Well I never got round to saying we downed the Illidari Council (the day after we killed Mother Shahraz) and then Wednesday/Thursday re-cleared up to Illidan again. Sunday we spent pretty much all day wiping on him learning the fight — our best attempt was 8%. Monday one of our fire resistance tanks didn’t show, but Tuesday we had another geared up and after a few more hours of wipes we killed him! Black Temple cleared! Only 6 bosses left in the game that I’ve never killed! We’re not geared for Sunwell yet but in a few weeks we’ll be going and giving it a go. I’m well pleased with our progress — it took the guild about 2 months to clear MH and BT!

Side note: during our Illidan kill attempt, around 32%, my keyboard batteries died. When Maiev showed up I ran to get another to plug in. Thankfully while I was away I didn’t wipe the raid. Also had someone banging on the door while all this was going on — didn’t answer it, still no idea who it was! Even with all that I still managed to come second on the healing meters. Go me!
