I would've titled this "How to Kill Magtheridon," except there's not very much strategy that can be gleaned from this video. Still, it's an entertaining watch, and I love PvE vids. Unfortunately, there's no embedded version that I can find anywhere, which means if you do want to watch it, it'll be a 255 MB torrent or direct download. [Edit: YouTube version now in place; muchas gracias, Aphext] It alternates between MT and Paladin point of view, and it took me until halfway through the video to figure out what seemed so odd about the pally -- he's a Blood Elf! I know BC leveled the playing field gear-wise, but it still surprises me that a less-than-two-month-old character is doing bleeding-edge content, and winning at it. There's a raid warning towards the end of the video reading "Bravo first try" -- was this really Nihilum's first try on the boss? If so, bravo indeed! Also, I couldn't quite make out what the loot was, aside from one of the T4 chest tokens and some gold. Anyone have any guesses?
With a guild as established as Nihilum, I'm sure the paladins worked extra hard to close that gear gap that everyone else had with the launch of TBC. Heroics and Karazhan certainly could help a lot.
This video was also a recording of their second kill, which the one-shotted. Their first kill took them a couple nights if I'm not mistaken. That should explain the mysterious raid warning.
I R not impressed with the loot. However, I understand they are buffing the raid loot and toning down the raid fights a notch, so we will see what 2.0.10 brings us.

Loot was:
Eredar Wand of Obliteration - http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?source=live;witem=28783
Terror Pit Girdle - http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=28778
(Sorry for using Allakhazam, but wowhead.com doesn't have it in the database yet)
Pretty sure the girdle was sharded. :)

@3 Those were the first kill, not those in the video.

So, he was a Blood Elf Paladin and not one of those other kinds of Horde Paladins? I can see why you were so confused! ;)
Great vid, muchos respect to Nihilum even if my own guild are so far behind it's not even funny (although, Curator down today which was nice).

Curator slows most guilds when they first start raiding BC. It is the first fight where gear matters.

probably the first try of the day, doubt they killed him on the first try ever really..

lol - Missed the point a little I think.
Im assuming he was suprised that there was lvl 70 horde pallys already geared well enough for the latest content. ;-)
