Kel'Thuzad nerf in 3.1

There didn't need to be a raid wide threat wipe when Chains of Kel'Thuzad is cast because we no longer charm the main tank. So I removed the threat wipe.

Feel the Love

The "Be Mine" achievement now only requires one to obtain six of the eight candies. This change will be retroactive for anyone who obtained at least six of the eight candies last time the event ran.

Plagued & Black Proto-Drake no longer obtainable - New mounts in Ulduar

When 3.1 goes live, the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” are being removed. These achievements will still be active, however, players will no longer receive the Plagued Proto-Drake or Black Proto-Drake for completing them. Similar to our decision to remove the Amani War Bear from Zul’Aman, the goal is to ensure that such mounts retain a degree of rarity in the game; and with raids progressing into Ulduar in patch 3.1, we feel obtaining the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” would be somewhat trivialized. For this reason we will be offering new fast mounts (310 speed) as rewards for completing select achievements associated with 10 and 25-player Ulduar.

That's great news about Kel'Thuzad. Man what a pain that fight was last night.

No kidding! IMHO, we had our s* together on the 2nd and 3rd attempts. 1st attempt, first iceblock and both aoe healers getting MC'd right then, that was "random". 2nd and 3rd times, we had that bastard, and what got us was BS. I hate the fights where we just have to hope the BS doesn't happen (Prince Malchezaar comes to mind)

Also, I realize I shouldn't be too sad about the two protodrake mounts from raid achievements going away, because both of those require under-manning all the fights, various speed-runs, and Sarth+3. Don't get me wrong, eventually, we will get these achievements, but it's not worth the pain and frustration doing it in T7 gear. To those hardcore guilds that raid 6-7 days a week, 5 hours at a time, grats on their prize.

But clearly, we have the better BBQ's.

Hardcore guilds have only needed to raid 1-2 nights tops for a few hours to clear all the current content for a while =p There really isn't a whole lot to do.
