Leeeeeeroy? What is that and how to get it?

Leeroy

You might know, and even have, the achievement known as “Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy !” and the title “Jenkins”.

To get the achievement (and the title), you have to kill 50 Rookery Whelps in the Upper Blackrock Spire instance in 15 seconds. 

To be honest, it doesn’t have to be the rookery, it can be any location with eggs.

The easiest spot is, according to WoWWiki, the room you fight Rend Blackhand in.

He stands on a ledge and calls for waves of enemies to attack the individual in the large room. If you notice the small room, these waves appear is full of eggs all of which respawn. Simply run in there and get the achievement easily.

Do you know where the name comes from?

It comes from a video released by a guild called “PALS FOR LIFE”. In this video, you can see a group of players discussing a detailed battle strategy for the next encounter while one of their party members, Leeroy, the tank, is away from his computer. Officially, he is cooking chicken.

Leeroy returns and, ignorant of the strategy, immediately charges headlong into battle shouting his own name in a stylized battle cry: “Leeeeeroy Jenkins”. His companions rush to help, but Leeroy’s actions ruin the meticulous plan, and the group wipes.

Here is the video. Enjoy this classic WoW moment.
