysayers I say this – poop on you. It’s people like that who, well, get to endgame content without any friends. SO despite what you say we are currently basking in the glow of a succesful T6 start. We even tried to push onto the next boss Anetheron and got him down to 15%.
I have a feeling that T6 might end up moving as fast as T5 did. We’ve got a great core group of raiders and I’m thinking that this is just the begining of what is to become a massive progression ass-whoppin.
I’ll keep you posted.
***side note: I am going to post a shadow priest’s view to the fight after our next bout through Hyjal which will hopefully be wednesday. I think that there aren’t enough walkthroughs by class of raids outside of the weird crazy shit like warlocks on Leo in SSC. Maybe I’m way off the mark – feel free to comment below to let me know***
