Victory or Death!
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »A nice, smooth raid last night. First four bosses in Mount Hyjal all one-shotted, with a distinctly relaxed air to the raid, followed by a quick trip to Black Temple to take down Teron Gorefiend. I've no idea what was different, ...
