I am, as is typical, blown away by the execution and precison this grp consistently maintains, no matter what the fight...it speaks not only to the talent of each of your players individually, but the cohesion y'all possess as a grp..there is no question why y'all are number one, and it is a position well earned and deserved
As always Paragon, I congratulate you and stand in awe of your level of raiding ability. Cata is shaping up to raise raiding to next level, this hunter plans to bring her A game and then some
@agamerkid I'm not certain, but the nameplate addon is either "Tidy Plates: Threat Plates" or "Aloft". Of the two, I would suggest Threat Plates, but I've heard Aloft can work as well. One thing to note is that Threat Plates is a plugin to Tidy Plates. Just do a google search and install them both.
Well this is cool. We actually get to see most of the model as we fly about. The problem with old Ragnaros was that usually you were just staring at a reddish pillar as you fought him
I have yet to see how the mighty Al'Akir fares in his combat against the 25 crusaders/conquerors, but from Paragon made the fight sound very epic. The deep voices in the soundtrack in the beginning of the video máde this fight for me =)
Great kill, very nicely executed, and looks quite challenging to me. One thing I had wandering on my mind the entire fight though; how incredible is that druid tank over there, that he managed to survive so many attacks from a sword which is about 10 times his body, swing by something so big that you can only see his bottom?
@ingofreak well isn't the lore a "make as we go along" kind of thing? :p It just dissapoints me that a game that I left 4 (maybe even 5) years ago delivers a boss encounter of an exact copy of Thunderaan, only with a clitchy-looking fly-in-space-of-nothing fight. The game is supposed to change, that is what an expansion is supposed to do, but actually if you started out in 2004, the gameplay, and the models were pretty much the same as now - with the exception the flying without wings thinge.
@CriCk712 looks like bartender action bars, pitbull unit frames with recount, sexymap and omen. oh and omniCC for his cooldown counters. not sure about his raid frames or buff bars.
@Ccbroo Its nothing like the thunderaan boss encounter. Not even close. Also, there are 4 elemental lords. This is the elemental lord of air, there wont be another one.
@Mikrobitz You're choosing to watch this, no? You don't have to watch the videos to know what's going on. There is a VERY small majority of people that actually watch the boss fights to know what's going to happen because they enjoy the "element of surprise". Blizz does this to test for bugs. To let the average (No, Paragon is not average) player test it out. Tho you may not believe it, it does help with tuning and bugs.
@PwnNubtarzz well they use to play with this kind of raid, their roster is created from wotlk players, so, they are still the same person :) and it's beta atm! and yeah, finnaly a hunter PoV, really great! gratz on the kill guys!
@d5782 Well im pritty sure that Blizz has Paragan aswell as Premotition and some other guilds on there beta by purpose, Reason why: Feedback on the raid contet wich is conret and they can help blizz making the encounters better wich might be hard to do with Pugs in raid...
@k0ksii If "teh warrior" is verdisha, he's probably the only person in the raid doing aoe damage since he's tanking. There's also a damage buff from the adds.
@Outofrangelol that is why they call it beta... they already buffed the hell outta a couple of raid bosses.. Maloriak comes to mind. The numbers arent set in stone yet.
@Graviteh I hope thats not vanilla youre talking about because 10k-12k was on very very high side of gear for a tank that is, and as for 97k dps where do u see that?
@helldevil555 Yeah, Raid Bosses don't really have a level. Technically, they're Level -1. But "Boss" Err... Level ?? (Boss) is a special level really-- It's [Your Character's Level] +3. They have static HP and Attack Power, but a dynamic level for all other purposes (such as hit)
alright, there are about a million comments about the hunter's UI, but it seems only one person has commented about the paly tank's UI and he didn't get an answer... I would ALSO like to know what that paly tank is using to change the color of the health bar of a mob that he has agro on? the last guy guessed that it was omen but wasn't sure. I don't think it's omen, I don't know what it is, and i would LIKE to know. Please help! >.>
When your resto druid puts down the AoE green circle heal, how do you get the glowing green circle to show on the ground? All I see are streaks of leaves when I use it and my particle density's on high. Maybe it's because my graphics card sucks?
@GamingVanilla Al'Akir is as much of a god as is Ragnaros. They're both Elemental Lords, servants of the Old Gods. You have to bear in mind that Blazer Vs The Lich King is a Fan-made video, thus, holds no actual Lore in it, it was made for fun.
@RayKillzya they wouldn't post the insanely amount of tries they might have done before this kill , and don't forget that they like , play for profession so they don't enter in the equation.
@Mysentro Its a normal mode m8 progression for the top world guilds comes in the heroic modes, and i think blizzard is going to cater to the hardcore with the heroic modes, they have already said that the normal modes are too easy and are being buffed
Okay, I never wanted to be one of these guys that ask what addons are used. But how does the hunter manage to give recount, omen and the unit frames such nice skins? Could u or someone else post an addon list? Would be very neat!
@alokpinto Not shure, but I think Al'Akir does alot area dmg + casts those area lightings which does dmg + whack tank. Basically it's just dukenuke him down as fast as you can and avoid those lightnings and stormlings. This is how i see it, I might also be wrong, I'm not a pro.
whats the name from the threat addon at 2.19-3.14 is it omen? if yes, how can i configure it that it look like in the video? greezz (sorry for my english) =P
One question for the pet users in this raid. I would be glad if you could answer it. Is the pet able to attack the boss in the final phase? Or is just buggy and does nothing?
I am, as is typical, blown away by the execution and precison this grp consistently maintains, no matter what the fight...it speaks not only to the talent of each of your players individually, but the cohesion y'all possess as a grp..there is no question why y'all are number one, and it is a position well earned and deserved
The music really adds the "POW" to it. And the serious...feel. =o
You guys always have great music.
Finally a boss that is bigger than your screen, we've missed you vanilla sized bosses!!
Beautiful music, beyond words, just makes me wanna stand up and wave my arms around like a crazy person :P
"After every storm comes the calm..." Pretty epic death quote for the lord of wind.
As always Paragon, I congratulate you and stand in awe of your level of raiding ability. Cata is shaping up to raise raiding to next level, this hunter plans to bring her A game and then some
@agamerkid I'm not certain, but the nameplate addon is either "Tidy Plates: Threat Plates" or "Aloft". Of the two, I would suggest Threat Plates, but I've heard Aloft can work as well.
One thing to note is that Threat Plates is a plugin to Tidy Plates. Just do a google search and install them both.
I watch this and it makes me wanna play again... Perhaps some day I shall..
@Melonemelo you can either use kgpanels or manually add background and border to each addon
Well this is cool. We actually get to see most of the model as we fly about. The problem with old Ragnaros was that usually you were just staring at a reddish pillar as you fought him
nice, we can finally see it from all 3 PoV - tank, dps, healer
@schultze95 Read descripsion
"Last boss of the Throne of the Four Winds raid instance in the upcoming WoW:Cataclysm expansion."
This is why I subscribed, epic music again =D
@Bartlett909 This is the beta, not every boss has voices in yet. They will on live servers.
@helldevil555 It does-- when it says "Level ??" or "Level ?? (Elite)". But when it says "Level ?? (Boss)", its Boss level not 10 high.
Fucking phenomenal. Blizz is pulling out all the stops for Caty.
@pappamia123 He is running TukUI on a low resolution. The damage font is in there, too.
@ImXeh They have tested them.
We've been testing raids extensively in-house for months. Beta raid testing will begin very soon. Stay tuned. -Valnoth
I have yet to see how the mighty Al'Akir fares in his combat against the 25 crusaders/conquerors, but from Paragon made the fight sound very epic. The deep voices in the soundtrack in the beginning of the video máde this fight for me =)
The abilities and what's happening are all on wowwiki as well as the manaflask blog.
>.< Wow that looks epic, cant wait. Now i wished i'd kept playing the beta :P.
@Patrickdrums6732 It is said that a lot of the encounters are easier than they will be, and are going to be buffed quite a bit.
@Mikrobitz
they already said most raid encounters were undertuned so they will be tougher then it launch
visual effects here are off the scale dear god, what on earth will ragnaros be like, you know how blizz loves their fire effects
music title: Budget Meeting LOL thats one hell of a meeting!
Nice vid guys. Can u put warrior or dk POV:s in next videos? Thanks
@Rhotoku You mean unit frames? (Not grid) they are called pitbull
@nyphix4321 Turns out you need to turn one of the other options on under video. Something about spells fitting to environment, I can see them now.
Great kill, very nicely executed, and looks quite challenging to me. One thing I had wandering on my mind the entire fight though; how incredible is that druid tank over there, that he managed to survive so many attacks from a sword which is about 10 times his body, swing by something so big that you can only see his bottom?
@Abemunken
I'm pretty sure Ensidia hasn't claimed any of the world first 25man kills yet...
@CriCk712 Tukui, from the looks of it an edited version, either by himself or from the forums on the site.
al'akir just hearing that name fills me with excitement :P
THIS LITTLE ONE SHALL VEX ME NO LONGER
@ingofreak well isn't the lore a "make as we go along" kind of thing? :p It just dissapoints me that a game that I left 4 (maybe even 5) years ago delivers a boss encounter of an exact copy of Thunderaan, only with a clitchy-looking fly-in-space-of-nothing fight.

Can you imagine how keen the guild leader of Paragon must be lol, WoW is his life, his job and his world!
EPIC MUSIC, PERIOD
The hunter is using the old version of elvui. Best place to check for his ui is on the paragon website
@CriCk712 looks like bartender action bars, pitbull unit frames with recount, sexymap and omen. oh and omniCC for his cooldown counters. not sure about his raid frames or buff bars.
Finally a fight that looks epic
@George9c TWO 359's
sounds tough considering the rep gear that is offered >.> my paladin has 2 359 pieces and im not raiding yet
oh well
That ui im palying with is tukui. There is couple modifications, stay focused, xfilter , omniCC
@Marac031
If u watch it on the original setting i believe it is better then 1080p
pause at "original" for a few mins for the " OMG IS THIS ME PLAYING?!" feeling
@Ccbroo Its nothing like the thunderaan boss encounter. Not even close. Also, there are 4 elemental lords. This is the elemental lord of air, there wont be another one.
That looks like a boss, finally
@Mikrobitz they never did private testing...
Anyone wanting to know the first guys UI, it's an edit of Tukui, I don't know which one exactly, he might have edited it. Just google Tukui
Which addon was the paladin tank using that showed the cooldown of his tank abilities? That was pretty interesting, and looks quite useful to me =D
@Marac031 youtube doesnt process 1080 properly.
@Mikrobitz
You're choosing to watch this, no? You don't have to watch the videos to know what's going on. There is a VERY small majority of people that actually watch the boss fights to know what's going to happen because they enjoy the "element of surprise".

Forget this Vid -.- Phase 1 has changed a lot and isnt that boring anymore!
@PwnNubtarzz
well they use to play with this kind of raid, their roster is created from wotlk players, so, they are still the same person :)
and it's beta atm!
and yeah, finnaly a hunter PoV, really great! gratz on the kill guys!
@helldevil555 not if theres a (boss) next to it. Then its 3 levels higher.
this fight looks really epic compared to most of the other ones
I find his sword amusing. Look at the huge notch in it, and look at where it lands whenever he attacks. BAM, notch right where the tank is standing.
this fight looks crazy fun
@d5782 Well im pritty sure that Blizz has Paragan aswell as Premotition and some other guilds on there beta by purpose, Reason why: Feedback on the raid contet wich is conret and they can help blizz making the encounters better wich might be hard to do with Pugs in raid...
@PwnNubtarzz That could only happen if each class brought mandatory buffs.
@k0ksii If "teh warrior" is verdisha, he's probably the only person in the raid doing aoe damage since he's tanking. There's also a damage buff from the adds.
@Outofrangelol that is why they call it beta... they already buffed the hell outta a couple of raid bosses.. Maloriak comes to mind. The numbers arent set in stone yet.
AL'AKIR
what a great name.
@Graviteh
I hope thats not vanilla youre talking about because 10k-12k was on very very high side of gear for a tank that is, and as for 97k dps where do u see that?
@helldevil555
Yeah, Raid Bosses don't really have a level.

They have static HP and Attack Power, but a dynamic level for all other purposes (such as hit)
@TheShortyjjb9 just wait and see who kills the end bosses on heroic
the cata bossfights look very good
what addon is the holy pally using for her health and mana bar? anybody know?
alright, there are about a million comments about the hunter's UI, but it seems only one person has commented about the paly tank's UI and he didn't get an answer... I would ALSO like to know what that paly tank is using to change the color of the health bar of a mob that he has agro on? the last guy guessed that it was omen but wasn't sure.

@Bi0hazad and in 480p or less full screen!
@GamingVanilla Al'Akir is as much of a god as is Ragnaros. They're both Elemental Lords, servants of the Old Gods. You have to bear in mind that Blazer Vs The Lich King is a Fan-made video, thus, holds no actual Lore in it, it was made for fun.
that was friggen awesome
@RayKillzya they wouldn't post the insanely amount of tries they might have done before this kill , and don't forget that they like , play for profession so they don't enter in the equation.
@Sugsy23 nop not just u its excatly at 3:08 and it is a 53k crit
@plitschplatsch how do you think the shaman felt, after chogall they wont let him go resto anymore.
Anyone knows the addon they use for the combat text? (I mean dmg/etc)
Fuck me, that is one hell of a big boss.
omg, I NEED that hunter's UI
@Mysentro Its a normal mode m8 progression for the top world guilds comes in the heroic modes, and i think blizzard is going to cater to the hardcore with the heroic modes, they have already said that the normal modes are too easy and are being buffed
Okay, I never wanted to be one of these guys that ask what addons are used.
But how does the hunter manage to give recount, omen and the unit frames such nice skins?
Could u or someone else post an addon list? Would be very neat!
@alokpinto
Not shure, but I think Al'Akir does alot area dmg + casts those area lightings which does dmg + whack tank.
Basically it's just dukenuke him down as fast as you can and avoid those lightnings and stormlings.
This is how i see it, I might also be wrong, I'm not a pro.
Hey Kruf if u can answer, y did u only use Aspect of Fox; i know there is a of moving during the fight but is Hawk not worth the extra AP?
Epic, just 1 month remaining.
Holy shit that's a lot of raid healing.
@warlik86 Hans Zimmer - Budget Meeting
@lastho Maybe you need a new rotation?
anyone know what the hunters raid UI is called?
what is the music? its so epic
whats the name from the threat addon at 2.19-3.14
is it omen? if yes, how can i configure it that it look like in the video?
greezz
(sorry for my english) =P
if they actually put this boss that big I can't wait to see deathwing fight...
why do ye all use hans zimmer soundtracks xD
One question for the pet users in this raid. I would be glad if you could answer it.
Is the pet able to attack the boss in the final phase? Or is just buggy and does nothing?
I like Paragon mostly because they aren't big-headed ego-maniacs like a lot of other guilds. They seem like they actually have fun playing the game.
great music
This fight is so epic, i cant wait until i get to face him!
i want to see a melee dps vid from paragon,especially from Rakez.
Showing the focus AND the percentage of the focus. Yea we really ned to see both !
that might be either in cata or in wrath but im not sure
cata...
Todella Epic
@crackthecorn apparently u haven't played Beta
