Ulduar Drake Run

Orbitu-ary: Kill FL, with all four orbital systems must be up

Easy. We've gotten this multiple times. Everyone needs to pay attention, but it's totally doable, however it can also just dropkick a raid if people aren't paying attention. I almost say to just let this one go till the end, cause then if it's the last achievement to get you can come back the following week and it's the first boss.

Strokin the Furnace: Defeat Ignis in 4 minutes

Easy in ICC gear. Just position him hold him still and obliterate.

Iron Dwarf, Medium Rare: Defeat 25 Dark Rune Guardian Dwarves with Razorscale's Flame Breath1

Also easy, just takes time. There's another achievement for getting him dead fast, and you can't do both at once, but this is more important. Basically you gather up dark rune guardians, and then position them when he lands, and don't really dps Razorscale until you all get the 25 dead. It stacks though between visits so you can do it in one trip, and if you miss, you can easily get it on a second.

Heartbreaker: Defeat XT-002 Deconstructor after destroying his heart

Easy with gear.

I Choose You, Steelbreaker: Defeat the Assembly of Iron with Steelbreaker as the last member alive

Easy with gear if you pay attention.

Disarmed: Destroy both of Kologarn's arms and then Kologarn himself within 12 seconds

Easy with gear if you pay attention

Crazy Cat Lady: Defeat Auriaya without destroying her Sanctum Sentries

Easy with gear if you pay attention

I Could Say that this Catche Was Rare: Defeat Hodir before he shatters his rare cache

Easy with gear if you pay attention

Lose Your Illusion: Defeat Thorim while Sif is present

Easy with gear if you pay attention

Now the harder ones....

Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood: Defeat Freya while leaving all 3 Elders alive

Firefighter: Attempt 14 times before giving up and saying that you never wanted that drake anyway

                 Also: Defeat Mimiron after activating his Self-Destruct mechanism

Both these are all about execution. Enrage timers aren't an issue. People paying attention and not doing what they're supposed to WILL kill people and then wipe the raid. KKKoW is easier if you can get people to understand bringing the 3 adds down simultaneously. Firefighter is one of the most complicated fights in the game, and people need to be on their extreme toes, and often times that doesn't happen.

I Love the Smell of Saronite: Defeat General Vezax after defeating the Saronite Animus

This is one of two I don't have in 10 man version. It's supposedly easy though. Bring a wand if you're a caster.

One Light in the Darkness: Defeat Yogg-Saron with the assistance of one or fewer Keepers

This is also a hard fight, easier than Firefighter, but with gear it seriously helps to bring the adds down. If people pay attention it should be doable.

----

In summation. If people show up thinking we can roflstomp it like Naxx then shut the fuck up and go home. We can roflstomp parts of it but other parts will make you never want to step back into Ulduar again. If you're incapable of following directions and moving fast you simply won't get Firefighter or Yogg down. It's that simple. Probably not Freya hard either. The outsdie, and the Antechamber (sans Algalon) are for the most part pushovers with some basic instruction. The elders take an increasing amount of raid awareness from Hodir -> Thorim -> Freya -> Mimiron. General Vezax is actually pretty easy in comparison, but Yogg is again a multi stage pay attention fight.

I should note that I'm going to do my best to be home by 9pm for this, I have something that's supposed to go till 9:30pm so I'll duck out early and race to my computer. I might be a few minutes late, but hold a space for me till you get up cleared to Flame Leviathan (or even till after that)....I'll be back....

And I recommend if you haven't done the fights before to look them up. If you don't you're just asking for a long painfull night.

For to long have the Rusted and Ironbound Proto Drakes taunted me...now they pay!

For some of the harder achieves gear is not enough to pull you through. You have to execute. It's not a faceroll. Don't go expecting to ace everything. Now that I've said, that, good luck and have fun!!

At this particular time I am not worried about firefighter and yogg.  We will get to them, but first things first.

I normally don't get home on Wednesdays til 9:30 server.  If you have a space I'd love to hop in.  I've never seen the inside of Ulduar and hear it's an experiance.  (The good kind, not like that kind with the Vicks Vapor Rub).

I planned on being there but one of my meds got changed and I get very naseous, generally at the WRONG time. The doctor swears this will go away after a few days... I'm on day 2 and this is royally screwing my life up.
