Icecrown Citadel Zone Buff, Blue posts

Who is the girl in the pink dress in the DL comic? Also, anyone notice they spelled despair wrong? Or was that done intentionally?

yay finally expertise for hunters O_o

The girl in the pink dress is most likely Aeris Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII.

Yes, it is Aeris. Sorry about the spoiler. If you want to get to joke watch this video:

I really fucking hope this is a joke.

Gz on HM kills casualls, hope this is what u want.

I have to admit to being a bit surprised that they're applying the buff before the first LK HM downing. I'm not screamingly upset about it or anything, just a bit surprised.

Honestly, the competitive top guilds won't even use this, and if you dont want to you don't have to. For those of us that dont live our lives on this game and who quite frankly couldn't care less about server rankings its a nice bonus.

Can anyone confirm the buff is for heroic mode also? I recall them saying the buff was going to applied for those in normal mode only. Heroic mode = hard mode.

You will be able to see what guilds use it with world of logs, well if they use it. Lets see if the hard core guilds stay hard core.

Casuals still won't defeat the Lich King on 25 man with this buff. You can't just waltz in and defeat the 3 main bad bosses, putricide, lana'thel and sindragosa with 30% extra buff. They will succeed after a while in normal, but heroic? No way.

Casuals got what they wanted, hardcores don't care at all!

I thought that was the point, LK HM is impossible to kill without the buffs. The race will still be to see who downs him first.

[Tavek]

Sure are a lot of tears over an OPTIONAL buff.

If your group is so good, turn it off.

My screenshot was taken on heroic mode, look at The Lich King's health.

[Sanguissa]

Interesting, but kinda early. Sure, its been nearly three months of icecrown, but more than half of that was unompleted dungeon.

[Tang]

An encounter that has yet to be killed by the top guilds on heroic will not be killed by casual groups with a +30% buff.
And I doubt the hardcore will turn this off either. If they have not gotten down Arthas yet, why not use this buff as an assist.

Yes, there will be two hard mode Arthas world firsts. First guild to kill him, period, and first guild to do it without the buff (if that's even possible). It's not like the hardcore guilds are right on the doorstep of beating Arthas HM and this is going to push them over the edge.

[Pheonixis]

Hellcream.

Just had to.

[Zebraz]

A clever way to nerf an instance, much better than nerfing bosses imo and it's optional so there is very little room for QQ. Well played Blizzard.
PS. I kinda hope that they remove it from hardmode encounters though, i mean they're supposed to be hard...right?

Cataclysm is going to suck with all those changes...

Then quit now while you're ahead.

Btw maybe a dumb question but with no spell ranks wont we have to train as we level up anymore? (other than new spells of course)

[Faerillis]

scrue those damn raidwide buffs, I really hate them.. Finally I don't see an end boss kill for like 2 weeks, and now they're going to nerf it.. really: scrue that

Ever heard of spelling screw correctly? Its not hard, there is no special spelling.

And you know what I appreciate this. I am a good raider, I look up fights, I try to get others to do the same, I don't stand in flames and I can switch to the bone spikes. But there is one thing I cannot do... put up with a militant raiding guild. I am more interested in talking with people than raiding but I would definitely like to be raiding at my level. Now my current guild is starting to make progress, last night for the first time they downed the Gunship ((admittedly my old guild downed Deathbringer in the first week but that guild fell apart)) which is a nice achievement for them, but we need to get further so this buff is fantastic for me. And before you go well you're just loot-hungry, no if I was I would pug more often but I like raiding with my guild and if this makes it easier and allows them to learn the fights so we can try it later on a harder difficulty then damn straight I want my buff.

[Dragonshardz]

Dude, spoiler tags!

If that character is from a JRPG... wait, erase that. I don't want to know.

[Reeve]

I did read it properly, and it reads that not only will haste continue to affect melee white hits, bit it will also affect their resource generation, which means the time between yellow attacks will now be decreased aswell.

So what you're saying is that haste will affect 100% of melee class's damage just like it will affect 100% of ranged class's damage. Hmm, sounds so unfair.
