Lich King 25-Man No-Buff Heroic Kill by Paragon
Paragon is really done with Icecrown Citadel this time, they killed the Lich King in 25-Man Heroic mode without the ICC Zone Buff. Congratulations to them.

Recuperate
Endgame rogues will not be balanced around 100% uptime for Recuperate. We do think rogues will use it however. If mana matters a little more, then keeping yourself alive a little more will matter. We're not fans of the (sadly widespread) belief that keeping the group alive is solely the responsibility of the healers and that dps should do everything in their power solely to maximize their dps, even if that makes things harder on the healers.

    Haha! I actually saw that LvL 800 in the SC2 Campaign. It plays on the News in the Cantina if you check it regularly enough.

    ICC is a faceroll. The only hard boss in there is Lich King. And that's because of the gear needed, not because the tactics are so insanely hard.

    Although they could have just dropped the level part and simply call themselves Elite Tauren Chieftain ETC. then they dont have to change their name every time the level cap get increased.


    level 10 (warcraft 3), level 60, Level 70, Level 80.
    StarCraft II is set in the year 2504. The joke is that 500 years from now, the level cap in WoW will be 800.


    As a side note, here's the commercial for their album, from SC2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MFUARc0TDU

    So they change the model for the basic camp fire but they dont have the time to remodel the old race models? How smart from Blizzard's side.

    What A giant load of Bull. I dont know you or your experience in there but, you sir and anyone questioning the difficulty of that accomplishment do not understand the level of precision it would take to get that. Thats DPS and healing on the most finite levels. My hats of to Paragon. Like the poster said Haters will hate.

    Except paragon did it with gear they got from heroic lich king while previously using the buff. Sorry, no props from me.

    That doesn't explain why Paragon dominates, thousands of other guilds got the same gear they have (with the exception of lk hc weps) but they can't pull off lk hc with even 30% buff, and the top ~100 guilds couldn't do it with 5% when Paragon did it.

    Don't run around saying that LK requires top gear, that clearly ain't the case since Paragon was the only guild to kill him with 5%, with mostly 264 gear. And now the first to kill him with 0%.. Just luck?

    I can't comment about how difficult LK is though, since I haven't done a single 25hc boss in icc, I quit raiding the week "blood" wing came.

    </rant>

    Gratz Paragon, well deserved. I reckon many guilds doesn't even bother trying without buff, this truly shows your dedication!

    They did it 24 man. thats like 10k-18k less dps, they probably have 4 Shadowmournes on their top melee 2her dpsers (which most good guilds should have by now anyways, my guild has 5 right now). Most of their healers might still use Val. Either way, those 284 weapons even with ilvl 284 trinkets/rings from Halion, aint adding up to a 10k dps loss, then without buff..

    Paragon did it for an accomplishment, but what sucks is that no matter what they do, people won't be pleased or will have something bad to say.

    I think they might have to do it in 264's no heroic gear no shadowmournes for people to be happy.

    Translated as 'QQQQ somebody managed to beat an encounter almost 6 months after it was released QQQQ Blizz sucks QQQQQ *headshot*'

    I love the people slamming Paragon and saying it isn't legit because of their gear. Name me one guild - one single guild, absolutely god damn any guild - that hasn't killed LK25HC yet, and is therefor now farming 284 weapons, and is even remotely capable of killing him without the buff. I do not believe there are any guilds like that in this game. Any guild capable of potentially killing him without the buff already killed him with the buff a long, long time ago and is now rolling in 284 weapons. They may have even DE'd a couple 284 weapons.

    They beat everyone else to the kill with no buff.

    That's all that mattered.

    And yeah, it would be awesome if they did it with only 264 gear and the weapons from LK normal :P
    Watch out what you wish for They might actually try
