They've done it again. The
first guild to kill M'uru,
SK Gaming (of Vek'nilash EU), is now the first guild in the world to
kill Kil'jaeden himself, the last boss of the
Sunwell Plateau and of
The Burning Crusade. The
gate to the encounter has been open for three days in Europe. As
Nihilum notes, SK's kill does end Nihilum's tradition of taking down every end boss in
WoW since C'Thun. This is almost certainly the last world first we'll see until
Wrath of the Lich King. The US first on Kil'jaeden is, of course, still up in the air.
Their loot was:
The winning raid has one feral druid, three hunters, one mage, two paladins, four priests, three rogues, five shamans, four warlocks, and two warriors (Thanks to
Nihilum for this info, and thanks to Eiel for corrections). SK promise that a video is in the works; as always, we'll keep you posted. Grats to SK!

Surprisingly fast. Grats to SK-Gaming.
Jonny McCormack May 24th 2008 8:45PM
Disappointingly fast, in my opinion at least.

Jonny: That's what she said?
Zarzuur May 25th 2008 7:12AM
Gz! They got 1st and 2nd on the rest, so I guess they were best-placed to do this.
But only 3 badges for the last boss of TBC ? What are they going to buy with that! :D
Eiel May 24th 2008 8:32PM
Actually this is the right raid setup:
1 Feral Druid: Sammyjankis
2 Beast Mastery & 1 Survivalist Hunter: Hunex Munken Valandu
1 Mage: Gazz
2 Holy Paladins: Fenira Mackelina
2 Holy & 2 Shadow Priests: Diomache Narilka Pmastah Tohrazer
1 Sublety & 2 Combat Rogues: Ikku Krematoria Zkygge
4 Resto & 1 Enhancement Shamans: Baotin Mekon Morphling Neg Sbe
4 Destruction Warlocks: Ekyo Fafhrd Hypnotòad Mys
1 Protection & 1 Arms Warriors: Jabez Ronnie

" one feral druid, three hunters, one mage, two paladins, four priests, three rogues, five shamans, and one warlock. No warriors. "
1+3+1+2+4+3+5+1 = 20 ... guess eiel is better suited for the class composition reporting job
Eliah Hecht May 25th 2008 12:22AM
Yikes, sorry about that. Not sure where the error came in -- whether Nihilum listed it wrong or if I just read it wrong -- but thanks for the corrections.

Seems to be becoming a common theme with you.
"Do not post alpha content", was also misread as
"It's ok, if we just link it and discuss it, they won't get pissy!"
Xecnamalain May 25th 2008 1:11PM
I am very interested in the role the mage played and ofcoures his talenting, could you perhaps link the tree and discuss this?
FancyRat May 27th 2008 3:20AM
Nicely named, esp. Hypnotoad and Sammyjankis.

So...1 mage 4 locks ... 4 resto shamans
Blizz needs to look on how they balance this game.
Remember this when a guild down Arthas
I bet you anything the group comp will be alot of warlocks, shamans, ,and rogues. How the mage has become so worthless( ms warriors out dps them)
I find it funny there is a feral in there...prolly couldn't find a fury warrior at the time.

"So...1 mage 4 locks ... 4 resto shamans

While I agree things are a bit wonky right now in some particulars, it's a really bad idea to use a world first kill to comment on class balance. A month from now when the fight is better understood what is best for the fight could change considerably. More importantly, on bleeding edge content different classes get swapped in for every boss.
Nick S May 25th 2008 3:45AM
i dunno. it's not exactly news that warlocks have become the premiere ranged dps class. this is just another point on the graph.
Wink May 25th 2008 5:43AM
Mages have been unfavored by "bleeding edge" guilds for almost the entirety of the burning crusade at this point. Everything a mage does a warlock can do better. The gripe certainly isn't new or surprising.
Skarlette May 25th 2008 2:15PM
@ Wink: "Everything a mage does a warlock can do better."
Warlocks can make food/water, open portals, polymorph, buff for Int AND tank Krosh Firehand? Wow! That IS impressive!
Toecaro May 30th 2008 5:10AM
whoa whoa whoa! warlocks are the premier ranged dps?! what about hunters! :D
Dominace May 24th 2008 10:48PM
What exactly was the subtlety rogue doing in that encounter to require to have a subtlety rogue.
Nick May 24th 2008 11:14PM
@ shinken
"I find it funny there is a feral in there...prolly couldn't find a fury warrior at the time."
I'm sure there is good reason for that - http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=2048 (Battle Shout)
wouldn't be NEARLY as helpful to the raid as
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=17007 (Leader of the Pack)
305 Attack Power vs 5% crit - that's my educated guess as to why the feral was in there.
