Our first look at the Lich King encounter was the normal version. It was hectic as all hell and we didn’t know how it could get any worse. Well…now we do. The Heroic Lich King encounter is the most grueling and intense encounter to date. The tightest enrage timer with the most demanding situational awareness [...]

Field of Dreamwalkers The Green Dragonflight have always made interesting encounters. As early as Eranikus in Sunken Temple to the four world dragons and now Valithria. The Green Dragonflight always peaks our interest and Valithria does not disappoint. The Valithria fight places the biggest important on healers. She starts at 50% and you must heal [...]
Blood Queen Lan’athel is a very simple encounter that can go horribly wrong with just a single wrong step. I’m sure you are all familiar with the normal version of the encounter, and there are three basic mechanics to worry about in addition to the oh-so-amazing vampire aspects of the fight.
Keleseth, Valanar and Taldaram are three of the Princes of the San’layn, and these guys are much smarter than your average raid boss, because they don’t attack you one at a time. You face them all at once, and in the heroic mode they have a few new tricks up their collective sleeves. When the [...]
Professor Putricide is one of the more memorable characters of the Icecrown Citadel raids. Players took quickly and affectionately to his whimsical taunts and light hearted threats; each based on the lovable if terrifyingly semi-competent Professor Farnsworth from Futurama.

Professor Putricide, the Lich King’s own evil genius and demented master apothecary, has his work cut out for him in Icecrown Citadel’s Plague Wing. Like any good mad scientist, the good professor needs henchmen to protect him while he busies himself in his laboratory of alchemical horrors and fun, and so he does what any [...]
Unlike his normal counterpart, Heroic Deathbringer Saurfang will bring everyone’s attention back to the encounter in full focus once again. This fight can be deceivingly simple; any encounter that require the raid to just stand still, spread out, and push their buttons all the way down for maximized damage has those qualities. The changes made [...]
The Heroic Gunship event is Blizzard’s way of saying congratulations on killing the Lich King. It’s not an actually challenging encounter at all. The only difference is that it will take you an extra jump to complete than whatever it takes you now, and they added a few things that fall just short of making [...]
Believe it or not one of the most difficult encounters in Icecrown Citadel is the Lady Deathwhisper encounter. Hard to believe, huh? As the saying goes: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Let’s start by just throwing the standard hard mode changes out there. Everything has more health and everything does more damage, [...]
