The Warlocks Den - WoW Warlock Discussions

Well I am getting to the point that I can firmly state that the best way to stop liking wow is to run a raiding guild.

Let me outline for you:

Last week (prior to Tuesday) we finally downed heroic Faction Champions in 25 man.

A pretty solid accomplishment, at least in my opinion, due to how absolutely terrible the mechanics are.

This week we couldn't down beasts through 32 attempts. So we canceled the rest of the TotGC week and tried to form up...
