...and another one bites the dust

The king is dead, long live the king!

The guild killed LK in 25 man this week. I'm very happy to get the achievement, and head into hard modes, but we went in with the expectation that we could, and would, get the LK kill...and we did it after only 6 pulls in total..with some people never having had seen it.

So, what does it take to kill LK in 25 man? Well, it's pretty simple actually. stack up, stack up, stack up, run for defile, switch targets quick...rinse and repeat, don't run into orbs. As long as people are raid aware, it becomes a fairly easy fight with this sort of mechanic. I love the rng of the valks picking up random people...despite that we would've killed him on our 3rd attempt if it wasn't a pal healer while the other pal heal dc'd. It keeps the fight from being 100% the same every time.

The thing I really like about the LK fight is that it is NOT a "gear it and win it" fight. Yes, you will need a minimum level of output or survivability, but anybody with some 10 man gear, a piece or 2 of 25 gear, and even some 25 toc gear should have plenty of that at this point, thanks to the 15% buff. What is nice is that this is a fight about awareness and skill of execution. There aren't too many of those left in the game these days.

Here's looking forward to HMs with the guild...some of which are jokes (gunship), and some of which have a gear and skill attribute to them. I have some experience in them from before I joined, but this should be a great time now for us to shine and push our way up the guild ladder quickly. :)

Not bad, considering it became a full 25 man guild just last week, so 1 week of progression is a full clear of available content to us.
