No doubt many of us are closely following progression in heroic Icecrown Citadel. There are a lot of guilds gunning for the position for the best guild in the world.
Ahead of everybody else is Paragon from Lightnings Blade EU, and I hooked up with their very own moonkin Lappé for a little chat.
I play world of Warcraft to chill out and escape the worries of the real world – poverty, war, pollution, and all sorts of other things that doesnt’ affect me directly. At any rate, it is for me and for most other people, a way to relax and have some fun.
Because of that, I have quite high wishes for how I spend my playtime – I mentioned some of them in my “How to be Awesome” post. We have a responsibility to the people we play with, to do our best and make sure that everybody is getting their moneys worth. And it’s everybody else’s responsibility to make sure our game time is spent as best as possible. Escapism was in no way a bad guild, but in the end I did get the feeling that it was time to search other grasslands.
I sent an application to another guild a week before, and while I did get accepted around the weekend, I stayed with my guild until the end of the reset. And so it was that, on monday evening, I found that I had moved while still standing in the same place. The area looked indifferent, but I was in truth on a completely new server! I am now on Defias Brotherhood EU, hoping to start a long and prosperous life with The Hungering Cold – preferably filled with lots of slaughtering of evil monsters.

Oh, and here’s a shout-out to the two people who whispered me within 20 minutes of being on the new server, asking if “I was that Qieth with the blog”. I really appreciate hearing that my silly rants are entertaining and interesting to read!
Arthas is finally available in Icecrown Citadel, and with him comes a nice little loot list. While I was a bit disappointed that he only seem to drop weapons, it does sort of make sense. We are more or less covered on every other item slot already.
I would never dream of posting any sort of spoilers (Dumbledore dies!), the loot list got me thinking about my previous BIS list and how each weapon combination compares to each other, and on normal versus heroic difficulty. As it turns out, my initial sloppy guess that going from normal to heroic was just a straight upgrade, was invalid.
I wanted to make a video compilation of the fights in Icecrown Citadel, with tips and tricks to increase your damage. So I did. I hope you enjoy the video, and that you can take a few tips with you for your next raid. Also, I know my narration is terrible! Click “Read the rest of this entry »” to see a written transcript of what I talk about in the video.
My guild and I downed Professor Putricide the other day, and I actually got around to record the fight. Enjoy the annotations pointing out my screw-ups!
Also, for those who care, I am now the moderator of MMO-Champions druid board. Consider this a heads up for when I start collecting tax… …
