Ok. So I'm at a fork in the road and there are three possible ways to go (as far as I see it).

Quick description before I jump into it:
We spent two previous nights wiping for 4 hours each on the Twin Emporers and we killed them our first try tonight. Up to this point I had been leading the guild based off what I knew. I had killed the Twin Emps before (with my previous guild) and had cleared the trash to C'thun once. But now, I don't have the experience that I have been leading with before. This isn't a huge issue as I watch a lot of videos and do a lot of research as far as strategies go, but I'm kind of torn as to where we should go next.

Three possible ways (in my opinion):

1) Hit AQ hard and focus on Ouro: I have heard from many people that he has a quicker learning curve than C'thun and the extra gear each week will help us out when learning C'thun. Also, if we kill Ouro before we hit up C'thun attempts each week that is less trash we have to clear through (unless I mistaken).

2) Hit AQ hard and focus on C'thun: Since Ouro/Visc are optional bosses, we could simply spend all of our progress nights (usually 4 nights a week are dedicated to wipe sessions) on C'thun. On our server, only one guild has killed C'thun so far. Needless to say, the epeen of a server 2nd kill would be sweet even though it is really really far behind. The loot off C'thun is better than some Naxx gear and Ouro is an optional boss, so C'thun would be going right for the meat of the instance.

3) Clear BWL, Clear AQ Thru Twin Emps in one night, spend one night a week on C'thun or Ouro, push Naxx hard: I've been told by some of my friends that Razuvious and Anuberakan are far easier fights than Ouro/C'Thun and they have been pressuring me to go there and get us some tier3 which will help us progress on C'thun/Ouro. My concern here is that if we go to Naxx now, I will never get to see a dead C'thun.


Basically, I've been hearing conflicting things from a bunch of people. Some people say Ouro first, some say to hit up the easier bosses in Naxx, and I was thinking to just go straight for C'thun. Most of the people who post here are seemingly intelligent and I would really appreciate it if you guys could provide your opinions on this.

Thanks in advance.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

There is 0 reason to kill Ouro before killing C'Thun, other than maybe wanting to save you 30s of wipe recovery every wipe on C'Thun. There's only 1 additional trash pull between Ouro and C'Thun...

That being said, there is some value in killing the easier Naxx bosses. Perhaps you can alternate, one week work on C'Thun, the other week work on Anub/Razuvious.

But yes, read the other thread.
