Wing IT












WingIT our 3-man raiding team has recently managed to take down and clear all of Black Temple! Huzzah :D
Previously at level 80 we managed to do up to Reliquary Of Souls but the interrupting was a bit to intense for us to handle without the use of slowing cast effects. This prevented us from trying our hand at Mother shahraz, The Illidari Council and of course Illidan Stormrage.
Going back there for the first time at 85 and recently having the change of Arcane Torrent and Strangulate able to interrupt PvE mobs, along with Zaifon packing a 6 second CD on his interrupts, we thought it should now be doable. First couple of attempts went a bit pear-shaped, I think we wiped twice before we decided to force Akaize to interrupt to, then it went smoothly and we managed to down it.
We already knew Mother would be a piece of cake, so literally just went in and hit her in the ovaries.
As for Council we actually wiped once, thinking we just might be able to get away with zerging it down, But I died from the damage output from the mage, and the other two followed in pursuit, wiping at 23%.
We banged our heads together and went with the safe alternative and Akaize switched to resto, we charged in, My job being to tank all the mobs whilst Zaifon just casually beat down the priest, I would swap target if he needed me to interrupt. As we initiated the pull and got on our correct targets, we then we realised the mobs were still on 23%.. How that occurred I've no idea. Not that I particularly minded.
And they all fell down together.

As For Illidan, It seemed whether we were prepared or not it doesn't take any effort to kick him in the groin, the fight went flawlessly, we bypassed phase 4 and it was over in no-time at all.
The hardest encounter is definitely RoS in my eyes.
We will now go on to farm this place until I get both the [warglaives of Azzinoth]! Which since Cataclysm release are able to be worn my Death Knights. Yippee!
Here's our killshot - As always click for fullview.


Yeah that's all cool n' That but who the nether is 'WingIT' exactly?!

WingIT is a non-competitive, casual 3-man raiding team. Consisting of Akaize, Linanthus and Zaifon.
Our goal is to see just how many of the old raids we can 'Wing' so to speak.
We have been going at this since level 70 with slight switches to the team, in both member aspect and class.
So far we have cleared the following:
Vanilla
Molten Core 
Blackwing Lair 
Zul'gurub 
Dragons of Nightmare
Azuregos 
Ruins of Ahn'qiraj
Burning Crusade
Zul'aman 
Karazhan 
Gruul's Lair 
Magtheridon's Lair
Doom Lord Kazzak
Doomwalker 
Hyjal Summit
Black Temple

We've also killed various bosses in Tempest Keep and Serpent Shrine Cavern - Since we are casual we are not pushing hard to go to all the places, but more go for the more enjoyable and challenging encounters.
Here's a small introduction to the current members of WingIT.

I love doing 3man old school raid content with Akaize and Zaifon because we have a great laugh on skype, It's also very easy and not stressful as the three of us are a great team. I would assume some of you are thinking '3 MAN?! THERE'S NO SKILL IN 3MANNING, WHY DON'T YOU TRY AND SOLO!' Well, Soloing from past experience is quite boring, SLOW and perhaps even stressful in cases. and we aim to kill the bosses to get cash (And personally of course I love collecting all sorts of roleplay gear.) We are not competitively trying to down bosses before other people, nor are we trying to brag that we did bosses 3 man, Heck I'm sure anyone reading this could do if they had the mateys to go with them.

Tell us a bit about yourself: I'm 21 year old male and have been playing since open beta. Favourite past-time in WoW is PvE and have always been. My reason for being in Wing it is mostly about money but also to see how much you can dumb down fights when it comes to overgearing.
Message to the readers: Don't play mage in PvP!
