Lich King Promo Filmed by Molagmar

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLL YEAH!!! I always seem to start with something similar like that, so what will it matter if I do one more!

TBC is now finally concluded with Kil'jaeden dead Server first. With this boss down we conclude our streak of not only all server firsts in Sunwell but all server firsts of all bosses of TBC raiding instances.

Wow I'm sitting here like always at night typing, only difference is that I don't know what to actually type. As all guilds do and even Balance, we also step down from progress raiding during summer. Going down to at best farm raids if even that, and here we are after yet a mere reset of us returning to progress raiding and Kil'jaeden is already dead. I think I only have one way to explain that, and that is dedication!





The kill was flawless with only one person dead in the end and that was because of Thousand souls boom after controlling dragon! As for the bossfight itself it's pretty straight forward but yet very technical and has it's dps checks at points which makes this encounter a bit harder to master. That's what I love about the fight. Prenerfed M'uru was still harder then this though but that was just because of the crazy dps requirement. Sure you still need the dps to manage KJ but it's not as unforgiving in terms of if one person dies it's a wipe like on M'uru prenerf.



Killing this boss was bittersweet though. I can't let it go unnoticed that certain hardcore people and some of the backbone raiding peeps were not able to join in on the boss and it makes me sad. Sure we all did it in the name of progress to maximize the strength of the raid so we could easier get it down but I do feel somewhat sad for people with next to near 100% attendance and hardcore peeps like Aimee, Siriom, Yunia, Cless and ofc Babyblue for not beeing able to be in on the first boss kill. These are few of the people I am dedicating this bosskill first and foremost to. Thanks guys you have my deepest respect. Obviously I have to thank more and that is OFC the whole guild for beeing the guild I needed you to be to get this last and ofc all the way from the first server first to the last. Thanks to all officers for their hard and lasting work for the guild! I know firsthand the job you guys do in the background and I could not have done it without you guys! The last select few I will mention are the really old Balance veterans like I always do. We decrease every instance but there are still a few of us left and I think it's worthy of recognition to proove just how loyal people can be. SO thanks like always Fowl, Agelmar, Sapphire and Aimee. It's guys like you that show just how awesome raiding can be when raiding with peeps like you.



I know I can be damn harsh when it comes to raiding but I try to see it from the side that I'm doing it for the progress and for the guild. So if I stepped on anyones toes, which I surely did I apologize for that.

But for now The Balance Crusade is concluded and we did it like expected of us. If you're wondering what is to become of Balance, the answer is simple. We will continue for a bit more before we take a nice and well deserved break until WOTLK!

In regards with loot we also kept another tradition going, the one where we get sucky loots from end bosses and from first kills, haha! I guess some things never change!

Yes movie is beeing made so just hold your horses!

OMFG! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!! FINALLY!
This is without a doubt the hardest boss Balance have ever attempted EVER! Not the hardest in terms of finding taccs or getting a good understanding of the boss in its 2 phases, but the hardest in terms of raid dps and raid healing! The requirement is just SIIIIICK! This boss is CRAZY hard where you need EVERYTHING to be perfect! One silly mistake and it's a wipe. It's THAT hard! This boss was also killed as a server first and the 5th in the Sunwell! For this post I had my good friend Shev helping me again, there are lots of stuff that needs to be said!

There were screamings on ts, that reminded ALOT of the Cthun ones! A shouting crowd, and jumping like insane is what we all did when Muru went down or shall I say ENTROPIUS!!. The key to success is basically, wipe like hell and learn the frigging boss, untill you perfect it one by one. It's insanely annoying as it sounds. That's a sad fact!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this boss is a a guild killer! So many guilds have already succumbed to the might of this boss. And wiping for so many resets, peeps never lost sight and hope in Balance, and down the boss went! That's what makes this kill so special. Hardest shit we faced and we ne NEVER gave up on a guild killer boss! So unless you are willing to face that challange and prove your worth or strength, do not attempt this boss. Kill the boss, or you will be killed. This boss is gonna act like a benchmark for future reference in applications just like pre tbc cthun, and end bosses of Naxx. If you've done M'uru pre WOTLK, then you are gonna have imba experience and skill. And I hope they NEVER nerf this encounter, but naturally it wont be hard at all when Wotlk arrives.

The pressure of this boss is just simply amazing, and yes we had very huge pressure in the guild no doubt about that. When we first faced this boss Balance had to step up another notch and we did! Never before have I seen the guild so willing so DEDICATED, in killing a boss that it's actually a wonderful joy leading a fine guild like this. This is without a doubt a kill well deserved for all our dedication!



Would like to mention and ofc give the credit for all of the Balancians, for those who have been wiping 5 hours every 4 days on M'uru, learning the boss and limiting their personal mistakes. Also those who weren't complaining and gave it their effing ALL. This is the spirit that Balance always had.

I want to personally thank you all from that wiped so many a time and never gave up ever! I want to thank some of the new recruits aswell, welcome this is what you signed up for, and also a big thanks to Grizzi for the imba POV!

The pressure is lifted from this boss, and as we are about to embark on the last journey of TBC and Sunwell I can only hope that peeps stay as vigilant and as dedicated so we can clear this in style!!

Kil'Jeaden here we come! And we HUUUUUUUUUUNGRY!

The loots could have been better as in trinket better, which we clearly deserved, but looting wasn't bad at all, well except for the crap pvpring!
Yeah last thing, movie inc. =)
