Stick a fork in him, he's done! All Wrath of the Lich King content, even the absurd extremes, has now been conquered. Yesterday Paragon (EU-Lightning's Blade) deactivated the zone wide 30% buff and killed the Lich King on heroic without any buff at all. Apparently they also did it with 24 people as they were having disconnect issues.

Whether this surpasses the difficulty of their original world first kill or not is questionable since they've had ample time to gear up their raiders in the best gear since then.

We wanted to see if Lich King with 0% zone buff awards an achievement or extra loot,  but the only cool thing was getting the caster sword (Bloodsurge, Kel'Thuzad's Blade of Agony) for the first time (x2). Decided to try this for the first time this week and used around 2 hours to get it done.

We had Nakkimon disconnecting in the beginning of the fight so we ended up doing it 24-man. The encounter wasn't that challenging, the only problem was getting everyone to stay online the whole encounter.

The WMO parse is available here.

I'm not sure whether this is more inspirational or depressing for guilds still having troubles with the Lich King even at 30%!
