Fall of the Lich King

PATCH 3.3 WOOT!

Okay, that part is over. The rest of this entry will be more thought out and detailed.

Three new 5 man instances

We accidentally did these on heroic on the first night. I put together a group of five people, and after a quick look to see who they actually were, we were off.

Our guild is fairly large, I don't know everyone off the top of my head.

We had a Paladin Tank, a Shaman Healer, and a Paladin, a Hunter and Myself for DPS.

EXPECT SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT


We entered the Forge of Souls, and turned in the quest there, and went on our way.

Let me tell you, having five people, all not knowing what was going on, not reading up on the strategies beforehand, was the most fun I've had in WoW in a long time.

The first boss was fairly easy, oh hey, a whirlwind that hurts us, well, get out of it silly!

Then the second boss. Oh the second boss of the Forge of Souls.

He was a little tougher. Especially since we didn't understand the whole soul link. Yeah, we finished that fight with two of the three DPS dead.

Oh, hey, NOW Jaina Proudmore arrives with the rest of the army. Thanks for the perfect timing.

Anywho, on to the next place. Through the portal and now we're in the Pit of Saron.

Well, look at that dragon, I wonder if he'll be tough to kill. Let's attack that sorcerer thing over there.

Oh, here's Jaina again, after we attack, again. Well, that army lasted long, and Tyrannus left to go somewhere else. Time to, oh hey, a quest! Free fifteen people, alrighty.

Well, we freed the people then made our way to Garfrost. Somehow we instinctively knew to hide behind the boulders, so he went down fast.

Then Ick and Krick. Wee! No, grab that one! THAT ONE!

Fun fight those two, just stay away and avoid the land mines and you're fine.

Oooooh, major pulls now, they take a while, but they go down.

Hey look it's Hodir cave. Sweet, ouch, that ice hit me, and I hit a chain reaction like a pinball going all the way to the bottom.

Oh, now the fight with the dragon. Oh, never mind, the dragon flew away, just this guy. We'll kill him.

Oh, he killed everyone. Well, off to find the place the Gnome talked about.

What's with the Gnome hate anyway? First Wilfred Fizzlebang, now this?

Well, we go in and we start the 10 waves of baddies, we end up wiping after the first boss. It takes a while to get back in. 10 minutes later we try again. We get in. We take down the next 5 waves, and move on.

Oh hey look, a big Skeleton.

EVIL OQ, KILL HIM.

I have a thing for killing the evil version of myself. I know we should probably kill the healer first, but it's personal.

Oooh, hey. The Lich King.

Run away! He gonna kill you!

First wave, a little bit of AOE makes me your man.

Second wall, more single taget, the big guys are tough.

Third wall, killing killing, holy cow he's getting close.

Fourth wall, it's waaay up there. We should be fine. Here come the ghouls. Man, they can jump far.

We kill them, then the Abominations, then the Witch Doctors. Fourth wall gone.

We run onto the ledge, and I was lucky enough to have my camera pointed off the edge of the cliff. Seeing the Skybreaker rise up out of nowhere was very cool.

Oh hey, they locked the Lich King in the tunnel. Well, that was fun.





I Love new content. I really do. Having content that is this cool to play through actually let's me Forgive Blizzard for slightly nerfing Balance Druids. That's fine, as long as you keep putting out stuff that's fun to play through.
