Standard advertisement: Wreck List is the Daily Kos World of Warcraft guild. We are Horde-side on the Garrosh server. We're getting close to the membership cap, so we'll have to put you on a waiting list if you want to join. To get on the list, read this diary and visit the Guild web site. Yes, you have to be Horde. No, you don't have to be hardcore - casuals, PvPers, and people that just want to hang out on guild chat are all welcome.

Once again I managed to miss a weekly. I’m sorry, I was so fried from the trip I couldn’t even. But Papagenia tells me it’s OK to do last week’s report as she doesn’t have anything new for this week, so here we go with some catching up:
Team Pm Report for 8/24
Down Goes Kil'jaeden!
Team Pm had a truly great week! Monday night, thanks to our work the previous week, we were able to go straight to the final boss of this tier, Kil'jaeden. We expected to be working on K-J at least one or two more weeks, and for a while that looked like a reasonable timetable, as we wiped repeatedly. But we had our full team of 17 there, and we made progress, eventually getting to the darkness phase a couple of timesl, so we were encouraged. Finally, we were 20 minutes from the end of raid time, so it was pretty much last pull - and by golly, we did it! I use "we" loosely, since I personally was dead, but with about 11 or 12 people left alive, down went Kil'jaeden!!!!!! There's a pretty long cut scene when you kill him, as Illidan shows us Argus, which is where we'll be going in the next patch and eventually raid tier, and then we could bask in the satisfaction of getting the raid tier done on normal before patch day which looks like will arrive next week. I must pay special tribute to our wonderful healers, Wealtheow, Earthdream and Palleys - they 3-healed a 17 person group, and they were awesome!!
Tuesday night was great fun since we now have lots of choice for targets. We repeated our kills of Goroth and Harjatan heroic, then tried a couple of pulls on Sisters heroic. That one seemed still a bit above our pay grade, though, so we went back to normal to get to some bosses people still need loot off of. It's liberating to be able to pick and choose what we want to tackle, and of course, we hope to keep making progress on heroic! Meanwhile, we can enjoy the new patch content arriving next week!
Congratulations to Team Pm for getting Kil’jaeden down before the patch!
That's all I have for this week. For the Horde!
