Oh WoW again!
Yes, this would be a WoW-related post, so to the not geekily-inclined, skip :p

Jollibee, our mostly-Pinoy guild in Feathermoon-Alliance, downed the first four bosses of Icecrown Citadel, the newest dungeon added to World of Warcraft last weekend.
Due to lack of tanks, my main character (naks) Galadric the paladin had to don Holy spec and be a healer for most of the fights.
The first boss, Lord Marrowgar, is a ginormous skeleton that farts a cross-shaped deadly plume of iciness and whirlwinds across the entire room once in a while. Holy pallies are gimped here with all the necessary running around and their lack of instant-cast healing spells (5 second cooldown Holy Shock, bah!). We one-shot him down.
The second boss, Lady Deathwhisper, we had a couple of problems with. Even with 3 healers, we had 2 deaths (a rogue and a holy priest) who were battle-resurrected by our 2 druids. The deadly marks on the ground are a bit difficult to see at the lowest graphical detail and I was totally reliant on my add-on that thankfully alerted me of its presence. Despite that, we one shot the boss amidst the almost non-ending waves of adds.
The third "boss" is a cool showdown of airships. Cannons are fired, rockets are used to board the enemy ship to kill a monster when cannons are frozen, kill boarding enemies, repeat until one ship crashes. Astig. Again, one shot.
The fourth boss was trickier. Saurfang the death knight has a meter that increases by one point whenever he does damage. The tricky part is when he summons additional monsters. Whenever these monsters deal damage, Saurfang's meter increases as well. When the meter reaches 100, a debuff is placed on a party member that deals significant amount of damage to the party member every few seconds. We had two attempts we had to reset because we had the debuff too early due to improperly managed adds. Third try was a charm, though. I was asked to go DPS (woot!) and we finally downed the boss and got the achievement as well.
And Galadric got a sweeeeeet new weapon. I knew it would be replaced as soon as I properly enchanted my old weapon. Pfft.
