My guild fell apart trying to kill the LK, but those of us who were left rallied and finally beat him! Take that Arthas, that was my greatest WoW moment.

[@moredeccai6069]

Its been 10 years since you posted this comment Man i hope you doing good after all these years

[@moredeccai6069]

Im reading comments and i feel like crying Its so nostalgic all the comments are more than 10-15 years ago I just hope everyone is doing good happy and healthy

[@madenkind]

Thanks, Ciderhelm, for this video! Good explanation as usual! They always helps my guild at killing bosses!

[@CloudcoleVII]

@ToX23in I think it's important for an experienced raider, and ESPECIALLY a raid leader to know ALL aspects of the fight. But I can see your point, too! I'm great-full for both versions!

[@BossAlin3]

the lock at the ending is like " Im gonna get my lick king shard !"

[@MrLocke420]

drain soul instead of shadow bolt on below 25% HP bosses is actually part of the rotation BUT i get the joke :PP

[@Boot0347]

Succesfully did LK last night as Resto Druid with a Resto Shammie and Holy priest, and only for a few sec went below 50% mana ^^ Went better then I thought :D BTW the cinematic afterwards is sooo nice ;-) Thanks for posting the vid, VERY helpfull !!

[@ProzFroz]

Thanks ALOT! part 2 was much better than the first one.

[@onthewestside]

omfg, that fight is INSANE, flat out amazing anyone can do this so far.

[@kxmode]

Our guild killed Sindragosa tonight in 10m ICC. We're doing LK soon. I can't wait. This fight looks like challenging fun! Ty for the strat. :)

[@Beeevaaa]

The upward inflection at the end of this guys voice... oh my

[@MrShammm]

Warmane-Lordaeron

[@04138]

I love the last part with the blue ^^

[@Burningdemon23]

@Lightpaladinsoldier the priest is mostly for the bubble so the bubble will eat the DoT when its thrown out, and dispells on the tanks. Disc priest resto druid and resto shaman is what our guild always uses, works rather well.

[@mattcattt]

this was smaller so it got uploaded quicker, and as usual quality will be terribad for the first half hour or so, so check back then :]

[@SelSylvana]

Ahh thank you both! :)

[@Champiionz101]

Because hes good at explaining, he gets the job done

[@LyadinDima]

Your UI is awesome :) What addon do you use for your buffs and health bars?

[@Noct343]

Going on the stairs is better instead of the sides... Just something EVERYONE should know, go on the stairs, it will help you a lot, you don't got to worry about the sides falling off.

[@thecrum69]

@TheCigs123 but he is explaining what EVERY person dps, healer, and tank has to do not just one. so it makes it a little easier to understand

[@Zerowes]

@shaian3320 first they are horde, so its Blood Lust, and no, it doesnt look like they got the sated debuff, so its a safe guess to say they didnt.

[@Trydene1]

cant wait to fight him!

[@Rondrent]

If you listen to the vuvuzela at the very end of the video. it makes it twice as cool as a kill

[@Chumba2ba]

Name of the song(s) in the video? PS: Gratz on the kill and both videos were very helpful on our attempts to kill the Lich King :-) GL on hardmodes

[@Mortiphasm]

@Budgetgravy Even the Lich King on normal is quite a difficult fight, as there are several means by which people can be killed almost instantly, and most deaths lead to raid wipes. Having done this with groups of various quality, I've noticed that if one person doesn't know what they're doing (especially with regards to passing or cleansing Necrotic Plague), you most likely won't get past the first Remorseless Winter.

[@gokuthebeginner]

OMG LICH KING IS OUT.!!!! i havent been on for a month so i couldnt know!! but omg!

[@hikaratu]

@sicsyde07 coordination is a skill, just not a personal skill. It's a teamwork skill.

[@nick199804]

gratz on the achv and icc gear if u got any!!!!!

[@Abirage]

@0Monzer the name plate addon is called tidyplates

[@Joetdfb99]

tirion can hold his breath for a long time props for that

[@thehipponator]

yeah, he went down real quick. Though,i think he said something like, 'the 2nd phase is solo-tankable'

[@Someone313]

Hey, whats the addon you use to show the health bars above mobs, which would usually be turned off using the V key> I logged onto youtube for the first time in a year to ask this so it would be nice you answered :) thanks in advance

[@SnowOnABrightDay]

@ajman10 Tirion: "Sorry Champions, maybe next time!"

[@AllyOJustice]

i have a question about defile If you had shield effects that prevented damage on you when defile was cast and you didnt actually take any damage from the effect then would it remain the same size?

[@mungbutter]

No matter how you shake it, Lich King is just a Piñata of loots in the end.

[@JapanForSale]

Hahahaha, I wonder if anyone would be tempted to click No on the rez. And good job for the Lock trying to Drain the LK's soul. XD

[@Freak0fnatur3]

@russykh Anub and Yogg may be harder with the gear available, but fights such as Illidan and C'thun were more demanding. Like how you needed a nature resist tank for the pull, or the warlock shadow resist tank on illidan, or the two fire resist tanks etc., had more phases than Anub. However, I do give credit to Yogg, it is one of hte more difficult fights

[@Darkcurse101]

@Panodemic One of the best comments i've ever read!

[@Lightpaladinsoldier]

Quick question, Could you upload a video without the use of a Discipline priest please and could you say what classes are in your raid, because we had some trouble without the use of a Discipline Priest

[@r34p3r1992]

@MrKoukao No, it's when the titans come back to azeroth finding out, that the old gods cannot be killed.

[@twitch5000]

first time in vid or game i've EVER seen a lock use their infernal. is there a timer on the final burn or is it, as said, a free kill?

[@nazomiato]

@lazzermusen by stay alive phase , he means its not a burn phase where you have to pump out some crazy dps or anything like that , meaning if your not stupid it will get done

[@goformickey]

@mewtar94 It takes 30secs with an addon like ksk, which will be able to record who gets what so you can upload to a guild site later and people can roll MS>OS with it, it would take longer working out if no one needs it for MS and if it's safe to roll need than use ksk ml. Even if you use the bliz interface for ML it doesn't take that long like less than 1min usually. No one is that time pressed, i call shenanigans on you.

[@ToX23in]

@TheCigs123 The tankspot videos tend to tell you every single detail, which can make it hard to learn. Really what you need to do is watch a video of the fight from your class' point of view. When I first watched this I was so confused I almost ripped my head off, but after watching some actual runs of it without the useless details, you realize it's actually quite simple.

[@Hoktail]

@4Phenix It's 15 mins. It shouldn't be a problem for you with the 30 % buff.

[@dragonslayer98767]

@dfio111 Tacts? I think you mean "facts" Did you kill LK in February? Or did you even get past the first wing before the 30% buff? This fight is fairly clean considering the time it was done and how hard this fight is.

[@theskedzatz]

@ToX23in they don't give useless details. What they are doing is giving as much information possible for everyone in the raid, otherwise you would need three videos, one for dps, one for tanks and one for healers. As nice as that may sound it's alot more work than making one video, while watching these vidoe's you need to focus on the information provided for you specific. It's really not that complicated. :D -Cheers!

[@UprisingFX_]

What addon are you using for the health frames? I want an addon that shows HP in numbers and in %.

[@pessimistpojken]

Sargeras is locked up inside a tomb within the maelstrom, and this was done by Aegwynn the last guardian of tirisfal, as she gaver her life for the sealing of Sageras.

[@SoteriosZoilis]

@poisonrain87 Cause the hit cap means something for ferals..., I'll give you a hint that was sarcasm

[@comedylover100]

hey on the last phase does fordring destroy shadowmourne and the souls attack arthas or does eh jsut knock it out of his hands releasing them

[@peterkirsten]

@JacobForThePhail thats all i need? how do i make my spell bar be like that or messages come up (on the left side) like those are awesome addons eve if i dont need them id liek to know em :) they're awesome!!

[@SomeMacedonianDude]

2 questions: 1. can u decline the ress? 2. and can u just leave arthas hanging there after Terenas resses u ( if u have accepted the ress ) :D?

[@ToX23in]

4:04 The happiest wipe ever.

[@ToX23in]

@zheyy Yeah, haha. Reminds me of how my my guild always jokes about MC'ing LK and having a Val'kyr drag him off the edge.

[@rockenlee64]

he's dead?.....wow....congrats man ....thats all i got to say.....great video

[@Joker5133]

this is gunna be fun on hardmode i want to see a healers perspective of this fight(Aliena)

[@tpl2000]

@KozakuraOfDarnassus Here is my argument on the whole thing: Gearscore makes it easier to judge whether or not people KNOW THE ENCOUNTERS. People with a high gearscore are likely to know the encounters they have received loot from. Does this mean someone can't be carried? Hell no, but it's much more rare than you'd think. This saves a great deal of time and effort, and anyone that performs poorly can just be kicked and replaced. What is your response to this?

[@ugotgankked]

Damn phase 2 is so hard, tanskpot makes it look easy

[@Mortiphasm]

@CreepyMcCreep It sounds fairly odd, but that's the main term I've heard for World of Warcraft's pre-fight cutscenes, possibly because they're of more interest to roleplayers than those who only care about raiding.

[@MegaMango8]

ty

[@SelSylvana]

Ok so this mind sound like a silly question, but does anyone know what addon he uses? That shows u how much crit the intellect on the dagger gives u etc? Thanks!

[@D3hydratedWater]

@Colbys1337vids I didn't really have many problems healing as a resto shaman. Having a disc priest helps ALOT.

[@Wiper1337]

@timmiej12 yes you lose all the buffs, but you get full mana.

[@solimyr2004]

how do u zoom out so much? i maxed out my cam distance but i still can`t see the whole platform :(

[@Cogrum]

Ah man the X-bow dropped, must have been one happy huntard.

[@Strength83]

Whats the average dps seen on this fight to make it smooth with out beeing to overly out drawn?

[@Pyroinferno99]

Damn dagger dropped lol my rogue wants that. Been doing LK all day today

[@HetherlumProductions]

@sniperz897 It's a guild run with trusted people. They won't ninja anything, so it's better to save time :P

[@ThuenFTW]

You go girl! :D

[@Happylilflower]

we didnt yet down him but believe me, it sux if you down him in 3 weeks orso, having progress slowly rocks!

[@xnickyy0x]

It was Sargeras. The Last Guardian and Cycle of Hatred says so twice.

[@thorleif81]

going for lk for the first time tonight, im tanking so atleast i dont have too mutch to worry about but im sure there will be a long night with many wipes ;)

[@futbolaholic3]

why are there 2 black boxes on his UI is something blacked out? or is that how is addon is?

[@ElefantSham]

@drymartini88 there's a lot of different types of looting. my guild has the raid leader as master looter, and give the piece to the person who needs it most and is an active guildy

[@Reignmaker1]

whats th name of your enemy-health-bar-hovering-over-their -heads addon? plz answer

[@rey024]

i'm downing lk this weekend hehe with guild ofcourse can't wait 8V

[@iTzNightCrawler]

@Colbys1337vids nope its not if you got a disc priest cos he can stop like 70% of the raid dmg are pally healer whos 5.7k gs stacking mana he dosnt go below like 40%

[@a7x555666]

its because it was just uploaded give it a few hours for HD

[@shotgunreaper]

@danjhew If you raid 10mans with friends (which you should anyway) then there's no need for Master loot at all.

[@joeybare]

@xEMn3MxR3M1X I'd say about 5.6-5.8k to be effective. Any lower than that you will have 2-3 raging spirits up, vile spirits will be blowing up the raid and valkyrs will be dropping people off the edge. Healers will be OOM in no time and tanks will die to healers not having the healing power.

[@androkles04]

what addon makes those sexy bars over the enemies?

[@Reignmaker1]

@TheGoreonius No its not but I found out what it was. The addon is called Caelnameplates for any1 who also wonders...

[@xertion90]

what addon do u use to change health bar on nps/boss/trash?

[@quicksliversbutt]

@THEWOWGODOFGEAR it still is... it still exists...

[@MrPicSir]

@itsperfectCOCACOLA and when you do a 10 man the difficulty is lower or something?

[@sk8ross]

@KillZonne1 interestiiiing... How does one get on this private server?

[@Brok3Nintendo]

@warmastah its not fully rendered yet

[@iron77mike77]

PTRs. Lich King was released and they did it in the Test realms

[@PianoSkillBoy]

How do you do it?! Please reply to me although its a year later.

[@seetherfan232]

@TheTrueMeaningOfWoW the guilds name is Tankspot

[@zitroooz]

Grats on the downing

[@Steltunes]

first guide ive found that actually helps this this encounter so its this or nothing tbh

[@KistenHeart]

@futbolaholic3 It's the way they set up the TankSpot videos.

[@globalko]

THIS IS PART 2!

[@Andriesdemotorrijder]

very good video thx alot :D but how come no ms at the end ?:P

[@ntabiblaze]

@elementfire199 lol I know right, it'a always "oh STAND in defile?"

[@Immacapyerass]

Well he sure sounds more exciting :P

[@kraiglooney]

@ugotgankked its crazy how easy they make it look. haha. but with Aliena and her epic weapon, that's not a surprise.

[@Cod5n00b]

why dont you go cat form in the last bit idk if he does damage to the target holding him but he seems kinda trapped

[@yelnil]

you guys know what addon he uses that makes the target's cast bar huge?
