So I Killed Illidan

[Lavindathar]

I know I don't frequent IW that much any more, but just popped back to have a read of the mmo forum, and inform you that last night my guild killed Illidan for the first time

3rd Horde guild on our server to do it, so

Got a legendary also

But we got a server first Bulwark of Azzinoth. Despite the other 2 guilds that have killed him before about 3 months ago, he's never dropped it yet so yay!

Hows your progress Timber?

And how you doing Mem? Got 70 on your rogue yet?

GRatz mate! I'm 68 so far, here's my toon:

I've been focusing more on pvp as I've gone along, but my guild is farming Kara now, I think the next step is probably ZA after that - hopefully that will be when I ding 70. I already have the welfare epix for 70 - I ground about 50K honor to get them lol.

[Lavindathar]

Nearly 70 then huh!

Keep going.

ZA is quite a gear step from kara, so you'll probably have to farm a nice steady full epic kara set, then maybe some gruul maggy epics.

We've beat every boss in the game, but we are still about 2 minutes off the damn bear mount, this is with people wearing T6

Don't count on PvP gear to tide you through PvE though, even for KA you will be struggling on the dmg meters. While this gear stacks up on resil. and stam, others are geared in their blue D3 set which does more dmg anyways since it's pve oriented. The weapons are the exception. I would seriously recommend getting them over say, a S1 chestpiece. Unless of course, you plan to Arena or PvP at 70 (god help you).

Grats on the awesome downing of Illidan btw, my guild last I checked is only halfway there, although I haven't raided in at least a month. Takes a lot of cash nightly to support those runs, flasks, food, repairs etc. I got kinda burned out. And yes, the timer on ZA is insanely stupid. You aren't the only t6 guild who hasn't done it yet

I'm planning to have 2 sets of armor - resilience and sta heavy stuff for pvp and agi/ap/hit heavy for pve.

As for the weps - got them already.

I dunno if ive said this before but.. Dude you should go mutilate.

With the new buff to it, 15% increased chance to crit, its pretty awesome stuff. The burst damage is soo good.. But its just a bit harder to play.

Is mutilate just what replaces backstab? Back levelling my rogue and this looks the most interesting at 70 (or shadowstep, looks so fun! ). I'm combat swords atm for levelling.

Thought about it, but I already bought the welfare epic arena swords, which cost 27K honor. So I'll stick with hemo swords which I am loving (which you recommended too) and shadowstep swords for pvp.

Gryx, undead rogue

Nuran, dwarven warrior Sold all his gear and levelled him from 61-62 naked with nothing but a white vendor bought axe. Doing much better for himself now, got the mighty grey cloth gloves, +20 FR boots and the mighty Ironforge Memorial ring

Ivelliis, night elf hunter My first character and my previous main Also sold his gear so he is wearing a lot of pre-TBC resistance gear/quest rewards which I forgot about in my bank
