Actually, killing LK is NOT a requirement for Shadowmourne, you recieve the weapon after handing in the 50 shards. Shards are NOT a 100% drop rate, but 25% - 50% from normal 25 man bosses, and 50% to 100% from hc 25 man bosses. So it will take a fair amount of time to collect those anyway... Killing LK with a shadowmourne in the raid is something completely different.
Anyway, to rerail this thread, this is less about me, it could be Khary or Tea or anyone else who has made the investment of time, gold and effort to get through the questline. I put up this thread to encourage DISCUSSION on viable ways of acheiving said quest targets, and NOT as an "Oh I want my legendary weapon plzzz thread." Obviously as a paladin my approach to Sindi has several possible ways to accomplish compared to warriors or DKs, and the reason I am positing it now as opposed to waiting until Sindi is on farm is two-fold... reason one is the discussions elsewhere about summer raiding, and reason two, I believe I can accomplish this quest without being a significant drain on the raid as a whole (no more or less than any other raider anyway). I was asking for comments on the viability of a semi-healing approach (obviously I need to have shadows edge equipped, and FR gear on - appropriately gemmed etc for whichever spec we agree is more viable). Im wise enough to note that if it becomes clear that I am a huge drain on raid resources after a few attempts at it, I am quite happy to pass on continuing attempts in order to get her down. In all honesty tho, I dont see the point of not even trying IF the raid setup for that evening allows for it.
