Haha, IF you're good enough, me and my bf are failing at duoing it at
present, I guess lacking the skill :-P We're fine on 25 normal though,
and failing heroic is probably us being noobs :-P

I'm meaning to try that one, bosses died way fast when I did it on 25
not going for that achievement, so the ach should be well possible
even for me.

Yeah, the key here is a buff to dmg against mobs from lower lvl
expansions, for a very clear way to see it, take a lvl 90 to Jade
Forest, attack a lvl 85 mob and note the numbers... then go to
Twilight Highlands and see the numbers there - miles higher. Makes for
a ton of fun visiting old content, especially for people like me who
didn't do most of it at the time, I hadn't seen the Cata raids at all
(except Dragon Soul LFR) and had only done 10-man Wrath raids before
this patch, so clearing through them all for the first time or on
harder modes is fun!
