We have an ID available (Sindra remaining also). I'll set up raids for sunday and monday and see if we get enough signs to have some goes at LK heroic.

For the healing setup we need a disc priest and preferably a holy pally. (I don't know if healers are fine with 2 or they want to have a 3rd as well)

If you want to sign for this, you have to:

- Be a main
- Come prepared
- Read tactics, watched video(s).

Also, we need someone who wants to RL this. Anyone?

Wanted... DK or pally tank for that... I really struggled with getting the ghouls to me after the first pack... FF didnt do enough aggro even when the ghouls went for healers/dps :?

LK heroic strategy for those who have been lazy enough not to google it out :P ----> http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.php? ... -King-Hard

And some nice vid from Paragon's kill. The Frostmourne room is presented here very clearly.





As for Elu dying on Shambling Horrors, I've found this:
On heroic mode, the Shamblers have an additional enrage when they reach low health. This gives them a casted Enrage, which can be tranq shot off, and a permanent one, that cannot be. If both of these are active, they can hit extremely hard.

The good news is that they can be stunned while enraged. Have your tank stun the one in question, get a tranq shot (soothe from a druid) to remove the casted enrage, and you should be fine.

The one additional thing to watch for: If the shambler is stunned and the tank moves away, if it dies, there is a good possibility the plague it was carrying (if any) will be lost, setting you way behind on any other shamblers present. If the shambler in question has the plague, and there is a predicted need for the tank to move, it's better to just use cooldowns on the tank.
CoE/Ebon Plague/even Earth & Moon on the Shambling Horrors is essential cos they constantly enrage below 20% HP, so you really want the disease to kill them so that you can leapfrog >20% to below 0% - so no enrage. Consequently, your second tank will need to taunt over some ghouls to build up its damage.
We'll also want someone to take enrages off, someone to stun Valkyrs.. just like we had to in the beginning.

IF and only IF no one who is signed to the raid doesn't need the normal LK achieve can this be swapped for hc, whole purpose to drawing up the list and changing sign up rules for this was to give everyone the chance of the drake.

Keep in mind we started doing these hardmode/achievement runs early august. Imo it's not an unreasonable request to dedicate 1 or 2 resets to LK hc.

Nothing against LK HM, but it would cause some problems for the ones who are still after the mount.

It would be unfortunate if we ended up with a similar situation to the one we had some months ago when some people signed for LK runs and others signed for ICC HM runs.

Yes it will, 2 classes are a must:

Disc Priest.
Someone who can tranquilise or stun the Shambling Horrors when they enrage.

Dont even bother going if you dont have them.

Fun fight but very hard on healers, dps has to be top notch from everyone.

Sure. Problem is we need to unlock him by killing Prof, BQL and Sindra on hc. Ideally we have a decent number of tries left on LK then. If we decide to 'sacrifise' 1 raid lockout by handpicking the best possible setup for Putri, Sindra and LK. I think we do have a good chance on LK but it will take learning.

Any interest in setting up a serious attempt at LK 10 heroic? (Maybe 1 raid a week?) This might be tricky though, since I dont want it to interfer with the achievement runs.
