I want a new mount!!!!

From time to time I have this strange urge to change things, the other day was my spec, changed and currently testing a unholy spec, but today I want a new mount! Getting tired of my old drake... And he is also tired of me... Maybe I'm getting fat... Maybe...

So whats required to have a new mount? Achievements!!! How does it work? Picture this: 25 raiders go kill a boss, when they start the fight they do strange things like kissing a boss, not getting bites, or not killing ads... After doing a all sort of crazy things you tell everyone you are /flex /awesome /crazy and the old god blizz will give you a new mount.

There are many kinds of this challenges in ICC. I will talk about some of them...

Full House – Lady Deathwhisper


This is called Full house referring to poker. 3 of a kind and 2 of a kind in the same hand, 3 fanatics and 2 adherents. I'm a imba poker player. ;)

We need to defeat Lady Deathwhisper with at least five different types of Cultists active at the time of her demise in 25-player mode.

We must kill the boss making sure that we have 5 adds alive. The add must up are:
- Cult Fanatic, Deformed Fanatic, Reanimated Fanatic
- Cult Adherent, Reanimated Adherent

Strategy
Don’t kill the marked ads. Don’t aoe. Kill the unmarked ads. Only drop the barrier when tanked assigned to ads gives ok!


Flu Shot Shortage - Festergut

This one is cooooool. You just need to avoid having more that two stacks of the inoculation given by the spores.

Strategy

First spore goes out of the group. The second and third spore is done in a normal way, except the one marked by the first spore moves way so he doesn't have more than 2 stacks. Aura mastery and stuff in the Pungent Blight...



Dances with Oozes - Rotface

Rotface is our Kevin Costner and we need to learn the dance. Defeat Rotface without a Big Ooze casting Unstable Ooze Explosion in 25-player mode...

Strategy

3 tanks, 1 on the boss, two kite big oozes, mellee give tanks the small oozes, ranged are spread and they keep their small oozes. Kill kill kill!!!!


Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion... - Professor Putricide

This one is fun. Defeat Professor Putricide without using Regurgitated Ooze on the Abomination in 25-player mode. That means..., no slow on the damn oozes...

Strategy


RUN!!!!!!






And thats all for now...

More will follow... I guess...

Silence at last

Yes, its true, no more strange whispers from the dead lady. We finally made her see that our sharp blades and our powerfull casts are stronger than any annoying whisper. Let me tell you in detail what happend that night.



21:30 - Arrived at the guild center and pickup the fight plan for the night;
21:31 - Went for the wc for a deap analisys of the plan;
22:45 - After a some strategic thinking decided to pick up my gear, food, flasks, pots and gold for the repairs;
23:00 - Arrived at ICC, door was wide open. Tirion Fordring was there. Talked with him a bit, noticed same problems with is Ret spec... I hope he changes that unused mass ress talent like I told him to do...
23:05 - Invited Tirion to join us in the fight but he said no... Maybe he was pissed with my advice...
23:15 - Took the transporter but arrived in a strange place... A place full of lights... A place with a big window and a blueish huge marble outside... This place looks like a secret area of ICC... I guess... Tryed to heartstone out but it didn't work. Finally started to hear some faint voices down the corridor: "What have you done Scotty!!! I said beam Spock aboard, not him!", "Jim, I'm doing me best! There was a quantic interferance in the sub sonic amplifiers! I'll transport him back...";
23:20 - WoW... That was strange... I was back in the room entrance... Really have to stop drinking... Started to feal the whispers in my head again... "You have found your way here, because you are among the few gifted with true vision in a world cursed with blindness." I closed my eyes and keeped my cool...
23:45 - After some delay, turbulence in the flight path I'm sure, the team was fully assembled and ready to kick ass;
23:50 - Without notice Rackham was teleported out. A strange message appered in the thin air: "Pay pay pay!!! Pay now!!!!"... I've heard about this before. Its a old God called bliz. He is a bad ass;
23:51 - It was a joke from the old God... Rackham is back again :) This God is funny as hell :D A new message appered "Sorry ;)"...
00:07 - "Ghosts!!! Move!! Run!!! MC now!!! Focus!!! Ghosts are up! Move!!! MCs now!!! No explosions plz!!! Mooooove!!!! Focus guy!!!";
00:19 - We could feel improvements every new try;
00:37 - "Run!!! Move!!! Focus!!!! Mind control!!! Run!!!! Ghosts!!! Move guys!!!! MC!!! Ghost are up!!! Moooooooove!!!!";
01:02 - We managed to nearly kill her. She was almost dead when in a final dying breath she enraged and... we died...
01:15 - Lady Deathwhisper asked for a break to go to the bathroom. As a true lady she is, she asked Sindy to go with her... I think she feels, for the first time, she is no longer safe; 
01:30 - We started the fight again. I'm sure I can see a lipstick and some new colors on her face. Could that be a sign?;
01:48 - "Focus!!! Ghosts now!!! Run!!!! Move!!!! MC plz!!! Don't kill the MCs!!! Ress plz!!! My ress is on CD... Mine is on DVD ;)"
02:04 - After a night of great progression we aimed for more! We aimed for the first kill!!! After 9 minutes of pure concentration, we did it. She was seconds away from the enrage but we nailed her to the ground. Her final whisper was: "All part of the masters plan! Your end is... inevitable!"... I think she had a crush on Eli... Honest...
02:30 - End of the raid, a fun night, a great achievment.

And that was it..., the true sequence of events of that night. Forgot to tell you that I went back for Tirion to check his spec but he already left the place... Slacker...
