Deeprun Pest Control

The weeks not even over yet and another boss goes down (well bosses technically), this time the Illidari Council were the ones to tread in the path of the DPC steamroller and came out feeling a little worse for wear. A rather annoyingly long fight plagued with some random and rather frustrating deaths but hey, they’re dead at least!

Just rounds off an excellent week and leaves us facing Illidan now so I look forward to that news post soon!

Loot Was:

• Madness of the Betrayer – Sjet
• Leggings of the Forgotten Protector – Batou
• Leggings of the Forgotten Protector – Tinything

Well, a superb start to the week, killing all the “farm” bosses in one night including Reliquary Of Souls on the 2nd try with a few new faces in the raid, gave us a good head start (Ironically the only other wipe was on Shade Of Akama!) -.- So in true DPC style we capitalised on this, after making sure everyone had their SR gear sorted and giving the citizens of Aggramar a boost by managing to bump the price of Primal Shadows on the AH to almost 40g each (I did warn you guys to farm em in advance!) it was time to face Mother Shahraz!

Now at this point it would be simple to launch into a load of “Yo Momma” jokes but I’ll leave the headline as the only one, besides there’s something mildly uncomfortable about them all! 😛 Regardless to say she died at our hands on the first night of tries after a few tweeks here and there to the strat and positioning. Needless to say it was another good night of solid raiding and yet another obstacle down, Illidari Council next and then it’s just the big guy himself.

Loot was:

• Pauldrons of the Forgotten Protector – Vierklauw (Why do my rolls suck so much!)
• Pauldrons of the Forgotten Conqueror – Shigyn
• Leggings of Devastation – Shigyn

Strike up another one, this time it was Relinqu…Reliqur….Essence of Souls that decided that they needed to take some time out after the DPC band played on. Awesome kill and quite a fun fight (tho bugger me those rage burns are nasty!) with him dead on the second night of tries. Now ofc we have the fun of Mother Shahraz next…or at least scrounging all the Heart of Darkness needed to craft all the SR gear for Mother Shahraz, then it’s just the Illidari Council and finally the big man himself left so we’re well on track for getting BT cleared prior to Sunwell opening up.

Loot was…er yeah well…ok I was Master Looter this time so:

• Naturewarden’s Treads – Dedru
• Grips of Damnation – Ruriko

Another one down before Xmas which tbh wasn’t really expected given we’ve alrady got a fair few off on holiday but I’m not complaining! This time it was thefairly fast paced and kinda fun fight that is Gurtogg Bloodboil! So much going on in this fight and yet its still quite fun for the most part! So just 4 more bosses to go so time to start getting those hearts farmed for Shahraz soon…

Loot Was: (Crap and Beecees got a well deserved gkick for it!)

• Messenger of Fate – Lyu
• Garments of Temperance – Tallaria

The threat of the Black dragonflight was er…wait they weren’t actually in Hyjal at all were they? Well anyway Archimonde, Sargeras’s right hand demon had a slight run in with the DPC steamroller and came off somewhat worse for wear. Great fight which requires a great deal of co-ordination and attention from all where a single death can ultimately lead to a nasty wipe. It’s rather nice ofc to be going into the Xmas holiday break with such a high ranking kill as this and it ultimately proves DPC as one of the best guilds on the server but then thats something we’ve known ourselves for a long time anyway!

Anyways loot was:

• Helm of the Forgotten Vanquisher – Lanariel
• Helm of the Forgotten Conqueror – Svinny
• Mail of Fevered Pursuit – Gkagliaros
• Robes of Rhonin – Aae

Only for some it was sooner than others. This time it was the turn firstly for Teron Gorefiend to die (again…he has a habit of not letting that hold him back much though) which is the fourth boss killed in the Black Temple now. He was followed on Sunday by the timely demise of Azgalor which was again the fourth boss only this time in Mount Hyjal which leads us to the fun of Archimonde next!

Loot was:

Teron Gorefiend:

• Totem of Ancestral Guidance – Castodius
• Shadowmoon Destroyer’s Drape – Lyu

Azgalor:

• Gloves of the Forgotten Protector – Batou
• Shady Dealer’s Pantaloons – Kumini (Or Ruriko depending if the loot issue gets sorted!) -.-
• Gloves of the Forgotten Vanquisher – Aae

Another one down on the first night of tries in Mount Hyjal bringing the tally up to 3/5 in there and also the first 3 bosses in Black Temple as well. This time it was the turn of Kaz’Rogal to be sent back to the nether in time for the weekly instance reset, after loosing a lot of time due to various connection issues (I blame our portugese contingent!) he went down on the second proper try at him.

Loot was:

• Blue Suede Shoes – Aae
• Valestalker Girdle – Judith

2 Nights, 3 Kills…makes a nice change from wiping for hours on Kael’Thas at any rate!

First to fall was of course High Warlord Naj’entus, aka Patchwerk v2.0, a pretty healing intense fight with a lot of AoE constantly going on and the most difficult of the 3 new kills. He was followed on the same night by Supremus, bit of a weird fight with it being a combination of Gruul and Thaladred but considering his loot table it was surprisingly easy. Then the next night we went in to face Shade Of Akama for the first time and again it was a bit of an odd fight, kind of like Nefarian Phase 1 only he basically drops down dead shortly after phase 2 starts…Nonetheless quite fun if a little easier than expected but hey it got us the rep required for the Shadow Resistance gear so now its onwards onto the slightly tougher (hopefully) Teron Gorefiend and the rest of the bunch in the Black Temple and ofc still got a few to deal with in Hyjal to keep us busy for the coming weeks!

Loot Was:
High Warlord Naj’entus:

• The Maelstrom’s Fury – Fantus
• Guise of the Tidal Lurker – Zeff

Supremus:

• Bands of the Coming Storm – Zeff
• Pauldrons of Abyssal Fury – Tinything

Shade of Akama:

• Kilt of Immortal Nature – Greyowl
• Wristbands of Divine Influence – Shigyn

New night, new kill to report, this time it was the turn of Anetheron to meet his maker as we continued the recent move into Mount Hyjal and soon the Black Temple as well. This ones just another of many new kills to soon grace these pages so keep an eye out!

Loot was:

• Bastion of Light – Amadrienia
• Enchanted Leather Sandals – Graager

Throughout all the blood, sweat and tears we struggled and that was just officer chat after poking fun at Yakujim…

In the end however we stood triumphant over the corpse of one of the major bosses in The Burning Crusade – Kael’Thas Sunstrider. Apparently us “Insolent Monkeys” weren’t quite able to finish the job and he was soon back in Shattrah to taunt us but hey it felt good to have beaten one of the most technical encounters we’d been faced with. Congratulations are in order to all who were there not only on the night but on the various nights leading up to the kill itself and a much deserved pat on the back etc to all.

Loot was:

• Chestguard of the Fallen Hero – Aphadon
• Chestguard of the Fallen Hero – Yakujim
• Royal Gauntlets of Silvermoon – Vierklauw
• Sunhawk Leggings – Rinnoa
• Verdant Sphere – Batou

And ofc the all important Kael’s Vial Remnant for all in the raid.

Movie currently available via Filefront.

Unlike Kael’Thas our next kill took a lot less time and we marked the attunement of a large group to the Black Temple with the death of Rage Winterchill, the first boss in Mount Hyjal. Was nice to get a “relaxing” boss to kill after the pain that was Kael’Thas and ofc we’re looking forward to moving deeper into BT/MH.

Loot was:

• Blood-Stained Pauldrons – Azrianna
• Rejuvenating Bracers – Graager
