ToC Achievements

The Trial of the Crusader has very few bosses, and hence very few achievements. Our last two adventures into the ToC involved six and seven wipes per night. As we see that number go down, there is no reason why we cannot throw in a few achievements before switching to the hard mode (ToGC). The following are the achievements in ToC and their strats:

First Boss Encounter:

• Not One, But Two Jormungars

Defeat Acidmaw and Dreadscale within 10 seconds of each other in 10-player mode. Drop Acidmaw + Dreadscale to about 15% health each. Wait for them to submerge once more. Once they re-emerge from the ground, simply get them down slowly together and then kill them within 10 seconds of each other.

• Upper Back Pain

Defeat Icehowl while at least 2 Snobolds remain alive in 10-player mode. I as a tree have never ever in all my time in ToC 10 and 25 player, never had a snobold on me. Someone on WoWHead is saying the same thing. It appears if you're shapeshifted into anything, you won't get a snobold on you. So if you have problems with snobolds, get yourselves 8-10 pigmy oil, noggenfogger elixirs, etc. Wait until all four snobolds are out, then pick two to die. The first players to get cleared of your snobolds are your healers. The best players to carry snobolds: rogues, warriors, DKs, hunters, ret pallies, and enh shaman.

Really must remove snobolds off of: holy pallies, casting shammies, mages, locks, and boomkin. Take off thorns, ret aura, so the snobolds don't take reflective damage.

Second Boss Encounter:

• Three Sixty Pain Spike

Defeat Lord Jaraxxus while at least two Mistresses of Pain are alive in 10-player mode.

Third Boss Encounter:

• Resilience Will Fix It

Kill the enemy heroes within 60 seconds of each other in 10-player mode. Resilience doesn't actually have any effect in this fight. Pets don't count towards 'enemy heroes'. That means it is a good idea to kill the pets very quickly at the beginning, especially the Felhunter. The Felhunter has only 126K health.

Fourth Boss Encounter:

• Salt and Pepper

Defeat the Twin Val'kyr in 3 minutes or less in 10-player mode. Speed kill. Provided we DPS hard and not stuff up on vortices and shields, it'll get done. All DPS should be doing about 4800 DPS to achieve this.

Last Boss Encounter:

• The Traitor King

Kill 40 Swarm Scarabs within 30 seconds in 10-player mode.

This seems pretty hard, but does not require the boss to be killed. So can wipe after the achievement, and do the encounter normally.

About 10 scarabs spawn each underground phase. Need to distracting shot, crippling or anaesthetic poison and fan of knives. Lots of ice on the ground to slow them down. Everyone has to run away from them, and AoE when 40 have been collected.
