BT was cleared up to Council. We had had 2½ proper nights on Illidan last week, and seemed this week wasn't going to be much better. We had cancelled raid on Sunday(easter). We had a 'howtobehavelikehoggerraid' raid yesterday. This morning I logged into game only to find out tonight's raid was 21/25 sign ups and our GM saying if there's any more stupid kidstuff like yesterday he will take a long break. I sighted, and logged onto my alt to forget all about the raiding stress on my main.
45min before the raid I login, see guild message "All repairs from guildbank, free epix talasites for everyone, 5h raid, max focus max consumables lets kill Illidan before 2.4!!!" so I rush to check the raid sign ups and its 25/25. Waahey!
Into BT we go, oneshot Council(on which we wiped 2h yesterday). Yay for new tier pants! Pull Illidan. Stupid wipe, stupid wipe. Tank dies in p1. Flametanks hug the eyebeams. Raid hugs the eyebeams(wtf oO?). We get to p3, tank dies without no good explanation why no one healed him. Couple of people whine on Vent, "we're not making any progress, this is bullshit, killing him tonight? lol?". Mood gets nasty. One whiner quits the raid. Less than an hour to go, already past our usual raid finish time, we get Illidan down to 46%. Maintank dies on demon-->humanoid switch.
"Ok guys, that's 20mins left of raid time now we kill this bitch and it's game over for next 6 hours alright?!" And bloody hell... 39% maiev comes in... forget the damn traps, dps.. healhealheal. And down he goes. Waaaaah!
I swear half the vent was crying. Was shaking myself, the last 20% felt like my heart might jump out of my chest:D A guy waiting outside in case we needed replacement, even he was rambling on Vent and telling how he's shaking and going mad;D I still can't comprehend really how we actually managed to make it.. the first 3h of raid was like our first time on Illidan. Well here's to all naysayers and ventwhiners, we bloody hell made it.
Our guild has a bad habit of wiping on bosses for 2-3h and then killing them on the last try of the evening. I think by killing Illidan 18seconds before the raid time was over, just before 2.4, we beat all our previous records:D
Ah well - in the morning 2.4 is there but for now.. game over. Feels odd to have killed every single boss in this game :>
( Whatever I may be - whatever I may become in this world. )
