Ladies and gentlemen, we’re back for a new episode before we take another couple of weeks off! The next episode of Blessing of Frost (number 46) will be released on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012.
Until then, here’s an episode detailing the first four bosses in Dragon Soul (normal mode!) and also introducing you to one of our newer raiders in Apotheosis, Serrath.
First thing to link — Hotfixes! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/4023884/Patch_43_Hotfixes-12_2_2011#blog
Please note, we recorded on December 18th, so we don’t talk about these new hotfixes. Especially noteworthy? ZA and ZG have been nerfed and Deepsea Sagefish (the fish used to cook intellect food) now have their own pools!
The biggest thing to note is that we are holding a contest that ends at 11:59pm ET on January 1, 2012. The contest is send in an audio bumper for one of the following show segments:
– Loremaster
– Hotfix
– MOLL-E (pronounced Molly)
– /Raid (pronounced “slash raid”
– Guild Tab
– Shoutouts
– Tip of the Week
The best bumper received between now and 11:59pm ET on January 1, 2012, will receive their choice of one of the $10 Blizzard pets in the Blizzard store, courtesy of Serrath! Audio bumpers should be in mp3 format and should be sent to us at:

Icy-Veins is a great resource for raiders! Lots of description and detail on all the various mob/boss abilities. Of particular note, their comments on the Yor’sahj the Unsleeping encounter.
That’s about it for this week — keep tabs on us by following us on Twitter: @kurnmogh and @Majjity for us and then @ApotheosisET for our guild (apotheosis-now.com!) and, of course, @serrath_ for our guest this week, Serrath. 🙂
Please rate us up on iTunes and leave us a review for a shoutout!
Regarding the “Wind Burst should no longer knock players back too far”
It was a bug that they introduced with the patch. We were doing a raid achievment run for the first tier of cataclysm, and when we got to Al Akir we noticed that we only had untill the first pushback to kill him as he would push everyone so far back that we would loose the buff that enabled us to fly, resulting in everyone falling to there death as soon as he did it.
The fix was to enable a raid to have more then 10-15 s to do damage to him in the last phase.
It was doable tho, we got the achievment as we were flying backwards to our death while watching our dots do there thing.
