So you want to get your grubby mitts on a sexy item level 277 ring, with slots and procs and all manner of jewellery goodness rolled into a rep grind rather than a bank busting trip to Tiffany Cartier! You do? Do you also want a snazzy new title to show off to all your mates, yes? Well then don’t we just have the achievement for you.
Our Survey Says: To EZMode or not to EZMode?
That is the question.
For those who aren’t aware, Icecrown Citadel zone-wide buffs have gone live on US servers (my gnomes tell me it’s not live for us yet, which can only mean it’s coming tomorrow). The current buff will give a 5% increase to your health, damage and healing done, which is a pretty big increase when you think about it. It’s very likely that higher percentage buffs will be activated over time.
The catch here is that these buffs are optional, but either the whole raid takes them or the whole raid doesn’t so far as I can tell. There are bound to be disagreements among those who would rather get a “clean” kill and those who just want to get through the bosses as quickly as possible, but if it were up to you which camp would you fall into?

Introduction from the ED: Prue’s crazy endeavours have featured highly on Emerald Dreamers recently, he has kindly offered to do a running report of his 10 man achievement group for Icecrown Citadel, full of hints, tips and giggles along the way. This first post covers all the ICC boss fights and will elaborate on these and the hard mode achievements over the following weeks!
Seeing as this will be my first blog entry, covering our weekly ICC 10 man run, this one might end up being a pretty long write-up since we are already a few weeks in. The content will mostly be about the individual boss achievements, since these are our main priority, and the upcoming hard modes, coupled with – hopefully – some witty remarks and funny incidents along the way. With insanity tribute runs on farm very early on we have been aching to get some new challenges for our 10 man setup and without having tried any of Icecrown Citadel on the PTR it has so far been a refreshing experience compared to its gap-filling predecessor.
Icecrown Citadels first guests
I want to take my hat of to the following guilds who have downed the first four bosses of Icecrown Citadel on the night of the patch release (I myself haven’t even logged in yet………. Naughty Jodie!)
Released 09/12/09: The Lower Spire bringing you Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Icecrown Gunship Battle and Deathbringer Saurfang.
Our Survey Says: 3.3 Release
The news should have filtered down to even the most oblivious player by now…the patch is on it’s way! For some of us it’s an exciting time, we’ve managed to complete at least most of the current raid content but with enough left over to keep us from becoming bored, but others haven’t been so lucky.
I’m glad to count myself among the former group, but which are you? Share your thoughts, ‘cos let’s face it we have little better to do while the realms are down.

The Soapbox: Icecrown Gated Progression
If you have any passing interest in the soon-to-be-released raid content, you’ve probably seen this post.
Predictably, a lot of progression raiders seem to think the sky is falling, because they won’t get to down Arthas the night the patch is released. To be fair, it’s understandable. If raiding is all you want from the game, and Blizzard put a seemingly arbitrary limit on the rate you can get things done, I can see how that would be annoying. Let me offer up a different point of view, however.
