25-player Lich King Killed by Ensidia

Ensidia of EU-Tarren Mill defeated the 25-player version of the Lich King today (or tonight if you're in Europe).  It looks like their Rogues were using Saronite Bombs however, which was hotfixed shortly thereafter due to apparently making the encounter far easier than intended, according to Daelo.

*Update*

Yes it seems this bug does relate to our kill. We had no idea that our Rogues using Saronite Bombs in their rotation (as they always do) was causing it and thusly it occured every try we did. Short version, we're not going to stop trying the boss when all we are doing is playing our normal game. It would be nice if these kinds of things, much the same as Holy Wrath on Anub, were tested before release.

It does make the fight easier, but we are 100% sure it would have died either way. It only affects one of the easier phases.

As a side note this only occured in 25 man.

Ling King Encounter Hotfix - Disabling Saronite Bombs

Quote from: Daelo (Source)

We just made a hotfix that disables the siege damage dealt by Saronite Bombs and the Global Thermal Sapper Charge. The siege damage of the bombs was causing the Frozen Throne platform to rebuild, which greatly decreases the difficulty of the encounter.

We'll reenable the siege damage in a later update when the issue with the Frozen Throne is fixed.

Well as the topic says we managed to kill 25 man Lich King also today. The Cinematic really is impressive and overall the role play aspect is enjoyable and adds a lot to the fight

So next week the real challenge begins with Heroics beginning and we can't wait to get our teeth into those. Hopefully we will manage to kill the Lich King with our alt raid in Normal but the DPS requirements seem quite high!
