Well, what can I say?

Razergore down second time

Vaelastraz down second try

Suppression rooms cleared first time (one unfortunate wipe during, but luckily managed to res the raid in an alcove!)

Broodlord down first try

And now...  onto the Main event..  FIREMAW DOWN!  (on the, uhh.. well.. probably about the 10th try!)

Yepp.. The Garrison came, we saw, we conquered again. :)

An absolutely stunning performance by the whole raid.  We had several tries on Firemaw, adjusting our strategies to get it exactly right.. and get it right we did.  Once we decided on the best MT/OT positions, and the various LOS issues for our healers, it was a simple twin-tank DPS fight.

Even funnier was the pull after Firemaw, where Mace wondered how he was doing almost 600DPS on the raid around him!

Next week, we intend to get all the Drakes down.  Watch this space.

O... M... G...!

The Garrison continue to charge through Blackwing Lair!

Last night, on our fifth visit to BWL, we hit Razergore on our third try (with Ulloh as our Orb Controller learning the ropes for the very first time).

We then proceeded to smash through Vaelastraz on our fifth? attempt.

Then, we hit the Death Talon packs like a warm knife through melted butter and onto the Suppression Rooms.

Having been forewarned about them, (and having one failed attempt last week) we were prepared to run the gauntlet a few times to get the hang of them.

Well, that turned out to be false!  We charged through the Suppression Rooms, with many comments about "how much use the UBRS zergs were.." and finally stood face to face with the Broodlord.

Well.. kinda.  We actually "accidentally" pulled the Broodlord a little early.  Among many screams of "Oh SHIT.." and "Who pulled??" and "OMG!  do we have a Soulstone!!" we panicked for about 5 seconds.

Then an air of calmness hit Teamspeak as someone announced: "Mace has aggro.. lets take him..."

The tanks charged in, the healers switched over very fast and the rest of the group finished up with the whelps.  We then pointed our sharp pointy things at Broodlord and proceeded to down him with relative ease.

Congratulations to everyone in the group - an amazing recovery from a "bad pull".  I think particular congratulations to Mace for picking up the boss so quickly, and to the healers for switching their roles so fast.  Also a particular mention for Renegade who immediately took up residence next to the trap by the main group and kept it disarmed for the duration of the fight, (while taking out the stray whelps pulled by the knockbacked rogues)

Another Garrison Victory!

Thanks to all of you for insisting that I take the head first.  I think its actually some sort of ruse to get me over in Silithus to start grinding and out of the way of everyone.. :S

As always, the DKP details are here

Vaelestraz down!

Well, in Garrison Style, we came, we saw and we kicked his ass!

Vaelestraz, or more commonly known as "Guild Breaker Vaelestraz" is down to the amazing force of The Garrison.  On only our second real visit to him, we managed to get the tactics down and kicked him out of BWL!

Loot can be found here  

Thanks to everyone who came along for the wipe-fest.  I certainly didn't expect to see him go down!

On to the Lootlord!

P.

Well, we finally did it.

After many months of wiping, learning the strateg.. err.. hang on.

HELL NO!

In true Garrison fashion; we came,  we wiped, we wiped again and again, then we PWNZORED Razergore's ass!

On our first visit into Blackwing Lair, we wiped 8 times and then finally put Razergore down.  Congratulations to all those raiders that made the evening what it was.  It was hard work for all of us (apart from me, who just stood up there next to Mace and watched you all ;)) but we finally managed to pick up the strategy perfectly.

Next stop Vaelestraz!
