Vaelastrasz the Spanish dwagon with ETA background brought to justice.
What can I say? He really had a bad tooth, infact it was so sore he could only fight back a hour each day before going hiding. Tigule + Foror should be more than aware that blowable spawns, unavoidable death touches + fucked up healing balance annoy and aggrevate their playerbase. How about not repeating these mistakes in v1.90, mmkey?

In any case, Umbrage is now among the few raiding guilds in EU-WoW that have downed Vael legit. Several of you cocky bastards with kill screenshots that show either warlock, location or mind vision exploits, shame on you. Intime, they will catch you and bittersweet whining will result. We will laugh. Alot.

Even with the slight problems with the encounter design of Vael, this boss was a sweet one to down. Blizzard-EU’s inability to run the servers properly resulted in half of our attempts in the past 3 weeks being wasted, however these problems just made our victory sweeter in the end. Fact that Vael requires excelent strategy and execution from every player in the raid truly makes this an epic team encounter.

Here is the proud team in front of the dragon. Loot was ok, though no dagger meaning our horrible luck with weapons continue.

After Vael we fought pretty much the hardest trash mobs ingame. Pull of 8 mobs that can wipe even seasoned guilds without excelent handling. Frankly, we were first dazed by this trash and we had no idea how to kill em. But then Umbrage tactical crew started getting drunk and ideas popped. (wtb - more beer) Awarness of Abilities - Counters - Execution lead us to this pretty sight:

After of two hours of clearing and figuring out how to deal with the massive area that can only be descripted as 2d-rubics cube we had the pleasure of meeting this guy:

71% now. Stay tuned for more, Broodlord Slashlayer - you are going down.
