Super short guides and comments on difficulty for ALL the achievements

Cataclysm Dungeon Hero
Difficulty: Zero
Comment: Meh

BRC

Crushing Bones and Cracking Skulls
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: As long as tank positions correctly (AoE stuns help), this one is cake. Just dont zerg the boss too fast

Arrested Development
Difficulty: Medium-Very hard (Gear dependant)
Comment: Simple execution, hard in completion. The evolved hit extremely hard, so bring a geared group. Remember interrupts on boss AND adds and make sure you only take one at a time.

Too Hot to Handle
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
Comment: All about the tank. Stack it slowly, 1-2 at a time and the damage wont overwhelm you.

Ascendant Descending
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: Dedicate one player to kite duty. Warlocks with exhaustion, frost DKs with chillblains, hunters with trap, pretty much anything works.

TotT

Old Faithful
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: Kill the two caster adds, bring the melee add down to ~50k hp, stack up, wait for geyser, move away and voila.

Prince of Tides
Difficulty: Very easy
Comment: Just dont kill the behemoth too early. You can tank it, kite it, do whatever with it. Doesnt really even hit exceptionally hard.

Stonecore

Rotten to the Core
Difficulty: Very easy
Comment: Pick up ALL the mobs in front of the boss, aggro boss and aoe like %#())/(. Make sure you interrupt force grip if you are slow on aoe to prevent tank death, as you cant attempt again with the same method!

Vortex Pinnacle

No Static at All
Difficulty: Easy (With priest)-Medium
Comment: If you have a priest, keep levitate on everyone except tank. If not, then just make sure you jump. Remember, only 1 second cast, so stay awake!

Extra Credit Bonus Stage
Difficulty: Zero
Comment: Just pick them up all around VP. They spawn under bridges, in the air etc. Just look around and youll see them.

Lost city of Tol'Vir

Kill It With Fire!
Difficulty: Very Easy
Comment: Kite dark phoenix so Soul Fragment runs in to fire, nuke it down. Very simple.

Acrocalypse Now
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Comment: Many ways to do it, including staying mounted except tank/heal (you are screwed if tank/healer gets scent), hunter traps/snares and kiting (Works 100% if you can do it) and bugging by evading the crocs on the statue thingies (Not really intended). Just make sure you have 20+ crocs up and zerg them down, you can wipe afterwards-

Headed South
Difficulty: Medium-Very Hard (Healer Intensive)
Comment: EDIT: The DK bug has been fixed, but the intended way has been discovered. Kill the LAST spawning servant first, and the shield will drop. You should have enough time to dps down the boss without hitting the shield for ages. Still healer intensive thanks to all the aoe damage.

HoO

I Hate That Song
Difficulty: Easy-Hard
Comment: Depends entirely on group makeup. If you have a pet or a healer that can interrupt the cast, its easy, but if not, your gonna have to be VERY fast in picking up the snakes on one side and running back up to be on time to interrupt boss. Just make sure you put 2 players on each side and healer stays on top.

Straw That Broke the Camel's Back
Difficulty: Very easy
Comment: Just dont get hit by the spike.

Sun of a....
Difficulty: Medium-Very hard (Depends on Gear/RNG/Classes)
Comment: This can be frustrating, as the boss almost randomly chooses how much energy he wishes to use. Sometimes you have 20 seconds to nuke before recharge, sometimes you can nuke for a minute before he starts. Warlocks can enslave adds from the chaos trash (turn off autocast on the aoe heal thingie!) to give free 7k dps if you are lacking dps. Kiting the boss to corner helps as well, as the boss runs to the center of the room always to channel. 1heal/4 dps or 4dps/1tank also helps.

Faster Than the Speed of Light
Difficulty: Medium-Hard (Bit class/Gear dependant)
Comment: Just move fast, and ignore troggs that you can. The timer isnt too strict, as long as you move quickly.

Grim Batol

Umbrage for Umbriss
Difficulty: Easy-Medium (He can gib the tank)
Comment: Kill the first adds normally, on second one, have the tank pick up the malignant trogg, take boss to <10%, kill trogg, kill boss. Pop cooldowns.

Don't Need to Break Eggs to Make an Omelet
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: Just make sure you focus DPS and have good slows. Warlock with portal/exhaustion is perfect for example.

Deadmines

Ready for Raiding
Difficulty: ...
Comment: Do. Not. Stand. In. The. Fire. You can even jump over it.

Rat Pack
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: When the oaf smashes in to the logs, rats spawn. Critters with 100 hp, just wait for enough charges.

Prototype Prodigy
Difficulty: Easy
Comment: Just dont fail with it (Just ignore the knockback), and do not get damaged on trash either, it counts as well.

It's Frost Damage
Difficulty: Easy (If you can spare a wipe)-Super hard
Comment: Take boss to 75%, move inside hut, dont kill adds, explode for bazillion damage and wipe, but youll still get the achiev. If you dont want to wipe, do some fancy kiting with a ranged dps around the hut. Or something. Or just do it the easy way.

I'm on a Diet
Difficulty: Very easy
Comment: Just go one good-one bad-one good-one bad...and so on. Youll never go above 1 stack.

Vigorous VanCleef Vindicator
Difficulty: Hard-Very hard (Gear/Class dependant a bit)
Comment: At start, jump over ledge for free 15 seconds of time. On machine part, dont panic, dont die, take it slow if you must. Its all about hard, focused dps and not failing on stupid things. And remember, only one shot per instance, so make it count!

SFK

Pardon Denied
Difficulty: Medium
Comment: Easy to perform, but little tough on healer. Just use self heals if possible.

To the Ground!
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Comment: CC at least one of the adds always if possible (Trap/Shackle etc.), burn the other one down while stunning/interrupting it and then take the other one. If you have more cc, just burn boss and keep adds controlled.

Bullet Time
Difficulty: Easy-Medium (Curse dispel...)
Comment: Just kite adds in front of the boss when he uses Pistol Barrage. Chill on dps, and tank dont get suicidal.

And after all of that...

Enjoy your drake! Congratulations!

The achievements that most likely will give you trouble are Headed south/Vancleef/Sun of a... so get dedicated groups for those if they prove to be too hard.

MoP Guide for Glory of the Cataclysm Hero. Most achievement require not more than one ppl,so you can solo most of them as a tank,or class with average self-heal

Difficulty:
1/3-Can be done solo with easy,not difficult overall
2/3-Can't be done solo,or can but hard or achievement is difficult itself but can be done solo
3/3Can't be done solo in any way,achievement is difficult

BRC

Crushing Bones and Cracking Skulls
-Cannot be done solo,you need 5 players. For every player alive during quake,one add will spawn.By the time he summons adds 3rd time,1st pack despawn. You need 10adds. Then take him down to 66% or 33% (don't do it before adds spawn). Hold them near boss. Profit
Difficulty-2/3

Arrested Development
-Soloable. Do not take all 3 at same time. 2 of them are survivable on cooldowns,but 3 will oneshot you (%hp strike). If you are alone,just pop cds when two of them come and kill them quickly,than kill the last one. If you are in 2 or more,kill them one by one.
Difficulty-2/3

Too Hot to Handle
-Easy soloable with current gear. After pull take him to stream of lava,hold him for 15stacks (or more if you can handle),move him out,after debuff runs out move him in,repeat.I held 75stacks with 520ilvl on cooldowns,so 15 is no problem.
Difficulty-1/3

Ascendant Descending
-Hard to solo.Better to bring friends.One need to kite copies,and one to kill boss. Don't try to leave his room with copies,he will reset
Difficulty-2/3

TotT

Old Faithful
-Soloable. Bring Lady to 66%. Kill 2 adds,and bring one of witches down to around 100k hp.Wait for Geyser and come with add inside it. Boom,profit. Don't mistake water vortexes that move with geyser on the ground. Difficulty-1/3

Prince of Tides
-Soloable.You need to DON'T kill big faceless that comes at start of the encounter. Kill everything but not him. Wait for Neptulon to buff you up after you complete phase 2. Kill Behemoth. Profit
Difficulty-1/3

VP

Extra Credit Bonus Stage
-Easy,soloable.Click here for locations of the orbs.
Difficulty-1/3

No Static at All
-Soloable.Just jump when he cast Static Cling
Difficulty-1/3

LC

Acrocalypse Now
-Soloable.Wait for crocolisks,kill them when 20 of them comes with aoe.
Difficulty-1/3

Kill It With Fire!
-Run a little with phoenix and kill him. Burn boss to 50%. Wait for soul fragment to come and try to place phoenix,flame and you in one line,and when soul fragment run over flame,kill them. Hard to solo,easy to duo
Difficulty-2/3

Headed South
-Soloable.You need to be near Servants of Siamat when you kill them,after you kill 3 the Siamat shield will drop. You need to burn him as quickly as possible. Around 120k dps needed for it.
-Another way of doing is is bursting siamat during phase 1,when his shield is up,and killing adds when siamat is near death. You can try this way if you do not have dps to kill him before debuff wears off
-Tip:You can wait for 3rd Servant to come up,kill him,than just dps siamat and add more stacks of debuff by killing previous servants,because shield should go down after you kill last not all
Difficulty-1/3

HoO

I Hate That Song
-Hardest one. You need 3ppl,and one of them need to have interrupt (tank). DPS should jump to pit few secs before 66% to clear snakes. One left,one right. Than both must activate lever after they kill snakes.And interrupt boss then,then repeat.
Difficulty-3/3

Straw That Broke the Camel's Back
-Soloable. You must avoid Earth Spike(1st phase) and Quicksand (2nd phase). Earth spike before it emerges look like a cloud of dark dust,and quicksand looks like swirling sand
Difficulty-1/3

Faster Than the Speed of Light
-Soloable if you have placeable aoe(D&D,Consceration,etc.)Just speedkill,water one will stun someone forever,and you need to kill bubble on stunned one
Difficulty-1/3

Sun of a....
-Just kill boss,dps requirement is a joke with current gear
