Yes after hours of grinding, our gets finally got opened last thrusday. But alas as i waited in a 600 player que, i began to regret loging at the gong. So what happened, i havnt got a clue :)

While most guilds jumped into AQ, we went for a nice lag free smooth BWL run. With one of our greatest nefarian kills ever. Stage 1 went smooooth as, and then we dance o jig through phase 2 and 3, then on the last 15%, our MT got ze one shotted. He then turned to the off tank, who also got 1 shotted and so on and so on.. even druids had a go at tanking.. anyway we managed to nuke him down from 10% with a good old pally tank :P

So friday was are ony/RoAQ night, and due to a epic turn out for the new zone we ran ony in 2 groups of 20. Supprising alot easyer than 40, we only had 2 deaths even with a deep breath. A nice hawt 8g reward at the end made strings a happy panda.

So on to RoAQ, and my god its fun.

The trash is fairly simple to deal with, and the first boss isnt that hard, we took him and a group of trash at the same time. But the next boss is a cool fight. Then while group one went right, our group went left. Too what must be the funest fight in wow, buru the gorger. Then some hiddious trash mobs that required some inventive tactics to complete (fancy being chain silenced, disarmed and stunned, all at the same time?). On to the huntar boss, again a good fight when you know the trick and some awsome adapting by our group got the bugger down. As the instance was reseting in 1 hour and we where down to 14 we called it a night after a quick shot a moam (50%). All in all a great well desgined zone, with complicated, fun bosses. Think new hakkar and you have a idea.

6g on candles
4g on elemental earth
40g on dreamfoil
20g on icecap
24g on repairs
Watching your 3 main tanks get "eaten by a huge fecking slime" priceless.

Did any mage spells drop on your run? or the Frost enchant for gloves?

I afraid that we are gonna have to form 2 teams,The MVB team and Gadi team, for AQ20 and farm for enchants, spells and assorted goodies.

If you have alink to any stragedies to the bosses in AQ, can u post them to us?

We got loads of shadow bolt, deadly poision, and revenge tombs. Ass load of scarabs etc, few blues quest items for the CC rep rewards (suckage). And the epic 2handed sword which got DE'ed (our group had all the asskandi MS warriors in). Group one got +30 healing power to gloves enchant, server first, they also got a few blue rings and cloaks and lots of frostbolt tombs.

We didnt have any guides on the bosses or trash, but a few peeps had been on the test server. Mainly we just pulled and tryed our best, and then came up with a workable strat. Then just rez up and go again and again untill it worked.

If you want me to ill type out our strats for the bosses in a different thread and mark it spoiler.

Full strats are available for all AQ20 bosses already.

I can post them later if people want them, and mark them *spolier*. Save 2bit some typing.

I'm sparing kitties in preparation for Wednesday's talent trees. So far the announcements sound fine (particularly "no shadow nerf" and "faster greater heal"), but I withhold final judgment pending actual trees . . . :)

A few things are wrong on the that guide, alot of the bosses where buffed post test aprently. And you cant get boss2 to into a los like firemaw (believe me we tryed). The key to that is have the npc (which respawned for us after we wiped) tank him. All the bosses would be easy if you farmed alot of nature resist of the dragons :(

Cleared up to fankriss after 7 hours. My god the new AQ40 awsome.

I do have to say they are way off with the difficulty on the bosses, they are insane. Alot harder than any off BWL bosses, huge high damage AoE's 4tl.

I got a nifty new pvp ring of sekeem:
