Yowza... it's been since last April that you all have actually heard about any REAL progress we've had here in the world of BAMF (and even LONGER since you've heard from me). Well... We're going to try and change that. What better way to start that off than to bring you this news. BAMF cleared Icecrown Citadel's 10 man raid the first night we tried. We also got the achievement for the Saurfang encounter. We went and made all kinds of a mess with ol' Draenosh's pimp juice. Couldn't have been done without the wonderful kiting abilities of Dralane and Lyonsmain. Well done, guys.

Since it's been a week since that release, I'm also happy to tell you that our little 10 man group went and did it again. This time we brought Pinkcrusader along for the ride to tank. Our DPS was definitely more coordinated this time as we all got Boned on Marrowgar. It ended rather sloppily, with Unusual and Hibernia keeping DPS up when tanks dropped, but it worked. Deathwhisper went much more smoothly. Especially compared to our foray in ICC25. The gunship battle, once again, brought about everyone's inner child. After bouncing around for a few minutes (to quell any urge to do so once the encounter was already in progress) we jumped into things... well all of us except Pinkcrusader. Sending him over on the last offensive displayed just how important it was to have that extra week of experience. Ship to ship, buddy, not ship to crater. All was fine though, as we prepped for Saurfang, week 2. It took a couple of attempts to really get in the swing of things, but once all the kinks were worked out, once again we made a mess of the poor possessed orc (note for RP dorks: Blah blah blah frostmourne turning etc. etc. Why do you hate alliteration?).

In other news, our alt ICC10 has also cleared the Lower Spire without much trouble. Whether this is should raise questions as to whether Blizzard really needed to nerf Marrowgar is still up for debate, but we're certainly glad to be able to gear up more characters than ever before. I hope that in the coming week or two, we'll be able to present our 25 man clear.

Two and a half years later BAMF finally clears BWL. Although the guild almost failed since most raiders forgot (or DE'd/sold) their Onyxia Scale Cloaks in the end we had a tank, a healer, and at least one DPS alive to destroy Nefarian. The raid consisted of Wixteria, Unholyshalu, Lunarstitch, Hulkkar, Caprika, Eeclypse, Drzoid, Odyar, Sheliak, Nerdboy, and Diabõlus. The phat lootz included Neltharion's Tear (Diabõlus), Serenity Belt (Diabõlus), Head of Nefarian (Odyar), Prestor's Talisman of Connivery (Wixteria), Robes of Transcendence (Caprika), Girdle of Uther (Nerdboy), Brutehammer of Strength (Nerdboy), and Netherwind Robes (DE).
