Any general idea when the Lich King will die?

[Laethea]

I know it's not certain, and I'm not in any hurry for it to happen, but has Warmane given any kind of general guess on how long it might take for the Lich King to die? Just looking for a general progression timeframe here.

All depends how long raid tiers are gonna be and how hard the fights are gonna be as well as will the content be released all together or in wings? Many factors to factor into this... But A LONG time... I'd say one and a half year to two years.

1 month
1month
1month
1month
so expect 6-9 months for him to die.

I think they said 3 month per tier(IDK if they count TOTC as a full tier?). So, LK will be released a bit under 8 or 11 months from now. Then I would say 1month until dead on HC If classes are 100% retail like. If they are not, and some classes do to much damage, could be dead 1st week. Depends on class scripts

I think he will die in january/february 2017

My guess is 3-4 months after ICC release.

My guess is 3-4 months after ICC release.

No way. 25m HC-LK should be dead in a month, 1.5max. Most people have been farming LK for months, possibly years if you count private server time as well. The only limiting factor would be gear, with split runs, you can get near BIS in a month which won't even be needed because you can count on some class bugs to cause more damage then intended thus nurfing the gear req.

I think most of people didnt even kill full 100% working LK , add to this progression gear etc.

Don't forget we're starting without the ICC buff...

No way one and a half year. 8 months from now guilds will be farming LoD already.

The only limiting factor is gear, I'm sure anyone who is doing ICC25HC has been farming it for months/years and have tons of kill on it. So, the only limiting factor is how much gear people have. The actual progression on the boss will be eezpeez. And, depending on how much people "try", you can get a raid BIS in a month. + you can expect class bugs which will allow DPS to be higher than intended, so maybe less than a month

2 months till Naxx released. 3 months after that ulduar, 3months after TOTC, 3months after ICC, 1month for kill = a year.

When did they state each tier is lasting at least 3 months?
