With the release of BWL (Blackwing Lair, Bugwing lagger, Beta-Wing
Lair, Bring Warriors [Lots], whatever it stands for..), Retribution
has seen a much needed increase in things-to-do. After waiting for
server issues to make Razorgore playable, we found it to be a very
fun and unique encounter, setting itself apart from the Molten Core
encounters just like it needed to.
After quickly dispatching him, we moved on to Vaelastrasz, which
proved to be more of a challenge, though our excellent tanks brought
him around soon enough. Blessing of Salvation, QQ, etc. The next
room was rather amusing - we were expecting an encounter of similar
difficulty, and spent a good hour working out a pull. Much to our
surprise, it turned out to be a bit of a pushover. The Whelp room,
while appearing to be a fun puzzle to begin with, became rather
tedious rather quickly. Our aversion to clearing and reclearing
motivated us to drop Broodlord Lashlayer on only our second attempt.
Prior to our next kill, Namhcir attempted to solo the Broodlord
- the fight was close, but in the end only a rogue's quiet bitching
about warriors could be heard.

Moving on to the drakes, we found in each a unique problem to solve,
requiring different solutions. Our progress was not to be slowed,
however, and in the end they proved to be entertaining but not too
difficult.



The trash mob packs seemed to be very well designed - increasing
in difficulty from beginning to end. Flumox suggested we skip one
of them. Fortunately, we decided not to, and that pack dropped an
Elementium Ore and 2 random epics! Lesson learned: never listen
to Flumox.
Erikson's new 96 dps wand has replaced all of our mages, thus opening
up more spots for characters wearing large chunks of metal.
Our attempts on Chromaggus were possibly the hardest wipes this
guild has ever taken. He's one mean puppy. We're looking forward
to having some time to play with him next week.

Also, we'd like to extend our thanks to <GM>Runtoh and <GM>Vehldane
for restoring some loot off a bugged Vaelasrasz corpse.
