Lo, I'm still only partway through actual WC III, started it ages ago
but got distracted when I moved house last year, never finished it
yet. I'll have to get around to it now!

Lol I can well see why! Only reason we got through it was that with
lvl 85 healthpools I could live a while (although it was *still* a
pain to avoid/outheal the rain of fire, that still hurts a fair bit),
plus my bf could pump out enough dmg before he died that I only had
about 1 million to solo (and thankfully Thrall was still alive too to
help out a bit) It's certainly not an eay fight, and had my bf lived
less time (my priest got taken out before him, thankfully, which gave
us an extra 45 sec or so), I'd have struggled to get the rest of the
health down before I ran out of health myself.

Archimonde was similar, very very close on the dps thing, if I go back
I'll take note and find every dps buff I can before starting, rather
not leave it so late as to have him actually hit enrage before we
reach 10% lol! I assume gearing up a touch will help there though;
frankly I was amazed we managed it at all, it's nice to see how
possible this raid actually is now. Definitely needs a healer in the
group though, a lot of things damage me quite a lot, and feral heals
are so weak nowadays :-(

I can well imagine that! Those abominations hurt a fair bit, stun = no
dodging/savage defence, and I tend to be down at half health or so
till my bf switches to his priest and heals me up again, soloing would
be pretty tough. Would love to try on a tankadin though, Word of Glory
would make life much easier!

Grats :-) I'm on 48 atm with 4 Cataclysm ones to go myself, plus I
believe guildrep will count so that'll be 53. Question is where to go
for the last two for the guild achievement; I'm thinking Scale of the
Sands for one, if I can persuade my bf to help, since this went far
easier than I expected. Possibly Brood of Nozdormu for the other, or
maybe Hydraxian (can solo Hydraxian, over the course of 6 months or
so, will need my bf to help for Brood, though that one would be less
time needed)

Afraid it won't, at least it certainly didn't to the personal
achievements, and I assume wouldn't towards guild either - when I
switched factions there in WotLK, my personal total went down until
I'd brought it back up. Don't bother with Arathi/Warsong, I pvped
quite a lot in TBC days and I'm honoured with both, nuff said, really.
Unless you want to *live* in BGs for 6 months, forget it! Much more
time effective to do one of the others, I think, at least now I know I
can do Scale of the Sands alright, can solo some trash if I can't get
my bf to help, but it's a fast enough run that I'm hoping he will
help, took maybe 2.5 hours to clear the place.
