During the week before the expansion Ilterendi stayed very busy. We finished clearing another wing in Naxxramas and did some Ahn’Qiraj. In Naxxramas we had been working on Loatheb, the last boss in the Plague Wing. Mostly the fight is a lot of consumables preparation. The week before we had done some dry runs but this time everyone brought their shadow protection potions. We got all buffed up went in and got him on the first try!
In Ahn’Qiraj the mood was one of anticipation and a little sadness. This was probably one of the last Ahn’qiraj runs we would do before the expansion, possibly the last. On one hand everyone was looking forward to the new content, but saying goodbye to the old is hard. On Skeram I was polymorphed into a pig and had a nice laugh.
Everyone was on their best behavior (or not) since we wanted the last run before the expansion to go well (or maybe just fast). What do you do when the raid leader says jump? You ask how high. What do you do when the raid leader says stand on one spot? You stand all in a line. I will miss Ahn’Qiraj but at the same time I won’t while enjoying new content, and the reality is we will be back for one more piece of the Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.
