Are we planning on extending this week to work on LK? If so, it may be helpful for those that have not done the fight to review a few videos (sorry..at work, so i cannot paste them myself) before we head in tomorrow.

I remember that we stated we would be continuing. We have Putricide, Blood Princes, Blood Queen to clear first, before getting a shot at LK, so we still have some work ahead of us. But we've done them all before, so I expect we'll still have about an hour of attempts to practice LK.

Adding so that people check out our LK strategy guide: CLICK THIS LINK!
If there is good bosskillers strat or youtube vid that shows more than how cluttered a UI can be, post them here too!

Actually that wasn't much of a strat. I remember reading it back when it was posted and it was specifically left vague to not spoil much. It talks about a bosskillers strat. There are three on the LK page (http://www.bosskillers.com/index.php?q= ... /lich-king). One is rated 5 stars, should we read that one?

I've seen LK once (with my friends 10man group) and remember being hugely overwhelmed. There was a huge amount of run in run out.. run this way.. give the tank the social disease.. don't stand in that (It's a new don't stand in that... not fire, not green crap... it's a big black pulsating puddle). We got LK down to just a shade above 40%. I think that's a phase transition.

While I've seen the fight, I'm not sure I'm much better off than someone who hasn't. I just basically followed the raid leader saying, "Run in! run out! Teth, get your ass over here and stop being a noob!"

I am quite excited about seeing LK tonight... it's a nice birthday present... first 25man LK attempt!

Here are 2 pretty decent walk thru's if you prefer non-video format so that you're not looking at a cluttered UI page, although some prefer video (we all tend to absorb things better a little differently)

Though our notes are less a strat guide and more of "lessons learned", they're still important little things to remember. They will save your life (and thus the raid).

These are both excellent, particularly as someone who's never seen the fight below 40%. And hopefully tonight I won't miss any orbs :)

Are we going to be revisiting 25 mans any time soon?

With the 30% buff and the Chilled To The Bone debuff gone, we can probably do most of it with as little as 19-20.
