Q: What do you call a boss whose trash is harder than he is?
A: General Vezax.

If this guy was hard I had this whole idea about doing a B-52s parody where he was called “Cock Blockster.” However, my rule of thumb is don’t spend longer on the kill graphic than it took us to learn the fight, so instead you get this:

Loot was:
The General’s Heart - Grats Ketrew
Grips of the Unbroken - Grats Shelendil
Metallic Loop of the Sufferer- Grats Gearhard

Dumb Quotes

Couple hours and Mimiron the crazy cyborg gnome goes down. Apologize to Alan Moore but your work has been bastardized again:

Loot was:
Conqueror’s Siegebreaker Handguards - Ketrew
Conqueror’s Gloves of Sanctification - Pyram
Insanity’s Grip- Grats Xerel

Stupid Quote

Busy week for Legions, busy week for our front page. We downed four new bosses again tonight. Rather than try to come up with something clever for each or make another stupid montage, I opted to give our readers some real insight into how Blizzard designs boss encounters:

Ignis

Thorim

Freya

Emalon (barely counts)

Again, showered with more loot than a new resto shaman in SWP:

Worldcarver - Grats Carissa
Wristguards of the Firetender - Grats Varmintii
Girdle of Embers - Grats Gares
Conqueror’s Aegis Faceguard - Grats Fruitloops
Leggings of Lost Love - Grats Lifeforce
Conqueror’s Aegis Helm - Grats Aramul
Conqueror’s Siegebreaker Legguards - Grats Ketrew
Conqueror’s Aegis Greaves - Grats Lotharius
Gauntlets of Ruthless Reprisal - Grats Egokiller

Next week, onward and upwards!

Another night, few more bosses down. Too many bosses this week, I’m out of clever commentary. Auriaya is buggy and poorly designed; having her four stupid trash cats respawn midfight is real fun.

Hodir on the other hand is the life of the party and always a cool dude to have around. HO-DIR: OH YEAH!!!

Auriaya

Hodir

Loot:

Platinum Band of the Aesir - Grats Ketrew
Unwavering Stare - Grats Periwinkle
Libram of the Resolute - Grats Aramul
Northern Barrier - Grats Ketrew

Conqueror’s Deathbringer Robe - Grats Blacksabath
Conqueror’s Aegis Breastplate - Grats Fruitloops

Finishing up the first week of 3.1 tomorrow (though to be fair, we’ve really only had about 3 days worth of raiding…)!

Dumb Quotes

Remember when your guild first zoned into Hyjal and BT after killing Kael and completing the long and arduous process of keying a raid, only to be met with pinata bosses that exploded into delicious loot? Ulduar so far has been kind of like that, minus the key. Gogo casualization!

Knocked out four bosses tonight in less than an hour apiece. Here is a little montage:

Razorscale

XT-002 Deconstructor

Iron Council

Kologarn

There was a lot of loot:

Razorscale Shoulderguards - Grats Lotharius
Saronite Mesh Legguards - Grats Gearhard
Living Flame - Grats Animosity
Signet of the Earthshaker - Grats Pyram
Horologist’s Wristguards - Grats Lotharius
Sandals of Rash Temperament - Grats Epiphani
Leggings of the Tortured Earth - Grats Varmintii
Handguards of the Enclave - Grats Fruitloops
Runeshaper’s Gloves - Grats Tamika
Insurmountable Fervor - Grats Dorkette
Shoulderpads of the Monolith - Grats Carisaa
Malice - Grats Archadius
Ironmender - Grats Gargemelle

Sunday the steamroll continues…

Dumb Quotes

With the release of 3.1 today, we stretched our raiding legs and ventured inside to see what new challenges we would encounter. Inside, we met with a stark reminder of the dangers of new content:

Nonetheless, we sat around outside for a few hours and eventually managed to get inside long enough to down the Flame Leviathan:

Loot was:

Gloves of the Fiery Behemoth - Grats Dochalliday
The Leviathan’s Coil - Grats Ketrew

We also DEed some terrible necklace!

Stay tuned, more front page goodness as soon as the fallout from the patch settles down a bit and we are actually able to spend more than 10% of a 3 hour raid inside the instance.
