Uldaman Clear - Archaedas Down

Ok, having asked around to various alliance guilds, that most certainly have the firepower and levels to achieve this mark, we've yet to find anyone who's killed Archaedas on Kil'Jaeden. Also, Thottbot has no Kil'Jaeden profiles as wearing any of his drops. As such, we have some modicum of certainty that this is a bonafide server first. At worst, we're certain no one has done it with all but one character at level 45 or below (we had one 47 rogue who levels too much).

The encounter itself is not terribly difficult if you follow the proper strat and execute well, but it requires a decent mix of classes and levels with the right balance of healing and mitigation as well as burstable dps.

I'm pleased to say that on our fourth attempt at him, he and his cronies dropped like a rock and the book is closed on another instance.

We'll continue to kill him for his nice rings and a few nice weapon drops but we're already exploring Zul'Farrak in Tanaris and have killed a couple named there too.
