Likewise, Ick and Krick were quick once everybody stayed out of the sick… or the green slime. This time we followed the standard rule of heading straight for the next boss as directly as possible.įorgemaster Garfrost went smoothly enough, though with the running around Skonk was getting a little stretched keeping everybody in range with line of sight for heals. Last week we meandered around the front of the instance, which is a wide open room. Jaina sent her team out to be slaughtered and, apologizing for that gaff, turned to us and tasked us with finishing the job. Maybe some part of the story was unfolding and I missed it. I am not sure why she takes a few minutes to arrive. There we had to wait for a bit for Jaina Proudmoore to show up. I can see that going awry as well.Īnyway, we were through the first instance in no time and took the portal through to the chain to the next one, the Pit of Saron.
I was in 4th place when it came to DPS.Īnd, of course, boomkin is always an option, though that would make our DPS three soft casters. So I have to work to do to get up to speed on that. And in groups of mobs I am always in the wrong spot.
Also I find myself struggling to keep positioned behind the target mob so I can use my most effective attacks. I am so used to letting the tank go in first that I forget to stealth and get in position ahead of time.
There might have been a reason I switched from rogue to pally in the group back in 2007. That was just the beginning of my struggle to come to grips with playing a cat form feral druid. I got popped seconds into the fight and so spent most of it dead on the floor.
However, with a full group, a warmed up healer, and a real tank this time around, the Devourer of Souls went down quickly and without much fuss. We had a plan and stepped in to execute it. There we stopped and went over what we learned last week, when it took us three runs to finish it off. As before, we fairly blazed through the trash mobs and the first boss, clearing all that stood before us until we were left with just the Devourer of Souls.
Plus I totally spoil the ending if you haven’t done it yet.įirst up was the Forge of Souls. More after the cut due the usual verbosity and over use of screen shots in place of narrative. There was a thought given to trying it at the Heroic setting, but we opted for Nomal given that this was our return venture. We wanted Earl to get the whole show and we figured that since we only had trouble with the final bosses on the first two as a foursome, that being a full group would speed things along. (Humanoids in the picture above: Skronk, Alioto, Bung, Ula, Earl, Jaina Proudmoore) And so, for the first time in at least two years, we were all together in a group and ready to do an instance in Azeroth. Somewhere along the line I guess the summoning stone requirements got reduced to just two people in your group being required to summon. Ula, Skronk, and I got out to Icecrown Citadel and used the summoning stone to bring Bung and Earl to us. This time around we would go for all three.
We managed two out of three, with the second one being a bit of a trial for us. Last week four of us delved into the final chain of three instances that wraps up the five person content in Icecrown Citadel.
