Closer to Killing Illidan

My guild currently takes two nights to clear the bosses in Black Temple where the final boss of the Burning Crusade awaits. The Lord of the Outlands; Illidan Stormrage, the Betrayer

We've been "working" on him now for a few weeks and I think he's killed me at least 30-40 times by now. We came much closer last Thursday getting him to phase 5! Almost there!

Hardcore raiding takes a certain mindset for bringing down a new boss. Don't think that you're just going to walk into the room and he/she will fall over dead at the site of you. These guys are difficult and everyone in the raid MUST do their job, whether its staying out of the fire, running to the right place when you have the debuff, or simply doing whatever it takes to stay alive!!

I'm not going to go into a treatis on how to raid, if you are at this level you already know. But for this guy you really have to Pay Attention like you did on Archimonde! I think our raid leaders must say that more than anything else but that really is the key... Pay Attention. Don't get so involved with your spell rotation or healing bars that you don't see the fire under your feet!

I really hate getting the question "Now what happend there?" with my name attached! It sends shudders down my back just thinking about it. Yet that is the way you learn to make sure you're doing your job and paying attention to your surroundings.

Just remember "You are not Prepared!" He's "Blind, not Deaf!"
