By the end of tier 11, I was 5/6 BWD, 2/4 BoT, and 1/2 TotFW. I completed Bastion of Twilight later in the expansion, but I never completed Blackwing Descent or Throne of the Four Winds. I was recently in a strange PUG for BWD that I was sure would fail. The leader was advertising a 25-man, but 10 minutes later he gave up and decided to make it a 10-man. We started, and things went okay. One odd thing was that I was near the top of the DPS charts. (I’m a discipline priest.)
When we reached Nefarian, people started bickering. A few people dropped group after a wipe. I repeatedly interrupted the argument to ask “where do you guys want to stand at the start” and things of that nature. Eventually I got people to start talking about something I asked and to stop focusing on the argument. I just wanted to finish the raid. Luckily we made it through, and I finished Blackwing Descent for the first time.
Nefarian’s a rather fun fight. I like that after trying not to fall in the lava in vanilla, now you end up in lava during this fight. I imagine the fight was a little more interesting when you’re the correct level. Although, I’ll admit that Nefarian took a lot longer than any other fight in the raid. I didn’t win any gear, but at least I completed the raid (and earned a couple achievements on the way)!
Heroic Nefarian’s one of my favorite fights in WoW – and normal Nefarian was still interesting as well. Glad you finally got to finish it.
Thanks! It seemed pretty fun. I always have a mixed reaction when I complete old content and enjoy it. I’m glad to have done it, but sad that I missed it when it was current.
Yeah. I missed all of Wrath while it was current – and I really regret missing Ulduar.
I’ve been playing since launch day, but I never reached a level cap until Wrath. My first current-tier raid was ICC, but after much begging my guild eventually took me back to see Ulduar. I love Ulduar.
