Got into an all guild (ok one pug Spriest) run of kara today we did a full clear with only I think 4 wipes in total (2 of which were boss related)

I got my T4 helm and Panzar'Thar chest.

Oh that reminds me, I also got my badge shield yesterday.

GL was on farm for us late last year, so hardly a new accomplishment, but to 1-shot Maulgar, Gruul, and Magtheridon in under two hours is a pretty big step for us, and one that'll definitely give everyone a boost of confidence. So much of succesful team activity is the "expectation to win." Good teams always believe they're going to win and don't accept failure. This should give us strong momentum going into Thursday's SSC run where the goal is to clear through FLK.

Little league at its best!

Hydross first time Sunday, Hydross one shot tonight, Lurker finally dead good lord people we're doing the 25 man raid thing... without recruiting a bunch of ringers we're just pulling it up by our own damned bootstraps (and, well, tankspot.com and wowwiki and wowhead and and and, well OK).

We're light years ahead of where we were last month: bickering, not raiding, people leaving the officers group because they couldn't put up with the drama....

Many guilds are doing this. Our guild considered doing this, but it's the wrong choice. While yes Hyjal and BT offer a number of early bosses that are much, much easier to learn, they do not offer superior loot to that of Kael's first boss kill.

Don't forgot the rings. The first time you kill Kael you'll probably have 22 members of your raid minimum suddenly completing the quest for a ridiculously powerful ring. Couple that with epics off Kael and you are looking at over 25 high quality...

• When "wipe it up" is called in the raid, don't try to run away if the boss isn't resettable and you don't have an aggro dump (ie. everyone that isn't a Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Warlock?). Warriors, please just stand there and take it so the healers don't have to track all over for your corpse.
• "Hold DPS" means STOP DPSing. You'll get a chance again very soon I promise.
• When you get aggro, run TO the tank, not away.
• If you get aggro on Hydross, please be on the proper side
