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.

Screenshots of the Day Update
Blizzard keeps updating its screenshots of the day gallery and some of the recent screenshots are fairly interesting. (The last 4 uploads feature the final bosses of the Halls of Origination)

Also, I'm not sure where to post the following screenshot so I'll just add it here. If you needed just one reason to buy Cataclysm: Basic Campfires look awesome now.

Blue Posts
Dear Starcraft 2, please give us our Blue Posters back. We love them. A lot. Regards, Boubouille.

Rogue (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
Eviscerate
We are changing Improved Eviscerate to also affect Envenom, to give Assassination another attractive first tier talent for the endgame player. (Source)

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.

L80ETC is now L800ETC
According to a news post on SC2Mapster.com, Starcraft 2 game files revealed that L80ETC is now known as L800ETC!

[Umbra]

Impressive on Paragon's part.

[Waniou]

Very nice, been waiting for that kill :O Grats to them!

[Sulf]

Thing is that with the full 277 gear across the board, it is essentially doing it with the 5% they had back when they got the world first, sort of pointless imo.

[Postkrieg]

Yeah, was wondering when this would come :]
gz!

[Spasme]

Wow ! Paragon did it without the buff. Gratz

[phai]

Level 800? Wut. Why? :/

[Bloodly]

I knew Paragon would get that

[Samelar]

bosses of Halls of Origination looks awesome.
Basic Campfire ftw.
But im little confused about LVL800 ETC

[Gallador]

Yeap. They had it coming though, I wonder how long they practiced for it?

[Akinaria]

Grats paragon

[Lifesbane]

Our warchief finally got a graphic update? Suck it alliance.

[Collected]

Paragon the new Nihilum/Ensidia then? Or will Ensidia make a come back?

[Cernunnos]

level 800 sounds slightly better than The artists formerly known as Level 80 elite tauren chieftain.

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.

[Howdyho]

I bet they did it just they don't have to see people making threads "HAS SUM1 KILL LITSH KING WITH NO ZONE BUFF".

[angrybubblz]

Yay recruitment! Stick yourself in a callcenter sweathouse away from frienhds and family now!

[Waniou]

Thing is that with the full 277 gear across the board, it is essentially doing it with the 5% they had back when they got the world first, sort of pointless imo.

Well, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that nobody else has done it with less than 10%.

[Eixel]

L800ETC?!

nerf inc

TBH, 277 gear is fine. you can get 277 gear without killing LK HC so, i dont see that as a problem. They just shouldnt use the 284 weapons.

And yeah, it would be awesome if they did it with only 264 gear and the weapons from LK normal :P

[Weazle83]

Just insane... and my guild can't even kill him with 30% more health, healing and dps... Geez we suck :-(
