There accept been WOW Gold Iron Challengers aback Cataclysm and absolutely alone a scattering of Victors, however, the aboriginal apotheosis of the claiming website was added of a advertisement website instead of what we are aggravating to do here: show-casing the Iron Man Claiming association that was congenital and continues able today. My contempo actualization on Leeta’s Behind the Avatar fabricated me anticipate accepting a spotlight on some of the association in our association would be a abundant thing, abnormally if times are lean. I’m assured a abeyance in Iron action if 6.2 drops… but that’s okay… already association are apathetic with that, they’ll appear aback searching for a claiming again.

I would like to alpha off this alternation by animated the Spotlight on Lyssan… the aboriginal Iron Challenger to hit Akin 100 in Warlords and not alone that but this is the THIRD time this aforementioned appearance has accomplished an Iron Man level, accomplishing it alert afore for Cataclysm (85) and Mists of Pandaria (90). Lyssan hit 100 (on December 14 2014) afore the WoW Challenges website was up, so you may not accept heard the account but that doesn’t beggarly we can’t highlight the accomplishment now. Lyssan’s newest claiming is to akin up a Petless Hunter!

Here’s my Q&A with him (please go simple on the criticism, it’s my aboriginal time accomplishing a Q&A).

Q&A with Lyssan:

WC: How continued accept you been arena WoW?

Lyssan: I started arena WoW in 2007, appropriate afore Burning Crusade. I’ve been arena on and off anytime since.

WC: How continued accept you been arena the Iron Man challenge?

Lyssan: I was admiring to the Ironman abstraction aback it started as an abstraction on the battle.net forums about 3 years ago. My aboriginal Ironman toon, a paladin, died at akin 42 in Eastern Plaguelands. Afterwards that I played several added challengers a part of which a Warrior that concluded her run at akin 79 in Dragonblight, a akin 81 shaman dead in Zul’Drak (both are still the accomplished akin in their class, as far as I know) and of advance the priest Lyssan who is still animate at akin 100. I am now arena a hunter aberration that doesn’t use a pet at all – currently akin 71.

WC: Your character, Lyssan, is the aboriginal Iron Man to hit Akin 100 but aswell has three Iron Challenger belts… do you bethink what you were cerebration if or activity if you hit 85, 90 and 100?

Lyssan: Accepting to 85 was appealing hard. I acquainted acceptable but I was aswell motivated to try afresh in the new expansion. I started the 85-90 cruise a brace of weeks afterwards MoP launched and accepting to 90 was exhilarating. One of the affidavit was that the Ironman association was, abundant as it is now, actual alive and admiring during that time. In contrast, leveling from 90 to 100 acquainted a little bit anticlimactic. A lot of of the absorption for the claiming was gone, official tracking website was not maintained, there were alone a scattering of humans (the “usuals”) alive on the forums and aswell the bold acquainted easier than before. It was a bit of a letdown, I accept to admit.

(as a trivia, Lyssan has 22 days, 4 hours of /played time beyond three expansions).

WC: Did you carefully aces a Astrologer to akin as an Iron Man vs. the added accepted Hunter? (as an aside, I KNOW Lyssan is a Priest but Astrologer popped up in my arch because of the hotlink colours I use on the site… I will acceptable be alteration that soon).

Lyssan: Lyssan is a priest not a astrologer but the acumen I went with the priest was that until that point I haven’t ahead played a priest at all. I was not abiding how far I could go in the claiming abnormally that the cutting majority of the ironman association anticipation priest was harder – with no pet, no cc, no armor. It angry out to be a arduous and fun choice.

WC: What is your fondest Iron Man memory?

Lyssan: Two canicule afterwards I accomplished akin 90 as the aboriginal Ironman to do so, I accustomed a letter in the mail from somebody who created a toon on my server just to congratulate me for the feat. That acquainted appealing good.

WC: What was one of the affliction or awkward agency you’ve died as an Iron Man?

Lyssan: I’m appealing alert and I don’t die actual generally but sometimes that is not enough. The affliction way to die has to be my akin 83 band rogue who fell to her afterlife during the adventure The Drakkensryd in Storm Peaks. For those that don’t apperceive this is a adventure that takes abode about a Storm Peaks abundance and requires you to jump from drake to drake application a harpoon. Sometimes the adventure bugs out and your drake despawns afore you can get to addition one which agency assertive afterlife – unless you are a priest (or a mage … I think).

WC: What fabricated you adjudge to try the Petless Hunter?

Lyssan: I like hunters. My aboriginal anytime WoW toon was a night-elf hunter (original, I apperceive :)). But I consistently anticipation hunters are a little beneath arduous for Ironman (especially aback they got their absolutely spec’d pet). So, I thought, maybe a hunter after a pet would accomplish it added challenging. And I was appropriate – it is added arduous and actual fun to play.

WC: Do you acquisition Petless Hunter decidedly added difficult than traveling in as a approved Hunter?

Lyssan: A petless hunter still has the abounding hunter kit, advancement and DPS – the alone affair missing is the meat absorber to accumulate the mobs occupied. the a lot of important affair is accession and accepting allowance to kite. So, yes, it is added difficult but annihilation that you can’t affected with accomplishment and bold knowledge. I accept never acclimated Ice Trap and Concussive Shot in so abounding altered agency afore – it’s actual fun to play.

WC: Do you anticipate the Petless Hunter is added applicable than added classes? Like, say Warrior?

Lyssan: Absolutely. Comparing it to warrior is a little arbitrary because currently Warrior is “almost” absurd to play (I say “almost” because I still anticipate it’s accessible but acutely harder and annoying – whoever takes a Cheap WOW Gold Warrior to the end band deserves a badge for patience). But I would adventure to say the petless hunter is easier than added classes like Mage or Shaman. Can absolutely accomplish it to the end line.http://www.zyy.com/
