Death knight gurus Raegwyn and Valacar took a team of 10 death knights and defeated the heroic version of 10-man Ragnaros. No healers, no casters with epics, just 10 amazingly badass death knights showing off their skills.
Their raid composition was as follows:
- 1 frost DK
- 6 DPS blood DKs
- 3 tank blood DKs
Meanwhile, 10 warlocks announced today that they were able to take down a bunny in Elwynn Forest.
Grats all around!

I am so glad I wasn't drinking any coffee or water when I read that.
Grats to Raegwyn and friends!

When I first read that I had to double check and make sure it wasn't Mr. Belt who wrote the article haha.

Now this is just untrue last I checked there where only 7 of us active warlocks playing wow

"Meanwhile, 10 warlocks announced today that they were able to take down a bunny in Elwynn Forest."
Only after we tortured the mage to polymorph his own friend. Details, my friend.

Adam Holisky will burn in the twisting nether for all eternity for his slight against warlocks.
Jamie Mar 13th 2012 7:27PM
Make sure he's not going to burn on a Wednesday. There aren't enough Warlocks online over the world to ensure he'll burn.
What with Gary at Band camp, because he told that priest he was more than a one dimensional kind of guy. Steve is up in his attic writing poetry AGAIN Seriously Steve quit with the poetry man, you're not just hurting yourself, you're hurting EVERYBODY.
Finally Gwendalin will be playing her alts because while she says she's a warlock, sometimes ya gotta let go of the hate and start facerolling as a ret paladin, right? Right...?
Anyways with all those three out on Wednesday, good luck with the fel-rage retaliation*.
(*Speaking of retaliation, you know who really gets retaliation? Warriors. Yea, we're awesome.)

I dunno dude, I'm pretty tired from wiping to that bunny for 4 hours. It was satisfying to finally down it, but I don't think I have it in me to smash my face against the brick wall of Holisky while 5 of us continually fail at mechanics.
"No, No! Don't stand in the Red Editor's pen of doom! ARrrg. Ok, just wipe it."

Little? known fact: Adam Holisky is a warlock.

What is it, national hate on Warlock day? First the breakfast topic, then the queue, now this? Ouch man. Just ouch. I too had to double check to see if mr. mage pants wrote this :p

Gratz to Raegwynn for this awesome kill! Btw lol at the warlock comment in the end, so true :DDD

Nerf DKs?
On a more serious note, I wonder what other classes can do this? I mean besides the obvious Druids and Paladins with their 4/3 specs. Shamans? Hunters? Warriors? Or none of the above?
Cephas Mar 13th 2012 10:36PM
Any class without a real tanking spec would be in a serious world of hurt - this kill was done with 9/10 of the raid in a tanking spec, and Warriors can't come close to the self-healing of a Blood DK, so yeah, other than classes that can fill all three roles, DKs are probably the only class that could pull this off.
Kuro Mar 14th 2012 11:45AM
This particular feat is courtesy of an OP 4pc Blood DK tier set. That x9 plus the Blood DK self healing means no need for healers. Also remember that DK's get a dps buff on the fight by using Dark Sim on rag and duplicating his knockback spell.
Blood, 4P -- Your Vampiric Blood ability also affects all party and raid members for 50% of the effect it has on you.
Vampiric Blood
1 min cooldown
Temporarily grants the Death Knight 15% of maximum health and increases the amount of health received from healing spells and effects by 25% for 10 sec. After the effect expires, the health is lost.
Still pretty cool tho.
Warriors and Paladin tanks don't have the healing ability. A gaggle of feral Druids might be able to pull this off tho. A mixed group of all 3/4 classes of Paladins or Druids would also work.

Awesome blossom for both teams :-)
incoming00 Mar 13th 2012 7:12PM
psh, i'd like to see 10 mages take on an Elwynn bunny. us locks at least have the advantage of self healing and tanking with our pets.
damn furry critters....
jorge_av Mar 13th 2012 7:14PM
After reading that last sentence, I had to scroll back up and make sure Belt didn't write this.
Revnah Mar 13th 2012 7:28PM
That's pretty sick. I mean, self-healing, sure, but dedicated healers heal their backsides off on this fight! Yes, I realise it's one tier later but this fight is still *hard*. Hats off to those ten.
Besides, on behalf of D.E.H.T.A. I cannot approve of the cold-blooded murder of fluffy animals by eyeliner-wearing would-be goths. Tsk!

The only player on that server named Valacar is a level 72 paladin. Something is fishy with this video.
Azhra Mar 13th 2012 7:42PM
Nevermind, I forgot to switch my region while searching. As for why I was looking to begin with, what shoulders is he wearing? He has upgraded since this video, so I can't tell by his armory.
