This longtime paladin tank went in the other direction when dual specs came out. Due to the 969 rotation I'd already had the six-second attacks (Shield of the Righteous, Hammer of Righteousness,...

Before Plagueworks opened we discussed here how and whether we GDKP raid leaders would spread out Icecrown over multiple nights. Here's one answer.

I think those of us with larger-than-average pots would gladly trade them for the progression your group achieved. I'm with Tel on this issue. My group last week killed Saurfang 1:45 after the first...

On Llane, the average price for a T10 token has been 15K with one selling for 25K the first week.
Just one wealthy competitor turns a ho-hum sale into a true bidding war. In three GDKP runs on Llane...

Icecrown 25 cleared via GDKP on Kilrogg, twice!

Forget Llane, Blackrock, or Kazzak; the honor of being the first known realm to clear Icecrown 25 via GDKP belongs to Kilrogg. And yes, both raids occurred during the first week. I happened upon a...

100% agreed. In my third run, we wiped four times on Anub'arak before beating him. From also having led and run in many pickup groups before GDKP, there is no way whatsoever that everyone would have...
