Wrong. ilvl 226 gears are equal to Heroic malygos and KT gears. Normal Ulduar gear ilvl varies from 219 - 226. This achivement encourages ppl to use Ulduar 10 gear, NOT just naxx 25 gear :)

Commento di 252897

10-man Ulduar: 219 (Few weapons are 226)
10-man Ulduar (Hard): 226
25-man Ulduar: 226 (Weapons 232)
25-man Ulduar (Hard): 239

Basically its all loot from 10-man (Excluding possible Algalon higher item level ones) and non-weapon loot from 25-man normal modes (Again, no Algalon) that you can use for this one.

Edit: I wonder why am I getting downrated for posting correct information...durr.
Editv2: Seems like Yogg drops 226 iLevel stuff on normal mode...

Commento di Zomglazerpew

If you primarily run 25 player instances and want to get this achievement/title, just hang on to your Kel'thuzad weapons and regular Ulduar 25 boss kills and you should be good to go.

Source
MMO-Champion 25 man Gear
MMO-Champion 10 man Gear

If you go to the links below the Source and look at the Armor/Trinkets from 25 man, a good majority are ilvl 226. Most of the 10 man loot is ilvl 219 with an exception of the Hard Mode stuff which is 226. So if you want this achievement, either get 25 man loot from regular boss kills or your 10 man loot from hardmodes and regular.

Commento di 164994

For clarification, does this mean lvl 226 items CAN be used? So will a fury warrior be able to use betrayers, or will he be forced to downgrade into 10 man weapons?

Commento di Syladind

This looks like a hard achievement. Considering that you are only allowed a one hour wipefest on Algalon, and even the best guilds will want the best gear to just learn something about this guy, only the MOST experienced guilds will ever try this.

Commento di Harson

Congratulations to "Gentlemens Club" of Korgath-US for getting this achievement.

Commento di Tempri

This achievement states you cannot have gear which is higher than 226. That means you can use full tier 8.5 etc. apart from weapons which would be mostly 232. It has now been reworded so people may understand it easier.

Commento di 348305

This achievement is very poorly worded. I got this achievement tonight, using an ilvl 232 weapon and wand. Due to the way 10man hardmode loot works, you can still get this achievement using ilvl 232 weapons, offhands, wands, ranged weapons, sigils, idols, etc etc. You cannot be wearing any armor, or using any trinkets higher than 226.

Commento di 273013

This should be a "Feat of Strength" Achievement imo..

Commento di 179893

Killing a boss with appropriate gear instead of going back with 25 man or Trial of the Crusader gear? That's not a feat of strength, it's killing the boss how you should be.

Commento di Aurelius

Just a warning to anyone attempting this achievement.

Any loot from Trial of the Crusader 10 Man will automatically disqualify you from getting this achievement, even though the items are iLevel 232.

Commento di 224110

Does anyone know if the 10man loot from Onyxia counts against this achievement? I got Gleaming Quel'serrar last night and wasn't sure if I could use it due to ToC gear not being allowed.

Edit: Our 10man group just did this and I did end up using this sword. I can confirm that it doesn't matter where the gear comes from as long as it meets the ilvl requirements. The weapon/offhand/ranged slots can be 232 or lower. The rest of your gear must be 226 or lower.

Commento di 488587

Just did this. I can confirm that you are allowed:

1) Item Level 232 weapons from ToC 10
2) Item Level 226 items from Ulduar 25 and Naxx
3) Tanked with Item Level 232 Weapon, Shield, and Gun

Of note: if you ask a GM, they might tell me otherwise. The GM I spoke to told me that 232 weapons from ToC 10 and Onyxia 10 were not allowed, which is WRONG. Don't trust the GMs on this one, just follow the basic rule of 226 on every slot with 232 allowed on weapon and ranged slots.

Commento di 104412

Possibly not the smartest thing to remark that people who did this achievement "outgeared" it:

http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=12166327246&sid=1

What Mniangel said was ''lol, noob?. Flexing a title that you have clearly outgeared, haha''.

Followed with a ''You are not very bright are you?''. And multiple whispers from Fallen Legion members stating the fact that Mniangel, was a pure failure in both reading and thinking.

Commento di Elegant996

This should be a feat by now. I am not saying remove this achievement, but I am saying trying to complete all of the achievements makes this one really hard compared to others because of the downgrade of gear. If this achievement is left as it is; come Cataclsym this would be something you would not find a group for. Letting it be a feat of strength would be much more fitting.

Commento di zverushka

2 or 3 heals need?

Commento di Quaeras

Are epic gems okay?

General Advice:

Composition
Tanking is balanced in favor of prot paladins, followed by warriors, because of their many cooldowns and ability to block (Algalon has a very fast attack speed and dual-wields).

DPS is balanced in favor of ranged. You will need at least two ranged to kill the Collapsing Stars; stacking melee will cause problems as Cosmic Smash will force them to move continuously, as it targets individual players. At the gear level required by this achievement, the enrage timer is a serious consideration. While any composition is viable, you will want to choose a setup in which you have mutually synergized DPS.

I recommend a diverse healer comp. A holy paladin is particularly strong on this encounter.

Gearing
Helm: T8.5 (purchasable with badges)
Neck: Conquest Neck, or Malygos-25 quest reward (quest starter drops off Sapphiron-25)
Shoulders: T8.5 (recommended for offpieces if you can't get them from Yogg-25 - the only source for T8.5 shoulders)
Cloak: Valor cloak
Chest: T8.5 (purchasable with badges)
Wrist: 213 Valor bracers, or bracers from H ToC-5 / Regular ICC-5
Gloves: T8.5
Waist: Ulduar crafted belts
Legs: Usually the best offpiece for most classes. Saronite Plated Legguards are most strong for tanks. KT-25 and Malygos-25 drop excellent pants for many classes. Other classes can find options off OS10/25+3, and from normal Ulduar.
Hooves: Ulduar crafted hoof guards
Rings: Valor badge rings for all classes. H ToC-5 and ICC-5 provide options for other classes.
Trinkets:
All tanks should use Black Heart and either Heart of Iron, Royal Seal of King Llane, the Monarch Crab, or Essence of Gossamer. Defender's Code is also quite good.

All melee should use Greatness card. Fury of the Five Flights and Dark Matter are good options for the other slot.

All casters should use Illustration of the Dragon Soul and Eye of the Broodmother. Scale of Fates is also quite good.

Pandora's Plea and Darkmoon Card: Greatness are good healer trinkets.

Commento di 320573

Just did the achievement 2night. I would call this achievement really hard for a few main reasons

1)Its hard to find 10 people with the correct gear/ 10 people who want to collect some gear
2) The tight enrage timer (got 2 secs left on enrage)
3)Need to have a really good raid composition
4)People getting online to actually kill him (was the hardest part for us)

The raid composition was:
Tanks: 2x warriors. While fully buffed they had 42-46k hp each
Dps: shadow priest (guy who got the big bangs)
Hunter (he soloed the stars. Had huge experience of doing it so he could solo them)
mage (frostfire spec given that ulduar gear isnt that good for any other specs,= useless spirit)
Moonkin
Warlock (affliction spec. Was the guy who did the most dps)
Healers: Paladin (cant be done without one. was the main tank healer)
Shaman (Only healing the tanks using healing waves/earth shields)
Resto druid (this was me. I solo healed the raid during the whole fight and assisted on the tanks with hots+swiftmends)

During the fight the tanks will get HUGE amounts of dmg. That was one of the main reasons that would wipe us. Apart from that, You could wipe to small players mistakes, like not moving during cosmic smash etc.
The only usefull thing i could say about the fight is the dps meters:
1)Warlock 5400 dps
2)shadow priest 5100
3)mage 4200
4)boomkin 3700
5)hunter 3300

We had 2 seconds left on enrage. So aproximatelly this should be your average dps when you try to kill it.

Hope you good luck with it:) Really a fun fight to do+ a real challenge compared to what wotlk gives to you

Commento di 624423

I know it has been said time and time again, 226 except weapons 323 but I still would like confirmation if possible for the following :

-Sparadardi del Vilghiacciaio

and what is the deal for ammo ?

Commento di Nouh

Here's something I got from a guildie, who got it somewhere from the forums. Quick list of where to go farm, and where not to.

OK to Use:
- All Ulduar 10 normal loot and below (219)
- All Ulduar 10 hard mode loot (226 armor, 232 weapons/ranged)
- All Ulduar 25 normal loot (226 armor, 232 weapons/ranged)
- All weapons/ranged from ToC10 normal (232) <--- This has been confirmed by people who have gotten it with these items
- All Ulduar craftable gear (226)
- All emblem of conquest gear (226)
- Anything from ToC 5 man heroic (219)
- Weapons from ICC 5 mans heroic (232)
- Items from ICC 5 man regular (219)

Not OK to Use:
- Any armor from ToC10 normal (232)
- Any Ulduar 25 hard mode loot (239)
- Anything from ToC10 hard (245/258)
- Anything from either version of ToC25 (245/258/272)
- ToC craftables (245)
- Emblem of Triumph gear (245)
- Regular armor from ICC 5 man heroic (232)

Commento di Tropix

The text in the achievement box have been changed. It now clearly says that "Defeat Algalon the Observer in 10-player mode without anyone in the raid wearing any equipment with an item level higher than is available in 10-player Ulduar."

Which means that you can use items from Ulduar 10 man hard modes. As long as the items don't have higher level than the ones that drop in Ulduar ,you can use it. so the highest item level in Ulduar is XXX, that means you can't use items higher than level XXX.

To find XXX you need to find the highest item level drop in Ulduar 10 man.

Since they changed the text you can probably no longer use weapons that are higher level than the ones that drop in Ulduar 10 man.

To see an item level in-game you need to do this: Click ESC go to INTERFACE, choose DISPLAY, mark "SHOW ITEM LEVEL" in the lower right corner.

Commento di 421349

boredom struck, so i figured i would make a idle set for a holy paladin on this achievement. Of course some of the items are very close in stats value as some others in game, but this would be a goal im going to work towards with my own paladin.

Commento di Flibble

Did this achievement last night on our third set of serious attempts. Took 6-8 weeks of farming U10 one night a week to collect our gear (3-4 weeks before attempting it). Would have got this probably 2-3 weeks sooner but we had a lineup change and 2 weeks when people couldn't make it.

Comp: DPS given in parenthesis, probably 4-5% low because combat ends 20-30 sec after fight stops.
Tanks: Prot Warrior (2255), Feral Druid (1472)
DPS: Unholy DK (5819), Enh Shaman (me, 4980), Surv Hunter (4857), Shadow Priest (3899), Destro Lock (2688*)
Heals: Resto Shaman (21), Resto Druid (0), Holy Paladin (69)

* Was on star duty for all of p1

The claim that you need a Hunter on Collapsing Stars is rubbish. You need one ranged dps with controlled burst and good movement -- ours was a Destro Lock. We actually had to slow DPS to avoid hitting p2 before third Big Bang. Made Enrage with 25 sec remaining and everyone up.

The best tactic nowadays is to bring a Shadow Priest who's glyphed Dispersion, and have him soak each Big Bang. It makes the fight much easier when tanks can cooldown as necessary.

Commento di Gogetaex

My group has been getting gear for the last six weeks, along with doing fun random achievements in Ulduar.
This is our group makeup -

Prot Warrior
Prot Paladin
Holy Paladin
Resto Druid
Discipline Priest
Frostfire Mage
Afflic/Demo Warlock
Ret Paladin
Hunter
Enhancement Shaman

We are starting attempts on Herald tomorrow night, allowing the Prot Warrior to finish up his gearset.
I will let you know how this pans out after we're done for the night.

Commento di 252368

what about PVP gear?

Commento di AzerateAeriePeak

Seriously, they couldn't make this achievement anymore clear. No higher item level than drops in ulduar. And btw we did it today, you only need a group of people who know what they are doing, epic gems made it a little easier than it was back then i suppose

Commento di qaccy

It should be pointed out with clarity that for any casters in the raid, be aware that your off-hand frills must be ilvl 226 or below. For example, Shriveled Heart will not work for this achievement. All weapons can be up to 232 though, including staves.

Also, this achievement will become a Feat of Strength in Cataclysm. (Source)

Commento di Kalessi90

those achievements goes FoS because the requirement is survive, easy in lvl 85, but, Herald of the titans u need ilvl 226-232 gear to complete it, imagine a lvl 85 with lvl 80 gear.
Only time will tell

Commento di krilz

Completed this achievement last week and here are some comments for those planning this (as this week might be the last before the patch):

- Holy paladins are not mandatory; we managed to do this without one. Instead our healing setup was a resto druid (that did the raid healing) and a disc priest and resto shaman who were dedicated solely to tank healing. The shamans gear was purely crit/mp5 which basically lets him spam LHW all through the fight.
- Tanks were warrior and paladin. The paladin helps massively because of the amount they can block. I would not recommended you do this with a DK/druid combo as they can't block, but any other combo should be fine, but might require a holy paladin for healer.
- Shadow priest for soaking BB's is very advantageous but anything else can work if you feel comfortable enough with it. Note that Dispersion is the only skill/talent AFAIK that can soak BB without anything else. Shield wall for a warrior un-glyphed for example isn't enough which will require another cooldown, and you'd rather want to spend those for Algalon himself.
- None of our casters had 232 offhands. We read contradictory statements all over the web and didn't want to risk it.
- Some of us had some 226 PvP-gear so that works perfectly.
- Our 5 dps did on average 5k DPS which got him killed at around 30 sec before the enrage so that's a good benchmark. Note however that I died just before the 3rd BB (got ressed after) and was handling stars at the same time with about a 5.5k dps.
- Affliction warlocks are great for stars because they can dps those AND Algalon at the same time with little to no loss.

In short: If you got great players then this isn't hard. We had 3 or so people who had done this like 1 time (or never) and we got this after 40 minutes of tries. The try when we got to phase 2 with 9 people alive (which was the first) ended up in a kill. If you can make it to p2 slighty after the 3rd BB with the whole raid alive, you're done.

Commento di 232909

Got it today without best in slot gear(loads of 200s and our warlock even used level 60 items to fill missing pieces)

Protection Warrior
Blood DK
Discipline Priest
Holy Paladin
Restoration Druid
Retribution Paladin
Unholy DK
Demonology Warlock
Shadow Priest
Fire Mage

Got it on 4th try, first 2 were simple mistakes 3rd was a big miscommunication problem. I can tell you one thing don't over think about this have some basic communication skills and you should be fine.

Also as you can see no shaman aka NO BLOODLUST we had like 22 secs left on enrage.

Edit: This was on EU realms and although Wowhead says it was 4.0.1 when I posted this, it was still 3.3.5 on EU

Commento di Ithilion

Can i reforge my gear and still be able to get this achievement? It would be a lot easier to set up my tanking gear, as i need a lot of expertise.

Commento di 615081

We went for this achievement for the first time. And it was already during 4.0.1. I thought it would be a lot harder in the new patch, but in fact it was a lot easier than I expected. I was the holy paladin myself, so the tankhealing I was able to do was a bit lower than it would have been in 3.3.5, however tankhealing was doable and we managed to basicly oneshot it. We wiped once because the tank instantly died in 2 seconds after the pull.

Our setup:

Tanks:
Protection Paladin
Protection Warrior

Melee:
Feral Druid
Assassination Rogue
Frost Death Knight

Ranged:
Fire Mage
Marksmanship Hunter

Healers:
Restoration Druid
Restoration Shaman
Holy Paladin

We had the restoration druid on the raid, me on the tanks and the restoration shaman helping out alot on the tanks and the raid. Most of us had close to full i226 gear, and we have only had 2 Big Bangs. All the DPS were able to do 6k at least. And to answer a 4.0.1 related question: Yes; you can reforge your gear.

Commento di 553584

I can't imagine the physical damage mitigation change has helped the difficulty of this achievement.

Commento di 154968

Can you still get the title if it is converted to a Feat of Strenght and worth 0 Points with the next patch?

Commento di Omgomgesiuol

Yes, it is obtainable when it becomes a Feat of Strength.

Read the achievement- It says "Defeat Algalon at level 80" So the second you level you won't be able to get it, but if you level to 80 (NO higher), get the gearset (and a group) and do him, you'll get it.
But I highly doubt 10 people will bother to do that, so meh.

Commento di Icaria

This achievement became a big friggin pain in the ass in 4.0.1.

For some reason, probably has something to do with projected texture, but there's this really bright glow on the platform which makes it extremely hard to see anything. Especially when you go in the black hole, it's so bright D:

Commento di fakeh

Macro to test your gear's item level:

/run for i=1,19 do id=GetInventoryItemID('player',i); if id then _,n,_,l = GetItemInfo(id);if l>226 then if i<16 or i==19 or l>232 then print(n) end end end end

No warranty or implied warranty including that of fitness for purpose or merchantability etc etc... It should however print out any items you're wearing that do not fit for the achievement assuming that any item greater than 226 in any slot is invalid excluding your main-hand, off-hand or ranged slots which are invalidated by an item level greater than 232.

Best,
Dan.

Commento di 700589

There is a lot of controversy over whether 232 offhands are usabled for this achievement. I can confirm that 232 caster offhands are acceptable for this achievement. My guild just completed this moments ago and I used the Chalice of Benedictus from ToC (Calice di Benedictus).

The guidelines we used were as follows:

226 or less in every armor slot
232 or less in weapon slot
232 or less in offhand slot
232 or less in the ranged slot, with the exception of totems, librams, sigils & idols. These 4 we stayed under 226.

Can someone confirm if you can or cannot do this achievement, with reforged gear, please?

Commento di Profits

For some reason, the Dying Stars seem to gravitate towards the middle of the room now, instead of just staying around their four-corner square position like they used to. Bug or not? Has anyone else noticed this? My group had to pull Algalon to the side of the room so that melee DPS stopped getting sucked into the black holes at the wrong time.

Commento di 706708

We did this the other night. 2 heals, 2 tanks, 4 ranged, 2 melee.
Tanks was prot war and dk
heals was holy priest and druid
ranged was warlock, ele shaman, hunter, boomkin
melee was rogue and war

moment tanks had sufficient agro, we popped hero and went to town. Overall we had 42 seconds left before the enrage.

You don't need specific classes to do this, you just need people who know how to play their class well.

Commento di Trazgul

Confirmed still attainable After the Shattering at level 80. Just got it :)

Commento di Liquids

Still obtainable after patch 4.0.3a. The one hour limit is even gone now and you can indeed still get the achievement after fighting him for one hour.

Commento di Mysticum86

As stated before, this achievement CAN still be done, even though it's a Feat of Strength. For proof, check my Armory profile: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Twilight%27s+Hammer&n=Mysticum

The timer is also removed from the encounter, and my guess is that this is because of the new Flexible Raid Lock system that applied to Ulduar after 4.0.3a. If there were a timer, this could have been reseted since you are never locked to an ID, but rather to specific bosses (which in Algalon's case is pointless since you haven't defeated him if the timer runs out).

Commento di 56751

i got this one day before the shattering. it took people from the three top raids of my server to get the 10 together. and because most of us did not see algalon für quite a long time we did not get it until the second ID.

good luck to all of you still trying this the probably final last ID! this very cool und quite unique title is worth the effort indeed.

Commento di alharv2k7

Would this be obtainable, IF, you were level 80, with the other 9 people 80-85, but all wearing the right gear ilvl do you think? I know it's a long shot but just wondered.

Edit: Wondering since it doesn't state everybody has to be level 80, i'd be willing to leave myself at 80 for the first couple of weeks of Cata and get some help from guildies if it was possible, might try it out anyway since i'm going to miss the release anyway.

Commento di 615705

Doing this now with cataclysm flasks and potions should be a cakewalk once gear is acquired. 300 Intellect or Spirit and 1200 SP potions are HUGE at 80.

Commento di mevin

is it still possible to get this title if you are 85?

Commento di Crazyrussian

This achievement is next to impossible to get now.. I tried on my realm and I couldn't find a single person who wants to do it, could probably make a group if people were willing to transfer but not going to bother for an achievement like this.

Good Luck to anyone out there still trying to get this!

Commento di mugkatte

Defeat Algalon the Observer in 10-player mode at level 80 without anyone in the raid wearing any equipment with an item level higher than is available in 10-player Ulduar.

So this means you can still get the Herald of the Titans title, right? Could be nice if anyone could confirm my thought

Commento di DuffHB

I'm wondering if you can use the Heirloom rewards from the guild system to do this now on Cata...
It'd be nice to use the helm and cape for this :P

Commento di kinisevil

No...There is no chance at all to get it at 85 considering that the achievement requires you to be an 80!

Commento di Catchuer

Now im am wondering. becasue of the fact says "you" must be lvl 80 to earn this. and it does not say your group has to be lvl 80. Could u still be lvl 80 with ilvl 226 get the acheive if you are carried by lvl 85s who wont get the acheivement?

Commento di Aelobin

WoD update: For level 80s in WotLK instances, every 1 average item level above 200 gives you 1.67% increased damage/healing and 1% damage mitigation (unless a spell hasn't been squished properly).

Even though this became a Feat of Strength in Cataclysm, it is still obtainable so long as all raid members are level 80 (proof: Aelobin - The Maelstrom (EU)).
Both the achievement and title are account wide since patch 5.0.4

Here's some useful information for those who are attempting this in Cataclysm:

The key is no longer required to open the door to his room
The 1 hour time limit has been removed, so you can fight him for as long as you like
Armour items must be ilvl 226 or less, and weapon items (mainhand/offhand/ranged) must be ilvl 232 or less
It doesn't matter where your gear is from, so long as it meets the above criteria
Epic gems are allowed
Reforging is allowed (this includes mastery!)
Heirlooms are allowed (although you shouldn't really be using them)
The Cata leg enchants, MoP profession enchants and Savage Armor Kits are all allowed
You can use Cataclysm consumables (flasks/potions/food/Adventurer's Journals)
It doesn't matter what gear or character level is used to clear the trash and bosses before Algalon

The hardest part about getting this title is finding 10 level 80s with the correct level of gear (or time/motivation to farm the gear). It's a great advantage to have a shadow priest to soak all the Big Bangs with Glyph of Dispersion, but a rogue (with Feint, Glyph of Cloak of Shadows, and/or Cheat Death) works well too.

Healing isn't too hard with 2 tank healers (especially if one is a pally and/or disc priest) and if the collapsing stars are killed at safe times. Average DPS needs to be around 4k each, which is a very easy benchmark to reach with consumables/buffs/reforging.

If you're looking for gear, a good place to start is the JP vendors and craftable items. You can then pick up some easy 219s from the ICC 5mans and ToC5 heroic, along with some 232 weapons from ToC10, Ony10 and the ICC5 mans on heroic.

Update: This has become considerably easier since MoP. Tanks have higher parry from strength and can deal very good damage thanks to the changes to vengeance, and some of the MoP profession bonuses are usable on Herald gear. We even managed to 3 man it, which was soon trumped by Splosion and Dranah who completed it with just 2 Paladins.

I got the achievement after 4.0 dropped but before Cata hit. When we were all 80 but had the 85 talent trees.

My set was built based on what items were easiest to get at the time since there was a rush to get this done before Cata dropped.
Despite not being BiS, I got no complaints from the healers who said I was a lot easier to heal than the warrior.

wait so you have to be level 80 to get this achievement?

Commento di nintendobratkat

Is this still obtainable despite 4.3 dropping?

Commento di Baconhunt

Can some 1 please tell me if there was a 25 man version of this before. I dont remember

Commento di Crazyrussian

This should be much more easier to do from 4.3.2 and on thanks to the RealID feature allowing us to invite people from different servers to do this.

With the "Battle.net-account-wide achievements" coming in MoP, does this mean all our toons will be granted this title (as long as 1 of them has the achievement) ?
My main is 85 so can no longer get this title. If my level 80 alt gets the achievement, will my main also have the title when MoP is released?

Currently, there are quite a few groups running this, both on EU and US. Check your D&R forums, or http://www.twinkinfo.com/80-85-bracket/
As long as you are able to farm the gear and form a group, killing the boss is fairly straightforward.

For reaching 80, you can use the scroll of ressurection promotion, as long as you have an inactive account and are willing to pay for a month (in fact, it is possible to find someone willing to pay for you, because they get a mount for it). You get a free boost to 80, a full set of 232 greens, epic flying and other goodies.
Regarding class balance, arcane mages are a huge bonus due to their enormous damage and burst, but any group composition is fine, really. Any tank can survive big bang with cooldowns, you don't need a shadowpriest for that.

As for the fight, it has become pretty straightforward:
- Nuke the boss
- Run away from red void zones
- Tanks switch every 4 stacks
- Assign one dps to kill collapsing stars one by one, and warn healers as they die
- Ignore constellations
- Halfway through big bang cast, run into a black hole and move away from it so you don't fall into it again
With good dps he should be down before second big bang, which makes it fairly trivial.

Will still be attainable in Mists of Pandaria.

With the announcement of Account Wide Achievements, I decided to make an 80 and attempt this. If you are in the US Realms and Alliance, contact me so we may gather people. luiscamacho1993@hotmail.com

Here is a BIS setup for priest heal for this achievement, including gem, enchant and the reforge part.
https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/profile=34581385

Stats are chosen by aiming at most intellect available while keep the tier 8 heal 4pc bonus since disc will find it extremely powerful. Socket bonus is ignored in most cases because they are weak compare with extra attribute coming from epic int gems. Then followed up by stacking spirit. Notice that I picked up 2 items (off-hand and wand) that have hit, because extra socket which brings extra 20 int brings a huge benefit over any other spirit item that are available at this level.

Most of the off pieces are from ulduar 10 hardmodes, toc 10m normal 1-4, and the wrist is from os 25 2d.

Commento di Vargur

So why isn't there a 25 man equivalent?

Commento di dzidek83

We have 7 ppl in my guild to do this achievment. Actually we are leveling new characters just to do it. We need ~3 more. Guild Sindarin on EU Burning Legion. If you want to join us whisper Hegan in game or PM me on wowhead.

Commento di 1009003

If you're going to min/max (or just plan to use that char in next expansion etc.) and levelling your professions, you shall remember several facts:
Blacksmithing only gives you hole in wrists/hands for gem. That means you'll get 40 bonus to primary stat.
Jewelcrafting gives you ~42 primary stat because Delicate Chimera's Eye require ilvl 285 item (do not forget you'll also have to do dailies for Dragon's Eye and to learn how to cut them)
Enchanting gives you 80 primary stat on rings.
Alchemy gives 80 primary stat on flask.
Engineering gives you Synapse Springs, around 80 primary stat average
Inscription gives Inscription of the Earth Prince, Felfire Inscription, Swiftsteel Inscription, Lionsmane Inscription at the cost of Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector Arcanum of Torment, Arcanum of Blissful Mending , Arcanum of Burning Mysteries or Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector, around 100 primary stat average
Tailoring gives you Lightweave Embroidery and Master's Spellthread (replacing Enchanted Spellthread) being strongest for casters/healers. Huge buff, around 185 primary stat gain average for the price of 23 haste rating on cloak!
Leatherworking gives 130 primary stat on wrists and allows you to use epic patch on legs. 130 primary stat + 30 ap + 10 crit rating for agility class (assuming you would use 50 ap on wrists), 215 stamina gain for tank, or even if you do not benefit from leg enchant, it's still 130 primary stat gain on your wrist against 30 spellpower for casters. Still decent choice.

Commento di Royi

I composed this wall of text to help share to other friends of mine what CATA profession bonuses are out there. If I missed anything, please reply back and I'll try and keep this updated.

I just completed it last weekend with having the Tailoring bonuses on my Shaman(Lightweave Embroidery and Sanctified Spellthread), I think that and having a +300 Intellect Flask ( Flask of the Draconic Mind ) were some addons that were necessary to help raid heal it.

Also used basic cata buff food for +60 Intellect / Stam, you could use Fortune Cookie's for +90 of each. Biscotti della Fortuna

Overall Leatherworking and Tailoring are the most bang for your buck IMO (LW for melee/hunters/tanks Tailoring for casters) Due to the massive bonuses allowed with Bracer / Epic leg enchants for LW / and the Cloak enchants / Epic Leg enchants for Tailoring. I believe some of the Panda-Profession bonuses will be avail to LW/ Tailoring/ and Engineering too (not confirmed yet)

Engineering for the Synapse Springs and Inscription for the shoulder enchants I would put as a great 2nd Profession to go along with LW / Tailoring.

(These are not REQUIRED to complete this Achievement, but they do noticibly help, and if you're a BIS type of player who needs to maximize gear in any realm, this might be helpful to review as a composite list.

Probably see more of this now that come MoP achievement's and title's are BoA. So you can make an alt group of 80's kill it and all your 85+ now have it.

Commento di TheSlice

Day 1: W00t level 80. Hmm, maybe I should farm gear for Herald of the Titans...

Day 2: Going well, got some gear together. Hope RNG holds for 2moz. Damn that Halls of Reflection place...

Day 3: Why won't ToC or Halls of Reflection drop the off-hand! Getting a little frustrated...

Day 4: Ok srsly FU ToC and Halls of Reflection. Keep your stinking off-hand. I'll take Patchwerk's instead.

*heads to Ulduar*

Algalon, it is time! *many wipes later due to terrible, terrible 2nd tank* <earned achievement >! :)

Yep, from 80 to Herald in 4 days. And I was healing as Disc in Shadow gear (reforged for Disc of course) due to unexpected absence of second healer. On a plus note, totally creamed the healing (7.5k effective HPS). Disc is seriously OP in the right hands.

Armory:http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/ravencrest/Anaphylactic/simple (lol just noticed we also got Supermassive achievement at the same time as I was checking my page - fun)

Hit me up on Ravencrest if interested in doing a Herald run before I decide to level the priest to 85. Main is Novaslice (ret pala) in case I'm on that toon. Guild is Group Therapy.

Commento di dean2810

My preist is now level 80, gearing him up with 219/226 gear, If anyone is doing this shout me - Powerpriesty - arathor, Main is Rightouscow - arathor.

(atm im using higher ilvl gear on priest, but only to farm jp etc.

Commento di Deldramar

As of this tuesday (Patch 5.0.4) achievements become account wide and it will be very possible for anyone to get this title for their main character, even if the character is above the required level (80). Simply attain the achievement on a character who meets the criteria and the achievement will be granted to all characters on your account.

Commento di dzidek83

We've just done it :D

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/burning-legion/Kanyen/advanced

Can wait till 5.0.4 to use it on my main :)

Wrath Classic: Does anyone have any information/data/experience regarding how this achievement is earned with the new item level changes? Has anyone earned this achievement while equipped with Ulduar 10 HM gear (245 weapon or 239 armor/jewelry)?

Commento di ShadowTim7

Can anyone confirm if the iLvl 245 gear from the 10 player ToGC/vendors work towards this achievement?

Commento di dfordeathmaggy

2023 Requirements
Weapons / Offhand Max iLvL 245
Gear Max iLvL 239

Confirmed

Doesn't matter where you get the pieces from, the achive was put in the game before ToC was released
therefor it says no higher then ULDUAR iLvL pieces..

The achivement is iLvL restricted, not from where the Gear or Weapons are from.
