Sunwell Plateau is a 25-man raid instance located on the Isle of Quel’Danas which was implemented with Patch 2.4. The instance is intended to be the most difficult in the game until Wrath of the Lich King, and caters to Black Temple/Hyjal geared raiders. The instance bosses drop tokens redeemable for new pieces added to the Tier 6 Armor Sets and loot better than that from Black Temple. This raid dungeon requires no attunement.

The instance contains both outdoor areas and building interiors, where players will find captured naaru, which are the primary power source of the town, and inside the final building the Sunwell itself.

The architecture of the Sunwell Plateau is comparable to that of Silvermoon City.

There are a lot of classes in WoW that excel at PvP. Mages, however, are usually considered one of the least PvP suited classes. This, of course, is not true. While many will say that the only true way to PvP a mage would be a deep frost talent build. True, the frost tree is indeed excellent for snaring opponents and improving your survivability. Fire and Arcane builds, mixes or otherwise, can also be effectively used as well. It’s arguable that PvP specialized mages must have good gear. This is true of any class but a lot of PvP also depends on the player’s skill and ability to react to the challenges brought in PvP. Naturally, better gear will give your character more potency but playing battlegrounds and arenas will bring about better gear, specifically PvP suited gear.

Ulduar is a dungeon hub located at The Storm Peaks of Northrend and is a treasure trove of information on the Titans and their activities. Ulduar is a mysterious subterranean realm of ice and stone. It is controlled by storm giants, and their minions the crystal golems. The entrance is well-hidden and heavily guarded, only allowing the clever to sneak inside. These giants are a dying race desperately avoiding their fate, hiding rather than fighting in the battle of the Sourage.

Halls of Stone is a large 5 five-man dungeon, and is the first instance of the titan city Ulduar wing.

The Lich King is the final boss of Icecrown Citadel.

The Lich King is the master and lord of the Scourge, which he rules telepathically from the Frozen Throne atop the Icecrown Glacier.

Kil’jaeden the Deceiver created the Lich King from the spirit of the orcish shaman Ner’zhul to raise an undead army to conquer Azeroth for the Burning Legion. Initially trapped within the Frozen Throne with Frostmourne, the Lich King eventually betrayed Kil’jaeden and merged with the human Arthas Menethil, although Arthas became the dominant personality of this fusion. With the destruction of Frostmourne and the death of Arthas, Bolvar Fordragon took the powers of the Lich King within himself, imprisoning the master of the Scourge within the Frozen Throne once more.

The Lich King is the titular antagonist of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

The mare Brightmane gave birth to Invincible as a young Prince Arthas watched with rapt attention.
In the years following Invincible’s birth, the horse and Arthas formed a bond that carried them across the warring nations of Azeroth, through the icy grip of death, and into the throes of battle.

The stallion’s coiled muscles were made for speed, and Arthas often felt that his mount flew rather than galloped across the countryside. With the slightest touch of his heel, Arthas was able to convey his directions, and Invincible obeyed without question or hesitation.

It was Invincible’s unfaltering faith in his master that inevitably led to the stallion’s death and unholy rebirth. On a cold winter afternoon as snow was blanketing the ground, Arthas was desperate to get away from the city even if it meant riding through harsh and unforgiving weather. Once outside, Arthas guided Invincible over a familiar jump, but the stallion slipped on slick ice, and the fall shattered his forelegs. With no way to save his companion, Arthas was forced to give Invincible a merciful death, and the prince carried that guilt with him for a very long time.

Years later, after the Lich King granted Arthas necromantic powers, Arthas returned to the grave where he had buried Invincible and raised his loyal servant into undeath. It was in this dark act that Arthas felt a sense of purpose. He believed that Invincible’s death was not an accident; rather, it was essential to Arthas’s destiny.

Invincible was not bred to be a warhorse, but after he was brought back from the dead and made immune to hunger, pain, and exhaustion, he became the perfect steed for Arthas. Now the skeletal charger stalks Icecrown Citadel, ever at the ready to serve his beloved master.

Arthas and Invincible were as one until parted by the stallion’s untimely death. Now, they are rejoined in death through the power of the Lich King and pose a fearsome sight for all who gaze upon them. Only the power of the heroes of Azeroth can part them once more.

In order to attain such a steed, one must conquer Icecrown Citadel and face the Lich King on Heroic difficulty. Perhaps you will be the lucky individual to obtain the most coveted of mounts — the Invincible Charger. This reward awaits those who are brave enough to tempt fate and face the full wrath of the Lich King!

Sindragosa, formerly the prime-consort of Malygos, is a mighty frost wyrm who was raised by the Lich King himself at Sindragosa’s Fall in Icecrown. She is the very same frost wyrm that the Lich King raised in the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic, as the same scene is played out after completing the quest Where Dragons Fell.

Sindragosa is briefly seen in the Pit of Saron, the second 5-man Icecrown instance, after the defeat of Scourgelord Tyrannus. While the leader of the army of liberated slaves (Martin Victus for Alliance, Gorkun Ironskull for Horde) commends the players for their bravery and their efforts to free them, Sindragosa flies up from the pit below and unleashes her fury, killing the leader and his army. The players are pulled back to the entrance tunnel by Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner, saving them from a grisly death.

Sindragosa appears as a boss encounter in the Frostwing Halls inside Icecrown Citadel. She was one of the first two bosses to be announced, the other of course being the Lich King himself.

Recount is a graphical damage meter written by Cryect. Recount (Preservation) is an attempt to preserve it through the 2.4 patch and fix up some minor things along the way.

Supports Game Version: 3.3.0

WOW Recount Damage Meter-v3.3e_release

FAQ:

1. Q: I don’t see Recount after installing, what to do?
   A: /recount show, then /recount resetpos. If this doesn’t help delete all (there are more than one) Recount.lua files in your WTF directory.
2. Q: I don’t see details when I click the recount bar, how to fix?
   A: /recount resetpos
3. Q: I don’t see my pets, totems, gargoyles, guardians, Why?
   A: Check the config window (cogwheel icon, or /recount config) and uncheck “merge pets w/ owners” to see details about pets, totems or any entity that is treated as pet or guardian.
4. Q: Can you add effective heals to Recount?
   A: Everything that Recount displays as healing is what other addons call “effective healing”. I.e. numbers that you see displayed as healing never contain the overhealing component.
5. Q: I have a question about DPS…
   A: DPS is a poor measure, don’t expect extensive discussion on the topics. You will find it already at numerous places. I only fix bugs regarding recording data, but don’t plan to ever touch the DPS formula otherwise.
6. Q: Can you add absorption as separate display or to be counted as heals?
   A: No, the combat log doesn’t report which spell, or which spell-caster caused an absorption so this is currently impossible. There are however ways to guess this information. A separate module called RecountGuessedAbsorbs is available that adds a display mode for guessed absorbs to recount.
7. Q: I have asked a question before and got no answer. I demand an answer!
   A: I cannot answer everything, I answer per time, capacity and ease to answer. I take everything I read into consideration but don’t expect that everything can get an answer.
