TankSpot's Guide to Icecrown Lich King (25-man Part 2)

[shadowxxx81]

wow 25 ppl and not dead O.O..

[nardkoekje]

god i hate druid tanks, even my pet (worm(exotic pet)) can tank beter then most druid tanks, it's like they don't even want to keep aggro..

[tharqal]

by the way you cannot release at the 10% wipe, you can click the button but nothing happens if you do

[BlaagTheMentor]

This guy sounds a lot like Scott Baio.

[rossroad100]

nice dps

[zenfrodo]

ok. "don't release when he kills everyone". The vid could REALLY use narration at that point to tell us why and what's happening.

[covermewithaleaf33]

what happens if you rez when he masses kills?

[ilikepie81]

@covermewithaleaf33 you wont get the achievement.

[Cardan011]

lol do not use ankh at this point our poor shammy healer lagged out did use it and got ported out on gy resed and dint get Kingslayer...so just wait for Terenas to rez you

[Cardan011]

this videos are good to give you idea what the fight is all about, but you have to really learn the mechanics and practice movement with your guild , pretty much best way to learn is by doing it.

[zepanijer]

if a person dies b4 10% does he get resurected 2 ? : )

[skjel123]

@zepanijer Yes he does

[julenissegangsta]

@zepanijer japp

[buffymcbuff]

@zepanijer yep they do

[TranceMediaCSS]

I think so :D

[blairdom]

When the Lich King kills he raid...does that count as an official death? Will we have to pay for repairs?

[julenissegangsta]

@blairdom didnt see a 10% durability loss when he killed the raid

[blairdom]

@julenissegangsta I was just kidding :-)) Sorry for not being too obvious about it, I guess

[negamus741]

also what addon do u use for the square map

[devil71288]

@negamus741 it's an addon called sexymap....then u just need to change it's skin

[TranceMediaCSS]

Sexymap I believee

[negamus741]

what are the bars at the top center of the screen

[ricopower14]

@Rand200 u made me smile :D american pie ftw ;W

[leemessi1990]

@ricopower14 i believe he is talking about how i met your mother.. not american pie: band camp

[RedCaboose7]

Wipe!

[MrNarcko]

great video, i do have a question though...last night a guild i was running with did lich king..we didnt down him but at least we tried...when defile was up it kept growing why is that? i saw your first part but it wasnt growing it kept the same size, our covered like half the field...

[ThisisNewyork]

@MrNarcko Everyone needs to move out of defile as soon as it spawns, it gets bigger with each second someone is standing in it.

[MrNarcko]

@ThisisNewyork thx man that was bugging me lol

[poutserGR]

which addons do u use??????

[GOUBO1994]

i literally cannot focus on this video ... my mind is wasndering away every 10 seconds lol, need to keep rewinding

[lancehendryx]

pew pew not QQ its a good guide

[lancehendryx]

very good bravo

[EddyGrecia]

@Rand200 Yeah he talks like that..... ROFLMFAO!!!!!

[Mrwaffles33]

Hey this helped me heaps (: Tyy

[CosmicSymphony]

At the end when LK is in the air, I assume every body just goes in and dps's him down? would of been nice if you'd of explain wot to do at that point, but oh well =) not the greatest of tankspot videos, but every body has an off day! ^_^

[wow85]

@CosmicSymphony He said in the beginning of pt.1 that he ain't explaining the abilities but is explaining on how the fight itself is done. Also, for an explanation of the abilites he said to look at the normal 10man video of pt.1 & pt.2

[shiftersofwar]

sick part is... this is before the buff came out for ICC, and when you still had attempts on LK normal modes... 20/20 attempts, no buff... they got it on farm... sick

[suckmytaint401]

whats you gear score?

[jetwar500]

What if u had a soul stone woot rez kill done

[Tiffis1337]

@jetwar500 You die.

[Rebelassasin23]

@Rand200 ...and then a bear came

[brettGORE]

this vid doesn't really go into detail about what his abilities do or how the mechanics work, as opposed to how every other vid they do covers all abilities and what they directly do. Did not like.

[TheFrostJoker]

@brettGORE it said in part 1 that for abilities watch the 10 man

[hove18]

This might be difficult for a night elf boomkin, im a night elf boomkin.... everythings difficult for me :D

[guerillin]

geez, dude, did a mouse eat your tongue for the last 3 minutes? any more helpful tips fot the rest of the encounter? or should we assume that LK will automatically die by himself? this has to be the worst Tankspot vid ever.

[TheFrostJoker]

@guerillin don't really need to know much once the whole raid dies lich king stops moving and u just kill him, or if u don't accept the rez u can watch terenas kill him which takes bout an hour

[freyia969]

What happens if you release?

[Bronx1875]

@freyia969 The lich king come's into your home then rapes you with frostmourn Doggy style

[jbenlez555]

@freyia969 You do not get the achievement and you are not eligible for loot.

[stefanfogleman]

STTOOOOOPPPP WITH THE INFLECTIONS!!!! GOOD GAWD

[thedominionx]

lmfao garbage ui

[ccwoop19]

@thedominionx well some as I find this kinda ui quite nice.

[HellaBigGuy]

@thedominionx lol people like you need a life?

[fuzzybunny1337]

Hey could you give a list of the addons you use? I'm liking the look of your UI much more than the default, thank you ^_^

[RoscoMalosco]

"If due to the soulreaper rotation? You are not the last tank in the previous phase? Make sure to open up with a taunt."

I fucking HATE people who speak like that. Why are you raising your voice like it's a question, when it isn't a question? You aren't asking anyone anything. Annoys the shit out of me.

[TheDolefish]

@RoscoMalosco lol, I think you need some time away from WoW xD

[RoscoMalosco]

@TheDolefish I haven't played WoW for over 3 years. What exactly is your point?

[TheDolefish]

@RoscoMalosco Well to be honest mate im not being funny or anything, but he has not done or said anything to you to piss you off. You must take to anger way to easy! o.0

[RoscoMalosco]

@TheDolefish I know you're not trying to be funny, you're trying to be a smartarse - and failing at it. You have said nothing of comedic value at all, so thanks for clearing that up, dickweed. He has annoyed me by talking, by the way he speaks. That is what he did. Got a problem? I don't care. I know I get angry too easily, got anything else to say?

And fuck off with your stupid o.0 xD internet faces. Do you know how much of a loser you are?

[TheDolefish]

@RoscoMalosco Well as I said "Im not trying to be funny", so your wrong. And also the fact you still resorted to an insecure tantrum only proved the point I was making! And I will say again, my purpose is not to piss you off or be a "smart arse". I just think that you are being an asshole for clearly no reason, be greatful that Ciderhelm has made such a usefull video for us all to learn. : / <--- internet face

[RoscoMalosco]

@TheDolefish Your intelligence does not match mine. This exchange is over.

[ryudo113]

@RoscoMalosco you piss me off.. Got a problem???

[jrspeed520]

gratz dudes.



[zerix123]

i've never done this fight, but in phase 2 do u have a time limit before the lich king is free from that vortex near the end?

[NewfDraggie]

@zerix123 No at that point frostmourn is shattered and that vortex is all the souls attacking the lich king. He doesn't need to be tanked, or technically dps'd at all because eventually the npc's will kill him. There's no time limit, but if everybody does damage it'll be faster. If you make it to the raid getting killed you win the fight.

[Panncakerock]

did Fordring forget his trinket, or was his bubble on c/d...

[Klikko2000]

@Panncakerock didn't you watch the last part where LK kills everyone? He pops his trinket. Apparently, it was on a 13min CD

[Panncakerock]

@Klikko2000 Oooooh i see, i thought he just cast some voodoo magic and opened up a can of pown.

[mrpickles619]

will the lich king still kill you at 10% if you have divine intervention on?

[andrechi]

fucking vuvuzela button! :(

[deathpuppet16]

Lich King is a man.

[VictorCordes]

Fun but easy fight. Heroic version is a whole other story

[jolomolo7]

How much HP does the lich king have in total?

[handelsme]

Phase 2 sucks... between the valks and the despair if you can get passed this phase its downhill

[Zuhukanah]

That has got to be one of the coolest boss battles I have ever seen

[handelsme]

so this fights almost 20min? holy shit

[DJnin10doh]

@handelsme 15 min rage timmer

[LUVdaFAMGUY]

what does he drop?

[iluvnon]

@LUVdaFAMGUY Download atlas loot, or look it up on google

[TheHockeypeep]

He does have a rather prominent upward inflexion, nonetheless, great video.

[zero916619]

wat happens if u dnt kill him in time?

[ShAdOw116789]

10 man is so muche easier lol.

[dirtyfood]

Lol your voice..music to my ears.

[hilarychloebelf]

Great video but I would like to hear it in a way i can understand , My guildies and I agree that this is the worst explained fight evar. Please have someone else at tankspot voice over the same video or make another one

[zero916619]

@hilarychloebelf he explains this well actually lol

[oliverkruse10]

@hilarychloebelf are u stupid or deaf ? it was easy to hear what he explains and he does it perfect

[StevenC523]

"Tank him over by the telephone" LOL

[Matetele]

lol " they can be dispelled off terrorists" xD i love the translator

[joanneyoon]

I wish he didn't talk with a question after every sentence.

[ZafPedx]

Bad commentary. The mechanics are half explained. I'm not sure which rolls should be doing what. Also the fact that you sat there for the last 3 minutes without saying anything or putting the ending plug in at all.

[Dllshockk]

What player/target frame is used in this video? Thanks

[burningchakra0000]

whut addons r u using?

Btw the viode is very nice 10x for it :)

[tdasas11]

Try turning google transcribe :D it is hilarious

[1Woodmaster]

@tdasas11 I laughed so hard I cried

[BenjaminDFA]

Hey how do you guys figure all this stuff out? Does blizzard release information about how to do the raid, or do the players have to figure it all out by themselves ?

[FBIFATGUY]

Someone in this vid has the Ulduar Mace!

[kaziabir1]

@FBIFATGUY i dont see, but i wudnt be surprised if there's some1 with tht...may be paying big cash for carry xD

[WoWtutorial]

who are the 2 tanks? names

[IICurryKidII]

@WoWtutorial Darksend is the Druid Tank POV, not sure about the DK.

[frankmirfan455]

why does this look so goofy

like the words

[sharkattack056]

What would happen if you were the idiot who released? You'd be out of range for the kill? I'd hate to be that guy XD

[Daunlouded]

@sharkattack056 I heard that the game wont let you release. So no idiots, sorry.

[DrakeDraco2000]

I find it ironic with the Lich King fight, if you ever watch a video made by a guild who is killing the Lich King for the first time, you'll hear them cheering in vent as he kills them all at 10%. Hilarious! xD

[TinyGalore]

WAUW <3

[raftek666]

3:01 Grrrz

[catsgomurrow]

@katrinamcneese618 why do i see your comments on like all wow videos? are you like a spammer?

[candipoox]

What's your suggestions for a demo lock when they are inside? Should I keep my felguard or summon the felhunter like you mentioned?

[lewismead1]

OH S**Y THAT BIT IS AWSOME

[mahnk12]

yo, wat combat/UI add-ons is he using?

[dreamomega]

Its the worst yet its the most popular?

[Niemeyer1]

I can't learn anything watching 4-6 seconds with a 10 second pause in between. Youtube is probably the worst host available.

P.S. I knew you'd say that. I'm on a T1. So no it's not me. I assure you. Youtube sucks ass

[312guiltys]

@Niemeyer1 its finne for me and i guess the majority of people - fix ur pc or get a better internet connection either way stop whining when its ure fault

[karlen1534]

The reason he didnt kill them all right away is because he wanted to know if they were azeroths greatest champions, and if you were facing ur mortal enemy wouldnt u want they to suffer then give them a painless death?

[wWdirtysanchezMm]

Can anyone tell me the name of the time bars he has on top?

[thomasdfghj1]

@wWdirtysanchezMm deadly boss mod...

[wWdirtysanchezMm]

@thomasdfghj1 It's not Deadly Boss Mods. I ended up finding out what it was and it's Deus Vox Encounters.

[DragonMoth34]

if i was arthas i wouldnt toy around. i would do everything to destroy my enemies quicly as possible? did u see how he just froze tirion? wouldint it be possible for him to freeze entire raid and then kill em all? but anyway i got idea for the hardest boss ever. i guess like FL where theres no aggro. but even harder where the boss goes for a rondom heals first and yea but nvm u know what i mean!

[taichihamsta]

@DragonMoth34

or he could've just used that death touch at the very begining and not waste half an hour

[PeonsOnStrike]

@taichihamsta

But after he uses death touch he loses the fight :|

[taichihamsta]

@PeonsOnStrike

yes but if he finished tirion before he used it, it wouldnt have been a problem>.>

[Petter1900]

@DragonMoth34

he's not planning to "just kill" the raid, he wants the best of the best, he wants the raid to become his second in command sort to say, have you seen all the quests where he lets you live? because he wants to train you, to become the best minions he ever had.

[kylebadass123]

@Petter1900 blown mind.

[ThePallymonsta]

Great video, Explained everything perfect. Also does the fighting the lich king usally take as long as this did?

[Petter1900]

@ThePallymonsta most likely longer.

[ethelea]

Fordring's a piece of crap.. gets frozen easily like that and chills and watches while we do all the work. Fail.

[Liekpew]

God fucking damnit.. i got so pissed when i heard "the only class that should have any problems with this is a boomkin" FUCK! im a fking boomkin and that pissed me of! XD

[Behemoth2k7]

@Liekpew

1. bear form

2. enrage

3. bash

4. ???

5. profit

[thomasdfghj1]

@Liekpew same here <.<

[sbrogden8081]

i like how he just stops narrating

[kyoukitenshi21]

... Does anyone realize that this fight is pathetic? Like, there's nothing original about the fight.. there are no cool staging effects.. I was hoping for something totally epic for this fight and everything, but this.. this is pathetic. Hard modes? No. Screw how difficult hard modes are, make that the normal mode difficulty. Bosses should be hard. Especially fucking ARTHAS. ARTHAS FOR GOD'S SAKE.

[gonnabagates]

@kyoukitenshi21

ur right.. i feel bosses should be hella difficult to beat. not somthing taken lightly. get even more out of the game. and offer even higher rewards to the harder bosses

[UzumakiYodaime]

i like the musicc1!! what is the name of the song / songs ???

[JackTheRipperKim]

hey what nameplate addon are you using?

[LittleChris96]

Wiped XD Look at the Skeleton's At the side XD :P

[FaithSlayer21]

Tiron does the rez.

[Firecloud20]

wiped at 5 mill here given up after 10 wipes :P

[Blaze2k14]

Damn thats sneaky of blizz to sneak the "don't release" in

[redflagshaw]

what addon is used for the cooldowns?

[arminyack]

what is the music?

[arminyack]

What is that music you put it to?

[ChikaWoka]

who did the rez??

[wowWyeth]

the frozen dude does the raid rez

[Alexa14914]

how much health does he have in 25 man mode?

[Justrandomthingys]

61M

[gegapro]

What server are you guys on?

[sicness27]

If you get him to 10% before the enrage he won't enrage after that, he takes a good minute to do the LOLore so it'd be silly to count that against you.

[gagamaba]

what happens if he goes enrage in the last phase after the paladin rezzt the raid?

[DriantX]

@gagamaba

he'll die very vey angry

[Follovvth3dream]

@gagamaba if that happens then you should quit wow or get some better dps in your guild

[Follovvth3dream]

urgh hes gona be a bitch on heroic mode D:

Just got to him on normal mode XD roll on +dps buff! :D

[Warphaker]

Moar like the bitch king, amirite?

[serialslicendice]

sheky, no... why would you waste the time and effort gaining the rage when a boomkins role is the dps... unscrewed, this is incorrect, i dont know the exact amount but that is deffinitely way too low

[HELLSACOOLTODD]

@Mickemicke Your cool

[shekyno6]

cant a NE boomkin just go bear and bash?

[Lownek]

Love that LK wipes raids at 10% as part of the encounter, and you get a chance to release. Cracks me up imagining how many people the first time were likely "WTF!?" when he did that.

I am curious, does the event wipe count for a repair bill hit?

[SuperRosenquist]

@Lownek LoL, who care about a reapirbill after defeating LK ?

[xTSniFFs]

how much hp does he have?

[Noniythegamer]

@xTSniFFs

61009k, which is equal to 61 million.

[H0rcrux]

@xTSniFFs - A fuckload! Seriously. :)

[Unscrewed101]

5 million

[P0UNC3D]

amazing

[0424545269]

lol at kilerpaladin17 for not knowing the facts

[gtrmaster999]

woo fist pumpin like champs!

[Asgeir321]

Well, the Blood Legion killed the LK 1 day after realase, plus, they had to clear everything up to him and killed Valithria Dreamwalker and Sindragosa very easily. the LK should have been harder, yes. And couple of days later, Ensidia is on LK in 25-man heroic.

[Joker5133]

ensidia was world first but the saronite bombs that there rogues use buged out the platform and it didnt disapper so they got band but they did get world first

[ciaran012]

Was darksend and this guild not all alliance?? :o Did the whole guild get a faction change or what?

[darksendkilla]

back in toc about a month after anub hard mode was unlocked

[mcfry13]

great vid, the relaxing music is a great touch too.

[DmdRonin]

its always the same music -.-

[rkid1296]

man they shoulda made it so the LK is immune to all damage before the shamblings are killed, that way you couldn't just zerg him down through P1

[jmak1995]

they made ICC waaaaaaay to easy caompared the very last raids in BC and vanilla

[Jonnywow55]

That's why The Lich King has lasted longer than Kil'Jaeden did in Sunwell (he lasted 4 days, so far The Lich King has lasted 6 days) and Yogg-Saron 0+ lasted longer than any other boss in the game so far.
