Cataclysm: What does it mean for the guild?


Deathwing is stirring, he's got a hankering to bust out of Deepholm and make Azeroth his bitch. Full details of his arrival are not yet known but one thing is for sure, Stormbringer will be ready!

Our Guild leader Thorn and his doting bootlick Darkrevan have plans to venture over to the Alliance in the form of new pups on the block; Worgens. Goblins will be a big pull for a lot of you but the opportunity to bark at the moon is too cool to pass up.
Of course, this faction shift will involve an affiliate Alliance guild being set up, which of course all members of Stormbringer who have Alliance alts are welcome to join.

What is everyone planning come Cataclysm? Who is going to experiment with the new classes? Who can grit their, bite their lip, hold their nose and become a member of the Alliance?? Comments below please...

LEEEROOOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!



Today's raid on Blackrock was a resounding success!

Uber-Paladin Thorn ushered a small group of adventurers into Blackrock to massacre those Rookery whelps and honour the memory of the one they call Jenkins. All those involved earned a much coveted title and a couple of pets to boot.

Well done guys and thanks for showing up!

Dungeon Profile: Blackrock Depths


Perhaps one of the biggest and most satisfying instances in World Of Warcraft vanilla (and the exapansions for that matter), is this Dwarf stronghold. From the opening skirmish in the prison complex to the final battle with Thaurissan, Blackrock is an epic run.

PROS

  1. Varied design means that there are dozens of ways to tackle this instance
  2. Boss battles are frequent and awesome
  3. There's a tavern!
CONS

  1. The sheer size of Blackrock can be daunting for some and the schlep back from the graveyard is ALWAYS a chore.
  2. Getting the torches to open the way to Thaurissan can be a punishing experience for groups that don't work together.
  3.  There is a lot of trial and error involved in besting the entirety of the instance.
Best Boss: Thaurissan
