My First Night in Naxx

I was part of a group that raided Naxxramas last night. I had never been inside before. I only got attuned for it a few weeks ago out of boredom. The raid was a PUG, but we did well despite the Vent server not working for a lot of people and many of us were new to Naxx.

We wiped 5 times. Three times during the Four Horsemen fight. Each time we would get a little bit further, like waves going up the beach, killing one horseman, then two, three and finally all four on the last attempt. We also wiped when we fought the Frankinstein dog Gluth and the first time we fought against Kel’Thuzad.

Kel’Thuzad didn’t leave behind a body to pose next to, just a ball of shadow and the words “Do not rejoice… your victory is a hollow one… for I shall return with powers beyond your imagining!” So get ready to see him again in Northrend. – But I don’t understand why The Phylactery of Kel’Thuzad is a quest item that only one player per raid can obtain? It seems like if we all took the time and effort to kill him we should all receive it.

A nice looking shield dropped at one point. It would really go well with a Frost Death Knight (except they can’t use sheilds). That’s another thing – playing Naxxramas made me more itchy to start a Death Knight character. There are a ton of Death Knights and Death Lords in Naxx, as well as ghouls and the voice of the Lich King can be heard, that it really puts you in the mood for WotLK.

I really enjoyed Naxx. I would list it as my favorite dungeon. Kel’Thuzad is my favorite character from Warcraft III and it was great to face off against him.
