The Obsidian Sanctum
Also called Sarth or Sartharion for the boss within, this raid is similar to Gruul or Magtheridon (or Onyxia, if you’ve been raiding that long) in that it is a short raid with a single boss encounter. (Technically, Gruul’s had two, High King Maulgar and his council and then Gruul himself, but it was still a short raid along these lines.) Unlike those pervious raids, however, the Obsidian Sanctum has a built-in ‘hard mode’ of sorts, as the three sub-boss drakes Shadron, Tenebron and Vesperon can be killed before engaging Sartharion himself or left alive and dealt with while engaging him for better loot and a chance at a mount. This also leads to one of the hardest boss fights in the current game being 10 man Sartharion with three drakes up. (I’ve only killed him on normal difficulty with one drake up and that wasn’t easy, so when we get around to leaving all three up I expect to get thrashed fairly often.)

The vault is a raid instance accessible only to members of the faction that control Wintergrasp. It is one of the more important reasons why control of Wintergrasp is so important. Archavon the Stone Watcher is an extremely easy raid boss who drops pieces of Tier 7 and Arena gear. In short, he means free epics.
While there are no level restrictions to entering Wintergrasp (though if you can’t fly you’ll either have to take the portal or be summoned), players must be Level 80 and in a raid group in order to enter the Vault of Archavon raid instance. It’s a very short raid with exactly four trash mobs who have special abilities, but are essentially tank and spank and prepare the raid for how the boss will be like. Archavon is a DPS race.

After a few all-nighters in a row and a lot of showing up to work very tired, I finally reached level 80 this weekend. After a few victory laps in Dalaran to celebrate my victory over experience points and blue bubbles and Hemet Nesingwary (not for long, I’m sure); the looming realization of level-cap responsibilities started to enter my mind. Reputations, heroics, arena points, and honor – I had a lot of work to do.
So, I took my own advice and decided to start some heroics, but not before spec’ing into my PvP mutilate build. I thought about trying out the truly insane DPS of Honor Amongst Thieves builds, but decided to postpone that until I’ve got some more gear to give it a real trial. Read on to see what I discovered on the way to my first Emblem of Heroism.

We’re getting to the point in Wrath where more than just the hardcorestof the hardcore are raiding. Not everyone is there (and not everyone is interested), but the time will come. On the way there, you’re going to have to visit an old friend: The hit cap.
In Wrath of the Lich King, the hit cap has moved from the original 16% to 17% hit. Why? Prior to this expansion, there was a baseline 1% chance to miss with spells that you could not remove. No matter how much hit rating you had, you were stuck with a 1% chance to miss. In Wrath, that’s gone. It can be overcome.

Trinkets are interesting items. They have different abilities and uses best suited for the situation at hand. Here is the majority of trinkets that I believe us healers would be interested in the most and my initial thoughts on them. I’ve even recommended a few of them for us Priests!
Soul Preserver: Kill Mal’Ganis in CoT: Stratholme, and you might get this decent trinket. This one of the first trinkets I acquired at 80 and it served me well. I had a lot of mana problems early on and this helped ease the pain. Resto Druids may wish to look at this trinket as well. I don’t know if it procs off of HoT ticks or just spell casts. Comments on WoW Head reveal that it has no internal cooldown either. It can also proc off of every jump from Chain Heal for the Resto Shamans.

This is legit so all knows. And don’t come with that everyone knows it possible either I am just trying to give some points or help out some people..
so lets start of about tiger boss (Thekal) in zg.
As a DK (Unholy) With 6 nax epics I’ve soloed him three times now, it sure would be easier with a healer but hell its doable.
Only hard part is to make sure all 3 “bosses” go down at the same time, so therefor ill explain how to keep you’re self up while doing this.
Start of killing his tigers d’oh 9k hp nothing special.

After killing Instructor Razuvious you can use the crystals and keep his adds alive, then pull the next room to the DK understudies. These will annihilate any mobs you pull to them, making the next room super easy mode.
I mean.. super…easy… moder

Kinda useless because naxx is incredibly easy, but a lock can use the demon gate teleporting thing to switch between live and dead, in case one side needs more dps, or one side is going too fast,etc. Can be helpful.
