Update 11-June-2010:

Our 2nd 10-man group has also successfully defeated the Lich King on heroic difficulty! This means we now officially have 20 players with the “Bane of the Fallen King” title and are capable of defeating Heroic Lich King 25. Great work by both teams & let’s not forget those who had to be on standby ^_^.

Bane of the Fallen King
Server 3rd, Oceanic 11th.

And here’s the 2-part video of the guild’s first Bane of the Fallen King kill.

We’re currently recruiting many classes for a Heroic Lich King (25-man) kill, if you think you have what it takes – visit our Recruitment page for more information!

Checked World of Logs and Team GCG now officially holds the speed kill record for Rotface (10-man) as of 1st Feb 2010 with a time of 1:44! Though this record doesn’t really mean a lot, it still gives me a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling to know we’re the fastest in the world at it…

Our ‘strategy’ was to zerg down Rotface before his slimes would overwhelm us or explode denying us the achievement Dancing with Oozes. We ran with 1 tank, 9 dps and 1 healer (resto druid). We used a hunter to kite the Big Ooze.

Here’s the logs if you are interested:

Our melee did impressive damage considering the limited buffs we have in the 10-man version, and a couple of them were ranked top 10 in terms of damage done for their class and spec. Well done and keep up the good work! We have a lot to do this coming week!

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!

As promised, Clique delivered with a Tribute to Insanity a month after we got Mad Skill. But the road wasn’t as smooth as we initially thought. Week after week, there’s always something different to cause us to wipe. We must have seen almost every conceiveable screw-up that could happen (too embarrassing to mention here), but nevertheless we perservered and was rewarded at last…

This week the stars finally aligned and we had some good fortune along the way, helping us to complete ToGC without wiping once. Great timing as we cleared all Coliseum content just before the new gate (the Plagueworks) opens. An excellent way to start off the new year, and may this good luck will follow us through ICC!

Many thanks to those who contributed but had to sit out for Anub’arak, and to to those who took part in the kill — a job well done and keep up the great work!

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.

Congrats to our 10 new Herald of the Titans for defeating Algalon while using Ulduar 10-player gear.

Exitt, Cherak, Bushhealer, Mesias, Trilliance, Wheretodo, Maxar, Stroke, Tulang, Paxman

Special mention to Bushhealer for his effort in organising this run and providing the raid with enchants and consumables (Thanks for the Intellect scrolls)!

Other notables include Mesias who wasn’t able to find a suitable weapon and ended purchasing a Bind on Account weapon for the encounter, and Wheretodo who was frantically making Saronite bullets after the pull after realising he was using the new Iceblade arrows from ICC! We wiped a couple of times, but the kill attempt was as clean as it could go.  We beat the enrage timer with 20 seconds to spare.

Here are some photos to show:

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.
Glory to the newborn king.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just as in TBC, the once exclusive flying mounts that were available only to those who excelled in highest echelons of arena are now available to the masses!

The Frostbrood are elite frost wyrms that were raised from the bones of blue dragons at Sindragosa’s Fall. These frost wyrms are now one of the strongest weapons the Scourge have. They consist of Frostbrood Whelps, Drakes (Vanquishers), and the mighty wyrms themselves. Sindragosa is the leader of the Frostbrood and was the first Frostbrood raised, she was raised by the Lich King himself.

The Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher and Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher are now confirmed rewards from Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10-player) and Glory of the Icecrown Raider (25-player) respectively. This alone should give us enough motivation to strive for these achievements! I’m getting pretty excited…

Below are some screens of these beauties courtesy of MMO-Champion.
