Lich King World First Kill by Ensidia

[Boubouille]

Update - Ensidia just posted a statement on their site.

Yes it seems this bug does relate to our kill. We had no idea that our Rogues using Saronite Bombs in their rotation (as they always do) was causing it and thusly it occured every try we did. Short version, we're not going to stop trying the boss when all we are doing is playing our normal game. It would be nice if these kinds of things, much the same as Holy Wrath on Anub, were tested before release.

It does make the fight easier, but we are 100% sure it would have died either way. It only affects one of the easier phases.

As a side note this only occured in 25 man.

Update - It seems that a bug just got hotfixed on live servers, at this point I'm not sure yet if it is related to Ensidia's kill or not.

We just made a hotfix that disables the siege damage dealt by Saronite Bombs and the Global Thermal Sapper Charge. The siege damage of the bombs was causing the Frozen Throne platform to rebuild, which greatly decreases the difficulty of the encounter.

We'll reenable the siege damage in a later update when the issue with the Frozen Throne is fixed.

Lich King World First Kill by Ensidia
A couple of minutes ago, Ensidia became the first guild to defeat the Lich King in 25-Man mode. They are the first guild to unlock the hard modes in Icecrown Citadel-25 and the real challenge will start next week for them and probably a few other guilds. Congratulations to them!

Reminder - The Lich King Loot Table
It took a little longer than intended to get all the screenshots done but here it is, the final loot table for the Lich King encounter! One interesting change with this patch, Heroic items have yellow text and normal items don't.

<script type="text/javascript">
	$(function(){
		// Tabs
		$('#tabs4').tabs();
		
		//hover states on the static widgets
		$('#dialog_link, ul#icons li').hover(
			function() { $(this).addClass('ui-state-hover'); }, 
			function() { $(this).removeClass('ui-state-hover'); }
		);
		
	});
</script>

<style>
em { font-style: normal; font-size:14px }
.ui-tabs li {list-style-type: none !important;}
.ach {font-weight: bold;}
.sortable {margin: auto;}

[.Nensec]

Gz Ensidia!

[Kaneiac]

Congratulations, guys!

[Hatebringer]

Congratulations!

[Balo]

why are they waiting till next week to start hardmodes?!? why not get a head start and start clearing now??

[Atrath]

grats

[DN]

Grats Ensidia! Well deserved!...

[D3CYPH3R]

why are they waiting till next week to start hardmodes?!? why not get a head start and start clearing now??

Because they are the same reset, you chose on each boss if it's normal or heroic, it's not a separate raid id like previous raids.

[DN]

why are they waiting till next week to start hardmodes?!? why not get a head start and start clearing now??

It counts as a single instance, there aren't two separate instances for each difficulty.

[phoenixia]

Gratz Ensidia !

[syvas]

Well deserved, congrats Ensidia

[Mordoran]

Well done. Gratz

[Nezoia]

Though, weren't the 25M title supposed to be different from the 10M one? Or is there another one for the heroic version? I hope it the latter one!

Seems it's only the heroic titles that differs

(Bane of Fallen Knight, and Light of Dawn)

[Dezz24]

very nice--- Congrats to them

[Fysi]

Umm gz (again), and my comment disappeared about how a weapon didn't drop :'(

[Legendary_Zer0]

Ill start with saying Gratz, but tbh who didnt expect Ensidia to get this done i meanthere in 258+ gear ICC normal for them is a walk in the park. When i see them smashing hard modes im gunna be really impressed

[Shiravan]

Grats guys!

[Faladrath]

Congratulations on world 1st

But whats this, it's on page 2 and no troll has wiggled it's head in? What is this place becoming!

[Adys]

[Fysi]

Sorry, misclick was me, cleaning up garbage eu vs us posts.

Lol don't worry I was just like

And glad the EU > US/US >EU thing is been cleaned up.

Edit: Oh and the item drop thing for those interested was me comment on how Bloodsurge, Kel'Thuzad's Blade of Agony is just The Turning Tide mkIII.
