Spirits were running high after Wednesday's wildly successful Hyjal raid — including our first ever one-shot of Archimonde! — and Saturday's 4/9 clear of Black Temple. We knew Gurtogg Bloodboil was going down last night. The only question was ... when?

Would it be another Sunday of our trademark 1% wipes and last-minute, do-or-die kill? Or would we experience the smooth one-shot Keaton had his paws crossed for?

Third attempt, was Saffi's response.

Before 8, said Kich.

It turns out they were both right, as Surreality three-shot Gurtogg Bloodboil seconds before the server clock struck eight.

Great job, everyone! This was another one of those fights where every member of the raid had a crucial role to play: from the tanks trading aggro on a taunt-immune boss, to the Bloodboil groups dancing in and out of max range, to the healers keeping everyone alive through massive amounts of damage.

Huge kudos to our healers for that, by the way. Since Gurtogg seems to love me even more than his dear friend Teron does, I got to experience firsthand (three times, no less!) how truly awesome you were last night. <3
