The title says it all. On Sunday night we finished off the last two drakes and Chromagnus. We gave one attempt at Nef as it was late and got him down to 20%. We returned on Monday night and were sucessful in defeating him thus completing Blackwing Lair. Congratz to all that attended and to everyone invloved. Its been a long road and we are all happy to prove the a dedicated group of level 60's can still progress as the game originally intended.

Firemaw Down!

Last night we got the ever elusive Eye of Sufuras from Ragnaros. Congratz to Valkuria on the loot and the best part is, we had all the mats ready to go. So Welcome Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros to HoY!!

Its been a while since we have had any news to report, especially since WotLK came out but We have seen a surge in our numbers and quality of players. So over the last two weeks here is what we have done:

Onxyia - Downed multiple times

Molten Core - First downs of Garr, Geddon, Shazzrah, Sulfuron, Golemagg, Majordomo and Ragnaros. FULL CLEAR in a single night.

Blackwing Lair - First downs of Razorgore and Vaelastrasz in our first night of attempts. Then we downed Broodlord as well on Monday night!!

Hopefully more screenshots to come!

A brave, and dedicated, band of HoYers slogged through the tests of blade and deception and gained entry into the lair of the dreaded black dragon, Onyxia. It was a long slow fight, but with a sturdy main tank, plenty of good healers, some serious DPS and savvy whelp management, HoY prevailed!

Conando won the Helmet of Ten Storms and Bones won the Netherwind Crown

This officially opens up all PuG acquired tier 2 helms for guild runs and allows warriors to equip Quel'Serrar

Last but not least, here are our screenshots. Ony:

Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!
Let me hear your battle cry!!!

HUZZAH TO YOU, HERAALDS OF YORE!!!

HoY Enters Molten Core, 3 bosses down!!!

With between 17 to 23 players in raid at any given time, we managed to easily handle trash mobs. Feeling good about our ability to coordinate on trash we went for Lucifron. We took a few wipes learning how to pull the mobs and how to handle/minimize Mind Controls, but we got him. Of course the first MC drop for HoY HAD to be pally gear, Lawbringer Boots. Savic, was also able to pick up the Gauntlets of Might. This kill officially unlocked all gear previously acquired by guildies from Lucifron from PuGs. Additionally this opened up all MC BoEs.

Just as we were deciding whether to hearth and run back to MC or fight our way through respawns, Lortab logged on. Hey, with one hunter to hit tranquil shot, let's give Magmadar a try...

ONE SHOT....DEAD!!!

Very good job using fear wards and stance dancing. I don't think anyone died in that fight either. Hagroth and Donkeylipps got their pants. Cenarion Leggings & Nightslayer Pants

About this time, Iviagus finally logged on. After ribbing him for being late to raids, we came to find out why he missed AQ20 yesterday. This now gives me an excellent excuse to link a Johnny Cash song from youtube:

Heading back to Gehennas, we had more opportunities to pick up Fiery Core, Lava Core and Core Leather. This reminds me, we need to run UBRS more so we can get Finkle's Skinner.

Finally, we get to Gehennas. He drops Earthfury Gauntlets and Wristguards of Stability. With only one shaman and only one feral druid in the raid at this time, loot distribution was pretty easy.

We made a couple attempts at Garr, but are another tank and/or warlock away from taking him down. All and all, this was an incredible first run. I would have been thrilled with just one boss downing (many raids I was in before TBC came out couldn't even do that). I said we could do possibly get the first thyree bosses down, but that was more trash talking than a serious estimate of our expected progress.

Last but not least, here are my screenshots:

Additionally, I believe Gwß frapped the boss fights, so video may find it's way to youtube.
