Illidan the Betrayer Slain, Black Temple Cleared
Illidan
is down and Black Temple has been cleared, thus ending another chapter
in the book of Dream Team raiding. This kill is especially sweet due
to the summer availability issues that has plagued our small raiding
family. I want to thank every member of DT that helped make this moment
possible. Those in attendance for the kill, and those who helped us
get there. Thank you for giving it your all. Tonight we cleared Black
Temple in a total of 5 hours over the course of two nights. Six bosses
on Wednesday, and 3 bosses Thursday. Grats DT on being the first Alliance
guild on Blade's Edge to clear Black Temple. [download

Illidari Council Crushed
Oh
what fun the Illidari Council is. A long and repetitive battle that
is all about survival. Tonight on our first attempt we suceeded in
our first kill. This was our third night of attempts and fortunately
it didn't take us long to finish the job. Afterwards we eagerly ran
up the stairs and helped Akama push on Illidan's
door to break through into his room (pic

2). We cozzied up to him and took a group
photo. From there we did a half naked pull on him (half of us
were naked) just for fun and made our way to the Sunwell Plateau,
got a couple epic trash drops, a sunmote, and some hard khorium plans
before we made a couple of pulls on Kalecgos.
Mother Shahraz cleared

Six attempts was all it took for the Dream Team to down Mother Shahraz.
Three attempts from a previous night, and three tonight. In fact our
5th attempt was another classic 1% wipe. Only one encounter remains
to be cleared before we face Illidan. Grats DT on another ASF.
Faces of Death

Reliquary of Souls has been cleared and Dream Team continues to lay
waste to the Black Temple as we move closer to Illidan. It didn't
take us long once we fine tuned our strategy for phase 2 and he fell
during our second ever phase 3 attempt. Great focus and excellent
coordination was no match for this interesting encounter. Congrats
DT on another alliance first.
Bloodbath for Bloodboil
Dream Team rocked the house tonight by downing Gurtogg Bloodboil early during our second full night of attempts. Our healers really stepped it up a notch to help the Team pull off a win. After that we faced Reliquary of Souls for the first time and got phase two to under 50% without any advance preperation before the start of our raid. Way to shoot from the hip tonight, DT!
Archimonde down, Mount Hyjal cleared!
Tonight Dream Team cleared Mount Hyjal by successfully downing Archimonde on our second night of attempts. On our first night, we got him to 50% and tonight we only got under 50% once and that was all it took to finish the job. Grats Dream Team for pulling off an awesome kill and an Alliance server first in only two nights of attempts. Mount Hyjal has been cleared in 41 days. Not bad for a guild who only raids 9 hours a week. /Salute! Look out Illidan, your days are numbered.
Teron Borefiend
On our first night facing Teron Gorefiend, he fell on our fourth attempt like a sack of potatoes. Not to tough really, as long as you can handle the constructs properly. Everyone did a great job dealing with them which helped Dream Team walk away with yet another Alliance server first.
Shade of Akama and Azgalor cleared
What a great way to close the week for Dream Team after having downed four new bosses in three nights. This time, it was Azgalor and Shade of Akama's turn to face the music, both falling on our first night facing them. Grats on the guild's first T6 loot go to: Xenir, Jefferyy, and Sigismund!
Supremus and Naj'entus cleared
On our second night of attempts and a full healing team assembled for this round, High Warlord Naj'entus fell easily. Then we cleared our way to Supremus for the first time and downed him in classic DT style on our "last attempt" of the evening. Grats on two more alliance server firsts!
Kaz'rogal & Anetheron down
Tonight DT downed Anetheron and Kaz'rogal for the first time. We entered MH and on our first attempt we one shot Anetheron (tried him twice two nights before). Then we one shot Kaz'rogal on our first attempt evah. Azgolar trash was fun but we ran out of time. Gratz DT on a great finish to a great week!
Rage against the Winterchill
What a night for the Dream Team. We started by downing LadyV to finish up the guilds vial attunement quests and then moved on to Mount Hyjal for our first real night inside the instance. What a thrill it is to be finally raiding 25man content outdoors again. We quickly one-shot Rage Winterchill on our first attempt ever and decided to go turn in our time-phased phylactery and finish our Black Temple attunement. We journeyed inside BT for a quick peak and then downed Doomwalker for some loot that people could actually use. All and all it was an epic night and thanks to all who were in attendance!
Kael'thas poked in The Eye, and dies!

Kael'thas is down, the Eye has been cleared, and Tempest Keep will never be the same again. Congratulations Dream Team on being the first Alliance guild on Blade's Edge to down the girlie man formaly known as Prince Kael'thas. We hit phase 5 for the first time tonight, and on our last attempt, in classic Dream Team form, pulled off an epic win and picked up some T5 chest pieces (grats HB and Vespa!). Afterwards, we celebrated by heading into Mount Hyjal and danced with Jaina Proudmore. Black Temple, here we come!
Lady Vashj down, SSC CLEARED!

Coilfang Reserve Nuked

Doom Go Boom

DT finally got around to trying Doomwalker for the first time which resulted in a one-shot on the first attempt. What a surprise. Grats Xenir and Vesoth on the hunter guns.
A'lar Extinguished

With A'lar cleared, Dream Team sits 3/4 TK & 5/6 SSC. We've come along way and yet still have a long way to go. I want to thank our loyal members who have been with us through the thick and thin, as well as our new members who have put their trust in us. The holidays are upon us and it's time we take some time off from raiding to enjoy the season and come back stronger then ever before. Lady Vashj and Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider await us.
High Astromancer Nubarian

Leotheras the Dead

Leotheras the Blind is dead. The Dream Team came in full force tonight
starting with a 2% wipe, 1% wipe, and on our third attempt walked away
with an alliance server first. Congratulations Dream Team, this brings
us to 5 out of 6 SSC bosses cleared. Not bad for a guild that only raids
progression 9 hours a week. Lady Vashj, here we come!
Karathress Conquered

After two full nights worth of attempts, the Fathom Lord bought the
farm. The DPS team was always powerful from the start and once the Healing
team got their strategy down, the rest was history. Props to Flexappeal
for coming through with the winning healing strat that paved the way
to sweet purple victory and another Alliance first for the server. Grats
to Lolola and Nahzrak for earning the guilds first T5 leggings!
Tidewalker Cleared

Serpentshrine is full of challenges just begging to be overcome. Tidewalker
was no exception. We spent 5 solid nights on Morogrim with frustrating
wipes getting him to the low teens (11%). With a lot of core raiders
out for the night, we downed him with 8 subs which is a testament to
the calibre of players we have in this guild and another Alliance server
first.
The Momentum continues... Void Reaver down

Dream Team continues to move at high speed with our first downing of
Void Reaver. Grats to Teannah and Oceansize for receiving the guild's
first Tier 5 shoulders! Morogrim Tidewalker is next.
Hydross Hydropwned

On our 2nd night of attempts, the Dream Team turned Hydross into a puddle
of epics - for an Alliance server first. Great job everyone!
Finishing what we Started - Magtheridon R.I.P.

Magtheridon has
been a monkey on Dream Team's back for almost two months. We made on-again
off-again attempts on him during that time resulting with our best attempt
at 64%. Tonight the Dream Team came back into the Lair after several
weeks and broke new ground by finally overcoming a hurdle that had been
tripping us up for a while now. Magtheridon is cleared. The timing was
right, as we have officially put Gruul out to pasture moving him off
our weekly schedule and have made Magtheridon our new Tuesday night
entree'. Well done, Dream Team, well done.
Doom Lord Kazzak
Kazzak took
the plunge tonight thanks to an impromptu raid pulled together by Incognitoway.
All available Dream Teamers as well as pugs from other guilds (SDS and
others) came together to stomp this bad boy into the ground.
Lurking in the Caverns
Tonight the
Dream Team caught a whooper after a long night of attempts and a painful
5% wipe at the end of the trash respawn timer. Instead of calling it
a night, we cranked it up a notch and cleared our way back to ultimately
defeat The Lurker Below (an Alliance server first). Hats off to our
mages who did a bang up job keeping the adds sheeped so the Team could
goto town and gut the loot out of the Krakken.
