Earth Wind and Fire (10 Player) by Vanquish
A few hours ago, Vanquish (US-Staghelm) managed to take down all 3 bosses of the Vault of Archavon within one minute and was the first guild in the world to complete the Earth, Wind & Fire (10 Player) achievement. Congratulations to them!

From the screenshot it looked like they pulled both bosses to Koralon's room. Koralon and Emalon were stacked on top of each other and Archavon was pulled away from the other two so... one tank tanked Koralon/Emalon, one tanked Archavon/Emalon's adds? Just a guess, we'll find out more details later.

Well, you can't tell that much from the screenshot. For all we know, Archavon was killed first of the three, then the other two were moved due to the tanks getting out of the fire, etc.
was emalon actually :-), As much hype as this got we were suprised the top guilds didnt kill it first its not as hard as 25 man is but still very very fun.

Everyone mail cookies to Vanquish!
Seriously, it's quite the impressive feat. Yay! They got 10 more achievement points! They're so awesome!
I'm clearly unimpressed by world firsts and the people who spend countless, lifeless hours pouring dedication into something that has no real meaning for the world around them.
What I
DO
like though, is watching Ensidia fanboys put down other guilds. That's entertainment right there.

I just saw this quote somewhere else. "Anyone who plays more than me is a lifeless basement dweller. Anyone who succeeds less than me is a stupid noob."
Get over yourself buddy.
On another note, have you watched the video for it? There's one up on MMO-Champ. It's pretty amazing. I give them props for doing something difficult. I give them even more props
because
there is no reason to do it other than because it's a difficult feat and it's there to do.
I'm sorry that some people play the game for different reasons than you.

of course, they could execute this strategy with any combination of the bosses, but I think what I mentioned above would be the easiest because Em requires 2 tanks. the other 2 are doable with 1 tank each. If you combined Em with either of the other 2, you would need 3 tanks. Assuming you have 2 healers, that only leaves 5 spots for dps. While that's feasible, I think attempting this achievement with 6 dps would be easier.
But Emalon doesn't require 2 tanks; he's easily solo-tanks on 10 man.
The video shows what I'd have expected the strat to be. Pull Koralon, get him mostly down (20%) and kite toward Archavon. Pull Archavon, DPS Archavon down to around 10-15% (and Koralon should be down to around 10% by now also). Then leave 2 tanks and 1 healer dealing with Koralon and Archavon while a tank, healer, and 5 DPS goes over to Emalon. From there it's a matter of timing the kill over /Raid for vent.
Emalon shouldn't be much of a problem. In the "early days" of 10 man Emalon pugs, you could run it with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 DPS and still beat the explosion. With actual geared up and focused DPS, the 5 shouldn't be a problem.
Certainly need a good raid group though. Great tanks and great healers are 100% required. My guild could probably put together an EW&F group and pull it off.
