Well this last week's been interesting for me. I went from (gear wise) "Struggling to stay alive in Heroic Ramps" to "T5 instances here I come" in only 5 raids. I got to enjoy the small fruits of my guild's progression push (We managed to finish ZA, but that's about it).

So, to supplement the fact that there's not a whole lot going on in my guild with upper-tier raiding, I decided to see how many old-school raids I could 3-man with some friends. So far, managed...

My week of PUG’ing Black Temple is coming to a close tonight. We have gone 2 hours nightly, Tuesday thru Friday, and yesterday we ended up raiding 9 hours, getting as far as Phase IV on Illidan.
