The Prince Dethroned

There are few encounters in this World of Warcraft that have the ability to screw you no matter what you do. The Prince in Karazhan is one such encounter, with a factor of randomness that makes this relatively simple fight into an event worthy of Vegas odds.

You can gather up 10 of the most elite players from across every server and send these veteran warriors out to do battle against this asshole, and no matter how skilled, experienced, or savvy they are, the infernals can drop in such a fashion as to end your raid.

We didn't have the elite from every server with us. What we did have were 10 pissed off, determined, and highly motivated individuals that wanted to wreck this son of a bitch and take his lunch money. Mission accomplished.

So, fights like this Prince are liquid ass. They come with their own kind of bullshit that you just have to deal with. However, in the end, when the body is dead on the floor and the loot is linked, the pain of the journey all fades away. What's left is that feeling of accomplishment. That smell of victory. Hail the conquering heroes, the beast is slain.

Or something like that anyway. Line up the next asshole, I say. There's a lot more lunch money out there that belongs to us.

Brade

Grats to those that got loot!!!
