In typical Clique-fashion, downed Blood-Queen Lana’thel with our last attempt for the week.

Vent lagged towards the end, and not surprisingly everyone got rather excited…

Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s the video for our 1st Blood Princes kill. Wasn’t a clean kill but we got the Orb Whisperer achievement as well so it was all good!

Goood Newws Everyone!

After wiping the 1st try of the night at an agonizing 0% (he was at 35k HP before we let him heal), we went back for revenge and downed him the 2nd try and thus clearing the Plagueworks!

Here’s a video of of us with the Prof…
(1st PoV: Exitt – feral tank, 2nd PoV: Mitigator – Holy priest)

And the killshots.

Here’s a new kill video of the new boss Festergut by one of our 10-man groups. Though it’s just a normal-mode video and a relatively simple fight, it is our first video of a kill in ICC, so I do hope you enjoy it!

As of now, Clique has one 10-man group that have successfully cleared everything in the Plagueworks, including Professor Putricide on the same day of it’s release. Our 25-man group has cleared both Festergut and Rotface and will be saving all our attempts for Monday when most of our raiders should be back.

Many thanks to Exitt for his effort in making this video.

The usual Over-achievers group got around to doing this achievement last night and got it in typical Clique fashion — on our last attempt of the night. We don’t have our own video to show but even better, we have come up with a Strategy Guide for you! Good luck in getting this achievement, it was quite fun!

The 2 videos below show the general strategy:

Hunter PoV (1:40):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihlv9wjNf7c
DK PoV (9:37): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUFUhzNrJIw

Here are some tips on how to get arguably the hardest ToC 10-player achievement:

• The Scarabs you are supposed to kill only have a minuscule Health Pool of 17k, handle them with care!
• NEVER DPS Anub’arak! You don’t need to kill him.
• You have to kite all the scarabs through 4 Burrow Phases. When Anub’arak burrows the 4th time, that’s your cue to start killing all the adds.
• Kite together! With exception of maybe the Hunters, stick together like glue!
• During the first few attempts when you learn how to kite, it may be useful to kill all the Scarabs to have an idea of how many scarabs have spawned, especially when you know you are going to wipe.
• The key to succeeding is not to let the scarabs hit you as much as possible. Acid-Drenched Mandible stacks hurt! To do this you need to stay in front of the Scarabs and stun/snare any that come from the front. The debuff stacks up to a maximum of 40, where it will hit for 48,000 per tick!
• Kill Nerubian Burrowers as fast as you can. 1 or 2 up during the kill phase is manageable, but 4 or 5 will wipe your raid.
• If you are behind the kiting pack, you may want to cut inside through the ice to rejoin the party. Sometimes, it is easier to just walk on the ice even though it slows you.

On our kill attempt, we used the following class composition:

• Tanks: Warrior (MT-Anub’arak), DK (OT-Nerubian Burrowers)
• Healers: 2x Resto druids – They are the best healers here due to the mobile nature of the encounter.
• 2x Rogues – FoK Anesthetic poison to deal with Enraged Scarabs. Able to Cloak off high stacks of Acid-Drenched Mandibles
• 2x Hunters – for Frost Traps and Tranq shot.
• 1x Ele Shaman – for Earthbinds, “Rank 1″ Frost Shocks, and Thunderstorm. Use Thunderstorm carefully – it hits for ~4k non-crit and if you are not careful Scarabs may die prematurely.
• 1x Frost Mage – “Rank 1″ Frost Nova, “Rank 1″ Blizzard. Be careful of your Water Elemental hitting Scarabs (do not glyph it) and put it to passive.

Class Tips:

• Rogues: Use the lowest DPS weapon available and imbue it with Anesthetic poison. You’ll be using this for most part of the fight, but remember to swap weapons when you start to kill all the Scarabs.
• Hunters: Stay in the ‘center’ killing orbs and Nerubian Burrowers! Lay Frost Traps in any gaps you see that Scarabs will path over. Help to Tranq Shot Enraged Scarabs. Try as much as possible to follow the kiting party so not to be out of range of heals. Use Aspect of the Wild!
• Resto Shamans: Glyph Riptide. Use 2 piece t8/2 piece t9 Resto set for reduced Riptide duration, and LHW relic. You don’t want to be healing and left behind the kiting party. Use Frost Resistance and Earthbind totems. Rank 1 Frost shock any loose Scarabs not on Ice patches.
• Elemental Shamans: Use Earthbind totem to root adds. Make sure that no one is in melee range of Scarabs before rooting. Use Thunderstorm if you need to but only when they are on Full HP. Rank 1 Frost shock any loose Scarabs not on Ice patches.
• Death Knights: Deathgrip orbs into ‘gaps’ of Ice patches (see 2:25 of the 2nd video). Chains of Ice adds that spawn in front of you and is heading to the kiting party.
• Warriors: Intervene and Charge is your best friend. Use it to stay in front. Charge and stun any adds that spawn in front heading to the kiting party.
• Mages: Go Frost! Use Rank 1 Frost nova only when Scarabs are catching up to the kiting party and it’s absolutely necessary. Ice Block when you have high stacks of Acid-Drenched Mandibles.
• Warlocks: Affliction is possibly your best spec here. Run around, DoT orbs and Nerubian Burrowers, though Shadowfury might still come in useful. Up to you here.
• Paladins: Hand of Freedom people who are lagging behind. Hand of Protection removes Acid-Drenched Mandible stacks, use it on raid members with high stacks.

Having faced Anub’Arak for the last 3 weeks, we have come close a few times to killing him. However nothing beats the feeling of watching that last 1% and banishing him with our bare hands!

This is the hardest fight in the 25 man Trial of the Grand Crusader to date. For all of us, this fight has tested our skill, patience and teamwork. Starting from the tanks having to gear up in very encounter-specific manner, tricks-of-the-trade assignments, to healers having to recognize their assigned targets and heal in a split second before the first tick of the Penetrating Cold. The kiting phase… what can we say – this is a fun and challenging fight!

Finally, Clique adds another raid instance to our list of fully cleared raids, to have once again cleared all the latest content in the game. It is time to fatten up with gear and prepare for the coming of the ICC. We do hope that ICC will bring more fun to the table with new bosses and fresh concepts for boss encounters. Will ICC beat the Sunwell Plateu in terms of the challenges offered?

In the meantime, thanks to our fat bear Exitt – we have a video and vent recording of our kill of Anub’Arak. Epic!
