Kael'thas poked in The Eye, and dies!
Kael'thas is down, the Eye has been cleared, and Tempest Keep will never be the same again. Congratulations Dream Team on being the first Alliance guild on Blade's Edge to down the girlie man formaly known as Prince Kael'thas. We hit phase 5 for the first time tonight, and on our last attempt, in classic Dream Team form, pulled off an epic win and picked up some T5 chest pieces (grats HB and Vespa!). Afterwards, we celebrated by heading into Mount Hyjal and danced with Jaina Proudmore. Black Temple, here we come!
Lady Vashj down, SSC CLEARED!
Cairne Asada - Sunday Night BBQ
Coilfang Reserve Nuked
Doom Go Boom
DT finally got around to trying Doomwalker for the first time which resulted in a one-shot on the first attempt. What a surprise. Grats Xenir and Vesoth on the hunter guns.
A'lar Extinguished
With A'lar cleared, Dream Team sits 3/4 TK & 5/6 SSC. We've come along way and yet still have a long way to go. I want to thank our loyal members who have been with us through the thick and thin, as well as our new members who have put their trust in us. The holidays are upon us and it's time we take some time off from raiding to enjoy the season and come back stronger then ever before. Lady Vashj and Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider await us.
High Astromancer Nubarian
Leotheras the Dead
Leotheras the Blind is dead. The Dream Team came in full force tonight
starting with a 2% wipe, 1% wipe, and on our third attempt walked
away with an alliance server first. Congratulations Dream Team,
this brings us to 5 out of 6 SSC bosses cleared. Not bad for a guild
that only raids progression 9 hours a week. Lady Vashj, here we
come!
Karathress Conquered
After two full nights worth of attempts, the Fathom Lord bought
the farm. The DPS team was always powerful from the start and once
the Healing team got their strategy down, the rest was history.
Props to Flexappeal for coming through with the winning healing
strat that paved the way to sweet purple victory and another Alliance
first for the server. Grats to Lolola and Nahzrak for earning the
guilds first T5 leggings!
Tidewalker Cleared
Serpentshrine is full of challenges just begging to be overcome.
Tidewalker was no exception. We spent 5 solid nights on Morogrim
with frustrating wipes getting him to the low teens (11%). With
a lot of core raiders out for the night, we downed him with 8 subs
which is a testament to the calibre of players we have in this guild
and another Alliance server first.
The Momentum continues... Void Reaver down
Dream Team continues to move at high speed with our first downing
of Void Reaver. Grats to Teannah and Oceansize for receiving the
guild's first Tier 5 shoulders! Morogrim Tidewalker is next.
Hydross Hydropwned
On our 2nd night of attempts, the Dream Team turned Hydross into
a puddle of epics - for an Alliance server first. Great job everyone!
Finishing what we Started - Magtheridon R.I.P.
Magtheridon
has been a monkey on Dream Team's back for almost two months. We
made on-again off-again attempts on him during that time resulting
with our best attempt at 64%. Tonight the Dream Team came back into
the Lair after several weeks and broke new ground by finally overcoming
a hurdle that had been tripping us up for a while now. Magtheridon
is cleared. The timing was right, as we have officially put Gruul
out to pasture moving him off our weekly schedule and have made
Magtheridon our new Tuesday night entree'. Well done, Dream Team,
well done.
Doom Lord Kazzak
Kazzak took
the plunge tonight thanks to an impromptu raid pulled together by
Incognitoway. All available Dream Teamers as well as pugs from other
guilds (SDS and others) came together to stomp this bad boy into
the ground.
Lurking in the Caverns
Tonight
the Dream Team caught a whooper after a long night of attempts and
a painful 5% wipe at the end of the trash respawn timer. Instead
of calling it a night, we cranked it up a notch and cleared our
way back to ultimately defeat The Lurker Below (an Alliance server
first). Hats off to our mages who did a bang up job keeping the
adds sheeped so the Team could goto town and gut the loot out of
the Krakken.
Gruul Down
High King Dethroned
The Two Karazhan Teams Are Up and Running!
Karazhan Cleared
Tonight, with the downing of Nightbane, the Dream Team has officially "cleared" Karazhan of all it's challenges. Our guild has been around for three and a half months now. We are still young, still small, and we still have room for more as we continue to build our 25man raiding team. I'd like to personally thank every member of the guild for their contributions in making this guild the success that it is. Our accomplishments are a testament to the quality and the talent of every single member. I'd also like to thank the Officer team, for all their hard work and behind the scene efforts to keep this guild moving in the right direction, despite the obstacles we have faced. The future looks bright for us - let's continue to aim high and make those dreams come true.
Nightbane Down
After downing the Prince for more T4, we took on our final Karazhan challenge and attempted Nightbane for the first time. After more wipes then we'd care to admit, the dragon fell - thus achieving a major milestone for the Dream Team by putting Karazhan on "cleared" status. After the fight we decided to celebrate by attempting the only boss left alive in the instance and one shotted Illhoof to round out the week by clearing all of Karazahan (all bosses and encounters) from start to finish in 9 hours 15 minutes (3 raid nights at 3 hours per night in one week) for quite possibly a server first
Netherspite Down
Watch the Netherspite Kill Vid! With Netherspite down, the only boss that stands in our way of a full Karazhan clear is Nightbane. We wiped three times practicing a new strat which was perfected on our fourth attempt. The result was one dead dragon, no deaths, and everyone at full health at the end of the fight. Great work everyone! Present for the kill but not pictured: Chodakus.
Terestian be Ill'n
Watch the Illhoof Kill Vid! Illhoof was easier than we expected. It was a fun fight, and he was even kind enough to drop a cape for Sigismund.
The Demon Formerly Known as Prince
What can we say? This guy looks tough, but he went down without much trouble. He's our new T4 token vendor, and we love him for it.
Strangely enough the Infernals pushed us back by the door, even though the doors close since the patch. Maybe Prince has gotten so used to the place that he just doesn't feel right not dying over there.
You Had it Coming Aran
Aran, the boss we all love to hate finally went down tonight. Maybe it was the patch, or maybe we're just that good - who really cares? That guy really just needed to die.
Romulo and Julianne
What a night for the Dream Team. Four bosses in 3 1/2 hours. Attumen, Moroes, then off to the Opera. After a wipe to determine the Opera event, we downed Romulo & Julianne on the next attempt for a guild first - thus completing the Opera trilogy. Curator was next in our sights and we downed him first try (2nd time ever). Everyone worked hard and did an excellent job! Grats to Zaharah on her T4 gloves!
