Lich King Down!

I teamed up with the Texas Mercenaries again tonight for another round with the Lich King. We were so close last week when they invited me I was excited when I was asked to come again. As usual I love raiding with them and we managed to pull it off tonight. Our defeat of the Lich King followed a FLAWLESS attempt. No one died, everyone did exactly what they were suppose to and brought him some major pain. I was even the first person to be pulled into the sword, I wish I had a screenshot of that! I was too busy trying to make sure I did everything right
I of course put aside my pride again for this run and spammed the HELL out of Power Word: Shield. I had read that Disc Priests are very effective against the Lich King. I typically won’t just spam one spell even if the masses tell me that is the most effective because it isn’t the most fun
But for the sake of getting the Lich King down I made an exception
I don’t think I would have been able to keep up with the shield spamming though after the 4.x changes without my Archangel. I was able to use that to recover mana each time the Valkyrie would come I’d assist, then pop archangel, BAM I got 5K mana and 15% more healing. Plus atonement is healing the whole time anyways. Atonement was severing me well with the ICC buff smite hits pretty hard
I found the cut scene which I had watched before from the fountain, so much more satisfying coming after the fight. I also found it very satisfying to kill the end boss of the expansion, DURING the expansion. Though this of course is at the very end of things but still an accomplishment none the less. I believe most people are trolling when they say he is easy. It takes 10 people in perfect unison to get him down. Perhaps in 25 man it is easier? It has always seemed to me in 25 man you can stand to loose a few people but in 10 man unless you outclass the content you need all 10 people.
Other than that most exciting moment, today I spent most of the time playing my Mage Seun. The one that was named Laneir I renamed recently. I plan to race change him to a Dwarf when the expansion hits
I was just running around doing the cataclysm quests for gold and fun plus queuing for dungeon runs. I also managed to do all the event bosses but I haven’t got any gear from it yet. Maybe tomorrow?
I also hope to make some attempts at some Ulduar or BT this weekend, Still have achievements to get there! This was a completely awesome ending to the day though. I thank the Texas Mercenaries for inviting me. I really enjoy raiding with them!
