The last time "The Twins" was splashed across our guild chat with such regularity we were in the middle of AQ40 and enjoying our tanks getting tickled for 10-12k in a second (this was when tanks had 10k hp). This time the Twins were marginally better to look at and fortunately marginally less annoying.

Theses two charming ladies offer a devastating combination of fire and shadow but a fair amount of diversity is given by letting you choose which one to poke first. That is not to say that they were easy - to start with they presented a few problems. On the face of it they were looked favorites to kick our asses - i mean who would you choose to put your money on!

Needless to say after our first attempts met with failure we felt the need to rethink our tactics. Our initial attempts to boost our current raid members to Superman status did not work overly well….

Time for a rethink!

On all new bosses we like to counter their abilities with better ones of our own - we like to hone our skills, take on board comments regarding our play and in the need arises recruit. Firstly we needed our own imba stare to combat their fierce approach to life!

Then true to form we need to expand on our tactics - and how better to do so than debating how we can improve and offering hints and tips for other classes!

Our warriors explained to our rogues how to backstab properly

Our feral was sent to learn some new tricks from his superiors

The debate of windfury Vs GOA was solved with a gentle bribe

and finally two of our core members decided they needed some upgrades!

Some people however felt that they needed even more help in order to maintain dps

Finally we sent our some of our faithful members to seek our additional healers….

All this prep work would not be a success without a master plan - and in order to concoct one we needed some excellent ideas!

Now all that remained was execution!

It has to be said for a fight so deep inside SWP the loot from this is pretty crap and even our first kill was blighted by having to vendor and void some loot. Still 4 weeks on it is nice to know that we get to vendor loot each week. Awesome.

And now for something really scary…..

(look an exciting new room to die in!)

Elsewhere in guild we celebrated more time in BT o/ However this was not all in vain as our first set of glaives appeared nicely.
