Personally i think this boss is way too hard for a summer fun event ... the casual wower in blues and scattered epics trying to upgrade has almost no chance for this. My group was epicced geared and we still had issues. I prefer to start the group so i have full control on group kicks, who gets in and if their gear is up to snuff. Armory is the best!

Log of my Ahune Attempts:
6/22/08=5x but we wiped so no loots
6/23/08=10x with 2 wins (loots: 2x Shroud of Winter's Chill)
6/24/08=7x with 2 wins (loots: 2x cloaks
6/25/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: Enchant Weapon: Deathfrost+ 4 cloaks) woot!
6/26/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
6/27/08=9x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
6/28/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
6/29/08=9x with 9 wins (loots: 9x cloaks 1 Frostscythe of Lord Ahune)
6/30/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
7/01/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
7/02/08=5x with 5 wins (loots: 5x cloaks)
7/03/08=7x with 7 wins (loots: 7x cloaks)
7/04/08=(last day) 9x with 9 wins (loots: 9x cloaks)

Okies so i'm noticing a pattern here. Groups with the highest and best sucess rate are composed of raiders with T5 + with T4 as minimum. It's the raider in me but I treat my time as a comodity and if you're not geared enough for this instance then you have no business being in here.

Scythe finally dropped did i win? no. I passed for mage friend however he had the bad luck to roll a 1 and a spriest also rolled a 1 who won. Luckily I am an enchant fanatic .. otherwise i'd be seriously pissed... but then again we have a dps warrior who will roll need. wtf. ok RP and all but I wont be bringing him along anymore.

ok i'm at peace with never getting the scythe .. but my friend nearly jumped off the building when he rolled a 1 and lost to a Shadow priest who also rolled a 1. Lame!

Behold! Enchant Weapon Deathfrost! All mine!
