Illidan

Should've died Thursday, came back and one-shotted today.

Grats to Ghando on Crystal Spire of Karabor
Grats to Gonktarget on Black Bow of the Betrayer
Grats to Mochiloc on world-first upgrade from Naxx gear to Illidan gear, Thunderheart Tunic
Grats to Paches on Onslaught Chestguard

Special thanks to Chortle, Ironis, Shabadu, Malise, and all others who participated in learning the fight but couldn't make it back today. And, really, to everyone who's been instrumental in our progress from Maulgar through standing over Illidan's corpse today.

Great job by all, not just today, but also for the entirety of the past 3.5 months. After getting off to a very, very slow start in TBC raiding (we didn't really start SSC until mid-April for all intents and purposes), thanks to some skilled and dedicated play by new recruits and old EJ veterans alike, we've come along rather well, I think.

Grats. T6 wing shot on purpose or coincidence? :P

• Xaviera · 07/28/07, 6:32 PM

Nice timing on the screenshot with the wings. Congratulations!

Cromfel · 07/28/07, 6:57 PM

Nice job

And I bet there are some annoyed people behind those wings that prevent the fame!

<3

Congrats Mochiloc on the chest upgrade from Dreamwalker Tunic.

• Shabadu · 07/28/07, 8:25 PM

Grats guys, I'm glad you made it without any trouble today.

It's ok everyone knows what I look like anyways.

Grats to all who popped flasks to have him die on the first attempt. Then again, we may have not made it past Gruul without them.

◊ Raylen · 07/28/07, 10:32 PM

more to come!

◊ Turik · 07/28/07, 10:48 PM

I'm more amazed that we didn't wipe to Maulgar immediately after, honestly. Would've been typical.

• frmorrison · 07/28/07, 11:21 PM

Gratz, where are going to celebrate your defeat of the master of Outland?

• Neux · 07/28/07, 11:24 PM

We're going to Blizzcon!

◊ Quigon · 07/29/07, 2:35 AM

Grats guys, well deserved final kill. Sounds as if this is a well made fight.

◊ Thrillho · 07/29/07, 1:09 PM

Awesome job guys

• Karakas · 07/29/07, 7:14 PM

Big Grats!

Cod · 07/29/07, 10:22 PM

Grats Snowy, Snowcrasher, and Porkmissile!

Lila · 07/30/07, 2:27 AM

Grats on the kill guys. Nice loot, just missing the "legendary".

• Amera · 07/30/07, 7:10 AM

Awesome! How would you rate this with other "We beat the game encounters" so far?

◊ Sarutobi · 07/30/07, 9:10 AM

Screenshot needs more /flexing tauren imo.

Grats on the kill.

A while back we were going through some guild trouble, and finally managed to get a 1 shot of 1st half kara, gruul, and hkm in one day. Afterwards we were bored, so we went to do a world dragon (taerar?), and chain wiped. It was interesting.

Zandig · 07/30/07, 10:28 AM

Grats EJ! Been a big fan of what you provide, through these boards, to the WoW community and have been following your guild since the days of BWL. Glad to see you all kicking ass

andastra · 07/30/07, 1:32 PM

Congrats. Nice job, guys.

And yes, wiping on an easy farm-boss after a first kill on a challenging one is pretty much mandatory with my guild, too.
