Congrats to our first 10-man group to defeat the Lich King on 10-man! Heroics modes are unlocked and now it’s time to focus on getting our grubby hands on some Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher mounts. What a great fight this is, so much better than the garbage that was 3.2.
So now all before us have fallen, every boss in ICC 25 has been defeated except for one… Been waiting a long time for this, you’re next Arthas!
All I can say is thank Jeebus this fight is over and done with. Took us (way) too long to get this done but here it is, and before 3.3 thankfully. For shame. After a full month of screwing around and accomplishing nothing significant, we made the hard decisions that were needed and finally started to see the progress that would lead to this kill, though it really wasn’t a very polished encounter to begin with.
Though I’m sure the popular strategy of single-tanking the adds with ridiculous gearing and a dedicated MD/TotT per add was not the preferred strategy they had in mind, retooling an entire raid just for this one fight, stacking the shit out of melee, bringing 3x (or more) Death Knights and Rogues each, respeccing to some wacky-ass shit and sitting our regulars in order to bring in people’s ALTS does not make for a fun and enjoyable fight. This acutely brought back some of the worst parts of Sunwell Plateau that shouldn’t have happened again.
In the end it comes to a lackluster filler content that never got the resources it needed to be anything but a way to buy time for the development of Icecrown Citadel. While I can understand the need for it, especially so shortly after a well-developed (and great I might add) instance like Ulduar, however I do not condone it. I’d like to give a sincere “f*** you” to Blizzard for the entirety of ToC and the subpar quality of the entire 3.2 patch compared to what we’ve all come to expect from them. Perhaps I will <3 you again after I see 3.3, but then again here we go with more artificial limiters so that remains to be seen…
Hey there, been lacking a good update for a while. Although we haven’t updated the front page in two months we’ve been far from stagnant: we’ve been working hard to finish off Trial of the Grand Crusader and have been mopping up what remain of Ulduar’s achievements. Just last night we’ve completely conquered Ulduar with the defeat of Algalon 25!
Of course to get to that point means one thing:
YEAH BUDDY!!
Of course, that’s not all we pulled out of Ulduar, no sir. A big congrats to Heffro on our second Val’anyr, this one in less than half the time of the first! Clearly resto druids are not overpowered enough without legendariez.
Last but not least, we’re grinding our way through the whole lotta stupid which is Heroic Anub’arak. We’ll be there soon enough, but I’m personally a lot more interested in Wrath of the Lich King’s penultimate patch: 3.3 and Icecrown Citadel!
Well the past few weeks we actually put some effort into finally downing Algalon in 10-man and it paid off with a one-shot kill this week. We tried for a week or two way back in June I think and hadn’t started even working on him again until about 3 weeks ago. Something like server 5583rd kill, but it’s a sweet new title to add to my already massive list!
