The Lich King has fallen!

The Lich King has fallen. Happy Fun Guyz prevail!

Happy Fun Guyz took down the Lich King tonight in a terrific battle. We extended our lockout from last week and decided to give him two solid nights. Last night we got him to 23% (only 13% from winning since you need to get him to 10%) and ended up calling it. We came back tonight and wiped three times (once was a freak accident) and then came through at the last second.

Phase one went perfectly. We did our first transition and the horrors died instantly. We took out the raging spirits quickly with focus fire then transitioned into phase two with only one spirit up. We dodged all of our defiles and downed that raging spirit quickly. Graev was almost swept off the edge by a valk who grabbed him but we pulled him back at the last second to save him.

Transition two was a bit shaky. Defile had us spread out big time and we had to adjust our strategy on the fly with a quick call for a relocation of the raid to the side instead of near where we originally tanked and gathered. Everyone adjusted and we managed to quickly down our raging spirits. Transitioning into phase three was sketchy. Right as we got into phase three one of the raging spirits smacked a healer and we struggled to keep up on heals.

The ghosts (as we call them) started to swarm around and our DPS focus fired the first of them out of the sky with enough time to switch to the raging spirit still alive. Quickly switching back to the Lich King we were split a bit by a Defile that ticked up once and grew. A healer ankh brought us back into the game but we had ghosts exploding everywhere. Two DPS went down and a heals. Combat rezzes went out and we were frantically trying to keep up with heals.

Arthas sent one of our two alive healers into Frostmourne and we were desperately popping cooldowns to survive. We had four people down now and it was a struggle for survival. “POPPING COOLDOWNS!” and “Defile on you, move!” went out into vent and everyone played their heart out. 18%… 16%… 13%… 11%.. “Hang in there!!!”

Then we all died.

It was the sweetest death ever as the roleplay began and the Lich King prepared to raise us as his undead slaves. Not today Arthas! We were revived by Tirion who finally decided it was time to bubble out of his ice cube and the Lich King was held firmly in place. “LUST IT UP GRUZ!” The cheers were epic and we brought Arthas down and got to see our achievement spam and cutscene.

Completing the content of this expansion felt so good. I accomplished my goal and I did it with my guildmates. I’m very proud of how well we did. Onward to Cataclysm guys!
