[10] Naxxramas Achievements

[Arkhen]

Any tips for completing the achievements here? besides the obvious ones (like undying or safety dance)
For example Arachnophobia: is doable to clear all the trash from Anub and Grand Widow and then go back to start killing the bosses?

Any raid build for the Grand Widow one? I was thinking having a Disc Priest, Holy Pally and Holy Priest as healers here have a warrior OT to pop Shield Wall and me with Bubble

For the 20 min one if you have a fully geared group of people it will be easily doable without really trying

If you dont have the dps to kill bosses n trashes fast then you will need to try skipping the lewt part and also chain pulling abit more

The Grand Widow just requires a good tank and a fair bit of dps
Having the tank shield wall and priests using gaurdian spirit etc and palas use BoSacrifice can help alot also but i belive having a well geared tank and healers is what makes it trivial

You can skip a fair amount of the trash between Faer and Maexx if you crawl through the gutters. The gate to Faer is closed until Anub is dead, so you can't pre-clear trash.

Warning: people being bad at avoiding patrols will end up aggroing many things onto you at once.

Faerlina is just a gear check.

Arachnophobia is very simple as long as you can kill bosses in 3-4 mins each and aoe down trashs without resting. For us the key was not losing time in loots

[fuzzygeek]

Someone is close enough to the timer that loot distribution'll make a difference, just leave it on the corpse. Should be good for at least one hour.

I think we missed Arach achievement by a few seconds because of loot a few weeks ago. Heh.

Yeah have loot on group loot, and just Need if you need it, greed for DE, keep moving. Arachnophobia is quite easy.

Mumma Said Knock Her Out can just be heal spammed. We did it the first week because some idiot killed all the adds at the start.

No charges on Thaddius you just need non-retards and no "lag spikes". Depending on your group this could actually be kinda hard. We've never even come close.

The 8 man ones are pretty self-explanatory, ideal composition is 1 MT, 1 DK/feral OT, 2 healers, 4 DPS, cept perhaps for maly.

3 min PW is easiest with 25 man gear and 2 healers.

Saph with no FrR is easy with 3 overgeared healers.

KT with 18 aboms is easy, as long as you don't lose count and only do 17 (happened to us on first try!).

Not getting hit by lava strike is "easy". (DI someone at the start, spend the fight dead).

Undying you just need no bads / no DCs on Thaddius.

All go down together needs good co-ordination, but is otherwise quite simple.

Sarth + 3 and Maly in 5 mins are the two hardest here, by far. Sarth + 3 is doable but needs perfect execution, and a very high level of gear. To do Maly in 5 mins, you'd need a minimum of 60 seconds for P3, which means P1 and P2 in 4 mins total, which would need some serious DPS. The other option is to "save" sparks, but chain stunning / rooting them while bringing Maly down to 50% without them. Then at 50%, pop 4-6 sparks, and use an all-ranged group to burn Maly to 1 hp, then kill adds, then hit him once with a fireball on the drakes and you win. It's tough but doable.

There are probably some more, but can't remember em off the top of my head.

Thx for the input, we actually manage to get a couple of them, but server lag (is really annoying lately) was the cause we missed the one from Thaddius and horsemen
Is the one from Loatheb bugged? Cause DPS kept swearing that they didnt hit the spores

This one seems to be currently impossible. If a spore despawns it counts as being killed, even if no one gets the crit.

Apparently there are some people that have the 10-man version.

My guess is that, when they despawn, they still proc the buff on nearby players. So, you'd have to kite the boss away from the spores so that they despawn away from the raid.
