Since the release of Patch 3.3 many players have had one single thing on thier mind, the defeat of Arthas, the Lich King. To many Arthas is the tob bad guy in the game and people have been itching to fight him. Now that you have battled through everything leading up to him in Icecrown Citadel, what do you need to know about him? Join our very own Byron “Messiah” Mudry as he runs you through the basics.

In the transitional phase there will also be three raging spirits summoned, one every 20 seconds, that silence anyone in their front arc, these need to be DPSed very quickly.  Also frost orbs will be launched at you from the center of the room, and need to be DPSed before they reach the group or they explode knocking players off.  Lastly Arthas applies a DoT called pain and suffering to a random player and it does damage to that player and spreads to anyone close by each time it ticks.  It also stacks, so staying close together can lead to wipes very quickly.  The transition lasts for one minute.

You can find all the details in our Guide to Ice Crown Citadel - The Frozen Throne.
