At first glance, the Blood Prince Council is a very complicated fight.  You’ve got 3 different bosses, each with at least 3 different abilities to watch out for and a shared health pool.  The first few times your raid goes in may be like a madhouse… people flying all over the screen, taking damage everywhere, and wipes [...]

Professor Putricide is the last boss of the Plagueworks wing of Icecrown Citadel.  Phases 1 and 2 require a lot of coordination while Phase 3 is a big gear check.  With a limited number of attempts to down him, you’ll need to make sure to bring your best game to every attempt.

Malygos is the pinnacle of Patch 3.0 raiding.  Sure, you can go on to do Sartharion with 3 drakes, but Malygos is the last unique raid boss your guild will come up against before heading into Ulduar in Patch 3.1.  Malygos is an intense, exciting fight that will definitely challenge your ability to keep everyone [...]
